Reapers will build a mass relay in dark space (by cannibalizing one of their own) that connects to the mass relay network in the galaxy. They will travel the galaxy to Earth where they will promptly begin carnage.

Shepard will go around the galaxy, Dragon Age style, to recruit other Civilizations to help, Council races will be on board by default (Asari, Turians, Salarians) but will require specific (short) quests to get them 'hardened', making them more useful in the 'final battle'.

Krogan's will be recruited in one of two ways. If you saved Wrex, you will help him finish uniting the clans. If you didn't, you will have to replace Wreave (with Grunt) and continue from there. Depending on how you handle the Council races' quests will dictate whether or not the Krogan forces are hardened.

The Quarian flotilla forces will be recruited in one of three ways. You will either help the Quarian's eliminate the Geth, then take their remaining forces (the size of which will be dependent on what you did with the 'heretic' geth), or you will convince the Quarian's to not fight the Geth, or you will side with the Geth and eliminate the Quarians (think elf vs. werewolf from DA:O).

The terminus races will be recruited by bringing them under the banner of Omega. This will be done in one of two ways. You will either side with Aria and unite the Terminus systems under her banner, or you will side with Cerebus bringing some of Cerebus' *experimental anti-Reaper* technology with them. Either way, you will either need to kill Aria, or the Illusive man. Cerberus would have joined the fight anyway, but would fight on their own, if you side with Aria, you will have to take them out. If you side with Aria, you can still access the anti-reaper tech for the final battle through Liara (LoTSB).

Speaking of deaths, there are a few more. Anderson dies. So will Legion, Thane, Samara and either Zaeed/Kasumi (depending on your choice). You will have a chance to *save* Mordin (during the Krogan quests), if you let him die the Krogan will be more powerful in the final battle. If you save him, the Krogan will still fight but wont be as good. Similarly, you will have a chance to save or kill Miranda or Jacob (Cerebus/Omega quests).

The success/failure of the final battle is dependent on how many 'hardened' forces you bring to it, similar to how Normandy upgrades worked in ME2. It is possible to get all forces hardened, but it will require a very high Paragon and Renegade score (you will need high of both to get everyone hardened). So will probably only happen after multiple playthroughs and/or cheats. Also, depending on whether or not you saved the Rachni will help in the final battle. In a normal playthrough, you can expect some faction(s) to be wiped out.

Each recruitment race comes with certain benefits, you can be successful if you have a proper mix (e.g. Krogan + Geth + Terminus + Rachni = success).

Finally, cheating on your LI from ME1 wont have too bad an impact. You can recover if your Par/Ren is high enough.


The ending will change depending on many different factors depending on who you sided with and who gets wiped out in the final battle (e.g. if you sided with a weakened flotilla, the Quarians can get wiped out in the final battle). It is also possible to lose the final battle, in which case, you die.


End of line.

Damn, I hope that is true, for speculation, its some of the best ive read.



Any idea what the first 'warm up' mission would be OP??

[The Unfallen]

I am more interested to see who you think the final boss is/will be.

I really didn't want to mention this, since I wanted to leave at least a bit of a surprise, but I will tell you this.

Think the Saren fight and the Harbinger "assuming direct control" thing, but on steroids. Also remember, the reapers' ability to dominate a person is directly proportional to their distance to the target. Meaning that at close range, they can assume control of many avatars. Yes, I said avatars. You don't really think the reapers don't notice all those teammates of yours, do you?

Also, the reason 'recovering' a LI will be easy is because the reapers know that getting to humans through loved ones is a known weakness. What better way to spite Shepard then to make him kill the one(s) he/she loves?

The recruitment missions can be done in any order.

As far as the opening mission is concerned, similar to how you had to escape from the Lazarus base in ME2, you will start ME3 on earth just as the reaper invasion hits. You will need to fight your way to the spaceport to get off planet and start your main quest.

[Dr. Heart]

I can confirm that this is all true.

But what if you don't have an LI, like my Shepard? Do you have to kill an indoctrinated Garrus Vakarian or something?

I like this human. He understands.

Seriously, anyone who has played a lot of Bioware games can come up with something like this. There arent that many formulas that work for epic RPG games. Add some creative writing experience and you can come up with even the most plausible crap. Look at the recent "conspiracy theory" therads for an example of such.

[Pedro Costa]

Guys, OP's trolling you all. Funny how Legion dies but Tali doesn't. Funny how romances will be so impactful when BioWare repeatedly stated that they were optional, and, indeed, there are those didn't romance anyone. Funny how siding against Cerberus has no impact to your playthrough since, apparently and magically, Liara also has top scientists who can enter the Omega-4 relay and recover Reaper-tech and give it to you. Funny how there are, apparently, "Terminus races" when Vorcha are useless except as shock troops and batarians prove themselves useless. Funny how the option of the all-human council isn't even explored, and how some "recruitment" missions are more in-depth than others.



Not to mention, ALL of the things OP talks about can be inferred by playing Mass2 alone and then filling in the blanks with what each player personally would like to see happen.

Personally, I would prefer egging the Quarians to attack the Geth resulting in both races being crippled.  Legion built up this whole, two sides of the same coin, ying-yang thing in his speech.  Egging them onto war should cause the extinction of both, IMO.

Funny how I just re-read the entire OP and couldn't find a single place where I stated "Tali doesn't die".
There are some team members that will die no matter what, those are the ones I mentioned. Almost all other teammates can also die, depending on your actions and choices, and no, I won't list all the possible combinations since I can't be arsed to.

Funny how romances will be so impactful when BioWare repeatedly stated that they were optional, and, indeed, there are those didn't romance anyone.

Funny how I, again, re-read everything I have posted in this thread and was unable to find where I said "Romances will be so impactful". You don't need to have a LI for the final battle, you just need to have a team, which, you will, whether you want to or not. If you have a LI, then the final battle will use it with some special cinematics, if you don't, it will use your the rest of your team as normal. Were you unable to understand that? You really should get your propensity of "thinking you *know* what someone is saying when you actually can't even understand their basic point" checked by a professional.

Funny how siding against Cerberus has no impact to your playthrough since, apparently and magically, Liara also has top scientists who can enter the Omega-4 relay and recover Reaper-tech and give it to you.

Funny how I don't even need to know ME3's story to call you on your own bull$h!te. Funny how no one said that Reaper-tech came from through the omega 4 relay. Funny how, in your haste and retardation of the facts, forgot that the reapers don't live on the other side of the omega-4 relay, but in fact, the collectors do (to make it simple for you to understand - reapers != collectors). No one needs to go through the omega-4 relay to get 'reaper tech'. But at this point I think you may be too stupid to understand even these basics (given your track record).

Funny how there are, apparently, "Terminus races" when Vorcha are useless except as shock troops and batarians prove themselves useless.

Funny how the terminus races include more than just Vorcha and Batarians.

Funny how the option of the all-human council isn't even explored

Funny how the "all-human council" has nothing to do with the "Council Races". Asari, Turian, Salarians are still part of the "Council Races" even if the council is "all-human".




I think I know the reason why you find so much of this "funny".

Its because your own understanding of what is going on is very very poor at best.

As a word of advice (take it or leave it), please try to at least ensure you have the basics right before you decide to come in and spam troll a thread.

Now, begone troll.

[belwin]

interesting interpretation,
some things if in the game, will undoubtedly have more options imo.



i look forward to seeing the storyline when ME3 comes out.
but then again, who isn't?

[Someone With Mass]

Well, this doesn't sound fun at all. More cliché.
