How are you hoping we'll beat the Reapers? A straight forward battle or something more profound?

I read that month and a half ago on IGN. I think they have deleted that by now, but I remember it.

What I would like to see is a cooperative front in which every race would focus on its own special gifts to neutralize the Reapers.

Having the Quarians (Perhaps with the Geth's help if the situation is addressed in the game) create a complex virus that would somehow disturb the Reaper shields or otherwise hinders them, the Salarians using their superior intelligence network for gathering any scrap of info and perhaps creating an organic virus to infect their organic parts; Turians could use their massive fleet to mount a straightforward assault that would serve as a distraction for the humans' surprise attacks/guerilla warfare.

What would Shepard's part be in all that? Well, a Paragon Shepard is one of the few humans that have proven their loyalty to the Council and the galactic community, while a Renegade Shepard, while having focused on furthering only humanity's goals, still is the only one to have communicated with/fought/killed a Reaper, so that makes his opinion worth more than that of a dozen generals and strategists.

There are many more that I think would/should happen, but that's the gist of it. As long as BW doesn't pull an ala The War of the Worlds ending and have the Reapers' organic parts infected by the common flu found on Earth while the organic races are getting their asses kicked out there, I'm fine with it.

I took that as meaning that Shepard has to simply find out how the Reapers have got to the galaxy considering that we prevented them using the Citadel in the 1st game. It seems a bit of a stretch to say that the quote means we're going to the Reaper homeworld - although I think that would be pretty awesome to see.

It's definitely not an explicit statement saying that we will, but it's something to consider. To be honest, I've often thought of going to dark space to be a possibility, so I wouldn't be surprised either way, really.

I dunno about you guys, but I'd love to use the Citadel for its true intended purpose: a portal to dark space. BioWare just has to make what's on the other side all epic and awesome.

Worst case: Brown Corridor Shooter, inside a Reaper mothership, where Shepard shoots at another "Core" or another "Larva" -____-

Apart from Earth, dark space is one of the few really interesting place left to be explored in Mass Effect - most of the places I wanted to see were seen in Mass Effect 2. I'd be surprised if we didn't go there, I'm just pointing out that the quote has potential to get horribly out of context and people may end up assuming it is 'fact' that we will see the reaper homeworld.

With regards to the OP, I assume that EDI with her anti-reaper algorithm things and stuff gained from certain missions will somehow shut down the reaper's shields - presumably destroying herself in the process - to give civilization a chance. Of course, we'd still need a massive weapon as even without shields they are pretty tough.

A massive space battle with all the galaxy's fleets

+ something emotionally powerful

+ forcing them back to Dark Space and somehow finding a way to keep them there.

I'm hoping to see a straight forward battle of all the different fleets and armies you've allied with combined up against the reapers with their best weaponry and equipment.

The battle would take place in our solar system because thats where all of the reapers are focusing on (because they are pissed off at Earth.) Some of the battle would be above Earth and some of it on Earth.

While I don't want a Deus Ex Machinima I wouldn't mind if there was something that evened the battle a bit, maybe they find another species that can help them or develop some new weaponry or something.

EDIT: Just for those worried people, I really doubt they'll pull a Deus Ex Machinima in Mass Effect (at least not a massive one,) Bioware knows what their fans want in the game and what will make a good story, I have good hopes for ME3.

*SPOILERS*

On second thought, I imagine the Geth could play a massive role in defeating the Reapers. They have been developing independently for hundreds of years, away from the influence of Reaper technology like the relays. And, as someone said in the 'enemies of Mass Effect 2' video released ages ago, the Geth will always be a big part of Mass Effect.

The are organic machines. But still machines. Anyone who has seen the movie Independence Day and what they did to the alien mothership, I think may have a similar effect in the Reapers.

Basically the impregnated a virus into the mothership, that allowed all other ships on Earth and the mini fighter ships to have their force fields shut down.

I don't think we'll destroy all the Reapers, but do sufficient damage to drive them back into dark space.

This whole topic reminds me of how people tryed to predict what happened to Shepard after Bioware showed the death sequence. Nobody ever predicted something like "Floating around in deep space didn't kill Shepard completely and then a terrorist group with ginormous resources comes and puts him/her back together"
It is still ridicolous whenever I think about it but the way it was deivered it sounded believable enough to go along with it. Something similar will probably be the case with the resolution to the Reaper question, allthough I hope it will make more sense than the whole "shepard dies but not really" thing

Can you imagine Reapers running away from organics ? I thik that would just make them very pissed off... There'd be a lot of lunk in just destroying their shields which are imprevious to every weapon except Mass Effect based weapons and probably nukes.

I'd prefer if Shepard forces them back into dark space somehow, even if it's only several of them. It's more interesting (imo anyway) if there's always a chance the Reapers could return to launch another attack, pull some strings from a distance, etc etc. The idea of an "eternal" race being wiped out all in one shot doesn't sit well with me, but if they can think of an awesome way to do it then I wouldn't be opposed.

Wants:

-- I do want to see EPIC space battle && ground battles
-- I do want to have to make tough choices ... even the best possible ending shouldn't be "smurfy"
-- I would not mind Vermire-like choices.

Don't Want:
-- I don't want to win by brute force alone. The Reapers shown pwn the galaxy if it's a brute force type of contest.
-- I don't want teammate deaths or events "forced" on me. I want to make the choice and if someone has to be sacrificed for the greater good then so be it.
-- I don't want a straight-forward ID4 ending either. A virus by itself doesn't seem like a unique enough solution.

Sure, I want an emotionally engageing last segment to the series; and I want to undergo believeable strain in defeating the Reapers...but at the end of the day, I do want to defeat them. Alive! Something can be emotionally engageing and moving without someone actually dying.


This. I want my choices throughout the games to determine the ending (this would practically guarantee me going back and playing ME 1 and 2 multiple times to get different endings). And I want to be able to survive the ordeal. I've put so much time into these games and I could see how dying as a sacrifice would be beautiful, but I want to live. I want to do the impossible.

And then I want to sneak off with my LI and disappear. No more Alliance, no more Cerberus, no more Council. Just us doing what we want. We've earned that, yes? Maybe there would be new games in the Mass Effect universe where your character is trying to find Shepard, or runs into Shepard in some forgotton corner of space. I could dig it.

Considering how the first two games went, we're obviously going to have some main quest in the storyline; I see gathering forces, unfortunately, as a secondary objective/sidequest. I think the main quest in ME3 will likely be finding some weapon/technology that can be used against the Reapers, but not onboard the ship. Since the last two games had an on-foot battle (Saren/Sovereign and the Human/Reaper Larvae), I would figure the final game will have a major, on-foot mission (no doubt on Earth) which will have to do with activating this weapon/technology. I figure the weapon/technology would be something that may not destroy the Reapers, but leave them vulnerable long enough for any remaining Alliance/Council vessels to come in and destroy them.
I do like the fact that any choices we made in ME1 that didn't affect ME2 will have a major impact on the final game. Considering all the information that has to be combined, I'd almost hope for a 3 disc set. Than again, ME2 was a 2 disc, and from what the forums here suggest, is actually shorter in gameplay length than ME1. (Sigh) I'm just crossing my fingers for a long, rich game with a lot of features; and one where no matter what, there's an emotionally gripping ending. As long as they don't do some really cheap ending that has us howling in rage, I can only be glad that they might just make this series work out.

I'd rather we defeat them like how we defeated them ME1 by making sure they don't get here. Given how much trouble a single reaper gave us fighting 100+ just seems silly. But hey I am sure shepard has a mac with a computer virus somewhere so we can't be totally lost.

I dream of a allied fleet composed with alliance, turians and quarians vessels. Massive  combat versus the Reapers with a lots of loss in the organics ranks. During that time salarian STG, asari commando, drell assassins unit trained by the hanar, others, try to approach the reapers and board in, fight their way to the core of the gigantic harvester, install a nuke in the core chamber and get the hell out.

A lots of dead organics. That's not even a fair fight for the organics. But they continue to fight for the sakes of their species.

Maybe spoiler here Turned it grey. If it's not correct, just send me a message and I will edit my post.

If we saved the rachni during ME1 and convinced Mordin to keep the data about the cure for the genophage, you can add two formidable source of soldiers. And if Shepard can go to the yagh homeworld and beat their chief and win the respect of that people, that's another source of more than capable troops. We can also add the geth if you made the corresponding choice in ME2.

If we speak about Shepard action could do, like a lot of people already said he could find some kind of prothean technology that will switch the balance of war, or he could convince Reapers to give up.

Shepard died at the beginning of ME2. Not just a teeny tiny bit. No, he/she was dead. You got spaced, then went trough the planets atmosphere and crash landed on the planet....

Its pretty safe bet to say that you are dead after that.

Probably a mission, were a small elite team infiltrates smth and makes a sacrifice to save the galaxy - lol I HOPE it's not like this. Also I hope its not like - Dear Reaper, we have come in peace, to reason with you, please accept this fruit basket as a sign of goodwill.

Unite the galaxy against a common threat, by going to each race and solving their crappy problems.

Would prefer - Battlestations! All guns fire! pewpewpewpewpepw flaming ships explode everywhere, lasers, rockets, slugs, beams, fighters, frigates, cruisers, dreads, carriers - pure epicness. Ok time to use, the Deathstar guys!
