Well personnaly, I think it'll be a massive space battle where most of the reapers will die. The remainder will flee into dark space. Then, if Shephard survives, he will probably go to hunt them down, just like Revan did with the sith, leaving everything behind... that way we can have ME 4!

I still see this series having a very "Independence Day" ending.



Way it will end:



Shepard and crew fight inside Harbinger. Learn about origin of Reapers and other interesting things (This is what I'm actually interested in learning. Better be in the game). Fight and kill whatever is inside. Load some kind of virus and it "weakens" the other Reapers.



Massive space battle where every other race takes out the remaining, weakened Reapers. The casualties and how well everyone does depends on things you did in the other games.



It's a fairly generic ending...but if done well, I wouldn't be upset with that.

@Grumpy-Mcfart - as vague as that sounds, I basically agree.

 intentionally left that vague because I believe bioware will come up with something more epic than any of us can possibly imagine.

- Take out one Reaper with heavy losses.



- Find some Prothean gizmo along with Alliance/Cerberus techies making a breakthrough on resisting indoctrination.



- Gather up some very specific allies to replenish losses.



- Engage and board an isolated Reaper with the end result being that you command one via EDI. Yep that's right, Shepard flies an actual Reaper.



- Deploy Prothean/Alliance/Cerberus gizmo to reroute the entire Reaper fleet into a supernova. Self-sacrifice optional given how you've played your hand over the 3 games.

I mean, I think it's a given there will at least be an epic space battle - but I'm hoping the key to winning will be a mission Shepard and his/her team has to undertake to do something special. And by special I don't mean kill a boss, but something much more interesting or meaningful than that... Something emotionally powerful? Spiritual? Philosophically thought provoking? I really don't know - I just hope the writers do something really cool there in the literary* sense, and it at least involves a lot of revelations about the Reapers.

*note I said literary, not literally

I agree, a final boss battle will be cheesy as. The Reapers are a far more powerful threat than to just be resolved with a "boss fight at the end".

I hope there will be no boss fight, but victory will be decided on the way you've played the 3 games, so it actually makes it feel all part of the same story.. There could be an epic space battle, no doubt Shepard & co will board a Reaper.. something will happen that ISN'T a boss fight (think Collector Base but without the boss fight at the end). Final scene could be due to your actions through the trilogy...>>

Then we can sit back & watch a good 10 minutes of kick ass cut scenes as the Reapers either overcome the joint galactic fleets or they get some of their own back.

As I said before, I do hope even on the 100% everything done right playthrough that the Reapers aren't fully annihilated. They are by far the most bad ass threat to everything that exists, & you wouldn't be able to replace them with something equally terrifying for future ME content.

Shep convinces the Reapers to leave the galaxy using invisible thread. 

Seriously, I'd like Shep's vision to come back into play somehow.  Other than that, I like Awsomename's idea.

I think maybe it may have something to do with a Mass Effect filed being created and possibly a black hole sucking the the reaper fleet in. Maybe a Gate is changed and redirected to a sun otherwise it seems impossible because we saw what one reaper ship in the first game could do. I am sure a few reapers will have to be fought directly like in ME1 but I am guessing they are tricked or deceived in some way at the end probably by a choice that may or may not lead to several endings with little, most, part, or all of the galaxy nearly destroyed in the ensuing battle!

@ AwesomeName



I love your idea for the ending. Soul shaking revelations, exploration and the deathblow in dark space.



I think, too, that we are in direct agreement that the Reapers cannot be decharacterized...I am hoping to see them lay some massive, shockingly devastating blows to Milky Way's organic life.

[kmcd5722]

To be honest, no one stands a chance. I have no idea how an epic space fight would be fair, as evidenced by Sovereign in ME1.

It tore the sh*t out of the Alliance Fleet, not to mention the Citadel forces. That was just one Reaper. I'm not quite sure how BioWare is going to pull off this ending in ME3, but I think they are aware (or at least, SHOULD be, if they say they really read these forums), that no one wants an ending even close to Independence Day. I believe it will involve a serious choice of sacrifice to make the ending work, i.e. turn earth into a black hole (via red matter if you know the reference), something along those lines, as simply a Reaper vs. Everyone fight will end in slaughter.  Or some part of dark energy, and utilizing Thanix cannons.

using the best damned weapon we have....... chuck norris



naa but i think it has something to do with thing thali found on the sun on.... haestrom i think

if i recall correctly the core of the star was aging rapidly losing its power, I think is the same concept take out the mass effect core with whatever thing that made the star like that, and the galaxy races fleets finish them .

[sympathy4saren]

I don't see where there is a space battle with Reapers and the Reapers don't completely own. Because...let's face it...the Reapers would completely own going face to face. Could you imagine a hundred Sovereign's...a mere hundred for this example...fighting face to face with organic life? What if there were thousands of Reapers? Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands, or...millions? Add in heretic Geth and the Indoctrinated. They would obliterate. Completely and thoroughly.

I gave Cerberus Reaper tech...maybe a variable for me is they can hit them hard. In my story, that'd be legitimate. If they utilized Reaper tech, knocking some off wouldn't be too far fetched.

I just hope my tech gift don't Indoctrinate Cerberus. I'm Paragon using any means necessary to beat the Reapers. We need ALL the help we can get, I theorized....

For me, the story seems too easy, easy victory.
And I would like that this feeling was gone. That the most probable final of the Mass Effect - a defeat. Just think, Reapers amassed forces for millions of years and we will destroy them, seriously?
I'm believe only a miracle will help, because even the united fleet of all races will not be able to win, only a miracle. Are you wondering what exactly? Please, read this topic.

@AwesomeName
This topic opens up a whole new vision of the Reapers.

No "Independence Day" ending.

You woud think that Hyper Advanced race of sentient machines woud have some kind of Hyper Advanced Anti-virus program ?

[TheDarklite]

I think in the end the citadel itself will probably turn out to be some epic reaper-defeating weapon, or at least play a part.

Just to add to this, I'd like the last part of the final team mission to only involve Shepard... and for it to be a deeply personal, harrowing and progressingly epic experience.  I keep thinking of the end of "the Fountain" (and if you haven't seen this film, for god's sake, please watch it) - if the last part of the mission was as emotionally breath taking as that I'd probably be very happy.

I have seen it and and I agree completely.  Anyway you could get on the writing team? 

[s0meguy6665]

All of the above, hell yeah

I want to see an epic moment where I, the player, face off the reaper somehow.

Please, no cliche boss battle just for the sake of having one.

I do agree though that I'd rather we not win with just a space battle - I think that should be a backdrop to the final part of the game and their purpose should be to keep the Reaper fleet busy, while Shepard embarks on his/her own mission.

This is what I've always imagined it to play out. I think that would be best, to be honest. If we end up winning with a space battle, then it would be too cliche - no matter how epic. Shepard must do something that makes her Shepard; something no one else can. That's what would really make things shine for me.

*I'm estimating around 270,000 cycles if the universe is about 13.5 billion years old?  Imagine the number of reapers there!

This, however, makes two assumptions: a) the Reapers are as old as the Universe and complex life appeared and achieved space-faring status 13.5 billion years ago in the Milky Way, for which reason I'd expect the number of cycles to be less than that.
