Just see what it took to beat a single Reaper (Sovereign). I highly doubt the Reapers will be defeated with a generic space battle, no matter how epic.

You beat the Reapers, and then Shepard wakes up in a chair in a lab. The entire franchise was a VR simulation and then you hear a voice over an intercom that says 'Training Complete'.



Then, Shepard looks at the camera and gives a thumbs up then the credits start to roll.

go, chuck norris!

After reading Redemption i think Shepard is going to have to become some form of one in order to defeat them but in doing so will die. I would kind of like that because no matter how much i love Shepard, there is nothing quite as tragically beautiful as a dead hero!

Now, mind you, this post is a joke, as this was in a dream I had last night:



ME3's plot surrounds around hunting down the last prothean, who is also a spectre, named Commander Sheep. Once you find him, you realize that the galaxy is f***ed. So instead of defeating the Reapers, you are going to give them the middle finger in one last act of defiance through Commander Sheep's research.

Here's what happens: Commander Shepard and Commander Sheep fuse together to form an ent (ala Dragonball Z style). This is no ordinary ent, though, as this ent can create black holes by punching walls. The black holes that created in these walls are from a super mass effect field from the punch of this mighty ent.

Now, each black hole created leads to a habitable planet in other galaxies in the universe. So, what you have to do, is go Collector-esque, reap up some human colonies, and throw them into the various black holes, to repopulate the human race in other galaxies. Once the human population has regain strength, they come back to help the mighty ent Sheepard, and defeat the Reapers!

Yeah I was kinda inspired by that idea too, as well as Aronofsky's "Fountain" and Desmond Hume's failsafe key and imagined an end like this - although I reckon there'd still be room for an epilogue with a dead or alive shepard

I looked at the other post, loved it, what a great idea, i think all the romance would be made worthwhile if ti kept Shepard sane, i suppose that they should do one where Shepard lives because not everyone wants Shepard to die, but i would be ok if he/she did. Loved the music too what was it?

I want both profound and all out epic battle, at the end of ME2 joker hands shepard what looks like design schematics for a reaper, it will be Shepards job(and his team) to either discover a weakness or create one, this will involve travelling to different worlds to gather more information.



It would be a waste if it just involved brute strength and superior fire power.

[Jonn Lm]

the reapers come and wipe out earth defences, so he rallies the nations of the galaxy and equips their weapons with dark energy (the stuff from haestroms sun). then he sacrifices himself and then wakes up, on the floor, in eden prime, infront of a prothean beacon. he then screams.

Late to the party here but I thought I might chime in.



I would love if the story took a very desperate tone to it where even the epic Shepherd looks lost on what to do. Like earth and many other systems try to make stands but they just get obliterated. Would be pretty awesome in my mind if the devs set a very demoralizing tone in the first part of the game maybe even going as far as almost near extinction for the whole milky way galaxy. Which the current Mass Effect story writers have so far done superbly in my opinion.



Point is, man I can't wait for the joyride!



With all hope lost, one very last stand would be pretty awesome I think. Of course anything has allready been done in movies, books, and games pretty much. So it's all about doing it well that will make any ending to the series enjoyable.

What happens if the attack on earth is nothing more then a diversion to keep Shepard and company busy.With the main reaper force real target being the citadel like they've been trying to do all along.

From the looks of the trailer i think that earth is the diversion and shepard is letting the Reapers concentrate on attacking humanity in order to do a sneaky back door demon way of killing the Reapers. Sacrifice will lead to victory we learnt that in ME1 and possibly ME2 if your characters died!

[MRD13]

Utilizing the Mass Relays as giant cannons would be pretty interesting, perhaps each one that gets used as a weapon can no longer be used for travel? Could make using them a difficult choice.

[Owl-sama]

I'd like to see Shepard construct and pilot a giant mecha, from where he will have a fist fight with the boss reaper.

[Lost Cipher]

Something that doesn't involve another "Super-Mecha Terminator 9000 Human Larva thing" throwaway boss...



I so wish that they would retcon the ME2 ending and have you fight the Collector General instead.

I think I'm going to be unsatisfied with ME3 simply because I feel Bioware have backed themselves into a corner. The Reapers being such a powerful and unstoppable enemy (as shown by Sovereign in ME1 and the derelict Reaper's impenetrable shields in ME2) and only dealing with them in the third act leaves us with a deus ex machina. We spend the entire series trembling in awe at the power of the Reapers, only to have the means of their destruction magically appear.

Sure, there's been vague hints (the beings of light of Klencory, perhaps the Leviathan of Dis) but there's been no concrete indication that even denting a Reaper is possible except under extremely specific circumstances. Sovereign was destroyed because Shepard destroyed the vessel for his consciousness, momentarily distracting and disorientating him enough for those incredible shields to be dropped. This is impossible to recreate on any form of meaningful scale.

As shown by the end of ME2 the Reapers will arrive in horrifying numbers. Realistically we shouldn't be able to win. Bioware have hamstrung themselves here. Consider, this is a series centred around interpersonal combat between individuals, not ships. This means that the Reapers downfall will inevitably come from us, Shepard. This leads to such contrived scenarios as the virus. I'm very interested in how Bioware will overcome this. Pessimistic, but interested.

One thing is certain: the Reapers need to live up to the established standard. Mass Effect 3 needs to be bleak. It needs to be terrifying. There needs to be an ever present mood of despair, otherwise the Reapers totally lose credibility as a threat. Thankfully the trailer seems to confirm this. 9 million dead in a week in (presumably) a single city, when (presumably) the Reapers are only trying to subdue resistance, as we already know they don't actually want to annihilate humanity.

If that mood of constant horrifying power is maintained I'll be happy. But therein lies the paradox: if Bioware continue to portray the Reapers as they have so far, as monstrous nigh unstoppable creatures capable of demolishing entire fleets with a single ship, how can they be defeated meaningfully? We've gone two thirds of the series not knowing how, and then they suddenly, conveniently spring some method upon us?

As I said, I am VERY interested to see if Bioware are capable of pulling it off satisfactorily.

If the reapers have a hive mind , it could be possible that the king/queen/Harbinger doesn't have any weapons or shield protection at all.Having become accustomed to using the others as the protectors , never thinking an enemy would be capable of striking at it while it remained in the void of space.

Destroy it and you stop the whole fleet , who rely on instructions/orders.

Also the reaper base seems like it could backfire , the technology used for it might not have an effect at all against the reaper wave vs finding artifacts that might be the key to taking out the reapers.

[Titan7771]

I like most of the ideas in the original post. I think a massive space battle between the Reapers and the combined fleets of the galaxy is a must, even if it's only a stalling action while Shepard saves the day. I think it may involve finding some ancient weapon to use against the Reapers, an equalizer of sorts. I also agree that the FINAL scene should involve only Shepard, without his team. I have a feeling that the final act of the game will have at least one option where Shepard can choose to die to save either his team, the entire galaxy, or both.

[LOST SPARTANJLC]

Exactly!



As long as it's not play-though two/three times to get every option , I like to have all options at the beginning.
