I always found it odd that shepards paragon choice at the end of mass effect 2 is considered to be the end of his relation to cerberus.
The Illusive man is portrayed as being practical; If shepard where to try to find him and destroy cerberus after he/she is done with the Reapers i think the illusive man will still provide information that he can dig up. Tim would take his chances with paragon shepard, with renegade shepard he wouldn't have any problems.

Akuze scenario: what good would it do if that project would have been a complete success? The thresher maw wouldn't do any damage with spit, which would be of little use if the thing eats you.
Well, at least you could get little comfort in knowing that you'll give that maw one hell of a heartburn.
The Akuze Project was a senseless waste of life.

Paragon shepard would probably seek out and find cerberus bases and destroy everything that is as stupidly evil as the akuze cell and many other cells. Which is most of cerberus i figure. Paragon shepard wont touch any cerberus cell that's doing actual good work for the betterment of humanity and the like. A cell that does research on something without torturing people would probably survive an encounter with shepard.

So, after the Reapers, most of cerberus will be destroyed by shepard.
If the reapers succeed, all of cerberus will be destroyed and humanity along with it. And everything else.

As a very practical man, Tim would be going for the first option. Even if he knew that shepard will find every cerberus base and destroy everything that goes against his/her ethics, some of cerberus will survive this.

That's bad news for tim, but "very little survives" is better then "nothing survives", so he's gonna go with the first option, plus, helping shepard saving the galaxy may earn tim some bonuspoints in shepards eyes.



The Illusive man will probably continue what he did in me2, without change for the most part. He'd provide info, maybe dossiers and stuff.
Tim may try to destroy the normandy when he is absolutely sure that there are no reapers left and shepard will be of absolutely no use for the advancement of humanity.
I think tim would shepard live if he ever had the opportunity to kill him, if he thinks that shepard would be more useful for the advancement of humanity then the continued existence of the cerberus cells shepard would wnat to destroy.


So, very little would have to be changed. Tim could (and would) still provide info, maybe along with the council, the alliance and maybe others to help end the reaper threat.

I wouldn't put it past TIM to give shepard side missions in which he actually kills off cerberus cells that don't produce viable results and have proven to be stupidly evil.

Actually, i wouldn't put it past TIM to discover a set of morals; If it helps advance humanity, tim will use ethics.
And that point wouldn't be far off in any sane world, the biggest thing humanity has to deal with is the perception of many People that humanity is a bunch of hotheaded space bullies. Cerberus' image doesn't help much.

So, if shepard goes off to destroy all the "bad" Parts of cerberus TIM could even go for that. It's better then being whiped out completely by the reapers anyway and after that, he could start anew and polish the image of a new cerberus organization that isn't evil and stupid.
This would be functional because it helps improve the image of humanity and it would make diplomatic relations much easier.




So i don't really see why Shepards paragon actions at the end of the game would do any difference. Shepard doesn't like what cerberus is doing, we all knew that already. TIM is a "ends justify the means" kinda guy, i wasn't really surprised to find that out.
ME3 could start on board the normandy SR2 like ME2 continues after the ending cutscene. You are aboard a fully functional normandy, flying around in space.

If ME3 starts like that, it would be like nothing happened. Between Shepard and cerberus, nothing did happen.
