Most of my sheps were either raised in space or on Mindoir, so they aren't to attached to it. But seeing as it is the planet of origin of Humanity they are as attached to it as anyone is to their home town so to speak.

I can't believe the people saying they have no attachment to Earth. You are Shepard! You live in Earth, always have and always will. You don't care if it's destroyed? That logic is backwards. Forget what the OP put as a title. What do *YOU* think of Earth's peril?

pfffff, Earth? Mars is where it's at.

I have special plans for that one.... remember this post, or better even, save it and in a few years (maybe 5) you'll see what Im talking about.

Saved.

Sriously? Well, don't delete it, If you have a good memory remember the name Alexander too. You'll go "Oh sh*t!" when you unite these two things when you see what Im making.

Depends on how much danger Earth is in and what else is on the table at the time. If saving Earth means losing the Citadel and thus control of the relay network, for instance, then I'd seriously consider sacrificing Earth.

Now I think losing Earth could cause problems because we've never been big on cooperation as a species and I can just see the colonies fracturing apart and getting picked off one by one without a central authority and their guns.  Hmm I suppose that would fall into one of my two principles so I guess my Shep would sacrifice himself for Earth.

The Alliance capitol is the Arcturus Station. As long as it's safe, the Alliance will thrive on.

The reapers have to pass through Arcturus to get to Earth. They're smoked by the time the VGA trailer takes place. Sorry to burst you're bubble.

The Reapers don't need the mass relays to travel. Otherwise they could not put the mass relays all over the Galaxy. So no, I'm pretty sure the Big Ben Sniper knew what he was talking about when he said he didn't have an idea "where they came from". For all we know, the Reapers can drop out of FTL right above London.

According to Mass Effect Wiki, Arcturus has a population of about 45,000.  While it's a vital post as it's HQ for the Alliance Fleet and houses the Alliance govt, it takes more than that to sustain a species.  Earth has 11+ billion.  Losing Earth but holding Arcturus is roughly equivalent to losing every city and town in the U.S. except for Washington D.C. but expecting the U.S. to "thrive on" in the aftermath.  It just doesn't seem viable for humanity if Earth and all its people are lost.  Would humanity go on?  Sure.  Would it thrive as it once did?  Not by a long shot, or at least not for a very long time.

It's true what they said. You're logic makes no sense.

Still, lacking legitimate central authority the military would fracture just as the colonies would; soldiers would resign to defend their homes, brass would splinter over disagreements of direction leading to the formation of space-faring war bands.

Also as someone pointed out the Reapers have to go through Arcturus to get to Earth, she's toast.

OK, I'll agree with you on that.  When the Collector base is being destroyed, Harbinger says, "We'll find another way.".  The Reapers very well might access to other Relays or some other method of travel that Shepard (likely the foremost expert on Reapers at this point in the game) doesn't know about.

[Encarmine]

I definatly think were going to have a situation where multiple races are under attack at the same time.

The Trailer is Titled Earth, making me think we'll also get trailers titled by the homeworlds of the Asari, Turian, Salarians and Krogen etc also being attacked by the Reapers. The ultimate decisions will need to be made by Shepard on which species he goes to try and help.

If Bioware are truely awesom, they will make it so there is no way you can complete the game saving all of them, having at least 1/2 get destroyed as a direct result of you going somwhere else.



In that situation, my canon Shep will probly save earth, as he grew up on it. My spacer shep may feel more attached to Tuchanka to help Wrex for eg.

Nobody needs the Mass Relays to travel, standard FTL engines could get you from Sol to Widow eventually it's just a matter of how much time.  The Reapers could afford to take the slow route from system to system and cluster to cluster, it just isn't as fast as the Relays.  As for not knowing where they came from I suspect that means their actually origin not just them popping into existence over Earth.  So I don't see it as a "How did they get here?" question but a "Where did they come from?"  Admittedly we don't have much to go on so your guess is as good as mine.

Most of my Shepards are spacers or colonists and a few earth born , but all of them will save humanity's birth place

This post is so wrong in so many levels. Fuel is used to travel in FTL. You'll run out of "diesel" before you're halfway to that cluster. Even if fuel was not an issue, it would take years in FTL to reach it. Possible from 20 to 50.

Earth is expendable if necessary, even though my Shepard is earthborn.

[Lewie]

Shepard fighting on earth seems really wierd, regardless of background (we) have lived in space. The default ME2 experience is the council gone so the questions begs, what happens either way.

Also, reminds me of the guy outside flux who asks you to get a stimulant, you tell him to get help and say 'Is this what im fighting for?!' Earth is a strange place in the mass effect world.

Regardless, 2 Shepards all the way, full paragon save everyone, and full renegade kill all i can. See what unfolds.

the Earthborn variation of my Canon's will be pissed, the spacer variations will still be pissed, but only in a sense that it'd hurt humanities galactic image if they can't defend their homeworld.

Fuel is a non-issue if the power source is a hydrogen/helium fussion Reactor. Replenishment can be achieved en-route as those are the two most abundent elements in the galaxy. We do not not the actuall propulsion technology the Reapers utilze either, only the ones we use. Most civilian vessles utilize high-efficiency, low output ionic and nuclear engines, where warships are equiped with low-efficency, high performance engines.

[Pwner1323]

We're headed into the biggest galactic war in the history of ever and you people care about galactic image? really!?



I care about saving Earth in the name of Honor!

[jbblue05]

My main Shepard is a Spacer but I'm definently going to save the homeworld.

Humanity will not become like the Quarians getting their asses kicked off their homeworld by AI's

I'll do my best to save Earth, but I won't do it "at all costs" (my renegades/renegons might). I have earthborns, spacers, and colonists. All of them will want to defend Earth--especially my earthborn. However, most agree that we need other species to cooperate with us and we need to fight the reapers smartly in order to win. Very few will rush in and save Earth.

I wonder if ME3 will have an update system that shows for every mission we delay coming to Earth, how many humans/aliens we are sacrificing. I.E.-the longer the mission, the more humans are reaper-chow; combine too many long missions and Earthlings are only a memory. I'm not sure I like this idea (sounds kinda like Fable 3's fund-raising endgame). Also, I'm an idealist... I want there to be a way to get through ME3 perfectly with minimal casualties (not that I want that to be the only end).

I really don't want to choose between Earth and everyone else. Darn reapers.

John Shepard (Colonist/Ruthless) - Being a refugee from Mindoir, John Shepard has no personal attachment to humanity's home. For him home is the ship he commands and the crew aboard it. Nevertheless, should the call come to defend the Mother Planet, he'll answer without hesitation. He considers himself a Soldier of humanity first and foremost before being a Council Spectre.

Laura Shepard (Spacer/War Hero) - Despite being born in space, Laura Shepard has alawys had a deep affection for Earth. Mostly because of her extended family (via her father), who live in one of the more well to do cities. If they or the whole planet were threatened, she'd come to their aid without hesitation.
