The only big question I want to have to answer at the end of ME3:

What brand of beer to crack open.

[twisty77]

What would be really cool would be if after the game ends, whatever the ending is, Shepherd wakes up suddenly and his wife says "It's ok honey. It was just a bad dream".



That would be great/funny/sad at the same time.

I would uninstall every mass effect game from my system and boycot bioware for life if this happens.

Edit: Unless, of course, Conrad Verner is the one telling Shepard it was just a bad dream. That would be epicly funny.

Definite: Self Sacrifice or sacrifice someone else.



Probably: United Races alliance or Human dominance.



Not likely: Choose to side with the Reapers for some as yet unknown reason.



Even less chance than previous : Shepard admits feelings for Joker and Joker enjoys death by snoo snoo.

[AkiKishi]

Don't think it matters. If they are planning on carrying on the franchise then whichever one sets up for a better setting in future games.



In ME3 they need to just make a clean break and then do further ME's with none of the associated bagage and redundancy that you get from importing saves. And the expectations that go with that.



But just to address the topic.



Renegade Shepard would likely sacrifice a bunch of people to destroy the Reapers. Maybe just blowing them up while everyone is inside.

Paragon would probably save those people then destroy the Reapers maybe killing himself in the process.



Either way you need a fixed point for the next game to continue from if there is one.

[ZeroDotZero]

I doubt there will be one. I think it will end in a set way based on the choices you made in the running up to the final 2 hours.

[The Unfallen]

ZeroDotZero I would rage-spam the forums if that happened. It will most likely come down to a united galaxy or human dominance choice, or at least I am hoping.



I also want a damn good final boss too, nothing like ME1 which sucked.

[Wurf]

 Am I the only one hoping that the final choice won't involve galactic stability vs. human dominance? I liked the renegade options in ME2 way better than those in ME1 precisely because they were more...equal-opportunity, so to speak, and I hope they stay that way in ME3.

The earth will survive imo. The flavour of the ending will depend on whether its a renegade ending or paragon ending.

The other races will be poised to come in and defeat the reapers. If shepard was renegade, their fleets will hold back, willing to sacrifice the earth, to wait for the perfect time to engage the reapers. If paragon, then they will come in earlier, willing to sacrifice their fleets to save the earth.

Of course, renegade shepard means that earth has other resources at their command. A human council means earth will have a strong fleet. It means that Cerberus brings in resources made available from the collector base.

So earth will be saved either way but at the end, earth is either standing strong but alone or strong but fully part of a galactic community.

Whatever, that actually seems pretty close to what I was thinking. Of course since I am Paragon, my Shepard is going to usher in a new era of Humans not so egocentric and more willing to cooperate with the Galactic Community. Groups like Cerberus and Terra Firma will fade or disappear altogether.

[LorDC]

Looking at ME 1&2 choices that are pretty much humanity vs. galaxy I believe that ME 3 will have something along those lines.

I don't think it will be human dominance. I think it will be human isolation. To geek it up in Star Trek terms, instead of humanity being part of the Federation, it will be the Klingon Empire.

If the aliens hold back, anti-alien sentiment will completely dominate human affairs. Terra Firma will get 90% of the vote.

If the aliens save earth, humanity will by humbled and grateful, like the council after ME1, and terra firma and Cerberus will see their support almost totally disappear. Without political power, their shell corporations will be exposed and dismantled. They will be left an isolated, penniless fringe group who can do no more than write angry letters on internet forums.

[StarGateGod]

save earth or save the aliens, all the aliens

[Wurf]

 Just a thought, but since humanity has already branched out into the galaxy and colonized several planets, I doubt losing Earth would be the end of anything.

The majority are still on Earth it's going to lead to there being a lot less humans around. Most likely outcome is either they give up on Earth (unlikely) or a lot of the colonies come back and Earth becomes more insular.



I think it depends on whether or not there will be more ME games. If there are it would make sense to have a common starting point. Because it will more than likely be on the next console cycle it will probably be a totally fresh start with no download data.

[Aedan_Cousland]

The big decision in ME3 could be whether Shepard lives or dies. Maybe at the end someone has to go down with the ship so to speak, and you decide whether you let one of your squadmates (or maybe Anderson?) do it while you escape, or you sacrifice yourself to get your surviving crew out.

Shep is going to end up 50,000 years in the past. He will have the choice of stopping the Reapers once and for all while saving the Protheans--which of course means that the reality that he comes from will never come to pass-- Or he can chose to let the Protheans be annihilated while doing something much more fool-proof than Dr. Ksad Ishan did with Vigil, in order to save the people in the time that he comes from.

I think that between Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis, I've seen this played out like a half dozen times.  Never again.  The only thing worse would be if a Shepard from five years in the future or a parallel universe appeared and regurgitated about two hours of exposition before finally explaining exactly how to beat the Reapers in a manner that totally defies all storytelling logic.

I'm expecting something kind of like the climactic events of Dragon Age Awakening.  Shepard will have the choice of sending out fleets to defend one of two planets, and will have to live with the consequences.  Meanwhile he'll break into some...Reaper headquarters (that weird tomb on Shanxi in the new comic maybe) with the magical anti-Reaper doomsday device.  Qeue climactic boss fight, and Shepard either going out in a blaze of glory or being rescued at the last minute by the rest of his squad.

well im pretty sure like 90% (estimite) of humanitys poupulation is on earth so it would likely be the start of the end of the humanity.

Human colonies to date are still very small. If we lose Earth the human race is screwed. We'll become parasites like the Quarians or a politely-phrased slave race like the Drell or walking jokes like the Vorcha.

We will be forever reduced to staffing massage parlors, scrubbing toilets and making Turian Hilfiger t-shirts for 10 cents a day.

This. A thousand times this is what happens if Earth is lost.

It's going to come down to the decisions made in ME 1 & 2. Paragons get everyone to pitch in all they can to take on the Reapers, the ruthless Renegades have put more resources at Earth's disposal, minus the galactic kumbaya vibe. 

[Nadiah]

Shepard will realize that humanity was a genetic experiment set in motion on Earth eons ago by the reapers themselves. Their hope was to create a species which could embody their 'god ancestor' which was responsible for implementing their cycle of utilizing mass relays to lure species into their trap. This was temporarily halted by Shepard's efforts in ME2 when the embryo was destroied. Now Shepard must choose to allow the reapers to harvest all the remaining humans required to create a new human reaper, leaving the humans to the fate of the protheans but also ensuring that humanity is preserved in some way for eternity, OR deny the reapers (since Mordin has a way to counter act the collectors) and threaten Soverign's fate to any reaper that tries even though it will likely mean most humans will die in the ensuing battles.

[RAF1940]

Def. brand of beer XD

[RAF1940]

On a serious note: I'd say humanity or galaxy.





But, which is Paragon and which is Renegade?

[The Unfallen]

Paragon - Galaxy

Renegade - Humanity

[Volus Warlord]

Volus Domination.

[Sajuro]

It will involve Shepard killing themselves probably as the Reapers try to exert their last bit of control of him.
