Tali can have a baby by Shepard...  


Everything else I can stomach (I think).

Yes sir I agree. I love Tali but her and shep having kids is impossable. Also Garrus, Miranda, and Thane are all out too. No to biological familes with these four only adoptions will do.

Oh and did I mention the return of terminator baby would so make me return the game?

Shepard rebuilt with Reaper parts so that they can control him.

Actually I wouldn't mind this EDI was built with reaper parts so why let good tech go to waste and not stick it in your cyborg Frankenstein? After she told me this I auto assumed they used the same tech to rebuild both Shep and her. 

I wouldn't mind a possessed Shep so long as either Shep or more likely Tali figure out a way to get him back but the possibility of repossession would always be sense the reapers could always take the time to figure out the new algorithms she'd most likely configure to keep a jamming on his internal reaper parts.

EDIT:

Darn it now I'm just going to make a list from all other posters I agree with:
Shephard with a small team infiltrate the main reaper/reaper base and battle an avatar of the reapers to save the galaxy.
Shephard dies...again...
Team mates die at the beginning of the game - Garus, Tali, Grunt, Thane etc. - Agreed but Thane's dying so that would be plausible.
EDI goes rogue, and leaves the story until the end, where she comes back with a bunch of Reapers under her control to help in the fight against the bad Reapers. - yes agree this would be dumb if she's rouge, she's rouge and I have to destroy her Gladous style.
Protheans survived on the citadel in cryo, and help turn the Citadel into a giant battle station to fight the Reapers - WIN for the stupidity things BW could do!
On Earth, Conrad Verner (forgot spelling) pushes Shepard out of the way, sacrificing himself to save Shepard from being squished by a Reaper. Best surprise EVAR!!! - though I'd die laughing rather then feel sorry. Then I'd throw a party because my stalker's dead. BW make it so.
Samara sacrifices herself to save Shepard in an early attack (must be very emotional and unexpected). This is to make space for Liara to join. - Yes this would suck I like Samara and Liara is important enough as SB she doesn't need to be on my squad
A new one for me to add: Tim joins you on your ship along with Anderson!
The reapers actually lose. Come on now. - Wait, what? We're actually suppose to loose? What!? I support reapers loosing.
Reapers using time travel - Or anyone using time travel!
TIM, and Cerberus, with its crew of 100-150 operatives creating reapers and being a serious threat to the entire galaxy, like many seen to think will happen if you give the Collector base to Cerberus. - Yes even 5 years out he can't feasibly do it. Just like 5yrs out the Krogan wouldn't be able to repopulate fast enough to send them all to war.
An Add: The genophage is cured and the Krogans repopulate so fast they've got a billion man power ready to go by the end of year 1. Genophage cure is great but honestly they can't repopulate that fast!

Shepard turns into a Super Reaper and SavesTheDay.

Ah yes, Super Reapers. The immortal race of sentient starships and infrequent forum posters allegedly waiting in dark space. We have dismissed that claim.



Edit: Bringing back dead characters like the one who died on Virmire or the Protheans somehow coming back to fight in the final battle. Reversing indoctrination would be a terrible plot twist, I think.

I've read a few posts about marriage and kids. Please. This isn't a Harlequin novel. Shepard, even as Paragon, just doesn't seem like the marrying kind, or the maternal/paternal type. I'm all for romance, but that would make a horribly cliché ending.

[Telemachus78]

A scene that shows Shepard standing on top of a dead Harbinger holding an Alliance Flag then across the screen it reads "Simulation Complete"
Then shows Harbinger sitting in an simulation chair and in comes another Reaper.
Reaper: Hey we just got a... What are you doing?
Harbinger: You recall me complaining about those Organics?
Reaper: Yeah
Harbinger: Well I ran a simulation on how returning to the galaxy and wipe them out would play out.
Reaper: How did it go?
Harbinger: Not Well... It appears I am not ready to kill all organic life... Yet
Reaper: What if some would play out that simulation just to find out that it didn't really happen?
Harbinger: Well hopefully they enjoyed the ride.
Reaper: I don't know man I think you'd ****** a lot of people off.
Harbinger: Well at least it didn't end like the sapranos where it just cut to black in mid sent...

Since the Reapers travel by mass relay, humanity just all go hide in a system with no mass relay until the Reapers all go back to where they come from.

Shepard wins through the power of love, a power which the Reapers do not possess!!!

That was pretty much the ending to Endymion, sequel to one of the greatest Sci-fi books ever. If you read Hyperion and Fall of Hyperion, stop there.


My worst one, apart from that? If a character appears to be dead, but wasn't really. If you ask me, a good writer can create a clever way to bring someone back, but a great writer won't use it.

[Inquisitor Recon]

The person left on Virmire (Kaidan in my case) is back from the grave, indoctrinated with mad kung-fu skills and the goal of bringing Shepard down.

And in an epic kung-fu battle on an exploding bridge the fate of the galaxy shall be decided.

Actually that is good in a cheesy way. So some sort of lame Shepard has kids sort of thing would make me vomit.

The ultimate motive behind the Reapers' invasion cycle is revealed to be... procreation.

"We must return every 50 millenia so we can turn you into Gray Goo for our reaper-babies."

Wiping out all civilized life in the galaxy damn well better serve a higher purpose than to make nutrient-pastes for synthetic overlords.

[Lapis Lazuli]

Since you're allowed to destroy the Rachni in ME1 and the Geth in ME2, obviously the reapers can be defeated without either. What worries me is if the sheps who saved both end up having them as allies that are essential for the defeat of the reaps, while the other sheps have some kind of cheesy story substitute that allows them to win.

[Moiaussi]

Shepard wakes up on the Normandy of the SR-1. The entirety of ME1 and 2 and most of 3 were just a beacon explosion induced nightmare. Possible save: The final scene is of the Reapers bearing down on Earth.... it wasn't entirely a dream

The Reapers being talked into leaving.

The Reapers being defeated by 'The Power of Love"

The Reapers really have come to save us from TIM.... Really.

Having to sacrifie the Earth to save everyone. I wasn't keen on the gratuitous death of Vulcan in the Star Trek remake either (otherwise that was a GREAT job).

Gratuitous deaths and/or a tragic angst ridden ending just because it is considered more 'dramatic' or 'real.' I am expecting that all races will lose large chunks of population, but if the war is too one sided then winning ends up being more hokey.

As for the Mirgant Fleet, they do have functional warships. They are mostly civilian though so they shouldn't be a deciding force alone. As for how they avoided the Batarians (or anyone else), by running. That is the whole point of being migrant. Too many think of space as a place you can intercept people and force them to stop. Re-read the codex.

We finally see Tali's face and shes actually a rachni

Shepard was dreaming in an airplane all along. Then goes to make a book about it and makes billions.

Nah, dude. Shepard is stuck in Turian Councilor's dream and the Reapers are simply the councilor's projections trying to prevent Shepard from performing an inception on him. Hence the reason why he keeps "dismissing" the Reapers.

Shepard actually turns out to be the imaginary friend of the Turian Councellor's autistic child.

Bob Newhart wakes up next to Andy Newman and tells him about this dream he had about a Family Guy episode in which Peter was playing some game called 'Mass Effect.' Then he asks Andy what he is doing in his bed and where's Emily.

The Reapers are defeated by exploding Scottsmen (here comes another one!)..... with or without using the 'Shinning"

Shepard defeats the reapers by arming himself with a board with a nail in it.

Shepard tricks the head Reaper into saying its name backwards.

Shepard removes the thorn from the head Reaper's tentacle and it calms down. Then the fleets kill it before it can react.

I would laugh my ass off if Timmy turned out to be a Reaper avatar.

Except that is what is happening. That's the only reason to wait every 50M years until civilization gets big, bad, advanced, and diverse enough to make a new Reaper. The crap about destiny and salvation that Harbinger whines about during every battle is a race's future as a Reaper. That humans, asari, turians, etc. are all ready to go is just a bonus.

That TIM is probably indoctrinated and watching Shepard, (hi there, TIM in the final battle) already ruins it for me. Here I was thinking, silly me, that a character could be interesting and evil (lawful, mind you) without being cliche.

Spending the whole time doing a duck and cover on Earth.

Needing to go out and find a whole new crew. However, trying to resurrect everyone who is already dead isn't going to be awesome, either.

Any sort of Deus Ex Machina is going to suck. That said, we're all Reaper food if we don't get some DEM.

[Ieldra]

Here's my list:

(1) Miranda having some sort of "miracle child" by Shepard (the dreaded "cured by Shepard's super sperm" scenario). I want the prospect of biological children for Miranda at the end of ME3, but it should be made possible by advanced technology - either reversing her condition or creating them the same way she was made.

(2) We win just by throwing enough ships at the Reapers. There is no reason given why it is suddenly possible to defeat them that way.

(3) Whoever died on Virmire returning to life.

(4) The whole Reaper scenario being about nothing more than Reaper reproduction. We already know it is a part of things, but it would be a huge letdown if there wasn't more to them.

I also agree with Moiaussi's scenarios abovethread being puke-worthy.

Edit:
And of course this one: whoever's the final boss in ME3 - if there is one - or any other Reaper avatar talking like Harbinger.

Maybe just wishful thinking on my part, but I have to hope there's more to it than just harvesting for new Reapers. As a useful byproduct? Sure, I'll buy that. But as their sole driving purpose? Hard to swallow, and will taste of bile if I must choke it down. I don't want to derail the whole thread into a discussion on Reaper motives and origins though, there's plenty of other threads for that.

[Bourne Endeavor]

- Any plotline pertaining to a "you're screwed if" scenario. For example, if you gave the Rachni Queen an acid bath. You lose.

- An virtually nonexistent deus ex machina abruptly popping up and crippling the Reapers as your de facto "Win button." Think Mordin pulling the Seeker out of his ass for comparison sake.

- Shepard dying at any moment throughout the duration.

- Garrus and/or Samara rally their respective species. Given there is no indication whatsoever this would be probable. It would be immediately contrived and inconsistent.

- TIM as a Reaper, although it may be possible. If BioWare could accomplish this effectively. I will amass a new found respect. Unfortunately, I am not blind by optimism.

The plan of the reapers has one flaw. They can calculate all races to evolve in their farm universe as planned before they reap them, except for one "anomaly". But they can control in whom this anomaly manifests so they planted the seed of this anomaly during the last reaping. Shepard is really the fifth manifestation of Shepard and if he agrees to leading a small portion of chosen survivors of a few selected species, those will be spared...
