The Volus, because remember they have the ability to become almighty BIOTIC GODS! No mere reaper can stand up to them.
On a serious note:
It's tough to figure out some of the more gray area conflicts going on. Like, will they make us choose between the Salarians and the krogan, for one? It's been mentioned that by ME3 they are debating the genophage. If there's a debate going on, they know the Krogan are growing stronger, and somebody wants to escalate the genophage to additional baby killing levels.
So conflicts are likely to be between:
Systems Alliance Vs Cerberus-
Cerberus is small but resourceful, so I'm thinking either A. You pull TIM out of power and take over cerberus's resources for the alliance, or B. You regain the trust of the TIM and somehow get a pro-human/pro-TIM person in charge of the systems alliance.
Krogan Vs Salarians-
Do you keep the genophage in effect (maybe even escalating it to new levels)? The krogan would likely still support you, especially if you saved wrex. However, the fight would leave their population so low that they no longer have the numbers to repopulate under the effects of the genophage and go extinct. Or do you reverse the genophage and risk Krogan future aggression and possibly salarian civil war?
Geth Vs Quarian-
There are a few ways for this to play out. The Quarians could use a variation of the virus found during Legion's loyalty mission to render the Geth subservient to the "creators" again. This would retake the Quarian worlds bloodlessly and still give you Geth support. Quarians could retake their planets by force and cause one or both races to be rendered extinct or weakened. You could sabotage the Quarian Liveships, eliminating their food supply, and forcing their loyalty to the geth who could be convinced to produce food for the Quarians. This would essentially make the Quarians a client race to the geth.
Council (And Spectre's) Vs. Terminus Systems-
This is pure speculation but I don't see you gaining the full backing of the council without giving something up in return. I believe the terminus systems and their mercenary support may be available, especially if you warned Aria of the upcoming attempt on her life. However, the council is unlikely to willingly work alongside the scum that have been making their lives miserable for a good amount of time via raids on colonies.
You may be given the option of of backing the terminus systems by weakening the council in some way, or de-activate the relay into the terminus systems in order to make the Council feel secure the scum won't take advantage of them putting their full forces into the reaper fight.
Alternatively- Council Vs Rachni
Council races were at risk of being overwelmed and destroyed as a whole by the original rachni wars.
Along these lines I'd choose:
Systems Alliance (Humans are team players too!)
Quarians (Out of loyalty to tali, who has helped you through two games, instead of one)
Krogan (Salarians hold the line. Krogan break the line in half and shove it down your governments throat)
Council (Because if they didn't owe you enough already for saving them, they will now)
That's just too much for one captain, his crew in a small frigate to accomplish. There would have to be more than a fair amount of cooperation from those factions to pull all of that off.
Retour en haut
