There needs to be a plan other than gather a bunch of ships together. What comes after that? And there needs to be definitive evidence that the forces can, will, and do make a difference. Which means the allied fleets need to be winning battles against the Reapers throughout the story.

Tuchanka, Palavan, Kahje, Rannoch, Sur'Kesh, just to name a few I plan on writing about.

About making a difference, I don't really feel like that needs to be entirely shown. Is there really a choice in the matter? Its not like there is anyother method to taking down the Reapers.

As I said, its not fully fleshed out yet. I'd rather figure out how I want to go about certain things before I cement bricks in place to build towards it.

It's going to feel cheap to have the allied fleets and soldiers take down the Reapers if you don't show them at least somewhat effective beforehand. You also need to leverage every factor you have to give a plausible reason why this cycle is successful while the others failed. Morale is one of those factors; I wouldn't throw it away. There's also a lot of Reapers throughout the galaxy, and they aren't all going to be destroyed in a single battle. Putting down Reapers throughout the story helps thin the numbers.

This Cycle is different because the Reapers aren't wiping the government out first and then closing the Relays.

They invade through the Citadel Relay (Cerberus Coup), but Shepard is able to save the Council (only because they survived the first time around, other wise the replacements would have died in the coup) and also able to keep the Citadel from being able to shut down the Relays (Need to figure this one out more).

Omega takes over a HUB from then on.

Its not all wins, but we've got a susbtantial foot in the door.

You can't have all the Reapers being killed in one battle.

[LanceSolous13]

I know. I never said otherwise.

@LanceSolous:
There needs to be something that affects Reapers like Sovereign was by his avatar's destruction, taking down their shields. *Then* the fleets can do the rest. But you'll still need some device that can deliver such an effect. Elyvern and I have outlined such a scenario long before ME3 came out, you can find it in my old thread The end of the Reaper War - a believable scenario. It uses history and lore from the games to win, but it still needs a device that can weaken the Reapers. A victory only with epic space battles is a delusion, given all the evidence we have.

Nearing the end of my ME2 replay with my main Shepard. Looking forward to trying something new in ME3...

LOL, how TIM responds to people being killed on the SM, it's almost like I hear Javik's CO talking in the background: "Their sacrifice will be honored in the coming empire."

No, no. I grant the bonus power: "You're overthinking it!," which causes enemies to take an extra thirty seconds to decide where to shoot.

Ieldra grants the bonus power: "That's OOC!," which negates the last enemy action because it was clearly out of character.

o Ventus grants "Unnecessary Belligerence," which turns neutral bystanders into members of the enemy faction at regular intervals. Great for players who like a challenge.

But I do think "Disarming Courtesy" would be appropriate for you [smilie]http://social.bioware.com/images/forum/emoticons/tongue.png[/smilie]

Haha. Love it.

MEfan grants "Supreme aggro" and draws all ire towards himself.

We'd make a great team.

Those films are the beginning of the "The Man With No Name" stories. They are easy to find. You should try one sometime.

Technically, Hammett's Red Harvest was the very beginning of such stories.

Man, some of these… Qualifications for playing Miranda in the movie: lady with dark hair or the ability to wear a wig.

No to the general idea of a Mass Effect film.

But, forbid it please, one is ever made, Yvonne is the only choice. Period. Bar none.

Yeah the idea of taking something interactive like ME and creating a cheap and nasty film version of it doesn't appeal to me at all.

I really doubt i'd ever watch a film version. Obviously Yvonne would be a good starting point, but i'd be more worried about the quality/nature of any Miranda content.

All the way until the (at least) 2000 Reaper capital ships show up, escorted by…let’s say 2–5 destroyers each.

That’ll take a lot of convention.

How about just getting Yvonne Strahovski to play Miranda?

Anybody?

I doubt she would want that.

You may be right. If she gets content like she did in ME3, I wouldn't want to do it either.

It's not just that. Yvonne doesn't seem to have enjoyed Miranda as a character, I've seen her acting all proud of a lot of her work before, but never about Mass Effect. She'll likely stay away from the project, if she was even asked to replay the role that is.

[Skullheart]

Even if a Mass Effect movie will be horrible, Miranda deserves a better actress than strahoskiv. At least she needs someone who enjoys the role.

Really? Well, I didn't know that. That's most unfortunate.

I still think that if she were offered, and the role were big enough, that she'd consider and accept.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. This goes for DLC, movies; I don't care.

No Yvonne = No Miranda. Yvonne is absolutely vital to Miranda Lawson. I'd rather them no do anything at all than try and pull some shifty on us **** with her.

The fact that she didn't talk a lot about her role as Miranda doesn't mean she didn't like it.
She doesn't talk about everything she does. And you can't ask someone to be as involved in a character you play on a show during 5 years, and a video game character you only voiced twice.

And yes I agree, I can't see anyone else playing Miranda in a Mass Effect movie.

If Ms. Strahovski isn't really interested in Miranda...that's a bad omen; most of all, for inclusion of Miranda in ME3 DLC's.

It's just a speculation. Nobody knows what she thinks about it.
