I don't believe that by choosing H-EMS refuse (should the option be available) is "dooming" anyone. I think its showing faith that we can win this war on our own, which we seem to be doing a hell-of-a job without the crucible.
I disagree. Shepard knows the Reapers will win. There is not a shadow of a doubt—especially with the bulk of the fleets being decimated just outside the window.
Edit: just to clarify, if you want to headcanon something else, that’s cool. It’s just that the game we got—not the game you might have wished for—makes it perfectly clear that the war will be lost, and that everyone knows this to be the case.
We should be able to win, in theory. Bioware won't let us win because art.
No. Once again, you can wish the game was different, but it’s not. In the game, the combined galactic fleet is fighting
at least 2000 Reaper capital ships and, by extension, at least 10 000 destroyers.
It’s stated that the ratio to beat a Reaper is about 4:1, but let’s be generous and say that it’s 3:1. That means that the galactic fleet would need to be
at least 6000 dreadnoughts and 30 000 cruisers strong.
Whence these ships?
And if the fleets are being decimated, they should be just fine (winning in fact), unless the fleet gets decimated every 5 minutes or so. I don't think that was the case though.
If you meant getting annihilated, maybe.
No, I meant decimated, but you can substitute ‘annihilated’ if you find colloquial usage unpalatable.
