Well I don't know if this has already been discused.

Reapers are supposed to be the ultimate menace to all kinds, they eliminated Proteans without problems and I believe a good way to represent this would be that one of current race sacrifices to stop them.

Let's say (just examples):
-Somehow you screwed krogans possiblities or genophage cure, they decide to attack Reapes with all they have until the last one is dead.

-Quarians didn't managed to recover their homeworld, tired of fighting they turn al migrant fleet into massive nukes to kill reapers, no one survives.

-Geth realize the damage they have done to their creators and they side with organics sending all geth into battle, no one survives.

It would be narratively accurately IMO. But what do you think?

Would be dissatisfied with such an outcome.

It took the reapers centuries to complete the prothean genocide.

The Quarians and Geth are the only races that have any minute chance of going extinct. The rest of the races are too greatly dispersed to become completely annihilated without the rest of the galaxy following them.

That's silly. No species is going to drive itself to extinction for the sake of another.

Yes i know no race would, those where just examples I thought to make them look heroic.

Another way to see it: Quarians do not get their homeworld back and get suddenly attacked by reaper fleet and extiguished...just to say an idea. (I am not a writter so i may have flaws in my ideas)

Maybe only happening if you failed at some point or mission.

The only thing that's going to happen is a power shift in the ME universe.

If humans are powerful after their home planet is pulverized - I will lose some interest in this series.

I'd actually like to see the humans under the Batarian Hegemony - let's say the Reapers bee lined through Batarian space leaving only a handful behind, but leaving the Batarians relatively undestroyed.

Then - after the war, using the Leviathan of Dis as a power piece... they assimilate human space into the Hegemony before the Council can pick up the pieces. The Council races are too broken to level their power at the Batarians... so for now, the humans are on their own.

The humans are now a client race... and to a slaver race no less. Could make for some good fiction.

Agreed. Even if Humans control the CItadel, Humanity must suffer greatly at the end of ME3. A large amount of Humans still live on Earth (I'd dare to say the majority), and most of the Alliance fleet will be crushed. We shouldn't be able to walk out of there without a scratch. Personally, I can see Earth being abandoned and power is centralized in the hands of the various colonies. Eden Prime could become the next Earth. Humanity could rise from the ashes.

Eh, I might have went a bit off-topic.

However, I disagree about the Batarian future. The Batarians will probably be one of the hardest hit. They were first.

The Krogan are completely spread across the galaxy, and aren't the type to keep in contact with many people. It'd be hard to mass-Krogan the Reapers, especially with their lack of starships.

The Quarians send their maturing youth anywhere that isn't the fleet, some of whom never return, with most not returning for years.

The Geth have platforms that they download Programs onto; if the platform is destroyed, the Program returns to the Geth hub. Plus, they're not one for suicidal remorse, being machines and all.


Not happening.

@GreenDragon - I didn't mean to suggest that it would be "the most plausible" - I just think it would make for great underdog fiction.

Possibly, however I hate Batarians so the thought of Humanity coming under the heel of the Hierarchy sickens me. Still, slave revolt led by Shep returning to save the Human race... Hmm...

[BlaznZero]

Not sure about suicide genocide

But me leading a Volus genocide?

Now we're talking.

^This. If species started intentionally committing their species to extinction, I'm out.

As long as you're saying that from a writing perspective and not actually cheering for human enslavement, I'm fully with you there. It would definitely be a great setup for another story of Humanity's rise from the ashes. I personally would prefer that all of the major powers were mangled during the war, so that in the aftermath, there is a mad scramble on the part of every nation to rebuild and gain control.

However, I think that Human Dominance will be a possible ending, provided you play your cards right. I also think that it will be possible for the Reapers to win, similar to the Shepard dies ending of ME2, where it's something you really need to do intentionally.

Actually, the fact that it sickens you means that it could be a great story, even if it is only a single Human world that was absorbed by the Batarians in the aftermath of the war.

Shepard's story will end with ME3, though, based on previous statements from BioWare, so that means that we will need a new protagonist to lead the slave uprising.

[Romanovski]

Well maybe not a full race, but some planets...like the earth

[SandTrout]

I'm sure there will be an ending where Earth has been pretty much glassed, for the greater good....

[MrFob]

I could imagine this happening in certain scenarios. I mean, it is likely the reapers might wipe out a race at least if Shep chooses a couple things in a certain way.

But race genocide? Isn't that a tautology?

Damn that'd be grim, its hard to imagine a worse fate for humanity.  I hope Earth isn't the only place hard hit by the reapers, I'd think that the Turians/Asari/Salarians would all have much more military might yet as they've had more time to build up.  It could provide an interesting setting for future installments though, shame it couldn't be Shepard leading the charge.

As for species genocide, it doesn't seem like that'll happen to anyone other than perhaps the Quarians.  Even then, they still have a lot of people spread out on pilgrimages and the Migrant Fleet could scatter if it was assaulted.
