I think that would be a really cool decision as long as I didn't have to live with it.

So saving earth is the premise if the entire series?

So it would seem. What are these "Reaper" things, anyway?

The Mass Effect series has been about advancing humanity's position on the galactic stage, so yeah it is.

Maybe when its all said and done its about what humanity did as a galactic legacy: heading a force that stopped the Reapers' slavery of organic life and its sole existence as being merely a crop.

But poor Garrus, Liara, Wrex and Thane. And Tali. They fought on the front lines, too.

It makes the decision more meaningful to see which character will react to you not being able to save their world.

Id sacrifice the asari home world they live so long that they could repopulate before the current generation dies out something most other species probably
couldnt do

[SJK93]

Maybe someone already mentioned it, but what about Rannoch and the Quarians/Geth?

The Quarians just have to keep jumping every 33 minutes in order to avoid the Reapers since they don't have a planet to hold.  The Geth on the other hand could just rebuild themselves.

Nice BSG reference.  Best episode.

Earth is already a wastleand so I don't think there's much to sacrifice there.  As long as humanity remains, Earth is just a symbol.  Plenty of new planets (or old planets) to occupy after the war.  But I would sacrifice the krogan homeworld  & race to defeat the reapers.  A dying race gets to die with honor, what's not to love?

[HSHAW]

I'd sacrifice earth if the bulk of the reaper force was still on earth.

[pabd13]

Being a human I think it would be ridiculous to sacrifice earth.

If I was able to save any other home world as well as earth
it would be in this order:

1. Tuchanka- I’d feel  really bad letting them be completely annihilated after all the crap they’ve had to endure (Nuclear wars, early uplifting, genophage)

2. Sur’Kesh- Those sneaky salarians are my favourite council race.

3. Thessia- The Asari have been around for quite some time. I think that the population of Asari in the galaxy is high enough to deal with the loss of their home world.

4. Batarian- I’ve already killed 300,000… I’d rather help them than the turians.
 
5. Palaven- I say let it burn… I don’t like their attitude towards other races and especially towards humans. They think they’re so superior with their huge fleet and military, well they certainly don’t need the stupid human’s help.

As it burns I’d go out of my way and take the Turian councillor to Palaven’s  orbit in the Normandy (if he survived). Then I’d point out of the window and ask him if he still thought the Reapers were a figment of the crazy human’s imagination.


I don’t know if we’ll be able to help anyone else, but I’d like to be able to help the elcor and the raloi. The greedy volus I don’t really care about and I think the yahg would just kick the reapers’ arses if they landed on their world.

Edit: fixed crazy formatting.

Long term the asari are the greatest threat to humanity. Over countless generations they will infiltrate and influence us. The other races are just military rivals.

I won't sacrifice Earth I'd give myself first before I give up Earth! If I have to die in order to save Earth from total reaperfication then I will. I don't want an Earth 2 (bsg) I want the Earth back! I am making no plans for anything but taking my homeworld back from those reaper's claws and I'll do so with sheer will and my own hellstorm of fire I'm reclaiming Earth I won't settle for less.

My thing with the asari is that when they marry/pair up with other races, their child will be asari... Then they outlive their partner and maybe pair up with another and possibly have another asari child. Am i blowing it out proportion or will the galaxy be full of asari after a few thousand years (if we survive the reapers).

That makes the most sense but I would still sacrafice the Asari since I bet they could rebuild themselves.

[Raiil]

Eh, the whole argument eventually hinges on whether you think humanity should come first or not. It doesn't for everyone. Paragons will choose equally. At this point, my Shep doesn't care who survives as long as some people do, whatever race they may be. Not in a 'let's hold hands and sing kumbaya' sort of way, it's just been a long slog and for some, annihilation of the Reapers is what's important, not who is in charge after the dust settles.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who thought this! Seriously, the Asari are eventually be the end of the other races(Except the krogan if the genphage is cured) with their longevity and ability to mate and be considered attractive to other species. As to whether or not you're blowing it out of proportion... well I don't think so.

[stewie1974]

A space faring race can never be -doomed- with the loss of their homeworld.

But yeah probablly would sacrafice the asari..... the galaxy eventually would be populated with nothing but asari as they borrow DNA and remain asari..... any races that think a child they have with an asari is preserving their own species heritage is mistaken... the child is blue through and through, it's not even a hybrid of the two species, it is just asari.

Yes it can

[Chun Hei]

Humans could be doomed. The colonies the humans have seem to be pretty seperatist plus any adaptations the humans make to their colonies could make them incompatible in the long run. Not to mention that colonies are easily destroyed and overrun by slavers and the Citadel forces are not very good at protecting their own.

[ISpeakTheTruth]

Tuchanka, I'm sorry but that planet is already half way destroyed anyway sacrificing any other specie's homeworld to save that hunk of radioactive waste is morally horrible. After that I'd sacrifice Thessia because the Salarians bring high intellegence and the Turians give us alot of army strength both of which are more important in a war than whatever the Asari give us... what do the Asari give the galaxy besides strippers?

[Chun Hei]

And Asari have a cultural taboo against breeding with their own. If they replace all the other races they have destroyed themselves culturally. It is almost like the vampire stupidity. If they suck all the people dry what will they have to eat?

Just like all former colonies were doomed when mother england no longer supported them?

The human race just needs to adopt another planet to survive....Earth is pretty much depleted mineral wise as far as those scans go, so the planet has no -wealth- to offer other species anyway. Earth is just a habitable rock like any other in the galaxy... The death of earth by natural means won't mean the extinction of the human race if we are able to colonise other worlds.

If we sacrafice earth, it means taking the -fleet- with us..because you know, we are not sacraficing the fleet to save earth.

[ThanesSniper]

Probably Earth, because I'm in no position to doom a race that isn't mine. If only the Migrant Fleet was an option...
