Still if nothing else this thread has demonstrated why they're having to dumb-down games and make it "everyone's a winner" ;p

Nobody seems to be able to agree what the "right" decision is. If bioware was to write a story where choice A results in victory, but choice B resulted in a round about defeat due to strategic oversight, half the player base would claim it was a dick move for not supporting their decision.

So it's no suprise we get stuff like the end of ME2 where it's pretty ambigious which was the right choice (Without factoring in meta gaming), but the morality system labels one as "good" and one as "evil"

Last Vizard wrote...I commented on an early page that we should blow it up, ME 2 changed the rules a little, seems too easy for the Reapers to just fly back in two years... why didn't Nazara just call the fleet in when the Rachni plan failed? i think the relays will still function without the citadel.


Yea that is what I was getting at but I get kinda side tracked :D I do that when i get going. Its worrying that considering some people take this game really seriously (For a game) that they are already willing completely to sacrifice Earth just because the relays might not work if the Citadel goes boom. Yes I'm all for stopping the Reapers getting hold of the Citadel but defending it at the cost of all else? No way...

I really hope that is one of Shepherds options

Give everyone time to evacuate we'll hold the Reapers off then we blow it. (Paragon)
Ok hold off but we can't wait long! (Neutral)
Do it now! every second we waste thousands more die in this galaxy (Renegade)

and I hope that is just a early to mid game decision not the game ender like Saving the Council etc

Let's keep global warming discourse out of a reaper discussion (If only because I'm gonna have to beat you over the head with th dozens of studies that disagree with your statement)

If organics keep the citadel , the war can be won and we can repopulate the earth afterwards, hopefully in a more responsible way. If the citadel is lost to the reapers, we lose the whole mass relay network, so each system will be isolated and the reapers will take them all one by one.


Reverse engineer the master control in the citadel.  Test it to ensure it works.

Then blow that ****ing station up.  Keeping it around is liability and it ought to be done away with, post-haste.

Yea it will be a bit crappy if they make it "Good" "Neutral" "Bad" ending... personally I would like shades of grey as well as the definate "Good" "Neutral" "Bad" endings

Incorrect assumption.  Earth is not an overpopulated slum.  Granted, areas of it are, but that's true of most every world too.

They don't live there. It is merely the basis of their plan which they have the keys for. Besides the Reapers homeworld isn't even known yet. Also, station not world:whistle:


Yes, but they come by the Citadel!

But without the citadel they can't come in our galaxy.

According to the codex the developed parts of Earth have been built into self sustaining arcologies, with large expanses of fauna - in otherwords Earth of ME is actually somewhat Eutopian and in better condition than it is today despite the larger population.

Sustaining a population is largely down to efficient use of land and resources; we have a LOT of room for improvement at present. the humans of ME have made steps towards picking up the slack.

And yet again, I am reminded why BSN needs a free for all forum where any subject matter is allowed.

Since when was the Citadel a crucial transport system anyway.... As far as i know it's just some city that's home to some stupid corrupt UN from space.

Apparently not, if ME3 is any indication.

Save billions which compromises the majority of the human race and our home planet, or save millions compromised of several different alien species and a place that merely acts as the galactic capital.

The only way they could really make that choice less one sided was if the majority of the galactic army was at the citadel when you need to go save it, or if the citadel is destroyed and for whatever reason all the relays shutdown.

They were ment to use the Alpha Relay but that got blow to bits (I just know that but I still haven't done Arrival). They must have used another one nearby. But it doesn't link to the Citadel but they'll get there if that vision is partly right.:blink:

Can they use another relay? i didn't know it. however, the Citadel has no utility. Why would i save the citadel? For go in the Dark space, but it is useless.

They made the relays so it would be clear they can use them. And they may have some kind of base in dark space - considering a few thousand Reapers would be tough to take down - as some structure could exist to link to the Citadel. Man this has went on a while....

Lose the Earth. We can always go back to repopulate it since we have a pool of billions of humans on other planets and colonies.



No, we don't.

Total population off of Earth is, at best, maybe 50 million.  Earth's three largest colonies have a combined population of 14 million or so.  That means Earth's three largest colonies account for about 0.12% of the human population.

You lose Earth, and humanity is done as a species.  The other races who have been in space over a thousand years can recover from losing their homeworlds.  Humanity cannot.


The aliens stand with us as long as we are useful, if we lose Earth we'll become slaves.


No sacificing earth and most human lives,will make humans the ulitmate choice to be on the Council,not only that over time humans what are left will be able to repopulate.itll take a very long time but so what.

If the choice is citadeal or Earth,im Saving the Citadel


If you think that the other races are going to hand us a seat on the council out of goodwill, you are naive about them.

Sitting on the Council means being able to handle your own problems and help others with theirs.  A humanity that has suffered the death of 99.88% of its population meets neither of those requirements.  Council membership isn't a charity.


How do you know,have you talked to them or seen the future.no no you have not....
Even so,im still ganna let earth be used as a trapt and lore reapers there.humanity hasnt really proven much to me so F*** it.if the best end result is getting some gold and a place to live out the remaining days itll be worth it.besides being one of the few humans left alive will be Fun

If the reapers can go anywhere in the universe, we can go too, if we the people of ME will destroy the reapers.

Well simple the Reapers arent going to blow up the station because they need it and the Citadel can close up. So Earth can get the support it needs just fine.

I dont even think the Reapers are the ones who built the Citadel, something the inherited when taking over the Milky Way

You lose the Citadel, you could very well lose the war.


If you lose either you lose humanity in that case. Unless this choice is being made at the end of the war, in which case you want to save Earth.

If this is being made during the war then the only alternative is collaboration.
