There has been a lot of discussion about how Shepard should handle the situation in ME3. So I decided to weigh in on the issue with this: Shepard should be a warrior. He should be so shot in the ass with confidence that he inspires those around him to join the fight. He should attack, attack, attack. He should find any and every weakness and begin to tear and if he can't find any weaknesses he should start making them at every opportunity. He should toss out the rules of war because what he will be called to do will not be civilized, but barbaric and vicious in the extreme.
 
He should be death's special emissary to the galaxy and his mission is to send all of the Reapers to death's embrace because their end is long overdue. His mission is not to preserve the citizenry because that time has now past. It is time to end the threat once and for all by whatever means necessary and God help anyone who gets in his way be they friend, lover, or foe.
 
Man's greatest gift is the ability to destroy and to conquer. We have honed those aspects of humanity for thousands of years freely spilling the blood of our fellows. It's high time we employ those skills to their maximum effect and allow the resulting rivers of blood to run under our feet and if it is to be our end, let the Reapers quake when they recall their victory over us because of the terrible cost of that victory. Let us show them the great error of their ways illustrated in their dearest blood.
 
That should be Shepard's attitude and mindset in ME3.

Well, Shepard's mindset is already to destroy the reapers for the past 2 ME games. I am fine with that. What you are saying OP portrays Shepard as more of a madman than a savior of the galaxy.

OP was trying to be poetic. :P He succeeded, in a dorky kind of way.

IMO Shepard's mindset should still be augmentable by the player. If I want someone who's still hesitant to make morally challenging decisions in the face of huge civilian sacrifices....

 Agreed. I hate the "Shepard must cry to be human" sentiment. It's fine for people who want it, I just hope it isn't forced on me (and thus despise ME3's intro-kid). My Shepard's mindset for ME3 is to make them work for it. That's it. No room for tears, it's not for the faint of heart.

Call me overly paragon, but I think Shepard's goal and mindset should be about preservation.  Saving whoever he can.  Doing that will mean stopping the Reapers, of course, and he should pull out all the stops to accomplish that.  

Basically Shepard needs something to fight for as well as to fight against.  A cause, a group, a person.  More than simple survival.  Shep needs something to cling to when things get grim.  And things will get grim.  It's not enough to simply kill.  He also needs to save.  With too bloodthirsty a mentality, Shepard may prove as destructive to the galaxy as the Reapers.

As Lorien in Babylon 5 put it "It's easy to find something worth dying for.  Do you have anything worth living for?"

Going into ME3 his mindset will be simply "F*ck this sh*t, step the f*ck up off my galaxy you sons of b*tches" 

After ME3 hes going to feel like an ant that toppled a heard of elephants.  FEEL LIKE A BOSS.  And it only cost him millions of lives, not his $5.

I play mostly paragon, but with the galaxy at large in the balance, people WILL need to either fall in line or step aside.

I have six Shepards (what, you dont?!). If all of them are all whiney babies, gungho rebels, or save-everyone-hugs-kisses and unicorns no matter what I do, imma be p*ssed. Now if I can dictate how each one's [EDIT:] mindset will be, I'll be a happy camper.

Shepards' mindset should be however the way he is played by me, you or any other. Not everyone may want to play like that. Biowares' games are about choices and options. Let people choose who they want to be.

That also shows that similar sentneces could be independently spoken by different unrelated people.
