Why? Because almost every character in your team is a representative of their race, a paragon for their species, and keeping them alive in Mass Effect 3 will only make it more deliciously tragic when your racist, renegade Shepard throws every other species to the three-headed dogs for the sake of humanity, leaving each to die a miserable death knowing their culture is gone! Mwahahaha!

In all seriousness, I think it makes sense. Considering how you can kill off the Rachni in Mass Effect 1, I suspect you could do the same, in a sense, by sacrificing a race in order to destory a Reaper. The game honestly wouldn't be complete without an ending where humanity is the only race left.

I never play pure paragon/renegade, but I get a strong impression that there will be no "perfect ending" in ME3. That it will not be possible to save everyone. I understand most of the game will be spent recruiting allies among the various races of the galaxy, and I imagine that those who you don't recruit are more likely to be wiped out by the Reapers. That said, the longer you spend running around fixing everyone else's problems and putting together a fleet, the greater the devastation will be on Earth by the time everyone finally gets there. Conceivably, Earth could be gone by the time you've banded together everyone else, meaning you would have to pick and choose your allies to have any hope of sparing humanity - while bearing in mind that recruiting fewer allies in favor of time will mean bringing a weaker fleet to bear, potentially devastating the allies you do choose to lean on. I think this would be a clever design - it would ensure that every playthrough has a different ending, leaving the races of the galaxy in a different state when the dust finally settles. For example, perhaps if the Rachni were spared and Wrex did not survive, the Krogan go to war with the Rachni. If the Rachni were wiped out, maybe the Krogan instead go to war with what's left of the Turian Hierarchy or the Salarians in retaliation for the Genophage. Maybe the Quarian Flotilla was destroyed, maybe they made peace with the Geth and reclaimed their homeworld, maybe they retook control of the Geth and became one of the most powerful factions in the galaxy overnight. Maybe the Geth were less than honest about their intentions, luring them in with peace talks only to wipe them out - if you destroy the Heretic base in ME2, and actually listen to what Shepard tells Legion as a justification for it, that same logic could be applied by the Geth to justify finishing the genocide they committed against their creators in retaliation for the Quarians' attempt at the same. There's all different kinds of outcomes possible, and I'm interested to see what they'll do.

Whatever happens, I hope it just doesn't turn into a "Let's punish every single renegade action the player has made so far" kind of scenario.
