Lots of things support that theory actually.

The fact normandy is leaving the cluster before the fight is even over most of all ;P

For me, the real clincher/confusing thing is this 'destruction of mass relays.' According to the codex (and Arrival), Earth would be destroyed. So, Earth is NEVER saved at the end of ME3.

But, still... Clever BioWare? Or Incomprehensibly Bad Writing BioWare? What will their legacy be? ;)

It´s confusing about the destruction of mass relays that´s true, so, choosing any ending, there´s always the last cutscene... the grandpa with his grandson...  how? 

Here´s a link explaining the endings based on EMS... total 16 endings...
www.rarityguide.com/articles/articles/1739/1/Mass-Effect-3-Endings-Guide---HEAVY-SPOILERS/Page1.html

That´s the number of endings they "promised"...  but it´s not official,  I dont know how they get this information about the EMS ranges and their effect in game, so as the theory of endoctrination, this could be true... we'll wait for more news and DLCs FREE for explanations... <_<

According to the wiki there are 6266 total war assets (SP only) available so far in ME3 (including Ashes DLC) for a Paragon Shepard import. So you can get those plus your import value. It doesn't reach 4000 EMS.

I guess my ME3 game isn't the same one that they quoted about - That assets available in SP were MORE than needed for the best endings. (4000 - 5000 EMS depending on Anderson).

Has anyone actually seen the gasp of Breath and never played Infiltrator or MP games?

My Import is a completionist Paragon Shepard ME1/ME2 all DLC.

At this moment, getting ready to attack TIM on my second play through, my total assets are 7263, so I should end up at 7363 (Reaper heart for destroying Collectors in ME2) before taking my 50% hit. That gives an effective war score of 3631.5 / 3681.5. This represent a near-perfect playthrough (I somehow backed the wrong C-SEC agent, which cost me 10 total, 5 effective point swing for the Citadel Defense Force). This represents importing saves from ME1 (Council died because I had more important things to do, Rachni Queen saved, Wrex lived, Batarian terrorist lived) through ME2 (all DLC played -- all characters loyal and alive, geth heretics deleted, 100 points in minerals on fully upgraded Normandy). So far as I can tell, the only *possible* points I missed in three games are 1) Conrad Werner (?? -- biggest fan) quest from ME1/ME2 (5 total war assets), 2) paragon option at end of Overlord, 3) I decked the reporter in ME2 (but not ME3), 4) net point gain for saving Council in ME1.

So, in summary, I will end with 7363 (should have been 7373) raw War Score before halving. With a fully maximized three game run, I might have gotten that up to 7425 or thereabouts. What is the total point swing for saving the Council, once you factor in the heaters for salarian egg clutches side quest?

Okay, so I'm pretty certain people in this thread are mistaken because I just passed 9000k in War Assets and I based on walkthroughs I'm not even finished yet. (I just completed the Rannoch missions.) I have been playing some multiplayer but I understand that doesn't affect war assets at all, correct?


Anyone claiming 8000 or greater war assets please post pictures.  If you're feeling particularly generous, a detailed description of your ME1->2->3 choices would be appreciated.

ME1: Saved Ashley, Wrex, the salarian STG captain, the council..& had kaiden sacrificed for the team, romanced Liara accidentally..(wanted Ash actually). Done BdTS, saving the crew but letting the batarian escape as a result. Scan and explored every dang planet(Asari wirtings etc). Saved the Rachi Queen. Saved the Feros Colony.

ME2: All mates survived & of cos all their loyality missions done. Re-wrote the geth data, prevent Tali's exile, destroyed collector's base. Romanced Miranda:wub:. Had Kasumi & Zaeed as teammates. Did Firewalker, Stolen memory, Shadow Broker & Arrival DLC. Activated Legion, & having Grunt as well.

ME3: Scanned all star systems and side quest all done except the 
Eden Prime: Resistance Movement (missed it..dang..), Romance with Miranda, all previous team mates part of War Assets(Jack, Jacob, Kasumi, Zaeed). Revealed Sabotage of Genophage. Mordin died to prevent sabotage. Resolved the 300 year old war between Geth and the Quarians. Saved Rachni Queen again.

Ask me if I missed out any other choices made.

Right now in the middle of the last mission.:)

Your Alliance is way too high. Methinks you've promoted a ton of multiplayer characters. :-)

There are fewer than 8,000 total assets attainable in the game. One of the iOS apps has a small asset, and every promoted multiplayer character provides some assets—these are required to get more than the maximum (which currently looks to be around 7,500). A player who plays only the single-player campaign can never reach the 4,000 and 5,000 EMS requirements for the final ending variation, contrary to nearly every statement regarding multiplayer and its relation to single-player that BioWare has ever made.

(The original poster in that quote was playing with a hacked Coalesced.bin.)

I've made through ME 1, 2, 3 with 5 different characters (3 paragon, 2 renegade ; for each male then female, with different love mates - Liara, Ash, Kaedan : ME 1+3 - Tali, Miranda : ME 2+3) ; each of them, with every ME 1 & 2 DLC available completed the best known way, for ME 3 only free DLC (i did not buy anything elses than the core game).

I reach for every character around 6700-7000 war assets, with 100% in multiplayer.

No one dies in the end except those you cannot avoid : Kaidan/Ashley, Mordin, Anderson, Legion (i reunited Geth with Quarians) and Thane.

Chambers, Miranda, Jack... all saved. Wrex made it alive from ME 1, every partner survived in ME 2, Samara and her daughter from the ME 3 monastery lives too.

The memorial is quite empty, in the final of ME 3 !!! ^^

I have the choice between 4 endings, classic Control/Synthesis/Destroy/Nothing
