Just curious, as i imported my ME2 character, however, I sold my original Xbox a long time ago, and I started ME2 from scratch. Silly me though, I didnt download Genesis , the interactive comic book, so the default decisions from ME1 are shocking(killed Rachni Queen, Killed Wrex, Sacrificed council(and the destiny Ascension!) etc etc. so whilst im 10 hours into ME3, some of these"default" decisions stink.

After I do ME3(10 hours in so far and loving it) , im going back to ME2, do Genesis(save wrex, save rachni queen, save council etc), then in ME2, rewrite Geths, save collecter base etc, and see what happens at the end of ME3.

My questions are ;

1)Anyone else in the same boat/or thinking of doing the same?

2) Will saving/destroying the collector base make a massive difference to the ending?

P.s I  do not know what the endings in ME3 are, and I do not wish to know at this stage, but according to IGN, there are 17 variable endings for ME3,  but these are split depending on what you do with the collecter base in ME2.

Thanks ;)

Why it won't change the game any. None of it really matters at the end of the day,

The ending in ME 3 makes all the choices in the previous two games irrelevant, so the answer is no.

Not really, but I am going to create an alt shepard making the opposite decisions of my canon Shepard. I don't think there are so many endings in the game, I believe there's around 6

You mean metagame so you can get "best" ending without MP?

Nope.

Saving and Destroying collector base adjusts EMS values needed to win as well as some failure endings, so it does make a slight difference.

Don't get your hopes up with the number 17, there are 3 choices and then outcomes that affect Earth, galaxy, and Shepard. That is where the 17 variations come from.

Yeah, here i was finishing up my canon Shep in ME1 and then ME2 thinking ive done the hard work making all my choices PERFECT to what i wanted. I even spent the time upgrading everything possible, chatting to every npc possible, pretty much doing EVERYTHING in ME2.

Only now that ive finished the ENTIRE SERIES do i learn all my 300+ FRIGGIN HOURS MATTERS FOR SH--.

If I ever manage to play ME1/2 again, which at this point, I have zero interest in doing after finishing ME3 (grrrr!), one thing I will do differently is NOT rewrite the Geth which I did on both playthroughs. In my imported save I also told Tali to shut up (she has always annoyed me) when she was fighting with Legion about scanning her omni-tool I will use a paragon or renegade response next time. This is the only way I will be able to save the Geth and Quarians. Aaleel is correct, in the end it makes sh!t all difference but i'd like to see how the game plays out with Geth/Quarian peace.

I cried so many times during the game, especially when certain characters died but Tali throwing herself off a cliff did nothing for me. Legion dying did however

I would actually suggest going back to ME2 to get the choices you want and then enjoy the 98% of ME 3 that is nothing short of a masterpiece. But don't finish it.

Mmmmm Im guessing I'll find out at the end of ME3! so what you lot are implying is that once I do ME3, I may not care to play it through again?

p.s IGN link re the 17 different endings (which may lead to spoilers)- ive not drilled into the links, but info is there.

Playing for different endings, I would say this is pointless due to the endings. Same goes for doing back-to-back playthroughs. The only reason I know I'll be playing ME1, 2, and 3 again is because I don't play the same game (any game twice in a year; doing that keeps it fresher for longer.

I don't see how there are 17 variations; I would be able to see it if there were an epilogue and the endings didn't invalidate the past choices. I like the three choices, but I don't like how it doesn't seem like there is any difference besides Reapers falling or flying off and the color of the blast.

What she said. I honestly feel like selling my copies of ME2 and ME1. The only thing stopping me is the fact that they're practically worthless now and at those those two were good.

Sure, because it changes ME3 plenty and matters quite a bit.

to clarify from the IGN website;

17 different endings;

hours 7 minutes ago

There are 17 different endings for Mass Effect 3 based on a single choice you make in the final stretch and your Galactic Readiness rating. Your Paragon and Renegade status does not matter.

If you complete a second (New Game+) playthrough of Mass Effect 3 there is one additional ending you can unlock.
Spoiler-Free Zone
The 17 endings are described below, but spoilers are hidden behind "spoiler tags". Requirements are not hidden.

In Mass Effect 2 you're given a choice at the end of the game to either destroy, or keep the Collector's Base intact. The following endings are possible only if the base was NOT destroyed. Note: If you did not import a Mass Effect 2 save it is assumed that you destroyed the Collector Base.

If the Collector Base was destroyed

If you did not import a Mass Effect 2 save it is assumed that you destroyed the Collector Base. If that's the case, or if you imported a save where you made the decision to destroy the Collector base these are the possible endings.

17 different endings

Yes, "different" "endings."

But don't listen to me, discover it for yourself.

You people crack me up...acting like Bioware owes you for the "hundreds" of hours you've invested for nothing.

I've played ME1 and 2 combined for hundreds of hours as well, and while the ending didn't go the way I wanted, I can still honestly say the Mass Effect series is the most amazing game series in history.

I have the Prima guide, they just copied it onto the IGN article.

There are only 3 choices and 3 main endings, when you make a choice these 17 "different" endings show through a cutscene by showing the events of what happens to Earth, Reapers, and Shepard.

Thanks Icemix. However, whos to say my ending wont be different to yours, as I would have made different decisions etc?  Im going in with an open mind, but at least all the negativity means im not "expecting" a return of the Jedi style ending (of course, if we forget  the ewoks and the George Lucas "special edition" changes...) ;)

We all get the same three choices as long as EMS values are high enough.

Its how you interpret the endings is where your differences will be set, as your actual choices do not affect the endings directly.

Egads, what I wouldn't do to be able to post all my thoughts on this in this forum. But I refuse to register my copy of ME3 and head into that den of hyenas over there until things have calmed down somewhat.

(deleted as spoiler)


Er Jeff isnt that classed as a spoiler?  If that is what happens, then cheers.:devil:

ps ive been tactful with giving nothing away for ME3 in this thread.
