Damn. I'd shoot that kid once he morphed into the VS or Anderson.....

That ending sounds so much better

[Reign Tsumiraki]

I would be okay with this ending. It would still involve the ghost-god-child thing, but as long as I have MY own option, and not HIS, I'd be fine with it.

The reaper can be defeated in this cycle for several reasons.

1. This is the first cycle that reaper invasion had been delayed. In all other cycles reaper just use the citadel to pass all defense and attack the heart of the galaxy.

2. It had been 3 years after Sovereign's failure. The galaxy may not be fully ready, but it had time to reverse engineer Sovereign's body to acquire advanced tech. In fact, in ME2 Normandy SR2 got weapon and armor upgrades from that. And that's why it survived the suicide mission.

3. It had been proven a destroyer reaper can be easily defeated by a laser targeting device and a quarian fleet.

4. The lie "ultimate conflict" told by the Catalyst leads to distrust between organics and synthesis. With Shepard's effort the conflict had been successfuly resolved in this cycle. That means something.

Can't say I like the fourth option. It implies the Reapers can be defeated through conventional means. That would reduce from the cosmic menace they are to mere enemies.

I can excuse that fact because as corny as it sounds it means that Shepard has unleashed the ultimate weapon against The Reapers; unity. The young and flawed civilzations of the Milky Way became one civilization, looked the Reapers in the eyes and said "Gotcha"

Yeah, just to clarify, this ending would only make sense if your Shep has gained the maximum amount of assets possible, that is scouring the galaxy like a vacuum cleaner with his probes, and making the most optimal choices throughout the series.

Seeing war assets in action is amazing, and so is having that 4th refusal option. It makes sense that with perfect war assets and would be able to beat them by the skin of your teeth, because usually the reapers divide and conquer, but Shepard was first to unite everyone and have the chance to actually pull it off via conventional means. It will require huge sacrifice but the galaxy can be kept intact.

Now THAT is an ending I could live with.

That how the ending happened for my Shep, must of fallen asleep with the other 3 lol. Seriously though i would do anything to see this ending become a realitynin the actual game.

[moteh]

I think an option like this, that doesn't require a massive rewrite on Bioware's part is the most likely option to get green lit. Also, to some claiming that this requires alot of resources, taking down the reapers through sheer might and conventional weapons is going to require absolutely everything you have possible to throw at them. anything less requires a deus-ex-machina... we already have that

[Sidra2099]

One day, when I tell the saga of commander shepard to my kids and/or grandkids, in a tasteful yet entertaining manner, this will be the ending that I will use.

I don't think unity would be a conventional mean. To me (and this is my understanding of what conventional means is defined as) conventional means would be your own, individual, fleets trying to take the Reapers out. Even at the begining of the game, Hackett said the Reapers couldn't be beaten by conventional means. And this was before the idea of the Crucible was introduced to the plot. So I think unity is the unconventional mean. Not perfect, but better magical beams that destroy mass relays, imo.

[CReaper210]

I just read the entire thing. And that would be an AMAZING and SATISFYING conclusion to the ME trilogy. It actually shows that everything you did actually mattered. It explained the Reapers a lot more. I'm just going to imagine that is the actual ME3 ending.

[Hecuter]

Me like!

Would be too easy to simply just just let the conversation play out allowing players this ending with little or no effort. Certain criteria should be met before this conversation can take place for example at least all, or most, of these variables

Peace between the Quarians and Geth
Genophage cured
Rachni Queen spared on Noveria and saved 2nd time
Batarians backing Shepard, Pillars of Strength Found and convincing Ballak to commit the Batarian Fleet
EDI and Joker "Dating"
Shepard giving EDI the appropriate advice for being an individual

Then the conversation path should be similar to the one that with Jack Harper, aka TIM, allowing for the possibility for having to resort to the initial three choices and not the 4th "secret" option much like how Shepard can "save" Anderson or not.

This way this isn't simply giving us what we want but allowing all those choices to actually make a difference during the final mission and allows BW to give us wonderful DLC post Reaper War on Earth. Hell some of the DLC could be fighting and eliminating the rest of the Reaper menace from the galaxy.

Even it is a quintessential human delusion I would fight for it.

[IronDanz]

An ending worthy of the Mass Effect series!

[Morph.hu]

now THIS is what I call an ending. Simple isn't it? Just adding a choice to try to utilize the Fleet's strength instead of giving in to the three choices that have nothing to do with the fleet you got together (giving in to someone as Commander Shepard in simply absurd anyways).
Bravo. Now if only BW cared enough to read and react...

The extended dialogue in the other parts is good though.

Well they can. So far it has been done on a 1:1 basis, with everything from thresher maws to missiles, but it is possible. Just assuming it isn't is basically what's going through all of ME3, which I always thought was immensely idiotic. 

Personally I think of Star Trek and the Borg with this situation. A huge fleet still failed at Wolf 359. By the time First Contact came around, the cube had suffered heavy damage by the time the Enterprise E came on the battlefield, and once they targeted the right spot (same as the reaper eye, really), a few dozen quantum torpedoes down its throat made short work of it. Then, by the time the last episode of Voyager came around, a single Intrepid class ship was shooting down Borg cubes left and right using transphasic torpedoes. 

If you move away from canon and into the book series, the Borg threat later returned and caused a massive war. In the end, the entire Borg hierarchy was taken down in a way that isn't as far off from how the existing endings to ME3 handle the Reapers. This happened in a book trilogy that ties together stuff all the way back to Enterprise. 

Personally I've never been a fan of that kind of ends to a war. It just seems unlikely. Like if a 4 team special forces unit went on a mission to the Amazon jungle to find an old Mayam artifcat that magically turns all Al-Qaida members into bunnies. 

[Ludica]

This ending defeated the Catalyst's assertion, That worthless flawed, arrogant and genocidal substitute for a logic.

I'm Commander Shepard, and this is the only ending in my story.

[zm6148]

fantastic writing !~

[matthius299]

I still hate the starkid, but this ending would have been awesome with what we have already. APPROVED

[MercenaryNo]

That ending makes so much more sense.

[BraggleFraggle]

This ending, would put almost everyone at ease.
Then, the game could take into account your reputation/paragon/renegade bar to determine if/how Sheperd gets off the Crucible and to what extent the Reaper War finishes. So max reputation, having an LI and appropriate Paragon/Renegade points would result in being reunited with your team and LI, for proper epilogue content.

This was a great read

[Slash_luke]

Wow..just wow. THIS is ending Mass Effect trilogy deserves!
