Voted on Q15. Honestly hadn't given Indoctrination theory that much thought, but it really is the best option if you want to get better endings.

Bump

Bump for great justice.

Bump for support. Let's keep this near the top.

Hold the Line.

I'm interested in the 'galactic fleets' destroying the Reapers in a space battle, but then I'm wondering how the crucible should play into that. I think maybe it could provide some kind of superior ultra shielding for their ships? Some kind of Reaper communication jammer? (communication is key in any battle, especially one so widespread)

Just doing my duty to bump this.

Hold the Line!

Thanks for putting these polls together.

I belive that keeping our disagreements, about what changes we feel should be made, restricted to the polls is a great way to ensure unity within the community. Instead of bickering, we have the opportunity to let our opinions be heard without compromising the overall message, "the endings are unacceptable as they currently exist."

Hold the line!

Gotta say, nice and detailed polls and it won't be ''generalized'' like the other ones.

It is good to give people an oppurtunity so they can voice their desired endings.

Great set of polls, thanks for doing this, OP.

[Dont Shoot Me]

You should add a poll asking if fans are willing to pay for this dlc. I for one am not willing to support a company that blatantly lies to me about their product and then refuses to correct that lie free of charge.

Hey guys, thanks for the support!

Once we get more votes I'll be adding a final "summarized" ending poll, with each option being a detailed description of the different popular proposals.

Also, I just saw a video here that comes up with a pretty awesome idea for the DLC ending that I haven't heard before.
Basically, the idea is that there is no catalyst or starchild or anything like that, the crucible docks with the citadel and...  NOTHING HAPPENS.  The reason?  The crucible was ANOTHER REAPER TRAP, meant to cause galactic races to waste their resources on a massive project and then desperately gather ALL their forces in one place to be easily dealt with by the reapers.   Did that just blow your mind like it did mine? 

Now, it would also be possible to work this in with the indoctrination theory since that seems to be the most popular at the moment.  You could have Shepard wake up and see Harbinger hovering over him ominously.  Shepard would get a radio message from either Anderson or his squad mates that they made it up to the citadel but nothing is happening.  At which point, Harbinger explains (IN HIS SCARY ALL CAPS VOICE)  that Shepard has LOST and done EXACTLY what the reapers wanted him to do.   Shepard get's dialog options to rally the fleets and basically tell Harbinger to shove it.

NOW, this is the point where things could go very differently depending on what choices and allies the player has made through the game.  If you have krogan ground support, they come in HARD with HEAVY weapons.   There's a big fight with Harbinger on the ground while the fleets are battling the reapers above Earth.  More support comes in based on choices and allies.  Fleet eventually mops up in space enough to send an orbital strike in on Harbinger.  Eventually, if choices and allies were good enough, the reapers are defeated with HEAVY (but recoverable) losses.  If choices where bad, then reapers win, if choices where OK then the fleet eventually beats the reapers but Shepard and squad die back on earth from lack of orbital support.  Afterwards we get an epilogue for whatever is left over.

Good ending shows love interest reuniting with shepard, squad all meeting backu up, galactic recovery for each race, perhaps shep and love interest a couple years down the line?, perhaps shep and garrus on the beach drinking beers and the camera panning out and showing reaper corpses in the ocean? etc)

Middle ending shows shep and love interest dying in each others arms, or shep and squad all dying in an epic blaze of glory, shows the galactic recovery for each race afterwards.  Perhaps ends with garrus's voiceover about meeting him for beers in the afterlife, or shep's love interest telling him that they love him.

Bad ending shows reapers reaping.  Last scene shows a Pyjak on some random world, discovering how to use blunt objects ala 2001, insinuating that they will eventually be the next dominant species in the next cycle.


One possible issue with this is that it relies on completely conventional means to destroy the reapers, and according to the polls about 30% fully support that idea.  So possibly there could be a way to make the crucible at least locally effective against the reapers or possibly some other way to weaken the reapers for this to work out?  Perhaps one of your allies (geth, rachni, quarians, ect) figure out that the crucible was useless and makes modifications?


Once I nail this down more, if you guys like it, I'll make a poll about this.

What do you guys think?

I don't care about Starkid, I just want it to make sense, and for us to fight his logic, and hopefully survive and be with the love interest.

[ket_shee]

Extensive, I think we should link this thread in the main Retake thread.

[recentio]

Very well done. Thanks!

[Aerofallosov]

This is an excellent way to meet Merizan's need for solid, numeric, organized data. Nice work. Bumping for support.

[lanep25]

voted.

[Lunaluxlepus]

All these polls seem quite, I mean, very, very important.

I think everyone here on BSN ME3 forum should cast their votes and voice their opinions!

[Nykara]

Great Polls all voted

[Emeraldfern]

Voted. Tweeted Jessica Merizan about it, really hope she sees this.

[Mad-Hamlet]

Voted. A good poll.

[Mitra]

I just want more options and choices. I want my happy end! They can leave this "ending" if they want, but give me other 2 choices: 1.happy ultimate hero end (Shep lives,with LI and friends, rebuilding galaxy) and 2. Reapers win and we are space dust.
Is it that hard? No, it's that simple!
