I did enjoy this read. Though the only thing I would change is Mirandas; she needs closure on her Cerberus plot. I would have her taking the Illusive Man's seat and opening up some files. And who says Garrus takes Baily's job? Recall the executer was killed during the coup...

I like the citadel fight through with the resistence I also thought this was need when I played through considering the amount of citadel readiness updates you did playing through (ex. civilian militia) also citadel wasn't inreaper control for that long and the number of people on board even if overwhelmed would have taken a long time to subdue and harvest. A couple minor bugs with your ending its stated that Mouse grew to big for the ducts in ME2 like refernce would just have to tweak maybe make it Mouse's child. Also harbinger is not only Reaper with indoctrination Sovereign also could indoctrinate as well as the dead Reaper boarded in ME2 implying its shared among their species. I proposed making it that Reapers were first synthetics that wiped out dominate organics in a war in their cycle. Seeing the cycle repeat they harvest organics until a cycle occurs that brings about peace preventing the fate of their cycle coming full circle in another synthetic race they then purge themselves for their past sins.

This is the ending I'm looking for, GOOD READ

I can easily replace Mouse with a Keeper

The idea behind Harbinger is that the signal is being transmitted by harbinger through the Dreadnoughts, including Sovereign and the 'Dead' Reaper. Think of it like a radio signal being retransmitted through booster relays. One could argue that the signal requires a lot of computing, so what better than millions of minds working in tandem?

[holyDEATHTRAP]

Your point has merit but in ME1 sovereign states he stayed back from dark space (alone) to monitor and signal the other reapers ( who enter a dormant state) when the cycle reached the right point. You could argue that on Rannoch the reaper you destroy does state that Harbinger mentions you whether this is just shared intel or something more would be open to endless debate since nothing in games give evidence one way or other, I just didn't get the feel from Harbinger in ME2 that he was anything more than an early scout like Sovereign but your ideas are still miles ahead of what Bioware did. Personally I think a 5 yr old could have been a bit more creative but I'm just glad their talking about making an effort to give some conclusion.

Bailey as executor, and then Garrus take up his place maybe

I saw someone else post about Miranda taking over Cerberus I too thought this a good idea. She could easily cleanup any Cerberus loose ends having an inside working knowledge and through your influence on her could take Cerberus back to a watchdog group for humanity, one that finds a place in the system. Think Liara and Shadowbroker.

Best ending I've ever read.  I'd like more opportunities for character death (as is, if they lived to this point, a lot of characters are guarenteed to survive)...and I'd really like Shepard to make the ultimate sacrifice at the end, but I really like this.

Great. Though I dislike Javik and the reapers being a nation.

[Mirane]

This is great. Let's hope Bioware will read this;)

Based on what I've experienced, Harbinger is the onl y Reaper who has attempted to justify his actions in any way, this is especially true if you have listened to his unused dialogue in ME2.

 
 

Besides my signal booster analogy, the Reapers are like a cult, they strip your individuality and devote you to the singular purpose of the cult. Sovereign had a special purpose, and fulfilled it until his destruction. Indoctrination is like active hypnosis, and if it can be turned off, the victims 'snap out of it'. Thus, my theory about Harbinger being the true guiding intelligence of the whole Reaper collective, like the Borg Queen.

Hmm, I like this!

I think Cerberus is over and done with, and I think that with all that has happened, Miranda would want to have as little to do with the remnants of the organization as possible.

The ending to mass effect 3 is fine, the fact that you presume to be a better writer then people who write for video games and make money doing it is insulting to writers everywhere, publish something and maybe your idea will have some merit.

[SCK barman]

wasnt aware the merit of an idea was bassed on how much cost

I figured if I constructed the idea to take into account the cost of producing it, it might make it more attractive to someone at Bioware.

I don't presume to be a better writer, just offering ideas as they asked, I even posted this on their ending suggestion posts.

Enjoyed this, if it is a little too happy for my taste. There is closure there, and you integrate game mechanics pretty well. There are a few holes (I think the Javik stuff is a little heavy handed) but it would deliver a lot of what was missing from the ending we got.

I also can't see Garrus going back to c-sec he's tried it once and it's not his style, he's too like Shepherd to get reigned in to a desk job pandering to politicians. I found his role of working higher up the command chain next to the Primarch more fulfilling and closer to his current character development. I'm thinking something closer to a Turian's special task force.

Hmmm, maybe he would gain Spectre Status, pioneering new techniques where Spectres work in teams?

Great post, good ideas, I like most of it. My main concern is the TIM bossfight. The very idea of an elaborate physical fight with TIM seems ridiculous to me. Information is his weapon, his mind is his greatest asset. Any confrontation with him should be a battle of wits.
I actually prefer the way he was handled in the game as it is over the idea of him being transformed into some ... thing as shown in the art book and having to fight that.

I was trying to think of a way to directly confront Harbinger, and drawing from the Saren/Sovereign boss battle, it seemed to be the best way. It isn't a dignified way for such an intelligent character to go, but in a way, being reduced to a mere thug is a final insult to all of his dreams of power over the Reapers.

I mean, I KNOW it is a game...so is it totally dumb that it upsets me that Wrex will never get to see his son due to being stranded on earth? Or that Tali never gets back to Ranoch?

And, umm, actually, Eve & Wrex' unborn son are actually dead. So is Ranoch. Since, you know, Mass Relay destruction is equivalent to a supernova. So that bothers me even more!

yo uknow i'm still not convinced that the way the mass relays blow up at the end of the game is the same as when you fly an asteroid into one. .

i mean asteroid mass/weight ect added to running relay = massive explosion

but an auto destruct may only destroy the contruct of the relay and eject the mass effect core leaving it inert. .   that may just be my way of rationalising it though lol
