Blow all kinds of hell out of the reapers.

[Clayless]

Lots of people saying "I'd win" but with very little saying on how they would.

[masseffectfan94]

I would have ordered Hackett to blow up the citadel with me on it. Then I would have said my goodbyes to my crew and LI through the radio. That's a bittersweet ending Bioware.

[Iakus]

Shepard after being given three choices by the Goddler:

"Submission is not preferable to extinction!"

[Smiley556]

Hackett, the crucible is a trap. Lock on to my position and fire everything you got. Then kick some reaper ass. Shepard out.

[Hajilestone]

He would have called for a pick up and since Shepard apparently has the ability to breath in space, he and everyone in the crew would shoot a cane at the crucible. After the crucible had been destroyed we would destroy the reapers with the fleets that had been gathered as I got the message "odds of winning are equal" and everyone would live happily ever after.

[Clayless]

Lots of people saying destroy it, but if you destroy it it's just the destroy ending we already have.

@our_last_scene I cannot quote because I'm typing on my phone. Sorry. But you don't need to rewrite the lore, you simply need an reason why this cycle is different. The Reapers, in their synthetic hubris do not realize the danger until it is too late (like the Empire in Star Wars or the Borg in Star Trek). The writing becomes a case of what people think is true and what turns out to be true. We are shown time and again that Reapers can be killed, it is only a matter of degrees to say whether or not the war can be won conventionally.

Well judging by the fact there's thousands of them, probably tens of thousands, and they're incredibly intelligent and vastly superior to normal ships, it's pretty obvious they would crush the galaxy.

Heck, they can even brainwash people to make the ultimate moles.

[Eterna]

The same thing I already did, pick a choice. By that point, the galaxy had put all their hope and effort into the crucible, we had no back up plan. Saying "We'll find another way!!1" is silly, there is no other way. The whole entire military force of the galaxy is at earth, but that isn't enough, not picking one of the options means I've doomed everyone because that's our only hope.

[survivor_686]

Ram the crucible down Harbinger's throat. Or Walk back to the "space elevator", head back to the panel and activate the crucible.

[Sc2mashimaro]

@our_last_scene okay - so it won't be easy. The Reapers are spread thin across many systems though, so maybe a victory at Earth is possible which gives hope that the war can be won. I am mot saying they should or should not do it one way or another, just that it is entirely a matter of how the end is written. I mean, how come the na'vi can drive back the human force in Avatar? A: the writers said so.

hehe...that indeed would have been my perfect Ending...let's get into detail then!

Starchild: The reapers are my solution. With them I stop Synthetics from wiping out organics.
Shepard: So this makes you basically their leader? You are responsible for all this?
Starchild: Yes. But for good reasons...
Shepard: Yeah, right. Hackett?
Hackett: You're still alive?
Shepard: Sure. What did you think of me? *laughs* I am not killed that easily !
Starchild: Would you please listen to what...
Shepard: Please, Casper...be quiet while adults are talking...
Starchild: But I am billions of years old!
Shepard: And still you behave like some spoiled brat. And you committed mass-genocide. Damn, you make me sick!
Starchild: But for good reasons! And I will show you ways to end all this! If you just...
Hackett: Commander, everything alright?
Shepard: Yes. Just some interferences. You know what? Forget the crucible, I found the Reaper's leader. Just use my coordinates and blow everything here including the citadel to smithereens. But pick me up first!
Hackett: Alright, no problem. The normandy is underway.
Shepard: Great. *sighs* I can't wait to get a drink. *thinking to herself* And then? I hope Kaidan's ready, willing and able, because I'll need some serious anti-stress-therapy after this...*grins*
Starchild: Ahem, hey, listen to me! You cannot ignore me! I am the CATALYST! I AM THE SOLUTION!
Shepard: Oh, you're still here? *looks at incoming Normandy* Well, I am outta here! Good luck, Casper,  
Starchild: But...but...Synthesis...Control...my solution....*explosions* ... But it would have been...so artistically done! *more explosions, fade to black*

*Shepard and the Normandy take off, the combined fleet destroys the Citadel including Starchild, and the Reapers everywhere blow apart, and a big celebration (followed by a big galactic-wide funeral...) takes place, with lots of booze, dancing and ... private anti-stress-therapy for the saviour of the galaxy*

I would have told the reaper kid to go F*** himself told Hackett the crucible was a no go and it was time to die fighting.

would have been ten times better then what we got.
Hell and if we all died I would have liked a scene with Jack and shep dying together.

No even if Earth was won it would devastate the galaxies forces. Seeing what is happening, the other Reapers would just communicate and go on the offensive, obliterating the resistance.

I like this idea!

[Potatomade]

I'd have had the fleet make a full retreat through the Charon Relay and sent one ship on a suicide run into it. Sol and most of the Reaper forces would have been destroyed, but most of the allied fleet would have survived, and have a fighting chance in a war of attrition against the Reapers in other systems.

Now THAT is a bittersweet ending: risk the extinction of organic life in order to save Earth, or sacrifice Earth and almost all of humanity in order to give the other races the best possible fighting chance against the Reapers. I think my Shepard would have made this choice.

[Potatomade]

Bump for great justice.

[Asari Legend]

I would have told Hackett to send me a shuttle and tell all surviving ground forces to retreat to the darkest most inaccessable part of space and destroy the mass relay there and spend the rest of my life with my LI and start a family with her.(i play femshep and my LI is samantha traynor)

[CerealWar]

My Shep would have demanded the Starchild to submit an 8 page essay on why the destruction of the mass relays was necessary. After rejecting what ever puny reasoning the Starchild had, she would have punted him off of the station and watched the 7.2k military assets that she had accumulated go to work.

On a more serious note, there weren't any paragon choices available at the end. A paragon Shepard would have let the chips fall where they may and chanced a conventional confrontation with the reapers.

[Thalorin1919]

Shepard is Shepard.


The illusion of choice has always been there. However, Shepard is his/her own character in their own right in ways.


Blah blah blah. I love all these elaborate things "your" Shepard's would do that. Stunning imagination.

Seems like we've reached an impasse. What I hear is: "I would not accept it even if the writers said 'this is so'", but I am saying that most people would accept it if the writers said "this is so" regarding the ability to face the Reapers conventionally. I get that you would not though, so there would be a danger that some people would not accept reversing what appears to be the position they take at the end of ME3.

Again, the example from Avatar. The Na'vi are clearly not equiped to take out a human force. The humans could (and should have) resorted to artillery and space bombardment before even making an approach to attack the Na'vi. But, because the writers said "Jake Sully is a better Indian than the Indians" and "That makes it so they can win", the Na'vi win and Avatar ends on a happy note. Most people accept this ending despite the in-movie talk and lore which would indicate that they don't stand a chance. I would predict the same thing would happen if the writers of Mass Effect said "you can defeat them conventionally if X, Y, Z happens". I'm not saying YOU would accept it, but most people would. I would.
