 So apperently a major story ARC was cut. Similar to how we repaired relations between the geth and quarians, and krogan and turians, a few months after Shepard blew up the relay, the Batarians were suppose to declare war on the Alliance. 

If Shepard didnt blow up the relay then a special ops Alliance squad  would anyways, and they would still declare war. 

When the Reapers arrived, shepard would be sent into battle against the Batarians. His mission was to contain the situation in anyway possible and is put in full command of the forces in Batarian space. 

Ontop of fighting Batarians armed forces and special ops teams, the Batarians are notorious for hiring mercenaries, so this is where we would fight krogan mercenaries, mechs, heavy mechs, salarian mercenaries, you name it! A lot of the factions from ME2 were suppose to return and a lot of people were kind of upset we only get 3 major factions to fight in ME3. 

Once the Alliance invaded the home planet of the Batarians, it would be up to him/her to negotiate the surrender. If he/she didnt have enough paragon or renegade, the Batarians wont surrender, and you will be forced to destroy them. 

However, there was apperently some choices shepard had to make concerning battle tactics, that were a lot like the ME2 suicide mission. So its possible the Batarians could have even won the war and Hackett would have to commit more ships into the fight.

But apperently since Bioware was short on time and resources because of EA the scrapped the whole story arc and just said the Batarians got wiped out. Lammmeeee

Source: I saw it in a magazine

EDIT: The Batarians were never suppose to become nearly extinct. That was just the easy way out they took. They were suppose to have gone to war before the reapers showed up, and then gone on the defensive when the reapers finally did show up.

The Reapers would also enter through an entirely different less populated area of the galaxy and spread out from there. 

It also said that the batarians preparing for the war with humanity helped them immensly when the Reapers showed up, because they bought space station with huge canons and gaurded their relays closely. They also instituted a draft in their colonies and hired large mercenary factions. 

Sorry to anyone who thouhgt I was trolling! I wasnt at my computer for awhile. 

I meant to say game informer magazine! Its from like 2011, I was looking through it to see some promises that were just straight up lies and stumbled upon this

Ya where is your source for this, this was not in the script leaks at all.

[AntonioA9011]

Wow. That is crazy. I think I remember reading something like that in the original script, right after Shepard went to that derelict Hanar colony and got attacked. It would have been a pretty decent storyline to an otherwise short and pitiful game.

[Creepter]

I doubt the scenario but seeing something... similiar... wouldn't have been bad. I fully expected there to be a lot more pissed off Batarians. Or at least I imagined that the foreshadowed trail would be a big, serious event. Batarian officials trying to get Shepard condemned as a war criminal instead of sticking to the normaly tradition of just trying to shoot her in the face.
That would've been an original way to start of the game, trying to clear Sheapard's name without resolting to violence. Casey Hudson would've liked it: it wouldn't be too "video gamey".

My biggest gripe with the OP's idea is that the Batarians are essentially wiped out by the Reapers. It wouldn't make sense for them to declare war on the Alliance with their home world burning, the fleets smashed and most of the population dead.

A lot of things got cut.   Most noticably the Rachni plotline took a major hit. 


However this plotline sounds like an early development idea, if it is true, but to me sounds more like a fanfic in its current state.  A source is certainly needed. Regardless game development is brutal sometimes and things cant always make it.   ME3 was still a jam packed game though.

That Batarians werent suppose to be wiped out at all

[Doctoglethorpe]

I was expecting more Batarian involvement in this game. That sounds like it would of been awesome, true or not.

Maybe DLC will bring this or something similar back into the game? I mean probably not an entire story arc just a couple missions, but it would still be nice.

Speaking hypothetically of course on the optimistic assumption the extended cut makes the game playable again.

Will be added later as DLC.

As will this.  Serialisation of video games FTW!

Yeah, they really foreshadowed a Batarian/Alliance conflict in the ME2 DLC. It would have added another layer of difficulty to uniting the galaxy and defeating the reapers.

Then at the beginning of ME3: *whew* "By golly we Alliance folks are sure lucky the Reapers blasted the Batarians to oblivion, that would have been sooooooooo much more writing for the development team!!"

[Edolix]

You "saw it in a magazine"? Wow, that really tells us a lot...

Care to be more specific?

[Leonardo the Magnificent]

Yeah, this was heavily foreshadowed in Arrival. A lot of what would have been exposition/early rising action was cut. A real shame. Not sure if it even made it into development, though, 'cuz this is a very early idea.

^^^^Well, that was supposed to happen in the original script. The trial was supposed to show the state of affairs the galaxy was in with pissed off Batarians  who wanted Shepard to be charged on war crimes, Shepard's questionable psychological state, an emotional farewell with your ME2 LI, and the Batarians again super pissed that Shepard seemingly "got away with it". All of that got canned for the beginning that you see on ME3 now.

[UltraBulldozer]

"If Shepard didnt blow up the relay then a special ops Alliance squad would anyways, and they would still declare war."

What relay? The one from Arrival DLC? You have to blow that up. So how am I to trust the rest of this if the facts aren't presented correctly in the first place?

[xsdob]

I doubt this is real, it would have been in the leaked script if it were true, and it is not.

They were angry, there was supposed to be a trail, I'm glad there wasn't or it would have been a rip off of gears of war where the main character has to be relased from prision at the start of the game.

So as soon as you said, "go to war with batarians" that was pretty much the all clear on you not quite telling the whole truth.

Unless you can name the magizine in question?

Thanks, that was my brain. Where did you find it? I was sure I left it behind a dumpster.

[Blind2Society]

I think what he meant was if you didn't complete the arrival in ME2, ME3 would just back the Batarian conflict by saying a spec ops team blew up the relay.

Anyway, source?

No for the people who didnt buy arrival. If you dont buy Arrival it says in the codex a special ops team was sent in to do it.

A gaming magazine

[Leafs43]

 They did the whole "Reapers destroyed the Batarians" and probably cut out the whoel thing.

It wouldn't surprise me.

Okay, thanks for explaining without visual proof im still skeptical that this "portion" of the game was cut, though anythings possible.
