You only need 4000 EMS to get the best ending and my total war assets were between 7800 and 7900 (and I know I messed up a few choices in various spots). It is doable with a perfect run.
Lies. Why are people still spreading these lies. People have datamined the game to determine the number of assets and TMS/EMS.
IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO DO GET 4000 EMS IN SP ALONE.
Sorry for the caps, but peoples till don't seem to get it....
All I want to know is, is it possible to get 4000 EMS in SP alone?
I had some where between 7800 and 7900 at the end of my play through. I had made poor choices with random citadel choosing sides events and left the rachni queen to die (for fear of losing Grunt) and also recruited Ashley back to the ship (if you station her or Kaidan on the citadel you get war assets from that). There are plenty of war assets to get from single player if you've made the right choices in ME1 and 2.
On PS3 you may not be able to since a few events in ME1 are defaulted automatically and lose you a bunch of war assets in 3.
I'll fall for this....
.... and just assume you are remembering wrong. You say 'between 7800 and 7900'... that reveals that you are not absolutely certain of your score. If you are going to stand by this number, please load up the game and check again.
If it's less than that, no harm done, I don't have the best memory either.
But we have datamined the actual game files. I can send you a spreadsheet that contains every possible asset available with the game we were shipped.
Once we had that info, we found out the absolute max number of assets you could get from a ME1 -> ME2 -> ME3 playthrough. This meant playing either Paragon or Renegade to get the best number of war assets in the end of ME3.
We also considered that some are mutually exclusive, and factored that in.
With our most ideal playthrough we could not get 7800 or 7900, let alone a playthrough where poor choices were made.
This is a serious issue for many people, and one that EA/Bioware PROMISED us would NOT happen.
There was even a sticky in the General Discussion forum from Jarret Lee saying there were more than enough War Assets in Single Player, until it was recently removed (supposedly due to a 'server hiccup', but that's another story).
One of the very few responses we've recieved from Bioware, other than them flat out telling us we are wrong and to scan more planets (really? really??), is that players like you told them it's possible.
This is a problem, because many people are confused about EMS and TMS, or just misremembering their score and
assuming there is enough as long as you just play 'perfectly'.
This is not the case, and it's just confusing an issue that.... frankly.... is almost as cut and dry as it can be.
Check the game files yourself, if you don't believe us.
