Glad i could help.

Though to continue this trian of thought a bit before I head to bed.

Ever since I learned that the Citadel would eb involved in the final battle I have been dead certain it would have something to do with the fact that the Citadel was a massive relay. Either as a cannon, or a bomb and now as the function it was always intended to full fill, a link to Dark Space. In what capacity that would work i dont know and still dont, but it is the most logical thing to to use the Citadel for.

We also know the Crucible can generate unquantifiable levels of energy, possibly enough to activate the largest relay in the galaxy?

But the most interesting thing i just thought of is how traveling through the Citadel Relay would mimic the endings of the two last games in which we also travelled through a uniquie relay to reach our final destination in the fight.

In ME1 it was the Conduit, the Prothean build Relay linking to the Citadel.

IN ME2 it was the Omega-4 relay linking to the Collector base.

In that regard it could make sense to send us through the Citadel Relay to end ME3, going to Dark Space, to the heart of where the Reapers came from to end them once and for all.




What if the Reaper base isn't actually in Dark Space? What if the Citadel Relay takes us all the way to Andromeda? ME4 could take place there... a whole new galaxy to explore with new aliens to have first contact wars with.

And what if they had their own citadel and had no idea Reapers had been harvesting them too for millions of years? Lots of epic story potential there.


Thats just thinking way too much.

it would be great but that is not likely to happen.
me4 is more likely to be a prolouge like the krogan rebellions,the morning war or the first contact war,but nobody really knows.
But maybe the citedel does take us to where the reapers are from and then blow them out of existance and have a final boss fight against harbinger,

That would be epicPosted Image

Prologues are boring. We all know what already happens. You want to know what a prologue video game is like, read a history book and then watch the movie Titanic.

I'd rather they continue into the future and go to the Andromeda Galaxy.

Iknow but what else are bioware going to do?

Or better yet, if it's a dream then you could continue battling them in new games but they come up with different plans of destroying all life? This could happen if BioWare had it that you only see the tide turned in EC.

Edit: I'm talking about the Reapers.

I disagree, to me that would seem like too much, not to mention repetitive, as it is basically a repeat of the same story for our own galaxy.

I don't really like the idea of ME4 involving Shepard, since it would seem like they are driving the seriesinto the ground.  I would hate for ME to turn into nothing but a brainless action movie, not that I'm saying that would happen, but I always worry about that when a franchise goes beyond a second sequel.

I think there is still alot we can explore in our own galaxy, the idea of going to another galaxy seems like it would be epic, but if not executed well, would just seem repetitive.  I look forward to seeing what BioWare plans to do with the ME unlverse, as long as it isn't the same storyline told over again just in a different place.

A setting ripe for a new spectre.

I don't even mean involving Shepard, and no it wouldn't be a repeat because the Reapers might be different and of course the races might be different, maybe some as hostile as Vorcha but with a powerful military like the Turians. I mean the Reapers we fight might be some old iteration with bad design flaws and the really badass new ones could have branched out to Andromeda (since it's heading on a collision course with us anyway) and changed their structure. I just think there'd be a lot more new things to discover, cultures, technologies, and alien cultures for Bioware to create. If I was the writer, it's the next place I would go, but I'd send someone like Vega and make Shepard an Admiral (if Shepard even survives) taking Anderson's place so the guy can finally go retire. Or alternately, make Shepard the human council member.

Yea,but theres too many plottwists,like maybe you didn't cure the genophage or you let the quarians or geth die,theres just too many variables.

Hello everybody. I just finished Mass Effect 3 yesterday. I know. I'm late. Long story short, I avoided it due to peer pressure about the bad ending but always knew that I'd play it one day so therefore also avoided all spoilers, and taking advantage of a 50% off Origin sale, I've finally finished it. Game was great, ending not so much, it forced me to seek out explanations online which eventually led me to this thread.

Now with that out of the way, I've spent a good number of hours reading through a bunch of texts and thoughts on the subject, including this one, obviously, and the 'logical breakdown' doc.

Now, I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before, but I did run a very rudimentary search and didn't find anything, so forgive me if I've missed something in nearly 3000 pages of posts, but a strange 'connection' seemed to occur to me while I was considering the fact that the Normandy Crash itself might be part of Shepard's dream as well, and I would be remiss if I didn't share.

I recall during the game, there was more than one hint of a lucious tropical paradise.

When speaking with Jacob in that holographic thingamabobbie in London (I believe this is where it was) he mentions that after this is all over, you guys go and get a little drink in Rio.

Later on, during your heart to heart with Garrus, he says specifically, "We're going to retire somewhere warm and tropical".

These two lines sort of remained in my head, as if they were chosen specifically to create an image in both the player and Shepard's mind... because the place where the Normandy landed bore an image of something warm and tropical, and correct me if I'm just imagining things at this late hour, reminded me a lot like the wildlife of Rio.

Not to mention that rumor has it that the upcoming DLC will have a multiplayer map... in Rio.

It occurs to me that the whole Normandy crash might very well be what Shepard promised to do with his mates once they got out of it. It might just very well be a construct of his mind trying to create a perfect outcome for his friends with the assumption that he himself died. (He's dreaming, subconsicously 'realised' his own death, and therefore showed his friends in the outcome that he had just discussed prior to the mission.) And while I know that this idea of the construction isn't new, the concept of 'why a jungle paradise' might have roots in this idea.

Just noting that this might be intentional or not at all, and really also depends if this whole hallucination idea actually pans out... but if it isn't, it's a pretty interesting coincidence considering their choice of words and subtle, subconscious imagery.

Or perhaps, I am thinking too much. =)

You are not imagining things. I pointed this out a few hundred pages ago and it was kind of brushed off. If you romance Liara, she says something similar. I had asked if the other LI's do it and the consensus was no. I think there are 6 references to a tropical paradise, but I'm still working on that game gathering dialog and I'm no where near where these talks take place; the last third of the game. Most of the early references are a little general, but all represent hope.

Some that I can recall off the top of my head

Tuchanka; Bakara

'And the color green. I thought plant life was extinct here.'
'What you see is hope, all that's left on Tuchanka. It was a beautiful place once and hopefully will be again.'

Rannoch

Can't recall dialog but Tali talking about her ancestors spreading the seeds that covered the land in beauty.

Again; hope.

They get more specific with Liara and with Jacob and Garrus. Wrex; if alive, also mentions getting a new planet.

Very good catch for a first run, I have to say. I played through 5 times before seeing the trend, but the Liara conversation always made me wonder about the crash scene.

What if the Reaper base isn't actually in Dark Space? What if the Citadel Relay takes us all the way to Andromeda? ME4 could take place there... a whole new galaxy to explore with new aliens to have first contact wars with.

And what if they had their own citadel and had no idea Reapers had been harvesting them too for millions of years? Lots of epic story potential there.


Thats just thinking way too much.

it would be great but that is not likely to happen.
me4 is more likely to be a prolouge like the krogan rebellions,the morning war or the first contact war,but nobody really knows.
But maybe the citedel does take us to where the reapers are from and then blow them out of existance and have a final boss fight against harbinger,

That would be epicPosted Image

Prologues are boring. We all know what already happens. You want to know what a prologue video game is like, read a history book and then watch the movie Titanic.

I'd rather they continue into the future and go to the Andromeda Galaxy.


Iknow but what else are bioware going to do?
with the reapers destroyed or whatever what else is there?
besides prolouges aren't that bad,gears of war is doing one even after 3 was supposed to be the end.


As I have said before multiple, times, why the hell would they? They have a kickass setting right now, the Krogan are slowly becoming a major power, the Geth and Quarians are involved in Citadel politics again, as are the Batarians, who are in the process of reforming their government, Humanity has just made itself the biggest collection of goddamn heroes in the galaxy, the Salarians and Asari are losing political clout since Dalatrass Linron bowed out of the war in cowardice and it's been discovered the Asari were sitting on Prothean tech this whole time, the entire galaxy is in uproar and political upheval, Cerberus, while wounded with the loss of their headquarters and chief assassin, remains a credible threat, and no one ever said the Reapers would be completely wiped out by ME4, merely that the tables are turned.

A setting ripe for a new spectre.


Yeah, keep the same setting, add another Galaxy into the mix. and make it a true intergalactic war plus all of the inter-species squabbles. For now the war has only been in this galaxy and the politics in this galaxy. If a Relay was opened to Andromeda, it could be disasterous and amazing. It'd feel like playing ME1 all over again with the same sense of newness and awe but on a more epic scale. Do you see what I mean?

We missed you.


I've been busy fighting the good fight on BSN, writing, watching anime, and getting some spring excercise. plus I had to have my only wisdom tooth pulled. Also you guys are hard to keep up with if I skip a couple days.



Wisdom teeth huh? Had mine pulled last year.

I hate wisdom teeth.

And I have to skip a couple days soon too. Posted Image

As do I!  I believe I just found my headcanon.  glad I could contribute Posted Image


Glad i could help.

Though to continue this trian of thought a bit before I head to bed.

Ever since I learned that the Citadel would eb involved in the final battle I have been dead certain it would have something to do with the fact that the Citadel was a massive relay. Either as a cannon, or a bomb and now as the function it was always intended to full fill, a link to Dark Space. In what capacity that would work i dont know and still dont, but it is the most logical thing to to use the Citadel for.

We also know the Crucible can generate unquantifiable levels of energy, possibly enough to activate the largest relay in the galaxy?

But the most interesting thing i just thought of is how traveling through the Citadel Relay would mimic the endings of the two last games in which we also travelled through a uniquie relay to reach our final destination in the fight.

In ME1 it was the Conduit, the Prothean build Relay linking to the Citadel.

IN ME2 it was the Omega-4 relay linking to the Collector base.

In that regard it could make sense to send us through the Citadel Relay to end ME3, going to Dark Space, to the heart of where the Reapers came from to end them once and for all.




What if the Reaper base isn't actually in Dark Space? What if the Citadel Relay takes us all the way to Andromeda? ME4 could take place there... a whole new galaxy to explore with new aliens to have first contact wars with.

Yea,but theres too many plottwists,like maybe you didn't cure the genophage or you let the quarians or geth die,theres just too many variables.


well, obviously they didn't care about player choices before since the council was cloned if you didn't saave them and Udina was made Human council member even if you chose Anderson. Some of the canon is whatever they make it. We don't make all of it.

A new galaxy? No way.

A new relay? Yessss. Remember, we've only actually explored roughly 1% of the stars in the Milky Way by this point, and the council prohibits activating dormant mass relays unless we know where they go.

Well, the Reaper Invasion could have opened a few up.

Excellent time to be a colonist.

Now. If those relays are deactive, they aren't destroyed in the literal ending!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
