It is not an in game canon. It is the twitter canon. I just watched the refuse ending on Youtube. It doesn't mention that they used the crucible. That is someone's head canon.


Twitter canon means head canon to you?

What does heads have to do with Twitter?

Which means you never read my post that you quoted.

I did, you're saying they didn't fight a war. Which isn't entirly accurate, what they said is that they "didn't have to fight a terrible war", which doesn't mean the next cycle didn't fight, just that the war wasn't very devestating since they were prepared for it. You're are trying to use this suggest that this statement is proof the next cycle used the crucible. Again there's no garuntee they did, they could have used the advanced warning to develop different a weapon since they didn't sit around on their asses till the last minute like our cycle did. They never said they won because they used the Crucible.

I edited my post. You included the stargazer scene. It's different on that one.

There is no mention of them using the crucible or anything like that. That was done via Gamble on Twitter. That is what everyone is mentioning. Thus Gamble's head canon is "they used the crucible." Well that would imply they found the archives early on in the cycle built the thing, attached it to the Citadel and fired it while the reapers were in dark space.

Damn, I shouldn't have posted this just before I had to leave, too much to reply to and frankly, some of these posters don't even deserve a response...

So I'll just say this.

Good topic. Refuse is the best choice if you consider ME3 to be RPG-game.

In RPG you are playing character while "being him". With this knowledge in mind you should look at the choices from Shepard's point of view.

1. Shepard does NOT know if the catalyst is telling the truth or no. All he gets is the possibility to toss a coin and choose one of three choices that may as well doom everyone.
2. Shepard worked really hard for YEARS to achieve the victory. He assembled squad, cheated death, tried to help everyone and convince them that the Reapers threat is true. He gathered allies in ME3 so the question is: "Does he trusts in his own hard work?"

In short: By refusing shepard is not choosing to do nothing. He simply chooses to believe in his own hard work, in his allies and that it is enough to win the war with the Reapers. He again chooses to toss a coin to get a small chance of victory, but by doing so, this time he also chooses to trust in others and has the thing called "hope".

All your posts brightened up my day, as you all at least have the empathy enough to understand the choice even if you don't accept it.

Refuse

Yes, she says that, but also about the information, so either the crucible, or whatever else Liara put in the beacon, so in a sense, that equals victory.


- "We built the Crucible, but it did not work."
- Next cycle goes and uses Crucible.

- Seems legit.

All wars are terrible, especially ones against the Reapers. As you can see, you can interpret that section in different ways.

I wasn't suggesting it was proof of anything except that they didn't fight, I said it's implied they used the Crucible as it's the most advanced weapon in history, more than one cycle could create.

Refuse is the only ending that guarantees Admiral Steven Hackett's death. If I must doom the entire galaxy to kill him, I will. Natural selection demands that something as appallingly idiotic and incompetent as Hackett (and his kin) must never be allowed to pass on its genes to future generations.

Jade, I can understand your point. I didn't used to agree with the refuse option, but you know it's a what the hell. Fight it out. I didn't assemble this rag tag band together to pick something the reapers say: "here pick one of these three fates, because the one we're doing now isn't going to work."

So Glowboy, If it isn't going to work why should I pick one of these others? what's in it for me? And you're in a hurry for me to pick one of these others? You sound like a vacuum cleaner salesman.

"Joker, pick me up. This crucible is DOA."

Edited due to lack of blood sugar <_<

Yes it is.

Refuse is the coward's way out. You're not fighting for freedom. You're not fighting for "what you believe is right". You're letting every advanced sentient being in the galaxy die because you're crying about compromising your precious morals.

Shoot the damn tube and be done with it.

And what exactly is it that Hackett does that is so 'idiotic'?

The first complaint is petty and stupid. Pretty much every RPG in existence features a threat that can be held off in favor of doing sidequests. Sidequests that the BSN has been constantly and continually requesting, need I remind you.

Secondly, there seems to be some implication here that there's some magical instant-win stratagy that Hackett just isn't smart enough to figure. If it's so obvious, maybe you should fill me in on what exactly the Alliance should be doing? The Crucible is probably built mostly by construction drones and such and fewer than a thousand highly skilled specialists. Not a big difference in a galaxy of trillions.

My point was that the post you apparently didn't read.....

The next cycle win without war, implying they used some sort of superweapon, most likely the Crucible as it's the most advanced one in history and is sitting there ready to be built.


... had nothing whatsoever to do with any tweet. If you want to say this is a bad argument that's one thing, but you didn't engage with the argument at all.

I agree that building a Crucible before the war ever got started would be a good way to win without getting involved in a terrible war. That's my interpretation of the Refuse ending, though it's theoretical since none of my Sheps are stupid enough to pick Refuse.

I guess this post proves that I lack empathy, huh?

Well, linking to a joke thread in response to a question isn't all that effective a way to convince someone of a point. 

Maybe that does make you a Reaper. The Catalyst's arguments are notoriously ineffective.

Back in my day they didn't call it refusal, they called it being too slow to make up your mind and letting the reapers destroy the crucible.
