IT/Nightmare/Virtual Reality/Remake- The sooner we get to that beacone we can all wake up!

Imho, an IT-esque resolution would probably be the best course of action to take for a sequel. Yes, it invalidates our final choice, but it also eliminates the "problem area" that consists of everything after Shepard gets struck by Harbinger's beam and explains that it all happened in Shepard's mind.

Whether it was indoctrination or a hallucination due to Shepard being mortally wounded is academic. But basically, it gives the devs a good point to craft a new conflict.

As much as i would like an ending where everybody lives, what with how Epic the ME storyline was anyway, i think we all knew that the decisions we made wasn't going to end that way. It had to end with damaging consequences,...tho personally i thought it could've ended a more traditional way (not with some AI giving you some options) but with shepard struggling to get the crucible to work and struggling to make the right or best decision for the galaxy.

That said, i think destroy is the best scenario, from which the ME series can proceed....you can have shepard still alive and progress the story maybe 5-10 years later where everybody is still in the rebuilding process when they are hit with the next threat....it's just that with the ending of the "star-gazer" it seems like it puts the series so far into the future that it seems like shepard was already dead...and he probably was..

Anything is better than a prequel tho...

Shepard is either dead, dying or missing and nothing is going to change that or change the journey we all took part in that is the Mass Effect Trilogy.

Enjoy it for what it was, is and will be - it's a game that keeps on giving...

As for where Mass Effect goes from here, it's impossible to say. If Shep is going to be brought back from ashes(lol)/rubble... this all may have started on Eden Prime, but their Journey may have actually ended on Virmire.

You ever wonder where it all went wrong? Where suddenly NPCs are wearing the wrong clothing/Armor, suddenly there is a Krogan scientist (counter to Wrex saying none existed) and, in a facility run by Saren, there is a working beacon that he's obviously already used... Why - he was willing to nuke a city to destroy the other one. Why leave a working beacon anyware at all,ever.

...and if all the info was here on Virmire, why did he bother with EP?

There is so much more...

keep it up and people on BSN might finally wake up.  then egain......

Confidence born of ignorance. BSN cannot be broken. The cycle must continue. BSN? A label created by bioware to give voice to their creativity. In the end, what they choose to call us is irrelevant. We simply are. 

the force is strong with this one.

Nice poll. it had no acceptable option

Destroy with no retcons.

[JonathonPR]

Complete retcon of ME3 and ME2. The setting as it stands is dead. ME3 as a story was an explosion that destroyed the past and future of the setting. Like an imploding/exploding hyper white hole the only way to save the universe is to remove the anomaly.

[Erez Kristal]

Well me2 didn't destroy the setting. and I don't know if you checked the plot progress lately Jonathon. but we have managed to managed to solve the reaper problem In a way that keeps the reapers smart, strong and without needing to involve any space magic abilities.

I do agree about m3 though.

If we're going to go that far, let's retcon ME1 as well. That's where the problems started.

How so?

I think destroy. While being my second least favourite ending it is the ending that changes the least allowing for a sequel.

[Erez Kristal]

Alan, you should join our group. we could use another good critic, or more if you are interested.
The mass effect 3 story forums are past their prime nowadays.

Thanks, but I'm not sure I can take any more BSN in my life.

you think thats convenient?  watch choose wisely.  so many jumps in logic you'll get neck ache.  very good watch tho.  If true then all this debate about the endings is resolved by picking destroy - but not for the reasons you think.

[Erez Kristal]

I never understood the argument about destroy is rejecting the catalyst offer.
Refuse is the only one where you are truly rejecting what the catalyst is offering you to do.
If it understanding of the ending was true. then destroying the tube could lead to the reapers getting tired of humanity and just kill shepard once and for all.

[KaiserShep]

I guess this really depends on what you consider the Catalyst's offer to be. It insists that you'd be screwed in the long-run if you go this route, since the chaos will return, or some such nonsense. I see it as rejecting the premise that there would automatically be another uprising that would end with entire species being annihilated.

[Redbelle]

The galaxy has already broken the Catlyst's supposed 'best solution' that was the cycle. Now forewarned and forearmed with the knowledge. The galaxy can set forth into the future where..... wait for it......

It is not inevitable that all organic life will die to synthetics. Because the Catlayst is really just a genocidal version of this computer, who was never given a proper question to answer to start with.......

He'd have been better off just saying 42.

Though I noticed in the clip, Deep Thought is green.....Hmmmm

[TheMyron]

ME3 should have ended with Kai Leng's death, and ME4 be focused on "Retaking Earth", with all of you imported assets in view, and a bigger role for all of your squadmates, and a better post-war view of the galaxy and its survivors.
