I know I'd scrap it. I know I have a list of requirements for the nonconventional solution that would replace it. And of course, the conventional victory I would want to have alongside it.

Can you share it? I want to see it

A nonconventional solution not revealed until ME 3.
No significantly effective preparations made until ME 3. (Although great progress can be made in weakening the Reapers before ME 3.)
A conventional victory and nonconventional solution alongside each other.
Shepard working on conventional assets and the nonconventional solution in parallel throughout ME 3, with the conventional victory hinted at but only ultimately revealed at the very end.
The nonconventional solution not going to waste somehow.
Both the conventional and nonconventional solutions being avaliable directly as a result of Shepard.
Conventional victory attained by Shepard in a single moment of great skill, willpower, or truth.

This is stupid nonsense.

No.

Actually, I don't think David's idea is bad. Oh gods my face is on fire!

Each bonus applies to only one character, but each character is different. Putting all the points on Liara and Garrus, like I would, means I don't have a powerful EDI or James. 

Someone who puts bonuses on all four, though, has a more balanced team of characters available. 

So whilst you're right when you say you'd only get a small fraction of the bonuses if they're spread out, you get other bonuses a person who stacks does not. 

Comprende?

What I comprehend is that this heavily favors your personal playstyle. Didn't you say you only use two characters anyway?

What's wrong with an unconventional victory?

Off the top of my head I can't think of an awesome scenario but if I had the time I could figure out a way to link each of the major choices into one or more unconventional methods of dealing with the Reapers.

Seriously "uniting the galaxy" doesn't even feel that rewarding in ME3. You didn't change the galaxy's attitude. People are only working together because Shepard played politician and met their demands.

Shepard should've been able to beat the Reapers w/ his heroism alone using the characterization of his retinue of women around him.

What's with this with exhaust pipe? My memory is fuzzy.

The photon torpedo attack at the end of SW: A New Hope.

The only problem I have is that this is kind of vague. Would you have the Reapers less powerful in your version of the game?

Not significantly, no.

Liara, Liara, Liara,  and Liara?

That's petty to the point of being inconsequential. The characters are all able to handle different threats and enemies. EDI and Tali have do have an advantage against geth, but it would utterly pale compared to ten or twenty 30% bonuses stacked on top of one another.

And this is actually what happens on Rannoch. Suddenly the destroyers have a vital weak spot when they were seemingly unstoppable before.

Not significantly, no.

How would you propose they eliminate the Reapers? Stronger weapons? Guerilla tactics?

Just use the Blue Xeno's polt armour, it can take on anything!

I don't. So why would I like this plan?

Conventionally? A variety of ways. Mostly centered on successful battles involving Shepard. Certainly no magic weapons or magic tactics. In fact, I find the constant requests for more thanix guns on the BSN rather ridiculous, and if anything would scale them down within the story.

[Jorji Costava]

Well, I'd probably change a whole lot, but I'll limit myself to this: I would have dropped the Collectors altogether, or at least given them a vastly reduced role in ME2. We're given minimal reason to care about what they're doing; we've never been to any of the colonies they're abducting people from, and we don't know any of those people at all. They've got no personality or even agency to speak of; you can't really have any kind of interpersonal dynamic with them at all. Just not very compelling villains all around.

EDIT: Removed redundant phrase.

I'd make each game like ME2--slow plot that doesn't prod the player to finish as fast as possible, but allows you to take it slow and just explore the galaxy.

I'd do exactly the opposite -- take out the leisure and replace the fake urgency with real urgency.

[David7204]

Uh, no, not at all.
