So with all the Reaper ships dead we have a lot of Reaper ships laying around, or floating around, what do you think will happen to them? Seems a shame to let them all go to waste.

People, organisations, states etc would try and grab bits of them for study. The council would make a law to try to control it making it illegal to experiment or own them without a permit. Black markets would pop up to sell them. It would be chaotic and dangerous for years to come. Lots of new stuff would be learnt from them.

There is going to be a hell of an arms/research race going to happen. The most major powers in the galaxy were also the ones that took the most heavvy losses during the war. I don't think Shepard's alliance of races will hold long beyond the end of ME3. The war leveled the playing field and now, everyone will be out to carve the biggest slice of the pie they can for themselves. With all the fleets and most of the dead reapers in the vicinity of earth, there will be a massive cleanup and salvaging operation going on but while everyone pretends to work together, they all will try to get an edge for themselves and get their hands on as much reaper tech as possible (they all know the salarians will do it and they'll at the very least need to keep up).

Basically, I think the destroy ending already sets up the stage for the next big war. It will be a cold one for a while but at some point, all it will need is someone to light a match.

 

EDIT: The council will not be able to do a dam thing, btw. With the citadel in pieces and -more importantly - orbiting earth and thus no longer a neutral location, the council has lost it's base of operations. Also, the established councilors and their entourage are most likely dead. It will take them some time to reorganize (if that happens at all and it will most certainly not be in the old form). However long that takes and whoever will sit on the new council, they won't be able to do anything about the direct aftermath of the war.

The old guys line at the end also bugs me, when he turns to the kid and says, "Okay, one more story", the hell is he on about? Shepard is dead, right? How can he tell him one more story?

That's just the "we got DLCs for you" line. I wouldn't read too much into that.

You know whats uncomfortable about the old man telling the kid the story of The Shepard? Telling him about the times Shepard had sex with his/her LI.

Would be hilarious if in a sequel Mass Effect Next we'll get the good old "Ah, yes, Reapers" from the Council

In fact I seem to recall it saying this happened after Soverin was estroyed, and it really didn't work too well then.

Samantha Traynor will open her own company and call it Checkmate Industries. The dead reapers will be melted down to build the buildings used to help rebuild the alliance fleets. She will have 10 000 employees working for her. Femshep will stay at home and take care of the kids and cook

I'm not saying it would work well, in fact quite the opposite. I just said black markets would be set up to sell pieces. There would be a huge underground market of genuine and counterfeit reaper technology. But the council would still want to try control it as much as it can, by making it illegal to most entities. Sovereign would have been easy in comparison because the Reaper wrecks, although concentrated in Sol, would be spread out across the entire galaxy. 

 

It wouldn't just be limited to Reapers. There would be so much top secret technology littered across various planets in ruins. No species would want others rummaging around their crashed spaceships. The Geth units would be of particular interest as well, would the Quarians try and claim them all?

 

It's a fascinating question about what happens after.

The mytical hero who saved the galaxy millennia ago.... We have dismissed that claim.

 

 

Seriously i like to imagine they were used as raw material to rebuild the mass relays.

What I was saying is  I think yes they would do it and the results would ultimately imitate the original atempt.

My headcanon theory is that 'The Shepard' is a different 'character' from Commander Shepard, so we still get one more story about him in the next game, but its not 'Shepard', but 'The Shepard', giving Bioware an out. Because ME3 ending was a dream mixture of several things.

 

Or maybe its just a DLC advert.

 

Or maybe its nothing. WHATEV.

Sit on my knee, child, and I shall tell you the tale of 'The Claiming Of The Priiize'.

The Reaper wrecks will be salvaged and reverse engineered. There will be probably be as great or greater of a technological leap forward as there was after humanity discovered Prothean tech on Mars.

 

With both the Catalyst and the Reapers annihilated there would no longer be any risk of indoctrination, as the 'voices' that once commanded indoctrinated thralls are now forever silenced. Having said that, with all that reverse engineering there is a possibility that the civilizations of the galaxy would also unlock the ability to indoctrinate. Actually given that Cerberus and Henry Lawson already made that breakthrough in ME3, its probably guaranteed. That would raise the risk of some ne'er do wells without the galaxy's best interests at heart, possibly using that technology for their own ends.
