Also, I doubt, and seriously hope against, uniting races to fight the epic fight. It's too much like Dragon Age and who wouldn't fight when ALL life in the galaxy is in such danger. Seriously. If anything, we will work with Anderson to convince others of the Reaper threat and they will willingly join us.



What I hope for through the game is Anderson is the one doing uniting, sending you on a couple of super side missions to help him out a little. Perhaps the reapes have more agents, a la Saren, that are trying to keep the uniting process from being successful and Anderson calls on us to take them out. I hope that the majority of Shepherds time is uses for missions that reveal all the secrets we don't know so far and to find an ace in the hole we can use to defeat the reapers, such as a virus or something else. There is still the keepers we know very little about and there is of course the reapers themselves we know nothing about. It would be much better IMO that we discover this by finding wreckages or pre-reaper sites that tell us and NOT dialog with the reapers. I think the reason Sovereign jerks us around with cop out answers was just hubris on his part. We fear what we don't understand and by giving us such answers that answer nothing and make the reapers even more unknown than before makes for a more feared enemy in the reapers. I would expect nothing less than from any of the other reapers.

Do you think the Quarians and Geth will ally with each other just like that?

If there's one thing mass effect has taught us, it's that with a high enough paragon/renegade score anything is possible

Haha, touche indeed.

Indeed! LOL

Let's face it, Shepard will just have to answer for this actions seven years later. Like Tony Blair before him, Shepard will have to face his own Chilcott enquiry (not passing judgement of the war so don't start, just trying my hand at satire).

[Combine08]

Well...everything we write here are speculations but I think that there won't be help from another Galaxy, it seems to be unlikely. I think we can already guess in which direction the story will go if you look at Mass Effect 1 and 2 again. Of course, every player will have a different scenario in 3 because of the choices he made in 1 and 2 but all the allies you found? They won't be worthless in ME3, as I said...there are enough hints.



It's pretty safe to say that there will be an epic "showdown" between the Reapers and the allies / major factions of the Galaxy. Imagine you spared Wrex. A good ally as clan leader. Then the Quarians (you can mention that they better safe the efforts for the Reapers and not the Geth), and the united Geth, it could even end up with peace between the Quarian and Geth(resulting in an even stronger ally)...then we have the Rachni too. Also, the Alliance will probably assist as soon as they notice, along with the Council. A full Reaper invasion should finally open their eyes, especially when it's still that same old alien Council. Aria might play a role too, she could be a good ally with her influence on Omega and maybe even the whole Terminus systems. Then there's Garrus. He was in the Turian military and C-Sec. I'm sure he'll point to some important people in ME3. You also know a few Asari...Liara for example, her connection with the Shadow Broker might be either a blessing or curse for the events in ME3.



Heck, if you really think about it...then you have connections (some indirect) to every major and some minor factions in the Galaxy. And then there's this Dark Energy stuff. Might be used as a potential weapon. As I said...I'm pretty sure that it will end with a big showdown.

They will not be beaten. Shepard's entire quest is an exercise in futility to elucidate the unstoppable force that is The Reapers. Stand by for assimilation.

[ReubenLiew]

If sci-fi movies have taught us anything, it will be done by a virus.

[VanguardtoDestruction]

In all seriousness Twitchmonkey, that should definitely be a possible ending. Bioware should make it difficult to save the galaxy, with some paths leading to our failure. That would at least give it the feel of how powerful the Reapers are.

[CreepingGeth]

I wouldn't mind if Twitchmonkey's post was actually the ending to this trilogy. In fact, I think I'd prefer it to a 'miraculously save the day' ending. I'd be fine with either as long as it's done well, but it'd cement the Reapers as some of the most menacing villains ever if their cycle continued.

Defnitely some of the most seemingly-impossible to defeat.  Sovreign's death showed up that you have to kill the 'essence' of a Reaper in order to destroy it's body.  When Sovreign possessed Saren's body, and you killed it, that was the precise moment the Citadel/human fleet managed to take it down.  I think this part has been overlooked somewhat.

[VanguardtoDestruction]

Or maybe CreepingGeth, Shepard will find out how to destroy the Reapers but fails to deliver it in time before our Fleets are decimated. He manages to use the device, and the Reapers are eliminated. However, let's assume that the Reapers were loose for a while after our Fleets were gone, and destroyed Earth and many other planets while Shepard looked for a way to utilize his weapon.

This way all that is left is Shepard, the Normandy, and various pockets of civilization. It then ends with Shepard sending a broadcast throughout the Galaxy saying something about how they will rebuild.

Or something like that.

Aye, I think that it would be a bold move to make a Reaper victory inevitable, though not likely a very marketable one. However, having the Reapers win in most situations and making a victory require careful planning and preparation would be something I would be interested in. It might be on the same level of difficulty as having no one die at the end of ME2, except the cost of failure would be the destruction of civilization as we know it. How's that for tension?

[Kwonnern]

Me3 will probably be Shep travelling across the Galaxy recruiting races (not just individuals) to help against the incoming Reaper-Fleet/Threat.



With a combined fleet of Quarians,Geth,Turians,Asari,Humans,Krogans,Salarians,Batarians and with the added "Here comes the Cavalry!" impressive Hanar-fleet at the end saving the day.

[xMister Vx]

In all honesty, I would rather have a head to head war. No benign ancients to help us, no talking or persuading the Reapers, or (god forbid) learning that they are hell-bent in "saving" the galaxy in our own way. Them just being an all-consuming cosmic horror would be refreshingly straightforward.



Of course, we can't fight them head to head, there's got to be a clever plan to do this, but I'd still like it to remain not too convoluted.

And then you set out and rebuild the galaxy's population with your love interest, which will be DLC.

Since they probably all have to be in the same place and the only Mass Relay designed for the is the Citadel, I think its likely that there is going to be some sort of Dark matter bomb that blows up the Citadel as the Reapers come through. Maybe it gets towed to one of these Dark Matter stars, or the energy gets funneled into the Citadel relay. Either way, I'm expecting the Citadel to be destroyed in the finale.

Except they're not using the Citadel to come to Milky Way.

I'm expecting every single choice to have a negative effect in ME3, which is why I'll do everything in my power to help the Illusive Man.

Brilliant.  We better send these ideas to Biowares writers pronto.

[Deltateam Elcor]

Sheperd will go in and punch each reaper in the face!

The ending being a Wrex/Sheperd loop.

I found this on the net, THE BEST IDEA, I TELL YOU ALL!

"Face it, people. All it'll take to get rid of the Reapers is introduce them to the ultimate dream team consisting of Conrad Verner, The Biotic God and Blasto. One look at them and the Reapers will run... or try to."

Haha...

"Enkindle this!"

as far as the "have dark matter make supernovas to whoop the reapers" plan, I'm not convinced a supernova would do anything but push them around. It didn't destroy the Mu relay, just pushed it into a distant system. Since said technology is that of the reapers, I think it'd have to take more. It is also mentioned that reapers are impervious to even dreadnought fire.

I don't think the reapers could survive a supernova.  They aren't made out of the same material as the Relays or the Citadel, as proven by the fact the old Normandy bore a hole through Sovereign's armor but the Mu Relay survived intact against the Supernova.

Oh...impervious to even dreadnought fire?

Well...****. We better thope that

a) Cerberus, the Geth or maybe the Quarians come up with a way to weaken them or at least their shields somewhat

the travel to the Milky Way from Dark Space will somehow make them weaker

c) a) and will both happen
