Everyone seems to think that the plotline of ME3 is going to be ANOTHER round of recruiting, but that this time, you'll be recruiting factions from a list instead of people...Give me a freaking break!
Did any of you see that final cutscene? Soviergn wasn't BSing you when he said "Our numbers will darken the skies of every world."
If the Reapers actually arrive in the Milky Way, we're f**ked, even with the forces of the entire galaxy united, there's no way that we could even take on a small portion of the Reapers...If your enemy is a race thousands of years more advanced than you, and he outnumbers you, your screwed.
If they ignore that fact though, and do the "Unite the galaxy against the Reapers" BS, Mass Effects story will go in the same bin as pocahontas, err I mean "Avatar." A retarded story where a bunch of tribal hippies beat a space age military force, in fact, it would be worse. In this case, it would be a space age military beats a post singularity biomechanical type 3 civilization even when hopelessly outnumbered, rather than a bunch of mercenary soldiers outnumbered 100:1 against bow wielding hippies.

Do you guys really think Mass Effect 3 is going to be Dragon Age in space?

It's doubtful they outnumber every ship in the galaxy, in which case uniting every race would give you the best odds, among other factors like research, collector ship technology, geth war, etc.

While having new squadmates is very interesting, it would somewhat "blow" if 80% of the game consisted of recruiting. It would be nice to see something unique and different. Just my 2 cents.

The Reapers themselves stated that they fear a united galaxy, also did you also think the ending of ME1 was like Avatar? The underdog defeating the mighty intimidating enemy wasn't invented by Pocahontas, it is an archetype that has existed far before that and honestly if you want to strip down any story to its core archetypes even the original Mass Effect wasn't any different.
It is how they accomplish this that would set them apart.

That's what ME2 was and it was pretty fun

If you think recruiting forces will not be a part of ME3, you really haven't been paying attention in the first two parts.
Hint: You've been already doing it.

I think that Mass Effect 3 will sort of fallow the DAO faction recruitment, which is no problem in my opinion, I liked DAO a lot, but I don't think it's going to be the galaxy versus the reaper fleet, I think it will be your allies that you recruit combine into a fleet and go attack some heavily fortified mass effect relay that the reapers plan to jump their fleet through and assault the galaxy. You have to gather allies so you have a chance to destroy the heavily fortified relay before It can be built or used or something like that, but that is just what I hypothesize might be a possible plot for the third game, and I’d be down with that.

You know what? Sovereign got his assed kicked by a bunch of cruisers. Cruisers!
Send in the dreadnoughts! Reapers are going down!

Mika: under no circumstance should a race ever loose a war if it has an 8000 year technology advantage over its enemy, let alone the 20,000,000 year or so advantage the Reapers have. The ending to mass effect 1 was a well reasoned fight against seemingly impossible odds (rather than the pathetic reasoning behind the outcome in Avatar), it took an entire alliance fleet to take down Sovereign even with its shields down, even assuming they could have killed Sovereign without Shpeards help (if they had time), that still means a fleet for each Reaper. And seeing as there are literally enough Reapers to "darken the sky of every world." we're f**ked if they show up.

Apparently not. Sovereign just came in and beat the citadel fleet down so hard, I've actually wondered whether he even needed his big Geth army to blow the **** out of everyone.

You forget about the tech we gathered from sovereign, as well as the reaper's entire tactic for victory was shutting down transportation and communication via the relays...

All Shepard has to do is build a huge wall right outside the galaxy filled with Thanix cannons. Problem solved.

I didn't say a lot of cruisers didn't die too.
Though according to the Codex the Alliance lost only about 8 to Sovereign. 8? For a big bad Reaper? Pathetic!
The battle outside doesn't count that much by the way, Sovereign had Geth help.. and guess what? The Geth are gonna be kicking Reaper butt too. Hooray!

Right, because the Destiny Ascension wasn't the largest dreadnought in known space.

If all goes well one day you'll be eating your words without knowing it.
@The AngryOne: Soviergn would have obliterated the entire alliance fleet if shepard hadn't stunned it.

Which was being assaulted by the entire Geth fleet, not Sovereign alone.
And still lasts long enough to be saved by the Alliance.

If soviergn had fired a shot at the Acension, it would have one shotted the dreadnought.
"Its main gun could easily penetrate the kinetic barriers of another dreadnought."= Dead council if Soviergn felt like it.

By the way, Avatar isn't Pocahontas, it's Dances With Wolves(In Space).

Right, because the combined Alliance defense fleet didn't get totally smashed up before they arrived, including the Destiny Ascension, a ship which dwarfs any dreadnought in the Alliance navy.

If you say so, to keep up the pace as it was it would be expending a whole lot of energy.
I really doubt it's shields dropped solely because you killed it's avatar unless Sovereign was designed by a complete idiot.
