Otherwise, really excited for ME3 and I'm hopefully they do a decent job at closing the series. If I heard right during the livestream that was done earlier today it's supposed to be the entire Quarian fleet in orbit. And the Quarian migrant fleet is supposed to consist of about 50,000 ships. Plus the entire battle wasn't shown. They're probably not going to spoil a fairly large set-piece like that. | ||

Otherwise, really excited for ME3 and I'm hopefully they do a decent job at closing the series. That was my thought in the E3 thread. I have a bad feeling about how are we supposed to kill the Repears... It took a fleet to kill one of them in ME1 There are dozens and dozens on them, if not more. There can't be enough fleets available. They might end up with the classical cheesy move where you infiltrate/attack one core thing/unit and, for some reason, it's enough to provoke a chain reaction that kills all the Repears. The Kinect thing seems a bit complicated to be put in the game so that is probably much less effort towards more important stuff and that is obviously bad imo. And by the way (I didn't read all the infos and fan reactions yet so...) did you notice those soldiers that shepard face in the trailer and gameplay ? They seem like 90% Batarians to me, which would explain why they put DLC Arrival and the fact that you cannot choose to not kill the Batarians (which would make them angry enough to join the Repears as indocrinated I guess ?). | ||

The soldiers in white armor are indoctrinated Cerberus, so they'll all be humans since Cerberus is supposed to be human only. However the things that look like Husks that you see during the Earth sequence, only bigger, are called Cannibals. They're supposed to be Batarians that got turned on the way to Earth, just like Husks are to humans. | ||

I strongly agree, this has been my main concern about the game. 3rd episodes in trilogies often disappoint, because the first two have built up to a climax that doesnt pay off. In this case, having the mystery and awesomeness of the Reapers ruined would be a way that can happen. They've wiped out countless intergalactic civilizations so Bioware had better convince me they're something actually capable of doing that. | ||

So far everything indicates that ME3 will be recruiting other civilizations to come to the aid of Earth rather then recruiting party members. Just hope the things you have to do to convince them to help dont feel contrived and that the game mantains a sense of urgency. Be pretty stupid if you're carrying out courier missions across the galaxy to win over allies while Earth is getting vaporized. | ||

I don't see how a Reaper defeat is possible without a deus ex machina. The Mass Effect team is talented though, just because I can't think of something good doesn't mean that they can't either. | ||

I bet you either the Geth or EDI give them a technical solution that will turn the tide. Sentient AI will be the final solution to defeating other sentient AI. | ||

They've wiped out countless intergalactic civilizations so Bioware had better convince me they're something actually capable of doing that. I think it is even more important that they are able to give a plausible motivation for the whole sentient life extermination business which would not be some sort of a Star Control 3 rip-off. + Show Spoiler [Star Control 3 plot] + In that game the basic story was pretty similar, a mysterious race of "Eternal Ones" with super advanced technology went across the galaxy once in a while and exterminated all sentient life. During the game it is discovered that the "Eternal Ones" are a race that evolved into a higher (as in pure energy) state of being, but they were "addicted" to the energy patterns produced by the thinking process of sentient beings, and those patterns were the strongest when a sentient being was being murdered. They kept "feeding" on sentient life by killing most of it once it was sufficiently evolved, and then let it evolve from the beginning once again. The final solution was for the player (with the help of all of the sentient races) to assemble a device that would harmlessly amplify the thought energy patterns valued by the "Eternal Ones" so that it would let them "feed" without having to kill anyone. | ||

The options are A) Shepard with the help of a dues ex machina saves the day and defeats the reapers B) An impasse occurs where neither side is destroyed C) All civilization is wiped out. C sucks for the player though it gives truth to what two games have built up, that Reapers are unstoppable. B People will be let down by an ending that wasn't an ending at all, despite it being plausible. A Don't forget to light the cigars AFTER the fat lady sings. You'll jinx the whole thing. Either Reapers aren't as strong as described or their countless years of destroying better civilizations than this one continues with another culmination of the cycle. What would you rather have? | ||

I haven't played ME or ME2 recently, but as I recall, the Reapers destroyed every single "better civilization" before this one by immediately seizing through surprise a certain sector of space that was... 1: The command-and-control post of every universe-spanning civilization. 2: The single most important mass effect relay node for interstellar travel. Even then, it took decades to centuries to eliminate said civilizations. In this case, the previous dead civilization made it impossible for the Reapers to seize command-and-control immediately, and the current civilization has had quite a few years to screw around with Reaper-level technology. And everyone knows about Reaper tricks like indoctrinated moles, even if the Council is too terrified to consider the threat directly. | ||
