Yes, definitely I want to see all endings and possible outcomes. Right now I am on my second playthrough of ME2. I have one question though: What is EMS? i keep seeing this mentioned but I don't know what that is. I'm glad you've enjoyed your playthroughs as I have so far. Take care! Its your War Asset rating which effect the ending you get. You can check the physical number in the War Asset Terminal in the War Room....there is a lot of war going on in this sentence. Oh so that's what that is. In my last playthrough it was pretty high, but not as high as I wanted it to be. Thanks for the clarification.

I have one question though: What is EMS? i keep seeing this mentioned but I don't know what that is. I'm glad you've enjoyed your playthroughs as I have so far. Take care! Sorry, that's a term from the old ME3. It was a percentage of TMS (capped at 50% if you didn't raise it by playing ME3 multiplayer or later there was a website you could go to in order to raise it). When they released MELE and decided there was not going to be a multiplayer, they eliminated EMS and just made the ending requirements based on your TMS (total military strength) per the War Assets terminal. EMS stood for Effective Military Strength. Oh okay I knew there was a military strength bar but could not recall the name. Thanks!

The war asset thread explains what ems is as well as TMS. Effective military strength and total military strength With the release of the remaster, ems and tms are equal. There is no more galactic readiness anymore since readiness is at 100% instead of 50% like it was when ME3 was released.

Don't argue synthesis. It is the most controversial subject on these boards and never turns out well. I know where I stand but I don't dare mention it without it turning to shit. Unfortunately, I allow myself to go down pretty low in the discussions so best to avoid entirely. Oh I know, I won't be getting into any arguments here. FTR, I have tried all three. Never did Refusal but that's like committing suicide for the entire galaxy. And while Shepard may hope for the best there's no guarantee in that moment that the cycle won't just continue on for another billion years. Only one choice worked for me.

Wrex is a prick and he's not part of the "legend" crew. Ideally he gets virmired in the first game for raising his gun on Shepard. The genophage arc in 3 is better with Wreav anyway
Femshep is vastly overrated. She's not believble as a character, and most of her fans are insufferable.
Meer does a terrific job voicing Shepard and is far better than his counterpart Jennifer hale.
Shooting mordin is justified.
Me3s ending isn't bad at all. Especially with the extended cut. I'd like to see all the haters write and execute a better one.
Customs Shepard's suck. Sheploo for life.
Romancing aliens is disgusting.
Anderson is an annoying high and mighty stooge.
Ashley/Kaidan are up there with the best squadmates/characters in the series. Far better than Liara/Garrus/Tali etc

Believe it or not there are actually fish in the Presidium.
Krogan testicle grafts really do increase fertility.
The Asari who fought Wrex on the merc-filled space station was not Aria.
The Quarian and the Turian in Illium having their Private con-ver-sayshion rank among the best characters in the entire franchise.
Administrator Anolais actually had a point.
Kasumi is an absolutely terrible thief.
Believe it or not, it is possible to complete ME:2 without scanning every single planet to 'depleted' level.

Saving the council is better than not saving the council. Even on renegade runs. Having the same councillors across all three games is better and more consistent than just having random replacements you have no history with in 3. Plus it's a good " I told you so" moment when the reapers finally arrive.
Tali and liara are not good romance options for male Shepard. They both just seem like naive, insecure teenagers who I can't picture any Shepard being attracted too.
Jack is kinda hot for a chick with no hair. I always casual bang in two.
Physical supremecy Trump's biotics every time. I always side with James in citadel. My solider shep is proof of that. Not one biotic has defeated my shepard in combat.

I too save the Council though there were many times I wanted to let Sovereign destroy them. As for Tali and Liara. I always looked at Tali as a kid sister. Liara is the same too in ME1, but I do romance her in ME3. I feel she's less naive and innocent in ME3.

Here are two from me: 1) I like Mass Effect 3. 2) I like both Samantha and Kelly. I don't think it's that unpopular. Depending where you look, ME3 had really high ratings.
Kelly and Samantha are both good. Initially, I was actually comparing Kelly to Chakwas and the Engineers. She got all scared and wouldn't come back to the SR2 but the others did. Then I realized it's because she's a civilian. The others, whatever type of rank they hold, are military trained. Even stacking against Traynor, the same is true. I always did like Kelly so I think she deserves the like. Though I haven't actually got there yet I already did everything to save Kelly in ME3. That is a super mild spoiler but just in case someone who's never got there will get a mild surprise.

Garrus is nothing more then a Mall Cop Until ME2 when he fends off three mercenary groups for a while. I don't think mall cops typically fight rival gangs roaming the malls.

Garrus is just ok. Bioware pushing him as your best bud is annoying. Him frequently spamming his buzzwords are the main reason why people like him. And him being an unapologetic Shepard cheerleader.
Liara is a terrible character and should die.
Tali is a little sister rather than a romance.
I am now becoming more and more ok with little Wrex die and dooming the Krogan.
Jack's redemption arc in ME3 is atrocious and poorly written. No one can have that much of a turn around after what she experienced. Especially after 6 months and a few pep talks. Her getting off scot free from all her crimes is... well a crime.
I always save Kaidan over Ashley regardless of gender. He's a better love interest overall and is a better friend to my male Shepard over Garrus.
Ashley is good in ME1,but offers nothing in ME3 outside of her discount Miranda looks. Even as a squadmate she is unnecessary since Garrus and Vega already exist. Her story is also unremarkable and taken from Miranda.
Aliens are over-rated as hell and are basically humans in a costume. Their culture, behavior, and mannerisms are incredibly human to the point its becomes unbelievable.
Hale can sound incredibly dull and over acts in many scenes where Meer's understated deliveries work well. This probably isn't unpopular though as male Shepard is still largely preferred. But you definitely see a lot more shrieking femshep fans that constantly put Meer down. These people need to get lost.

It's very understandable why the Virmire Survivor doesn't trust Shepard in 2 and the beginning of 3 Probably dialogue options to actually persuade the VS would have been useful. It was intentionally bad as an excuse to leave the VS behind. The VS could easily have said that while they trust Shep, they can't quit the Alliance to join Cerberus. Really simple thing to do. The whole thing around Chakwas and Joker is just ridiculous. Both of them would have been court-martialed. Does anyone think a person could take a leave of absence to join a terrorist organization? Shepard has a ton more leeway due to being a Spectre but no one else does. And the way things were left at the beginning of ME3 we can assume that the people who allegedly trusted Shepard, but regardless locked him up without a word or any mention that they believed him or even spoke to him about the Reaper, were not going to accept that any of them had accompanied him on a secret Spectre mission. That was an enormous plot hole in ME2 that carried over into ME3. The Geth-Quarian War arc in 3 is possibly the most poorly written and executed plotline in the series other than the Reaper plotline itself. The "ideal" ending shouldn't exist, either, as others have pointed out. Ideal? Is that the fairy tale ending? The one where Space Magic turns machines into organic beings? The one that says synthetics don't actually count because they're only valid if they're organic? Yes, it was absolute crap. Science fiction can push some boundaries but this is literally fantasy. It's the equivalent of a deity coming down from the sky, molding a person from clay and making it live.
