Can the Reapers be Removed From the Equation?

I could deal with that

Isn't it broken the moment Shepard chooses whatever ending? Refuse on the other hand.....Its said that the next cycle uses the crucible
Was it that or was it for exploration purposes? They had no idea when the reapers would show up. So who is the one that issued the order to pack up and leave? Up until ME3 showed up, nearly everyone didn't believe in the reapers. For those ships to of been built, someone had to of known about the reapers for sometime believing there was no hope in stopping them.

That advanced tech would be found in Andromeda and not from the Milky Way
What security purpose would that be? Its a good chance they may come under fire when entering the Milky Way

If the folks that went to Andromeda  knew about the reapers, they could convince Andromeda aliens to help build a massive fleet that's much more powerful than the reapers. In 50 000 years, they head back to the Milky Way and crush the reapers.

For that to happen, the plans for the crucible are never found leaving our cycle to be harvested. Meaning the next cycle has no warning of the reapers to use the crucible since  our cycle never found the plans to it to begin with.

I would like to go back to the Milky Way to see how its doing and see the difference from when we left to what it looks like when we get there in the future

OK, let's take a crack at this...

Rumours or exploration?
Flynn said, in an interview, that the game starts with humans fleeing the MW galaxy.

Advanced tech
The reference to the advance tech is in the scenario where the Reaper Cycles starts over after the extermination of all the advanced species in the MW galaxy.

For example:
Javik's race was wiped out and the Asari were primitives then. 50K years later or so, the Asari climbed out of the "primordial slime " so to speak and became
sentient, discovered space travel and found the Citadel. Whereas, Humans from Andromeda start  with an advanced tech level of 50 and move forward.

In other words, in past countless Cycles, Repears only encountered species that went from 0 -50 in terms of tech level. At 50, the Reapers entered the picture.
Humans, on the other hand, survived at a tech level of 50 and continued  forward.

Security purpose?
Well, first, like it or not, the Reapers are a known destructive force. Flynn's statement that humans fled the MW confirms this. It makes sense to
gather intelligence information about the state of affairs in the MW galaxy. And, second, analyze that information and take whatever action
is necessary.  As to being attacked, I'm sure that stealth tech is well advanced by then.

The further away from Reaper logic, the better. Let's try again elsewhere with a different kind of threat that doesn't feel overworked and predictable.

Shortly after Ryder wakes up

crewmember: Sir. I have something on the scanner. You may want to take a look at this
Ryder: What I'm I look--------Wait a minute. Is that what I think it is?
crewmember:  It is sir. Those are the golden arches for a McDonalds restaurant.
comms officer: Sir? We're being hailed from the surface.
Ryder: This is Commander Ryder of the Tempest. Who are we talking with?
person on surface: me? My name is themikefest. About time you guys showed up
Rdyer: About ti---What are you talking about?
themikefest: I don't have all the answers, but after the threat was taken care of in the Milky Way, we decided to let you know the Milky Way is safe
Ryder: Safe? From what? How long have you been here?
themikefest: I've been here all my life. We first arrived, actually my great-grandparents, about 200 hundred years ago. As I said. Waiting for you to show up. If you want more answers, the mayor can fill you in. Another thing is if you're in need of any supplies, there's a Walmart near my position.
Ryder: Who's the mayor and what city is this?
themikefest: The mayor answers to TIM and the name of the town is Arkville
Ryder: Thank you themikefest. I think. Ryder out.
crewmember: That...was......interesting
comms officer: Sir. Where are you going with that hammer
Ryder: I'm going to hit my head to make sure this isn't some weird dream

We're never returning to the Milky Way. Full stop.

Bioware broke the galaxy and are too proud to admit it.

We will. Full steam ahead
Its not broken, Its just got a flesh wound that a few band-aids can fix.

Nope. Because "Your choices are important to us" At least when it suits them...




Not without canonizing something or reducing all choices to be completely meaningless.

I actually disagree with your statements on Destroy.

1) They would still have to canonize pre-ending choices, such as whether geth, krogan, or quarians still exist. They could try to retcon all of these, but no matter how they could do it, it would lessen the meaning of those choices. It would also just feel cheap.

2) Even outside the considerations of pre-ending choices, this is a problem. If the future is peachy in Destroy, it retroactively suggests that Destroy was a better decision. If the future is terrible, the opposite is true. How they present the futures of those choices would change perception of those choices for the players, which I think would be detrimental to ME3 certainly, and possibly the MEU in general. If they don't want to answer discussions on which choice is better, they can never present the consequences of those choices.

Basically, they made the only choice they could for continuing the series, and the only way forward is to keep moving in new directions.

possibly , or after 1000 years of evolution going by leaps and bounds thanks to  Remnants  tech they could be way ahead of the MW people in spite of whatever Reaper tech those might have access to . 

but i like your PoV . 

How was Graceland ? 

Refuse might as well be an entirely different franchise, since every single familiar species is dead. I'd rather not play Oddworld Effect. 

No, the return to the Milky Way by the species that leave before the refuse ending accomplishes exactly that - our cycles' species (at least the ones that made it on the Ark), return to the MW.

When they get back to the MW,  they either help the current cycle defeat the Reapers; or if they get there after the current cycle has already used Liara's Beacons and defeated the Reapers, they merely join the current species further exploring the MW.

Either way, refuse ends up with our cycles' species back in the MW, with the Reapers defeated.

Plus I get to shoot that little bastard.
