Rumours of Mass Effect Trilogy Trilogy Remaster: What would you like to see?

I am sure that many versions of Shepard would love to do that. Others would rather hack the Starbrat to be their slave

In a way there is, shooting the tube.

It wasn't that line, but a lot of it's dialogue. To that line it said. it tells me it doesn't know who/what created the plans. It says it only knew about it for several cycles yet Vendetta says the plans have been passed down millions of years. If thing thought the concept was removed, then did it have the same problem for the last several cycles trying to get rid of it? Because ME3 is the best place to start playing a trilogy, the crucible never existed until the plans are found at the beginning of ME3. I would also guess the prothean cycle were the only ones to have made any attempt to build it.

Another excuse for that line is Bioware is telling the player they have no idea about the origins of the plans. They thought it would be cool to put in the game.

The other bits of dialogue from thing is...yeah sure...whatever you say. If it's preserving organics in reaper form, then why are they put in harm's way? It would be safe to say that when the first reaper was destroyed, the solution thing was using didn't work. But it didn't change because it's programming wouldn't let it.

When talking about red, it says the chaos will return. Are you sure thing? Have you ever skipped a harvest to find out? When talking about the blue, it hesitates for a brief moment saying it would be forced to be replaced by Shepard. Sounds like it doesn't want that to happen. Then along comes green. I really believe the green was put in for comedians to use for their opening act to give the audience a good laugh. Thing butters green up. It can't be forced yet it's Shepard forcing it on the galaxy. It's the final evolution of all life. How does it know that? 

It all started with Leviathan. They suffer from politician syndrome, the big head, believing everything they say and do without considering what the consequences might be. So all the species over the last billion plus years have to suffer because of them.

That's why using Hackett''s ending would be far better than what is currently in the game. It get's rid of all the above nonsense. One thing is what explanation would be given about the intelligence? When Hackett is in the hospital visiting Shepard, Shepard mentions Leviathan talking about an intelligence yet never encountered it when on the Citadel. That could be the next mission for Shepard, or a new main character, to track down this intelligence and destroy it. 

Oh man. Imagine installing Vista on Starkid. All the Reapers would just bluescreen. Galaxy fucking saved.

How long would that moment last? Since it would be a one shot thing, the only thing that would happen is the reapers suffer more casualties. Once that moment is gone, their defenses fire back up. Depending on how long that moment is, it may have no effect. The fleets are seen retreating when the crucible fires. How long will it take for them to realize the reaper shields are down? By the time they figure it out, that moment is likely come and gone.

If it's like what happens with Sovereign, then I say the reapers would become completely useless without being fired on. Sovereign wasn't able to do anything after it's defenses were disabled. It basically lost all power.

If taking down the shields is a permanent thing, they still would win because they have the numbers. If Leviathan never happened, I would agree the possibility of defeating the reapers might be possible, but Leviathan gave the player information of how many reapers there might be.  One way the fleets could defeat the reapers is if the shields are down permanently, is to have all fleets go system by system to deal with the reapers since the reapers are spread out all over the galaxy. Essentially use the reapers tactic by winning by overwhelming numbers. One downside to that is how long will it take for the reapers to realize that before they gather all their ships to go after the fleets?

I would have eldritch abomination that is doubles as a eldritch location would be in dark space and tying leviathan in meeting this eldritch abomination

That's always been one of my complaints about ME3.  If the plot revolves around using a magic wand why does forming a alliance matter? And why would the effects of the magic wand differ based on these things. Just build the damn thing and use it, who cares is a bunch of crickets, turtles, frogs and angry blue ladies hate you.  If the entire story is to build a army, the army should have some plot relevance.

The MET has been using magical plot points since ME2, so it's no surprise that the trend wouldn't continue into ME3.

If the reapers have the same number as the galaxy, then it might be possible for them to be defeated. That all depends on how long that moment you mentioned lasts.

Another thing I should have mentioned in my post is what would the fleets do if the reapers retreat to darkspace, knowing they might be defeated, to repair themselves? While they're being repaired, they come up with a countermeasure to avoid their shields/barriers to drop.

That is the thing I've never understood from defenders of the "They are too powerful!" camp. 

If you honestly expect me to believe, that the Reapers have, literally, the numbers to darken the sky of every world, as Sovereign suggested, and as implied by ME3....then WHY in gods name, did they EVER fucking bother with the Citadel Relay trap? "To conserve energy obviously!" I've heard before...why? the energy they burned getting here using FTL made absolutely no fucking difference. "To make the invasion easier" is another famous rebuttal. While this is not an untrue statement, it's missing the forest for the trees. If you literally have the numbers to invade EVERY SINGLE PLANET IN THE ENTIRE GALAXY AT THE SAME TIME, COMMITING A DOZEN CAPITAL SHIPS AT LEAST TO EVERY CAPITAL WORLD, why the fuck would you ever bother with strategy, or tactics? The whole point of the Relay trap was to divide the galaxy, to prevent an organized defense, which implies that the Reapers consider an organized defense a serious threat to their success, otherwise they wouldn't do that, period. Ignoring the fact that it's mathematically impossible to invade the ENTIRE GALAXY AT THE SAME TIME, unless you literally have like a BILLION ships. I want you to honestly think about how huge the galaxy actually is. 




I'm sorry, if your gonna step to me with that "Nah bruh, you can still use tactics if you have superior numbers, and I have proof from ancient battle x, y and z to prove my point" Well congrats, you're not wrong, you CAN. But the Reapers wouldn't, because in their eyes we are bacteria, Harbinger literally said that in ME2. Do you imply a big strategy to destroy an ant hill? to kill the bacteria of your bathroom with cleaning solution? No, you just wipe that weak ass shit away. If the Reapers are NO REALLY, ACTUALLY this stupidly powerful, then the Citadel Relay trap is complete and utter hogwash. The opposite is also true. If the Reaper's went through all that trouble to create that trap to begin with, that means, definitively, when the Relay Trap was written, the Reapers were NOT this stupidly powerful, and Sovereign was full of crap. Again, going back to the franchise having no plan at all.

Too late as opposed to what? ME 3 implies it does not fucking matter if you know their coming or not. It makes zero fucking difference. The galaxy knew the Reapers were coming and get steamrolled regardless. The Relay trap is the most worthless waste of resources I've ever seen.

EXACTLY! This is what I think they should have done. Once you knock out their shields the reapers would get torn apart and it would work. Even if it didn't destroy every single reaper it would destroy the vast majority and then make the victory possible.
