The worst canon? Letting the Reapers win in 2186 (so the refuse ending). That being said, it would be a great setting for the next game, especially knowing that the AI was successful and the Arks got away in time. Kett could do what they do to prepare Andromeda for the Reapers and Ryder and company want to find out, what happened in the Milky Way...
As an intro for the Reapers winning, I would suggest this:

synthesis is canon, but instead of having the green glow, there will be a brown glow. The main character will be Captain Browneye.

I am not sure whether I can follow. Who's the Puppet Master Engineer? Afaik the Puppet Master is a character from Ghost in the Shell, specifically an AI, which basically choses the synthesis ending, if on a more personal level and with consent of the other involved party.

Afaik the Puppet Master is a character from Ghost in the Shell, specifically an AI, which basically choses the synthesis ending, if on a more personal level and with consent of the other involved party. In Mass Effect, my "Puppet Master Engineer" was an Engineer build in ME2 and ME3 that focused on AI Hacking/Sabotage, Dominate, Combat Drone, and Cryo Blast to control enemies, with the special power of Charm and the Blue Paragon Bar to convince people to do Shepard's bidding. ME2 build info here.) Now, instead of controlling just a few enemies at a time on the battlefield, the Puppet Master Engineer uses the Crucible to take control of the entire Reaper fleet. A Reaper fleet -- may I remind you -- that can indoctrinate other people to their will. Slowly but surely, the Puppet Master Engineer will bend the entire galaxy to Shepard's control. And when one galaxy is not enough, the Puppet Master Engineer will look outwards to other galaxies, starting with Andromeda...

After the war, the Salarians in their infinite wisdom stupidity decide to reverse-engineer a Reaper. The Reaper of course indoctrinates the scientists and soon the Reaper begins reaping the galaxy, making more Reapers. the other races are too busy trying to rebuild and no one notices until it is too late. The Reaper cycle begins anew...

INTOXICATION THEORY! "Think about it guys, just how many times in the game has alcohol been present. Off the top of my head I can think of the two bars on omega. the ships bar. drinking with the doctor. Tali getting drunk, Ashely getting drunk, implicating james vega was involved. On the upper part of the citadel, you shoot... bottles! Why are they shooting bottles instea dof drinking them, is garrus your sponsor? top of citadel = moral high ground. What does all this mean? What is bioware trying to say?! It is my firm belief that mass effect 3 never happened. You see, theres a scene in the omega bar where a man gives you concotion and you awaken in an alley of vorcha. now bioware made sure the vorcha talked about how they wanted to eat some fresh meat. why? why would they give us this clue. They wouldnt, unless it meant something! you always see mordin behind a counter, everytime you see him, a counter? or a bar. because he is a bartender. he mixes shepard's drinks. why? because someone else mgiht have gotten it wrong. Why so many references to booze? what does it all mean? I submit to you that the entirety of events that follow that moment are nothing more than the boozed fueled hallucinations of commander shepard. if any of that happened the vorcha would have eaten shepard while he was passed out, obviously. therefore it didn't. I anxiously await the hangover dlc, so we can finally get these questions answered! First of all this is NOT INDOCTRINATION THEORY. indoctrination theory is nothing but a bunch of people taking a theme of the game and applying facts completely out of context to support a very unlikely idea. We don't do that here only facts! edit: why are there no fat people? beer googles. why is it called a reputation BAR? why are everyones eyes so glassy? because they are drunk. crucible, galatic super weapon or alarm clock? notice the colors of the booze in normandy's bar, red and blue. this clearly symbolizes shepards morality being affected by booze as the story continues. Why do we never see tali's alleged straw, why would they leave out showing us the straw unless it was a clue that it wasnt real? think about it. red sand is a brand of alcohol that gets mentioned through out the games. that volus guy, niftu cal, that guy was druuunk. The Illusive Man smokes cigarettes, people often smoke cigarettes in... bars. bars where they drink... alcohol. it all makes sense. Marauder Shields was a bouncer, trying to tell you that you've had enough. or was he part of shepards addiction not letting him leave (wake up) you decide! what about husks, cybernetic creatures or drunken patrons running away from something (what bioware tell us!) which makes more sense?! are they alcoholics trying to take your booze? Do they simply want to dance? Posted Image Hold the wine! Because otherwise we'd have to accept that all those events actually happened, and that's enough to drive a man to drink. Please share any clues i might have missed so we can piece this epic mystery together! You have opened my eyes. Bioware has made an epic and timeless ending by going where no one else has gone before and at the same time, sending a message on the repercussion of drinking too much alcohol! "

I keep asking you lot not to give BioWare ideas but no, you carry on regardless. Okay, but here me out... Synthesis ending, but Shepard survives. Shepard goes to a bar to get drunk. One too many drinks later, and Shepard is beginning to think that Harbinger is starting to look real sexy... The next Mass Effect is a parenting sim, where you play as both Shepard and Harbinger trying to raise their little synthesis baby...

Something similar was actually my (not-quite-serious) theory for ME3 before it came out. Not that it was all a dream, but that reapers simply don't exist.
Souvereign was but a geth war ship, Saren had been manipulated by the geth or simply bonkers, and the collectors are simply evil, but they don't have to do anything with any reapers or the geth. Shepard suffered brain damage from interacting with the beacon.

However, in my particular suggestion, Mordin is dead anyway, because he died in the suicide mission in ME2.

When Sovereign let out its terrible mind rattling noise, Shepard, Ashley and Kaiden were all indoctrinated.
But we didn't know just HOW much.
In the new Mass Effect, we find out the truth: We NEVER Played Shepard. We played Ashley Williams.
In ME1, when Sovereign let out its evil sound, by the time the three of them made it to the beacon their minds had been altered.
Ashley thinks she is Shepard, and that's the person we have been playing all this time. Shepard thinks he/she is Kaiden. Kaiden thinks he is Ashley.
The real Shepard (who thought he was Kaiden) went up to the beacon, but Ashley (who thinks she is Shepard) jumps in the way to absorb the Prothean beacon knowledge and fry her brain.
Ashley was the new commander of the Normady, or so she thinks. It was Ash who saved the galaxy from the collectors. It was Ash who stopped the reapers. And all your squad mates have been indoctrinated along the way!
If you choose the high ems destroy ending, the one where Shepard seems alive, we find out that they are, but not where we think! The real Shepard has taken a breath somehow on Virmire, or on the remains of the Citadel after Ashley shot them to stop Udina, or on the remains of the Normandy that crashed landed on some unknown planet.
And as the Reapers have been defeated and the indoctrination is wearing off, Liara realizes this, and THAT is why she doesn't put Shepard's nameplate on. She realizes the TRUTH!
In the NEW Mass Effect, she must find the original Shepard on a frozen world.
She melds with them, stating: ""Listen only to the sound of my voice. Let your mind relax. Let your thoughts drift. Let the bad memories fade. Let peace be upon you. Surrender yourself to your dreams. Let them wash over you like the gentle waves of the bluest ocean. Let them envelop you. Comfort you. Imagine somewhere calm. Imagine somewhere safe. Imagine yourself... in a frozen forest...."

Yeah, my variation was that it was a Reaper trap designed to learn the operational tactics, political and psychological makeup of the cycle via simulation. EDIT: Maybe the best part of this theory is that MEA doesn't exist.

Lets face it, Crucible and the starbrat doesn't have to be changed much to become one of these Reaper traps.

Continue Reaper fuckery, like with the Collectors, to indefinitely stall the technological growth of the Milky Way races until in a few thousand years the Reapers finally get there, in order to not be outdone the moment they set foot in the galaxy.

Worst canon is when Shepard picks refuse but we already know that won't be picked fortunately It could be. Remember. Shepard can refuse regardless of ems. ME4 could take place immediately after Commander dumba** says no to thing. After a few minutes, a shuttle picks up dumba** who plays stupid explaining he/she didn't know what to do to activate the crucible. As a backup plan, Hackett tells dumba**, the Alliance, along with other species, secretly repaired the archives on Ilos just in case. Dumba**, the crew and squad are put in stasis for x number of years. They wake up to see what is left of the galaxy. During that time they encounter whatever while at the same time try to build the crucible to defeat the reapers.
