History WMG / MassEffect3Page2

* Given Bioware's history with Mom's, on the raid of the Illusive Man's hideout when he is about to kill Shepard then Hannah jumps in the way of the shot sacrificing her life to save the life of her child then Shepard gives a [[:Big"NO!"]] then go's into [[:UnstoppableRage]] and then kills him with a point blank shot to the head then starts to cradle his/her dying mother and she is giving a [[So Proud Of You Final Speech]] and the rest of the crew that was participating enters at the last moment and the camera pan's to the back of shepard and hannah say's "I love you and I am very proud of you" then shows shepard shedding a [[single tear]].

* I'm skeptical on this one because while you were a semi-charred corpse after your orbital re-entry, your friend was at or near ground zero of a nuke. I'm pretty sure your buddy is little more than vapour. Maybe that's the Renegade reaction to the situation *Ashley pops out and confronts you. You gun her down without missing a beat. When the Illusive Man goes all "WhatTheHellHero", you point out that "Ashley" there was [[CloningBlues some clone]] and likely mind controlled to boot*.

** You and your romantic option [[TheyDo get married]] (if possible).

*** Of course, [[Art/LadyLiberty Liberty Enlightening the World]] is headless, thanks to DOnovan Hock.

* And you will still have the sudden genre shift to mecha battles.... with Shepard in the Statue of Liberty.

* Sure, it'd be a blatant reuse of the trope that the second game was pretty much entirely based around. However, it was a good way to emphasize that your decisions can have real consequences in the game world, and it is in fact possible to screw things up so badly that you won't make it out alive. The worst ending of the second game had everyone dead but Joker. Following the RuleOfCool and UpToEleven, then, the worst ending of the entire series will end in total, complete, abject failure -- the Reapers destroy the Alliance/Citadel fleets, Harbinger executes Shepard personally, Earth is harvested and destroyed, and the Reapers retreat back into dark space for the next 50,000 years to wait for the next poor bastards to rise out of the primordial muck. But that's only if you screw up all the story missions.

[[WMG: ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'' will take the concept of OldSaveBonus and take it UpToEleven.]]

Stopping the full-scale invasion that is already occurring on multiple fronts will probably require blowing up ''every Mass Relay'' at once, just to make sure no Reaper escapes destruction. The "Paragon" choice will probably be delaying the act to allow time for the people who live near the relays to evacuate a safe distance which would also allow a Reaper or two to escape to fight another day. The "Renegade" choice would be to blow them up immediately -- the ending of "The Arrival" {{DLC}} taken UpToEleven. Either way, the ending will be bittersweet at best, since Shepard will probably have to be near one of the Relays to trigger the destruction and sacrifice himself/herself in the process. Bonus points if the LoveInterest is the only member of the crew [[TogetherInDeath who won't leave Shepard's side no matter what happens]]. It would also have galactic ramifications since the Relays made the current civilization possible in the first place. Depending on whether Shepard was a Paragon or a Renegade for most of the series, he/she will be remembered as a great savior or a ruthless monster.

A typical yahg has the intelligence of a salarian, the brutality and adaptability of a krogan, and the discipline of a turian. Following that EvilCounterpart trend, there will be a race that has the turians' militarism taken UpToEleven and the ME equivalent to TheEmpire.

* One which can only be viewed if the player plays Shepard solely as a Paragon or Renegade through all three games. In either case, both possible endings will show the galaxy [[ExtyYearsFromNow 50,000 years from now]], roughly around the time of the Reapers' next cycle.

* No. [[UnfortunateName No, I wouldn't]]. Not that it would make this any less awesome.

** The Paragon variant will show humanity's descendants fulfilling much the same role as the [[ThePrecursors Protheans]] did for whatever sapient species have sprung up this time around. The Citadel will have been retired as a center of galactic civilization and alternatives to Mass Relays will have been discovered. Furthermore, the predominant religion of this utopian society will be a form of monotheism venerating the god who stood against the Machine Devils from Beyond The Stars and drove them back into the darkness whence they came forevermore. Though his true name has long since been lost to the sands of time, the peoples of the galaxy have christened their Messiah [[CrystalDragonJesus the Shepard]].

And their name? [[IncrediblyLamePun Commander]] [[ThemeNaming Lamb]].

[[WMG: Following the above WMG, TheProtagonist of Mass Effect 4 will be an [[AscendedFanboy Ascended Fanboy/Fangirl]] HeroWorshipper of Shepard, In-Universe]]

* And as ''Arrival'' showed, destroying a regular Mass Relay has the destructive force of a supernova. Imagine the destructive force of [[HolyShitQuotient destroying the incredibly large and much more powerful Relay that is the Citadel]].

2. Being the GrandFinale, the HolyShitQuotient is going to be at all-time high with plenty of twists and turns, and it would make for a good [[WhamEpisode Wham Mission]].\\

* A particular one that struck This Troper as a CrowningMomentOfAwesome would make an excellent [[WhamEpisode Wham Cutscene]]: The Citadel under seige by an overwhelming Reaper attack force, maybe civilians evacuating to Ilos through the Conduit, and possibly a mission into the Citadel core (fighting off waves of keepers?) to unlock any possible defenses. However, it all proves naught, and as Shepard & Co. leave through the Conduit, the Council/Human Council decide to stay. And then, as the Reapers descend, the turian Councilor simply looks up from the Presidium at the massive shadow blocking out the sky, and delivers his immortal line, "[[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Ah, yes,]] [[MemeticMutation Reapers.]]" He then triggers the overload of whatever MacGuffin is powering the Citadel, destroying the station and the entire Reaper attack force with it.

* The ultimate TearJerker[=/=]CrowningMomentOfAwesome : The Reaper fleet engages the Quarian fleet while they hold the line. After a hard fought battle with thousands of Quarians dead and the Reapers are about to break through, the entire Geth armada comes out of FTL and launches a suicidal assault that absolutely curb-stomps the Reaper forces attacking the Quarian fleet. If Bioware is reading this page then PLEASE make it so.

*** ''The geth sacrifice themselves to shield the Migrant fleet'', if Creator/BioWare is reading, that could become the best TearJerker, HeroicSacrifice and CrowningMomentOfAwesome ever.

[[WMG:The elcor and/or hanar get a CrowningMomentOfAwesome.]]

The Reaper fleet will be stopped... by {{Cthulhu|Mythos}}. Right before everyone else dies.

This one is pretty basic but I noticed a lot of people had other theories (IE: Why does the Catalyst LET you win?, etc... ) so I just wanted to offer my take on the ending, mainly this: The Crucible shackled the Starchild. (Or, as it coyly puts it: "The Crucible changed me. Created new... possibilities. But '' I can't make them happen'' .)

[[WMG: When the Reapers realized the humans will defeat them, some escaped to other universes to eventually come back and finish the humans once and for all: returning as [[Franchise/{{Halo}} The Flood]], [[VideoGame/{{Resistance}} The Chimera]], [[VideoGame/HalfLife2 The Combine]], [[Franchise/{{Metroid}} The X-Parasites]], and [[GearsOfWar The Locust]].]]

** [[Tropers/{{Meshakhad}} This troper]] envisioned a scenario whereby you use [[TheConduit Conduits]] to move troops between multiple worlds. Having the rachni, geth, and/or krogan on your side will make it possible to get an EverybodyLives ending.
