In Mass Effect 3...How would you destroy the Reapers?

[Geeky Anomaly]

Use Shepard massive penis to fend them off.

That or close the arms of the Citadel and ram that shit into them.

EDIT: Or pull an Earthbound on Saren.

I know that were all exited about Mass Effect 3 (suck it Wii owners). The biggest question I have, is how you're going to destroy thousands of gigantic,laser firing,mecha-squids that are invading the Earth.

So, how do we blow them up? I believe we should just train Shepard to be a ninja and leave it at that.

Throw every fleet in the galaxy at them and hope for the best sounds like a good idea

 

[Shock and Awe]

Probably some sort of crazy virus, or just kill it with nukes, you know, mix it up a little.

This is Mass Effect so I'm going to recruit a team of badasses after my old team mysteriously went AWOL/I died again/TIM moved them onto a new Normandy without telling me/I'm being forced to work for the Blue Suns and they refuse to join not terrorists, then I'm going to have to travel to the head reaper and shoot it in it's many superfluous eyes which will magically disable all the other ones.

While that's quasi-sarcastic, it's quite obvious that despite the game being built around the badass squad approach, this is not a ground fight, in fact Ashley in ME1 even says that so either some plot device will let us disable them all at once, or there's going to be another suicide mission shoehorned in even less appropriately into this game. I mean, being able to ground fight the collectors was improbably lucky enough, but it's going to take a lot of contrivance for us to do the same to the Reapers, which given the nature of the game is practically mandatory.

Actually no, more realistically it'll probably be a retread of Legion's loyalty mission, if only because then they can at least try to claim foreshadowing despite the Geth Virus never being proposed as a reaper solution for some reason.

Alternatively, they could make the final mission be part squad-based like we're used to, and part space battle. Personally, I'd love to have a huge boss fight (think two or three Reapers) while playing as Joker. Alternating between characters would be the best way to make it seem like a very large-scale conflict.

Lure Reapers to Earth.

Collapse Sun into a black hole.

Profit.

I think the goal is keep the Earth from being destroyed...although that is a good plan. Could always try that in one of the dozens of other solar systems with similar sun like planents and a lack of sentient inhabitants.

But I'm all for letting the reapers come in and turn the humans into bio-slush to build a gigantice termin...human reaper.

Good sir, I would like you to know that made me laugh for at least a minute.

Kudos.

 

[AMMO Kid]

I doubt you will destroy all the reapers, you probably just trap them in darkspace for eternity

That, or I would make a 4th game so that I would have several more MILLIONS of dollars to throw at them

 

[Karma168]

OT: i think that sheperd will find a new relay that leads to were the reapers were created first and there will probily be plans to the basic reaper there. sheperd races back and uploads the weak points of the reapers to every ship in the massive fleet and boom massive battle ending with you fighting inside harbinger to take out their leader

That would be an awesome idea but i'd fuck with people and make it a side quest; you can complete the game without doing it but by the time your through it's just you and your love interest left. The last 10 minutes would be a cut scene so heavy in implied sexual behaviour that the moral watchdogs at FOX would explode from sheer outrage.

 

[L3m0n_L1m3]

Using some SECRET ANCIENT TECH we're bound to find, obviously.

Or, just throw all the fleets I've made friends with at them. Whichever.

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

Lure them to Earth.

Hide a gigantic "Acme" magnet behind the sun.

Watch as all the Reapers fly into the sun.

........


....Profit.

Dammit. I'm missing something, and it's probably related to this specific romance scene. What did he say, and what did she say?

 

[alithanar8]

Gather all the Krogan I have cured, the Geth who I reprogrammed, the Rachni I saved, the Council fleets that owe me big time. Put them in the best ships we have upgrade them all to the nth degree, set them up to defend all races from the incoming attack... and then, this

Collapse Sun into a black hole.

Profit.

Now you've created a new dilemma; You've committed first degree global (or even galactic) genocide and are now looking at the death penalty for your crimes and that's IF you somehow managed to escape this vortex of infinite gravity. How do you get out of this situation?

 

[The Random One]

Nuke from orbit.

Wait, they will already be in orbit... fuck.

It's Commander Fucking Shepard. He'll surf out of the solar system on a piece of Mercury's crust, pulling the survivor's behind him inside the hollowed out moon.

Im not so sure Im "exited" about mass effect 3, I don't want to "leave" it behind

 

[RatRace123]

I actually hope that ME3 is a no win scenario. That no matter what Shepard does, the reapers win.

That is also what I hope, and it seems likely; not accounting for some super weapon or power that Shepard or someone will pull out of their ass in the final hour.

That also seems likely. Still, I want it to at least be possible to screw everything and everyone over and get utterly killed by the Reapers.

 

[GreyKnight3445]

nuke `em from orbit.

I didn't know the Normandy had an Infinite Improbability Drive. That Illusive Man really does think of everything!
