The Biowarian Twist: ME3 Edition

[Deleted member 7219]

The Reapers attack Earth. Shepard travels around the galaxy, seeking to re-unite her former comrades for one final effort. After taking her time mining planets and passing loyalty missions, Shepard et al arrive at Earth to find the Reapers have already killed everybody and are using the Solar System's mass relay to travel to every other populated system in the galax.

Shepard took too long. Depressed, she contemplates killing herself, when suddenly Normandy gets a call. It is from Mordin Solus. He's invented a temporal-dimension teleporter; Shepard can go back in time to stop the Reapers before they get anywhere near Earth. Given a second chance, Shepard climbs into the time machine. There is a bright flash of light. She blinks. She finds herself in Kirkwall.

The two universes have merged.

Now, Shepard is all alone in a strange world. Templars arrest her on suspicion of her being a mage. Obviously, being a badass, she doesn't take too kindly to this and tries to break out. Big mistake. A team of religious zealots from Orlais, led by Leilana, hunt her down and make her Tranquil. But they go all the way, she isn't just a robot, she's a fucking vegetable.

In Dragon Age 3 you play the role of Shepard's nurse.

- the final battle takes place at the Citadel

- the Keepers on the Citadel will be pivotal in some way

- the element zero (eezo) and its "mass effect" will be pivotal in some way

- Shepherd is turned into a Husk halfway through the game, or slowly changes into one over the course of the game

- the Reapers were originally organic squid-like beings (the first organics?), and turned themselves into machines; that's why there's so many squid Reapers, and the whole human-reaper thing is a relatively recent idea on their part

- to permanent stop the Reapers now and for the foreseeable future, races must abandon all technology based on element zero and its "mass effect"

- the new Shepherd is a clone from the Lazarus project, or Cerberus has made a clone

All of these are actually good ideas, which means the chances of them appearing are practically zero. You'd better take your money and run.

None of you mentioned the DA:O --->DA2 sort of "twist".

Here it is:

The reaper threat is still out there, and Shepard is the champion. He will be traveling with his mother at the beginning. Actually the whole game will be based on the conflict between the Krogans and the Salarians. Yeah, and your sister will be abducted by the Salarians and you can't do anything about it. At the end you gonna have a choice to have gay sex with the Illusive man or rape a reaper.

There will be some classes eliminated. Now you can only be a warrior , a mage or a rouge. Or their equalent in space age.

I used to suspect (before we heard of the stupid Cerberus turncoat thing and Reapers invading Earth) that the strange thing going on with the sun in that system where you pick up Tali might play a major role. The sun there is apparently going supernova way, way before its time, and Tali and her team were trying to find out why.

I had a notion that the mass effect used throughout the entire galaxy for absolutely everything from levitating teapots to the mass relays themselves is somehow responsible for destabilizing solar reactions, but it's only showing up now (maybe because the effect is so slow that it needs nearly a billion years to become visible). Maybe even the Reapers didn't know about this.

So, my crazy idea was that someone (Cerberus, the Quarians, the Geth or whoever) finds out why this happens and learns how to make it much quicker, basically being able to detonate entire suns. Then, Shepard could either try and lure the Reapers to empty systems and then kill them en masse by detonating that sun, or the organic races play a huge bluff where they threaten to blow up everything including themselves when Reapers try to invade a system, which might ultimately leave the entire galaxy a burning waste of exploded suns, finally ending the Reaper cycle for good.

That's epic and great, so... it won't happen.

Sounds good, but get your sci-fi out of mah space dating sim plueahse.

Bioware should hire you to make a mass effect spinoff (because it obviously won't happen for ME3).
