Just finished priority tuchanka and citadel II. Epic
Posted on 6/27/21 at 12:45 am to TTownTiger
I’ve been so busy the last few days that I’m sitting after priority eden prime (after priority palaven). Hoping to get a few hours in tomorrow, but that’s only if the trial I have set for Monday resolves…

Just finished every side quest, scanned and found everything in every system and the only thing available for me to do is the next story mission (Priority Horizon), apart from the Citadel DLC which I want to save for right before the final Cerberus Base mission.
I cant remember how close to the end that is, but damn i really don't want it to end yet….
One question i did have- ive got almost 8000 military strength, and i know thats more than enough for the “best” ending where you destroy the reapers and shepherd survives… but ive never picked the destroy ending before. If you pick that, does it mean that not only the reapers are destroyed, but the Geth and EDI as well?
With Shepherd surviving that would seem like the only canonical way to allow for him to feature in ME 4, but i’d hate for the Geth to all die after i went through all the effort of brokering peace and harmony between them and the Quarians…. And EDI’s just cool as hell.

Spoilery
Spoilers
Ahead...
_______
According to the Star Child, all synthetic life will be wiped out, which includes both EDI and the Geth. With that said, Star Child isn't exactly a reliable conveyer of information, so we don't know if this is accurate. We do know that EDI's name has been added to the Normandy's memorial wall in the final cinematic, so at least her mobile platform has been deactivated. However, we don't know whether the actual memory banks that make up the beings that are EDI and the Geth are recoverable in some fashion, and there is a mile wide loophole in all of that that would be ripe for retconning.
Short answer: yes
Long answer: we don't actually know

I have platinumed all 3 games. Now to go and do a quick run through on insanity on NG+ to fully platinum everything.
And by quick run through, I’ll probably complete all 3 games completely again.
Also, funny bit, at the end of ME3, I forgot what happened when you shoot the starchild.
Immediately closed app and restarted and I didn’t have to play from my last save. It jumps right into the point of the choice.
Thankfully.
Also, the hardest damn thing in ME3 was the damn mirror match Armax Arena. Playing against a bunch of super powered Sheps was not easy.

Have I been that fricking busy, or did you blow the frick through ME3?
Also, how in the frick did you forget what happens when you cap Star Brat?

Ah, jealous 
Because I felt like I was going through the game at a reasonable clip for a gainfully employed adult, and then you blew past me

I forgot just how much it annoys me that the reputation bar doesn’t go all the way to the top in 3…

Yep, bothered me too.
I also still hate how the canonical ending involves killing Edi and all of the Geth.
Posted on 7/8/21 at 8:46 pm to Scruffy
Yeah, I've always had feelings about that. Though, with that said, if you read a few posts up, I think there's ample room to retcon the shite out of that if they want to.

I messed up and let the quarians kill off the Geth, but then chose to assimilate organics and synthetics.

So you assimilated us with the Reapers… shame… :p

IMO Synthesis should have been the cannon ending and they should have found a way to have Shep live with that ending.
I get why they did what they did but you go through ALL this shite saving the Quarians and Geth only for the true ending be kill all synthetic life.

Nah, frick synthesis
Destroy should be cannon, but if you bust your arse over the course of all three games, you should be able to shield all of your friends. Maybe 8k+ readiness, though I'll fine tune that when I get to the end of this run through, as I've done what is pretty close to a completionist run, but while legitimately roleplaying instead of trying to fully maximize assets with every decision. From what I've seen, 8600 is the theoretical max, though hardcore completionists seem to be hitting between 8200 and 8400.

When I got to the point when I was ready to finish up the series, I had about 7500 war assets. I left a handful of side quests on the board in both ME1 and ME2 and stopped scanning planets entirely in ME2 once I had everything fully upgraded. I knew I was going to get another 100 war assets after the cerberus HQ assault, so I scanned systems for maybe 30 minutes to get from 7500ish to 7750ish and then started the point of no return Cerberus assault. Finished with 7850-ish assets.
Surprisingly I didnt have any other active sidequests in ME3 when I was ready to wrap up. I missed two during the Aria DLC (locate her couch and find parts for her tech guy), but I completed all other quests that I found throughout the entire game. I doubt those two I missed would have netted war assets.
Also had Captain Kirrahe die in ME1 and Miranda die in ME3, so that would have been good for another 50 war assets had they been around. So i could have been a little closer if I played that correctly.

So, I remembered hating Kai Leng, but I just played through P:T and dear… fricking… god… whoever wrote that sequence should apologize to gamers everywhere. We wrecked that fricking punk. Never got a hit on us. Whole thing was over in maybe ninety seconds, including his little recharge breaks. And then plot armor gets engaged, and Shep gets all whiny about getting “defeated”. frick that sequence, right in the fricking eye.

Just finished Leviathan. Sitting at 8020 with Citadel DLC (I can’t remember if it adds war assets or not), Cerberus base, and Earth left. So for a “save everything, rainbows and unicorns” ending, I would say 8000 at a minimum, but possibly higher. I’ll keep updating as I wrap things up.
