[suggestions on how to improve ME3]
I
your effort, but i see two serious problems with it:
ME2 should have been solely about finding out the means to stop the Reaper threat as everything pointed out by the end of ME1.
Bioware will probably never come up with a good idea of how Shepard can defeat the Reapers. Shepard may be a really extreme dude, but after all he is just a soldier who takes cover behind crates. I just don't see any plausible way for him to defeat a force such as Reapers as described in ME1. Shepard fighting with the Reapers directly is bound to end in some really retarded mess. Thats why i think Shepard should fight a sidekick race serving the Reapers, some aliens that are powerful enough to be a galactic threat, but can still be grabed by a collar and shot in the face.
Have the entire game be a full out galaxy wide war and all you do is play the galactic general
As Ed123 pointed out, Bioware probably won't be able to pull this off too. ME is basically a game about you flying around in your luxury pleasure yacht, buying fish and models for your cabin, helping your various bros and banging hot alien chicks. It's hard to justify Shepard doing that in the middle of Reaper invasion. And thats basically the main atraction of the game, you cannot take it out because Bioware cannot do anything else well. Limit exploration and railroad player from one corridor with boxes to another? No, please.
Again, i think that a race of evil Reaper sidekicks can come in usefull. They pose less immediate danger to the galaxy so it will be easier to justify Shepard doing all the sidequests, as well as other races refusing to help you because of some petty buthurts.
You get varied endings based on your actions from ME1 and 2 and who you managed to save in ME3. Have you, the player chose what planets/species to save in ME3. Also your odds of success are measured on what you accomplish in ME2 and your actions in ME3.
Now this is a must have. Not implementing it in ME3 is a crime. You know, i will tolerate resolution of Reaper plot line of any level of retardation and forgive the lack of pacing if only this element was done right.*
*Oh, come on, who am i kidding, fuck the C&C, the only thing i care about is my romance with Tali! Tali'Zorah vas Normandy, my sweatheart, even if you turned out to be a lame beatiful space elf and you don't have a tentacled vagina with teeth for a face (at least nobody can tell me you don't have three assholes like in my fantasies), i will still love you forever. If Tali and Shepard don't get to live hapily ever after i will petion my government to nuke Canada.
And Garrus better be a true bro and not lay hands on my sweet Tali when they are stranded on unknown planet, or else...
