And she was pretty young when this game took place. But to @Kiltman's point, she does still look pretty young, not even close to the appearances of Asari matriarchs we've seen up to this point.

She could still be 500 there and have a 300 year timeskip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, she was fairly young too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also know she had contact with Ryder and the Andromeda Initiative, so if they want to close the loop on that, they could do something where she has communications with them closing out the story (similar to how Andromeda had the recordings about Reapers and her conversations with Ryder.) But again, she looks fairly young, so we might only be talking a few hundred years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think she was like early 100s. Yeah they can go like 3 to 5 hundred years into the future and it not really make much difference with her. Which is the way I wanted them to go. I could see them doing a prologue right after ME3 (day of to a couple years after) with Liara and set the galaxy as it is. Which leads up to the title card then the intro of our new character.

naptownskinsfan Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 Is she climbing a destroyed Reaper? There is for sure one in the background, so it seems like Destroy was the canon choice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narratively I think all 3 choices kinda meet in the middle again depending how far you go out. Like the differences are doable from a design standpoint. Destroy is probably the best canon choice, just cause so many people wanted to take the fight to the reapers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although if they went with option 2 of "control", Shepard would/could technically be alive 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus if this is destruction from the final battle they are going over, there would be destroyed reapers regardless of ending choice. If they do let you pick how the trilogy ended; this place could look one way for Control and Synthesis - a group of destroyed Reapers from the final battle. For The Destroy ending they could just add a ton of Reapers in the distance, like this is where gravity led those that fell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt we ever play as most of the original characters again, outside of DLCs and mods, but I do think they will return to the roots of Mass Effect.

Legion. No way sheppard is coming back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
