The Renegade option effectively has Shepard say “Go f*** yourself” and he disconnects from the Citadel and starts destroying things, causing the Citadel to be destroyed and Earth along with it, but allowing the rest of the universe to live on with all the Reapers destroyed. Her meeting up with Shepard prompts her to suggest, hey, “This is the chance to evolve everything, we can move everything forward.’” The conversation between Shepard and the Reaper Queen eventually brings the player to three choices, not unlike the original Mass Effect 3 ending, though these choices are notably different from the ones seen in-game.
Wilkinson explains that, while she was their queen, her radical thinking led the reapers to lock her away inside the Citadel to basically shut her up.
I think it was a queen? And he had this conversation with the queen, and the queen basically said, ‘the way the Reapers keep going, this isn’t sustainable, blah blah blah blah blah blah, we have to evolve, but we’re incapable of evolution because of the limitations of our AI and stuff like that.” I actually had him just plug himself into the Citadel, and then within a virtual world he has a conversation with what was described as a god of the Reapers. “At that point, Shepard was so augmented with like electronic bits and all the rest of this shit,” Wilkonson said. Speaking in a recent People Make Games video titled ‘The Inside Story of Mass Effect 3’s Endings, Finally Told,’ ex-BioWare animation director Dave Wilkinson revealed that the distinct color choices seen at the end of the game were originally used to represent the Paragon (blue) and Renegade (red) options, with the green path being referred to as “the other one.” Wilkinson goes on to reveal that the original plan was to have Shepard confront the Reaper Queen instead of The Catalyst/Star Child. Oddly enough the ending had the potential to be even weirder than the one we got, as apparently the original plan was to have Shepard come face to face with the Reaper Queen. Despite having released almost a decade ago, the ending of Mass Effect 3 always becomes a hotly debated topic whenever BioWare announces something new to the franchise, pulling the fan base into an unceasing debate about what could have ‘fixed’ the ending.
