Here are the choices I made:

I only gained War Assets from the main missions and had only 2300 total by the end of the game.

I let Padok cure the Genophage but Eve died leaving Wreav solely in charge of the Krogan.

Kai Leng killed the Salarian Councillor because both Thane and Kirrahe were dead.

I didn’t see Kaidan in the hospital so I killed him when he sided with Udina and then I killed Udina.

I let Samara kill herself and then killed Falere.

I let Admiral Koris sacrifice himself.

I let the Geth VI upload the Reaper code, dooming the Quarians. Tali then committed suicide.

I got Miranda killed on Sanctuary.

The fleets were torn apart during the opening stages of the battle.

Cortez died when his shuttle was shot down.

Garrus and Liara were both killed on the approach to the beam and with their deaths, all of my original crew from ME1 was now dead.

I couldn’t convince the Illusive Man to stand down and I got Anderson killed.

Once I reached the Catalyst, he explained that due to the damage done to the crucible, I had only one option to defeat the reaper threat: Destroy.

And so I did. The Citadel, the Mass Relays, the Geth, EDI, even the Normandy. I destroyed it all. Nothing was left standing by the end except for debris.

And so ended the story of Commander Shepard. His legacy would be a Galaxy left in turmoil and ruin with an uncertain future ahead of it.

Thank you for following this series.

Here are some of the decisions I made:

I did no Loyalty missions except for Garrus’, Tali’s,

Thane, and Samara’s.

I let Garrus kill Sidonis before he got the chance to explain himself.

I got Tali exiled from the fleet because I didn’t handover evidence from the Alarei.

I let Kolyat kill his target and ruined Thane’s life.

I alerted Morinth and she got away.

I did 5 side missions before I did the Suicide Mission and got the crew killed.

I did none of the Normandy upgrades.

Jack, Legion and Thane died on the approach to the Collector Base.

I sent Jacob into the vents and he got the Garrus treatment of a rocket to the face.

Grunt got eaten by the seeker swarms and Zaeed got killed holding the doors.

Chakwas also died because I sent no one to escort her.

Mordin and Kasumi also died holding off the Collectors.

And here is everyone that survived the Suicide Mission:

Any suggestions for Mass Effect 3?

His name is Kevin.

TV Tropes sums it up nicely.

"This is the moment when the geth lose what they'd been trying to preserve for hundreds of years: the lives of their creators. They revere the quarians to the point of maintaining everything from before the war to keep it in pristine condition, and actively choosing not to respond to all the quarian attempts to eradicate them because they're deathly afraid of the implications of killing the people who created them. When they come back online after Legion's sacrifice? As far as they're concerned, the quarians have crossed their own Moral Event Horizon. They murdered millions of geth by destroying the sphere, attacked while they were confused and afraid, thus forcing them into the Reapers' slavery. And then tried to butcher them when they were temporarily offline. After hundreds of years of hoping that, one day, their creators would reach out to them with something other than the barrel of a gun, they finally see that they have no choice. They didn't have the ability to hold off the quarians without killing them unless they let their own race die, and it was all because the quarians took that ability from them. How often does a race of machines lose their innocence? Because that's more or less exactly what happens here."

Mass Effect 3 / Tear Jerker - TV Tropes

In my first playthrough, the total squadmate body count was:

Ashley Williams (I chose Kaidan on Virmire)

Mordin Solus (Died curing the Genophage)

Thane Krios (Mortally wounded saving the Salarian Councilor)

Legion (Died uploading the Reaper Code to all Geth)

Zaeed Massani (Failed to gain his loyalty in ME2 and he died saving the Volus Ambassador.)

Miranda Lawson (sided with Jack during their confrontation ME2 and she died after biotic throwing her dad out the window.)

How would the narrative of the trilogy change?
