I'm gonna have to give this a go then. Because my ems is definitely not 7.5k+

@Mrgaby95 You have 8k rating, so you're safe.
The issue here is that the devs were supposed to reduce the EMS requirement for the "good ending" to make up for the lack of multiplayer. However, that not the case. The requirement is still absurdly high and requires a 100% completionist playthrough to unlock the best ending. Something's definitely not right.
@xtracker85The issue is if they decrease it too much, it makes it nearly impossible to get the low EMS/TMS endings.
You don't need to have done everything but they did say without multiplayer, the side stuff was going to matter more. No one is gated by DLC anymore and you can have lost a few things and still get 7,500 (but fairly certain the number should be 6,200 +) They never said they were going to remove number requirements- everyone having the DLC still gives some fairly decent wiggle room. My brother had none of the paid ME 2 or 3 DLC to start with, and he got the breath scene back in the day with the extended cut.
I've seen people rushing through the games and outright not doing a large portion of the side stuff. 5.6K TMS would mean missing quite a bit.
Destroy/ breath should have the highest score required and you now can't use multiplayer to get around this being lost if you don't handle the Illusive Man right by persuades or the interrupt.
Do you have any idea how much content you'd have to skip on purpose if the score was lowered much? I was trying to figure out how to kill most of my ME 2 squadmates while still surviving and to do so I'd have to skip several loyalty missions.
The highest possible score I believe is slightly higher than my completionist paragon playthrough at 8,955 TMS. I did not make the Virmire survivor a war asset, nor did I save the Collector base. I also did the sneak mineral cheats and did not deplete the right planets so my mineral score was nerfed to 25. So 9000+ against even 7500 (we'd need people to experiment) and you can lose 1,500 TMS and still get the breath ending.
You can skip quite a bit of the side quests in ME 1 and ME 2- only certain ones contribute, it's not as zealous as having to do everything.
@Allison_X5-734 Whether the devs choose to decrease the requirements or not doesn't really affect me, since I'm a completionist myself. But I've read several reports of people doing all the side quests (and maybe only missing some stuff here and there) and even when reaching a high EMS rating of 6-7k, they still couldn't get a good ending or trigger shepard's "breathing scene". I can't verify this myself, or gauge whether the new system is fair or not, because I've put my playthrough on hold until a patch fixes some of the bugs in this game (the missing spectre weapons & broken leveling system where you can't max level)
But if what these people are saying is true, and that they're getting the bad ending even when reaching 6k+ EMS, then I feel there needs to be some slight adjustment to it. There should be a slightly bigger margin of freedom for the players without needing them to do almost everything perfect.
Doing pretty much every side quests in ME1,2,3 (missed no more than 5 after buying what I missed at the Spectre Terminal in ME3) and I'm at 7893 after Horizon. I did scan every available system to100% in ME3 and it makes a huge difference as although the varies asset you recover can be anywhere from 10 to 100pts or more. They do add up to quite a bit.
I mean the endings themselves are well, you can PM me if you want to discuss them but yeah, you would need to have way more than those War Assets points in order to unlock all endings, did you cured the Genophage with Wrex and saved the Dalatrass with Thane?
