Re: Some good thoughts. Zach Send a noteboard - 16/02/2010 06:54:59 PM
Furthermore, I like your idea because it gives a decent reason for weakened Reapers, which are obviously necessary. Sleeping for 50k years would probably drain their power, and a cross-universe trek would likely put further strain on their systems. This could definitely account for an extreme weakening of weapon and shielding systems, and give Shepard and company a fighting chance. I really hope they don't spread them thin over the galaxy, though, and put a new Reaper at the end of every level. I don't want them to each be a weak miniboss of the day. Not just a Scion among husks, or whatever. We first saw the Reapers as epic machine gods, and that's how I'd like to see them on the battlefield. With the exception of ONE OR TWO bosses maybe, I'd rather the Reapers were just story, and not fought at all. Basically, I think the Reapers are awesome, and am afraid that they'll have to be greatly minimized in order to allow the player to fight them. I don't want that.


I fully agree that as powerful and Godlike as the Reapers are it would definitely be a disappointment if they were brought down to a level where we fought one on one with them.

I personally think that it's going to be a mainly defensive war against the reapers while they investigate ways to destroy them. I wonder if there will be something with the Zeoiph race that was mentioned briefly during planet scanning in ME:1. If you look at the planet Armeni in Knossos it has a statment about an ancient race and their necropolis. I may be remembering wrong but I think there was mention of an excentric billionair that had visions of some light destroying evil machines or something like that. I wouldn't be surpised to find out that the illusive man is the same ecentric billionair and that is why he plays such an active role in fighting the reapers.

Again, I could be remembering wrong though so who knows how it will actually turn out in ME:3
