Here it is:

That's a photo of Mars. I like how they used a photo of Mars instead of making an image themselves. The "Rift" is actually Valles Marineris, a natural formation.

No, this is a photo of Mars:



As you can see, they're not identical. Rather different in many details, in fact.   Based on it? Yeah.  Copied wholesale?  No.

Yes, Klendahgon's appearance is actually a real-life depiction of Mars.

No, it's not.  Just look at the pictures: they simply do not match.  Klendagon =/= Mars.

It's not necessarily indentical. The planet was clearly inspired by Mars if anything.

Protip:

Invert the y axis on the Klendragon photo.



The texture on Klendragon has a direct 1 : 1 correspondance. It's Mars.

It doesn't look identical, it still could be though, stuff can look different when it's not. This goes especially for planetary features (the face on Mars, anyone?).

Even if it's not the same, it's very close though.

Scratch that, the planets are not identical, but the rift is..

The Illusive Man tells you that in addition to the Derelict Reaper, Cerberus had also located the weapon that killed it, the weapon that glanced off the planet Klendagon and created the Great Rift. He says the weapon is defunct, and after 37 million years I'd say he's probably not lying, but do you think that an 'autopsy' of this weapon is the key to building a weapon to stop the Reapers?

I'm very curious about the race that created the weapon, and how they knew they needed the weapon in the first place, given the Reapers surprise attack modus operandi. I'm wondering if any of it will be addressed in ME3.

I'm sure this has probably been discussed already, but I couldn't find an active topic about it.

There is a possibility that there will be another reseaerch of it, but if it was relevant, it would've been part of ME2.
1. Discover threat.
2. Learn about threat and how to stop it.
3. Stop threat.

Look at the Reapers MO in ME2.  Not exactly following the same lines as what we were lead to believe.  (It should've been en masse.)

It's not identical but are you people seriously arguing that Adam_grif was off the mark when he said they used a picture of Mars to depict Klendagon? Obviously they edited the details but give me a break.

They went to all the trouble of fliping the image and putting a fake looking crater or two!

But seriously. The actual rift itself is a 5000000% match when oriented the right way.

I personally knew it was a depiction of Mars the second I saw it.

When I first saw the trailers for Mass Effect I assumed we'd get to drive around on Phobos or Deimos. Personally I'm still a little surprised that in a big space game that you'd never have a Mars level... Maybe the Protheans will be more important in ME3 and we'll get to go there finally.

If you were on the old BioWare forum, people asked for Mars a lot, seeing as how it plays a role in the storyline and whatnot. The developers didn't seem to care, though. I was really anticipating a Mars mission in ME2, but unfortunately there wasn't anything. This, however, could be a hint that Mars may very well make an appearance in ME3, especially since BioWare listened to us about almost everything else. But I'm not holding my breath.

Not letting us land on Earth, but having a mission on the Moon was a HUGE ****tease in the first Mass Effect. I'm fairly certain we will see Earth in ME3, however.

If ME3 has a DA:O approach, meaning gaining alliances to fight the Reaper threat, I hope we do visit Earth, Thessia, Palaven, Kahje, Irune, Turvess, Tuchanka again, and possibly even Rannoch if we get the quarians back there.

But seriously, if we put a Klendagon-type weapon on each of our dreadnaughts, kiss those cuttlefish goodbye.

Oh yes! The Moon mission was actually part of the reason I was motivated enough to buy ME1. Still enjoy it to this day.

I'd be interested in BW's renderings of Earth and Mars, def not a deal breaker.. but yer I'd be interested to do a mission or 2 in ether or both.

"The reapers are going after earth."



I think thats a hint at an Earth mission, But I honestly think the people that shot the reaper were the reapers creators.



I mean they built them, It became self aware along the line of its purpose, But they were building more when this happened, One reaper did crap to make another one aware, They turned on the makers, Makers fired, Reaper died, But so did they.

I think it could still have some significance, despite the fact that the plot isn't following your bullet points.  I imagine that Haestrom's star will be more significant, though.

And by turned on, I mean betrayed them.. In a sense.

[Pacifien]

Well, disregarding the fact Klendagon is based on Mars... actually, how disappointing it was to look at Klendagon in ME2 only to find Generic Mining Planet #97 without any rift. Anyway, the Illusive Man says the weapon they found was defunct, but I'm sure they're looking to reverse engineer it and improve upon it.

Curious that it seemed to be so far from the Reaper that the Reaper should be in a completely different system from Klendagon with the weapon likely also in a different system. Makes me wonder if the Reaper was initially in the same system as the weapon and it escaped in a highly crippled state before "dying."

With all the dark energy references in ME2, I wonder if the fact we found the Reaper by a brown dwarf wasn't exactly coincidence on its part.

It's actually "They are [Collectors/Reapers] going to target Earth". 

The squadmate was referring to the Collectors and the stasis pods in their ship can possibly hold every human living on Earth, if not the whole galaxy.

But since the Collectors were working for the Reapers, then this quote might hold weight.

[TOBY FLENDERSON]

I'm pretty sure the weapon is like the MAC lift in Halo: Contact Harvest, a McGyvered one shot super weapon.

Thank you for correcting me, But as you said, They were working for Reapers.

Who is to say that the collectors were their only Agents
