Wild speculation just for the fun of it, but what if he lied about the heretic/orthodox Geth, in the sence that the latter are a majority? What if he's a mobile platform that holds the majority of the Geth programs that favor peace and cooperation, with several more caches spread across the Milky Way, while the heretic Geth are the vast majority of programs and platforms? And that by rewriting or destroying the central heretic station he can redeem his people, either brainwashing them to the "truth", or destroying most of them in a single blow?



Highly unlikely, but as I said, I'm speculating just for the fun of it. Would be a nice twist if Legion is the sole remaining good Geth... ;)

I reeeeally doubt that it would be a type. C'mon, GETH, A FRICKING MACHINE/COMPUTER DOING A TYPO? His system would crash this very second if such random errors would occur.



The name is really interesting, I wonder why he would do it. Thinking its awesome is unlikely as that would indicate emotions AIs dont have. You know, pointing his finger at something stupidly cool and scream THAT IS MOST AWESOME THING EVA!!!!111

RedSaaaaand5-"BS. All you do is snipe all day. Too chicken to fight like a man?"

InfiltraitorN7-"This platform handled your mother like a human male last night."

IRGeth-"PWNED!"

RedSaaaaand5-"Reported."

Legion wouldn't make a typo, however the dilaogue writer probably did and since it's a rather trivial thing proofreading was ignored for things like that.

Maybe all name combinations that included the word infiltrator was already taken.

Oh, sorry. Understood you all wrong.


All names taken? Thats actually very big possibility. Think how many players such a MMORPG has.

I think it's an honest typo, but if it does reference a sort of actual traitor, it could be his consensus about the two different geth factions. Could be "his" way of feeling bad or conflicted over his situation, we also only have the information he's given us without any other geth to confirm it. It'll be curious when he finally spills the beans on why he's so obsessed with Shepard, with the N7 name on his gamer tag and the bit on his armor.

Or why THEY are obsessed with Shepard. Since he's technically the mobile platform of 1000+ geth.

You know what I'm expecting?

In ME3, when Shepard and Co go to Rannoch, the geth will all treat Shepard like some God.

They'll be his biggest fans. All jumpy and excited.

Christ.

Rannoch is populated by a bunch of Jar Jar Binks.

LOL!

You know, the next time I play Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer, I am going to talk like Legion just to ****** off those who take that game WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too seriously.


Heheh.... I have a friend who does a perfect Donnie Thornberry imitation and he does that all the time, complete with matching handle IIRC.  He's also a pretty wicked shot, so it's doubly annoying to the too-serious players.

Legion's awesome. I'm just wondering why he'd spell Infiltrator like that.

Bioware's being sneaky sneaky.....

I have a theory about Legion as a geth who is disconnected for long periods. He might develop individuality due to the lack of constant feedback. He also shows signs of humor and can be caught to dance. That's something geth are not supposed to do. Being a traitor could be the next step towards his mission to become Data. Erm... Human. Creator. Whatever. ;)

Legion doing the robot is just a geth thing we'll probably never understand.

Lookup Legion's dossier on the Shadow Broker's ship. ;)

why did legion make his name "infiltraitor (w/ an I)" and not "infiltrator (no I)"?



because geth do infiltrate. GETH DO NOT INFI1TR4T3!



(funny Legion dialogue)

I just can't accept that as a typo.



That's not to say Legion can't make a mistake. He already did.



Sovereign never spoke to us on Ilos, so the geth got their info a little screwy.

You noticed that too :D.

If they ever announced a Legion DLC i would PM everybody at Bioware asking them to rerecord that line.

The geth got that information from media broadcasts.  Who knows how garbled it was by the time they got it.

Some of the ones made out of meat can, so I don't see why not.

It's a deliberate bid to blend in amongst all the other crap spellers on the interextranet.  Or, Legion just noticed that people use "kewl" plays on meaning like that all the time in usernames to make themselves sound all wicked and stuff.

Maybe its because he respects Shepard so much (hence the N7), that he is a "traitor" to the Geth...speculate on that :)

"Traitor" is not a negative connotation... it depends on context.

I.e. several of Hitler's officers tried to have him assassinated during WW2 to end the war... they were traitors... but only traitors to Hitler  ... to the rest of the world, they were heroes for trying.

"Traitor" cannot be used to gauge one's morality. One man's traitor is another man's hero... just as one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.

Context and perspective are key.

Not quite.  Most of the attempts weren't made to stop the war, just to stop Hitler.  Disagreements over how he ran the war, and his paranoia about his officers (which led him to execute many of them) were the primary causes.  The attempted assassins were fully in line with the initial views of the party, and the war itself.  The just felt that Hitler's tight grip on the country, coupled with his own meglomania, was leading it to a point where the war was unwinnable.
