Dear god if bioware did something that convoluted. It would be amazing.

Discuss.

Take out the time travel, and this could actually work.

Yeah I know, and I'm usually completely against physics breaking stuff. But this is soooooo awesome.

It's like some of those crazy episodes of Dr. Who.

No, it wouldn't. The idea is entirely dependent on time travel, meaning it could not work in the universe as we understand it. In the Mass Effect universe all bets are off, though.

You know that the whole Mass Effect franchise is fundamentally built around "physics breaking stuff" like FTL travel, right?

If FTL travel is possible, then technically so is time travel, because time and space aren't seperate.

I like it, but the whole dark matter lifeform threat seems a bit clichéd.

'We've taken out the reapers, but OMG, the real threat!' has already been done in Mass Effect (Saren / Geth < Reapeers)



I think just leave it as dark matter collapsing throughout the universe, throw in the twist of the Reapers travelling back in time caused the dark matter collapse through all time lines (Why they discovered the collapse before time travel).

..as the universe plunges into chaos and war with the reapers, shep pieces together the races to hold them off why they use a captured old reaper (one of the firsts maybe) to create a reverse time jump to before the reapers jumped. The splinter group helps Shep and crew take out the time device throwing both time lines into collapse and resetting the universe to a time when protheans / reapers / humans / asari and so fourth share the universe....meanwhile shep sits with love interest dabbling feet in the citadel waters.





Just my take on it.

Personally I hope they avoid time travel, stick to bad ass machine lifeforms hell bent of tormenting organics getting their metal backsides kicked.

Forward time travel is possible using relativity and lightspeed. Backwards time travel is not.

And yes I know pretty much al the tech in ME can't be done. It annoys me everytime they use FTL.

I like the irony of them reaping their own species

Agreed.

All I know is that I want J.J. Abrams as far away from Mass Effect as possible.

Oh, yeah. Definitely agree with you there.

I hate time travel. Only ten year olds like it.

Harbinger is the G-Man from Half Life. You heard it here first.

I just hope the Bioware writers haven't read this and said "fudging heck, the story's been leaked! Back to the drawing board!"

[chmarr]

just bring in dr who, the borg and most of all...........chuck norris and then we will see an epic battle

[s0meguy6665]

where does he get that last part about reports about planet sized super computers?

[s0meguy6665]

anyway, i was thinking they did it simply to gather resources and use them to fuel themselves and survive. whats wrong with that theory?

While I'm not enthusiastic about the time-travel aspect of this theory, I agree that the above-mentioned irony is delicious.

That would be horrible because than it would change time and prove to the Council that there 'are' no Reapers afterall.

My Sheperd would never hear the end of it.

Time paradox?

Somewhat close to what I was thinking, minus the time travel or the dark energy life forms. The Reapers could still be racing against time without traveling through it - within the life cycle of the universe, even our own galaxy, 50 000 years is the blink of an eye. Even 37 million years, the oldest Reaper evidence we have, isn't that much.

I want some twist in the end. Not necessarily "oh, no, there's bigger threat coming!" , as it has been done so many times it's almost unbearable now, but something along the lines that the Reapers weren't truly evil and that their agenda was far more complex, to their own eyes even beneficial, than just kill-harvest-repeat.
