Aw you beat me to the joke. As I was watching the trailer all I could think is where the hell is the doctor?


He's having a day off and letting his mate Sheppard fill in for him. :)

It's obvious that the reason why the Reapers are after earth is because we hunted giant squids to extinction in the early 21st century and now the Reapers want vengeance. That means in order for Shepherd to save humanity. He'll have slingshot around the sun in the Normandy at warp 9 so that he could travel back in time and find a pair of giant squids at an aquarium, then bring them back into the future so that they could communicate with the Reapers and stop their attack.


Not to mention Rupert's calamari gumbo.

Pixar voices my opinion:

I can guess that the reapers will attack with a huge enslaved husk army and the goal of the game will be to find a way to even stand a chance against them. It would be interesting if they threw in a time limit, like in Fallout 1 and 2, before the reaper invasion. Not that I completely want something like that.

What was the point of ME2? Seriously. What exactly did that game do to progress the Reaper plot?

As a previous poster mentioned, if the Reapers could have made it back to our galaxy using normal mass drives, why not start chugging towards our galaxy when the "Reaper signal" failed to activate the relay in the first place?

I hope they answer these questions, and give the collector plot some merit other than "We needed someone to shoot at in ME2".


1. Hopefully, the plot of ME2 built your team for 3, and established how Reapers reproduce, while exhausting the Collector option, prompting them to come to the galaxy.

2. As stated above, the Collector plan was probably sort of a "plan C" ("plan B" being Sovereign come back to indoctrinate someone of power, build an army, and activate the conduit manually). Now that the second contingency plan has failed, the Reapers see no more options.


No. I get the feeling that they were building that Human Reaper to try and take the Citadel again.

Why a human? Well, we are the only species with variable genes that could be adapted to Reaper frames. So as opposed to using a vanguard Reaper that they left behind (which was destroyed), build another Reaper from within the galaxy to try and retake the Citadel.

And for EVERYONE that thinks that the CIRCLE structure in the trailer was the way that the Reapers got to Earth, that hoop is called the EYE OF BRITAIN. It's a ferris wheel located in London.

When Shep turned around and walked off all I could think was "I should go"

man, i can't believe people know near nothing about the game and yet they're complaining about it already.


Welcome to the world of the Bioware forums. When Dragon Age 2 was "announced" the same reactions were said about that trailer as well. Didn't know there were so many Nostradamus' alive in the world. I understand that sometimes the natural reaction is to afraid of change but how about we just wait and see what the great folks at Bioware have in store for us?

I'm an American living in New Zealand, so I think I understand what you are saying but we will see.

Americans don't have any shutdown period, etc. over the holidays. When they say "Holidays 2011" they mean sometime between Thanksgiving in November and New Years in January. Americans only get an average of 1 week off per year, some get more, but many only get the week. So, does that make more sense?

Mass Effect 3 and Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim in one night? Nice.





If the Reapers only killed 9 million world wide so far I get the notion the Reapers may very well be indoctrinating the entire planet slowly and killing any resistors. Shepard's going to need a lot of MacGuffins and Applied Phlebotium in order to drive these guys off.

I doubt that guy is a squadmate unless he somehow gets off Earth, which is unlikely.


Well he could join up with Shep after (s)he arrives on Earth, because it does look like we'll be doing some fighting here.  I vote for somewhere tropical, like Hawaii or Fiji  Image IPB

Attacking Earth because they pose the biggest threat.
Saren was caught (sorta) at Eden Prime, a human colony.
Saren hunted by Shepard & the SSV Normandy, a human commando and human ship
Sovereign destroyed by the alliance fleet, human only.
Shepard is back to life, by the human organization Cerberus
Shepard, a human, defeats the Collectors, with a mainly human crew, on Horizon and at their base.


Also, Mr. Big Ben for LI in ME3 :wub:

collectors failed to get Shepard, failed to make human reaper. so harbinger was just stopped control, gave them up. I guess that harbinger would try to direct control to certain human (of course, there is always reward to do) just like collectors in mass effect 3. that's why sniper in Ben just killed another human. they turned enemies against the same species. I am very excited. we are all nerd. I wonder how Legion will react this situation.

No thanks. I don't want to be rushed through the game again. Atleast not until the end, then it's fine.

You all seem to assume that Mass Effect should be centered around the position of humanity in the galaxy. This is just what I hate about most sci-fi's, they give you a universe full of interesting characters and races and yet they don't focus on for any reason. At first, most of the reasons that Harbinger gives for the alien races not being used instead of humans are good, but one specifically stands out: the turians.

"Too Primitive"

Really? Seriously, Bioware? Turians are "too primitive" while Humans have barely begun exploring space?

What, are you taking ideas from fanfictions?

I think he ment it in a genetic level and not in a social level. They were not making us into reapers because were socially superior.


That argument doesn't/shouldn't work at all. Turians have been around for much longer than humans, assuming their evolution goes at the same pace as that of humanity.

Hell, what's their argument for not using the Yahg? They're basically perfect, no? And don't give me that "they don't know about them" - I'm fairly sure the Reapers would know something like that, especially since Saren - the most trusted citadel spectre - was controlled by one.

Salarians are diverse enough to have their own sub-species, live for about 40 years and thus have higher reproduction rates, have been space-faring far longer, and humans still beat them out?

Krogans show amazing adaptability and originally reproduced at insanely high rates yet have nothing in their genes to show for it?

Yes, it's stupid.


The krogans are severely endangered, and probably wouldn't have the population to support a new reaper. They also aren't as clustered as humans are.

Salarians have one of the shortest life spans, a result of their metabolism.

Life-span and metabolism won't matter one bit once a race is immortalized in a machine. Reapers are built to be immortal. Neither would the Quarians' weak immune system, which was an excuse Harbinger gave. 

And the Reapers could easily fix the genophage.


1. How is a short life span not wired into the DNA?

2. Quarians had a weak immune system before they had to leave their home planet, as a result of it not developing insects.

3. The genophage wouldn't be the problem, so much as the fact that the Krogans had such a low population, and the Reapers apparently needed unique, fresh, naturally born humans, since they were hitting colonies rather than cloning.

Just rewatched the trailer and it sounds like him in Sam Worthington in Clash of The Titans again. Though since it doesn't look like any actor I know it could just be an unknown....

7 million dead in just a week?
How the hell are we supposed to save Earth with so many people dying in such a short amount of time!?

Here's to those who thought it would be Shattered Steel, Alpha Protocol or some Fall Out jazz: without you, the lowest common denominator, the world would be a joyless place. Here's to you and that extra copy of chromosome 21 y'all got.



PS: I'm ****ing stoked for ME3.

You should see the Bethesda/Elder scrolls forums when people found out about Elder Scrolls Skyrim...

I am still trying to process everything. Part of me is so excited my head is spinning, the other part of me is confused and in a bit of chaos.

Reapers already here?? Only 9 million dead in a week? How many reapers are there? Are they weakened? What has happened since ME2??

I need this game now, I really do.
