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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.PiEman wrote...

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?Bocks wrote...

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.Bocks wrote...
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?
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.
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.
And the Reapers could easily fix the genophage.

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?
Yeah. Didn't like that about Majora's mask.Cossack72 wrote...

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