I was playing Mass Effect today, and i have come to Ilos and where you talk to Vigil. I had done Virmire just before (with no break between). As Vigil talked about the reapers, and their patience. Something hit me.

What if the Geth's questions to their Quarian overseers was implanted by Sovereign?

Points for:
- The reapers are obviously highly intelligent so it would make sense if they had multiply plans for their return.
- They have patience, they would have no issue with waiting for the Geth to grow, so they could make use of them (i feel this one fits into their beloved art of making slaves).
- The Reapers have used a species before. They used the Rachni. This seems like a tactic they are fond of.

Points against:
- They are arrogant, that is rather obvious. This can counter the intelligence. Are they too arrogant to have many different plans from the start?

Old news, and want to hammer me? Do you have something to add, for or against?

That is a good point that I had never thought of previously. But what exactly made you think of this? What did the Vigil say?

Well, i have always known that the Reapers have patience, but when Vigil said it, and at the same time i thought of how the Reapers enslaved other species before, using them for their goals, and this is when this theory of mine formed.

I do support that at some point a number of Geth got altered when they ran into sovereign but the Geth became aware due to the extensive Midfications by the Quarians, Legion gives you a lot of insight on that stating that the heretic geths operate under a mathmatical error that leads them to conclude that the Reapers are Gods, i belive that this was put into them. The Geth didn't Question the Quarians to begin with the only question a Geth asked was "Do i have a soul" ;)

I think if the Reapers made the Geth to question their Quarian masters, then all Geth would have under Reaper control. But as explained later by Legion in ME2, it is quite clear that not all Geth accepted the Reapers as their God(s). It makes me suspect that the Reapers did not find the Geth, rather a group of Geth (Heretics) might have contacted the Reapers and ultimately fallen victims to Indoctrination.

So according to me, first came their questions, then came the Reapers. Because, as demonstrated by Benezia and later Saren, breaking out of indoctrination is only momentary and cannot last long. So I'm pretty much sure that the Geth (i.e. not the Heretics) couldn't have broken out of indoctrination, if they were in that state from the beginning.

Just my two bits on the topic. Thoughts?

As far as I understand it, it was not the Geth that attacked first, it was the Quarians. Legion even points out that the Geth dont really have an issue with the Quarians, they seek to understand. It was the Quarains who have attacked every time when they felt they had a chance of winning.

This. I think it was after when the Geth drove the Quarians out is when they were contacted by the Reapers and then some of them decided to use the Reapers technology in exchange for helping Sovereign. Most of them were either destroyed or rewritten in ME2.

The fact that the Quarians tried genociding the Geth makes me think very little of them. I'm almost tempted to side with the geth against Quarians in ME3, if given the chance.

I'm inclined to think the Geth were simply an accident given how little Sovereign thinks of them (forgive me for forgetting the exact dialog where he's basically calling them a joke). With the husk spikes existing within Prothean ruins (seen with the missing excavation team on a side mission) and their desire to harvest sentient organic life, I think it's marginally safe to say that reapers prefer to utilize and manipulate organic species.

To be clear, I'm not saying that your wrong, I just think that it's unlikely. That said though, I'll be looking for evidence to your Geth theory on this ME1 playthrough and when I finally get around to playing ME2 for the first time.

Judging from what Legion says about Sovereign, if the Reapers planted the foundations of the Geth's intelligence, the geth don't know about it.
