It did seem a little silly at first, but reapers have to come from somewhere. Not sure what kind of thing they could have done instead of that. The whole story was leading to it.

You mean, it's that easy to make a reaper, just combine a few millions of beings into a shell of steel and electronics ?

That was plain stupid, nothing else, just dumping it into the sun would be good enough, how the hell did it become sentient and went after us the moment we dumped it is beyond me, it was cheap from the Biware, and it showed how lazy they are about it, Seren was much more challenging than that, and personally, I'd preffer a real fight. 

Shadow broker alien was much harder than that contraption...

Pff, why would a machine use organic stuff? And why would an allknowing being need to harvest living creatures for their DNA when even we humans can create endless replications in the lab.

Al they needed was one skincell and one read of the DNA and, hey presto, essence of species.

I'm starting to not respect repears as enemies. They just do so many unlogical and downright stupid things. And they should know better. Everything strives to survive in a way that conserves the most energy. But no, reapers hop from planet to planet consuming everything, instead of creating it themselves.

Don't blame the Reapers, blame Bioware's steadily degrading story telling.

The Reapers started out with Sovereign in Mass Effect 1, who told us essentially that organics were freak mutations, accidents. He woul dalso go on to tell us that The PURELY MECHANINCAL Reapers had no beggining, and no end. That, "We simply, are." And that the Reapers Agenda was far beyond the scope of our organic understanding.

Very snazzy, omnipotant, and Lovecraftian. I loved it.

Mass Effect 2: Crap rehash of of Soveregin coelesced into Harbinger, throw-away enemies called Collector's (Who could have been compelling, had their story been expounded upon, instead of dropped like a tashcan on fire.) And all of sudden, Sovereign's "Inconceivable" plot is a simple, "We need you to make babies."

Right.<_<

Yup, this makes the "inconcievable" repears, kinda, plain and normal. Why would something sentient want to reproduce in such a way? Why do they even want to reproduce if they are infinite? Organics reproduce because, yea, otherwise we just stop existing as a species.

If an immortal race reproduces, eventually, they will be overpopulated. Yet, there are how many repears? A few thousands? I just dont get the repears. They arent rational, and they arent incomprehencible (as they claim). Indeed, BIOWARE THIS IS BAD STORYTELLING!
