I want all the Reapers to speak to us. They should feel each like a 'nation' like Sovereign said they were; not minions for Harbinger who might as well just be unintelligent machines. Every Reaper should each believe they're the ones orchestrating our destruction.

I don't want to whole game to be a matter of Harbinger barking orders and the other Reapers just nodding mutely.

I infact wanna see Harbringer again. He and Shepard are like old buddies, always trying to get rid of each other.

Maybe, but they need a role to fill.

Harbinger is the leader, as far as I can tell.
Sovereign was his right hand man/recruiter/scout/messenger, whatever.

What else is there? It isn't a military operaton.

Harby: "Gaise, go dere, kil evry1, blow your trumpets once in a while :3"
Other Reapers: "Oh goody! :-D"


Well I wouldn't say Harbinger is a leader (well he might be actually but I hope not) I prefer to think of the Reapers as being equal and being 'independent nations' like what Sovereign said...I still think though that Harbinger is one of the more powerful Reapers though and he heads a lot of the operations and things (like the creation of the human reaper and etc.)

I want Harbinger! And Harbinger only!

I did NOT see him at any footage, trailers or videos at all!

I wonder where he is!

Meh, as of now they're just one big ANGRY family. Shep killed Sovereign who was the prodigal son of Harbinger. He was the son that was tasked by his father to stay behind and watch the crops while the BIG HAPPY FAMILY went to sleep in the camp. He was to stay by the field for a while to watch the seeds grow until the very time it was time for ripe, in which they would have food to increase their family's population.

The crops started to become sentient while they grew, and suddenly there was nothing that Harbingers favored son could do about the situation. They grew too large for Sovereign to handle and while he tried to phone his family back to the field so they could harvest, he, ironically, got chomped by the crops he was supposed to have for supper.
A'pity, Really.

Other than that, yes i believe i would like to see several new "individual" Reapers.

I dont think there will be a real new Reaper as we know them. Someone must have build them, so maybe the first race of all had a traitor in their ranks, who tried to take over the power by creating one massive ship, the first Reaper, and whipe out the others who ressist (lets call this humanoid guy simply "The first") He looks like some big Borg drone and is the key to shut down the other Reapers. Ultimately the finale results in a one vs one between him and Shepard. No guns, just the new close combat.
Like this after 4.50 Amazing fight and John even looks like the John Shepard from ME (just with a good haircut)

Dominion.

A Reaper with an indoctrinated army whose sole purpose is to relentlessly pursue Shepard and the Normandy throughout ALL of ME3.

Leviathan of Dis? possibly Reaper leader?


Leviathan of Dis was not a reaper, it was a Farscape reference.

Didn't Sovereign say ' we are each were a nation ' ? I think they just choose one Reaper for a specific role such as Sovereign being left behind to monitor the situation and signal his brethren when the time is ripe. Harbinger took over after Sovereign's demise may mean that there was another Reaper left behind to be Sovereign's back up just in case.

Are we going to bring in Assassin's Creed 2 ? :P
The big Reaper leader may have a name to means he is the one who decided everything
Harbinger's name was really well chosen and quite meaningful he brought major chances and foreshadowed what was to come the Reapers's arrival

What's in a name? Let's look at what a harbinger actually is; it's one who comes before, a herald. A messenger. Does that sound like a name for a leader? It doesn't to me. I don't know if the Reapers really need centralized leadership, but each one we know by name has had its function closely tied to its designation.

Sovereign; an independent authority. It acted alone and decided when the time was right to begin the invasions. Harbinger; one who comes before. It foreshadowed the arrival of the Reaper fleets in ME3, and issued all sorts of announcements and proclamations of imminent doom to Shepard.

I don't know if there will be another named Reaper in ME3, but if there is it should probably follow the pattern.

Well since Harbinger escaped out of the big bad collecter general before the base went bye bye I suppose he'd still be playing Locutus for the Reapers. So no new named one needed really.

Hopefully Harbinger will have been shamed by his failure to do anything useful with the Collectors, so they'll get a new mouthpiece for ME3.

Hahaha I still think that every reaper we encounter should have a distinct personality.

They're giant space octupi (EDI says they may all look different, but they all look the same so far). They're all unique (or the collection of the various programs that each is running comprise a unique entity for each vessel; they're not a network consciousness like the geth), but I doubt they're coming to Earth to chat you up. So you won't know what most of them they may be called.

Also, Sovereign was an assigned name (Legion says its programs referred to itself internally by another name (a dorky one at that) and that Saren just decided to name it Sovereign). Harbinger too was probably just a way to refer to it (because it wouldn't shut up about being the harbinger of this and the harbinger of that), even though it has some actual name. Its friends probably call it Zoz or something.

I expect any additional Reapers that you communicate with will have unique title-based names (and their voices will be shifted down into the lower frequencies, although not as low as Sovereign--he rattled the windows here with that voice), depending on their function in the story.


Ah true. Sovereign called itself Nazara, which sounds like a species name to me. 


Which, depending upon what interpretation you take could have come from "nasareth' which in turn may come from the verb "nastar," which means to "watch, guard or keep"

Which depending on what you think about the Reapers and their true goals could be a clue pointing to them actually protecting the galaxy from something, at least in their own minds.  Those are all defensive terms.

How about "Onager"...

how about " Analger" or "Orgasnimater" 


Those work too. Was hoping someone would notice the double meaning there :wizard:.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds the idea that there would be a Reaper "leader" just...uh, wrong, right?

The Reapers probably wouldn't develop individuality like that. Sovereign said they are each a nation, which sounded to me like "We are all unique, we are all powerful".

I don't think we know enough about them to reach a conclusion either way. One theory I had is that almost all of them are indoctrinated, retaining millions of memories of their former lives and aware of what is happening to them, but unable to do anything about it.


Would be helluva plot twist, I approve.





Haha...funny thing is, I ALSO came up with this idea a couple of months ago. Think about it. If the Reapers hone the power of indoctrination, and they all are developed among the cycles of life...then the very FIRST Reaper is the one indoctrinating ALL of the rest. It makes perfect sense, and siphons our aggression to one final Reaper for an ultimate confrontation. And no, its not Harbinger. The true villains lurk from the shadows and orchestrate everything from a safe distance.

And I think there will be a Four horsemen type of concept in this game. A kind of elite Reaper group that will be fronting the attack. Gotta pinpoint some type of scope and target in this game, ya know?

"Harvester" would be alright, if it didn't sound so close to Harbinger.

Everyone and their grandma knows this'll happen. They'll likely be multiple named Reapers.

I want to see a tiny reaper the size of Shepard. This reaper is called Mikros, made from the harvesting of highly intelligent race of ants.

also, wouldn't be funny if Harbinger turned out to be the smallest reaper?
