I'm still lamenting the missed opportunity for conflict in ME3. Shepard wants to save humanity and other species want to save themselves, surely it would result in a nice morally grey conflict, alliances, rivalries, backstabbing, and manipulation, all of which is far more interesting than ancient incomprehensible and unbeatable machines that are far beyond our understanding and that are just as much interesting and interactive as a hurricane or an eruption.
But no, let's take the smooth road and make the things easy and boring for Shepard, a couple of quests would get the whole galaxy on his side, yawn.
What about the situation when most species' salvation means one species' destruction, like it came close with the Batarians. Surely if that happened, the galaxy would become just as much an enemy for the batarians as the Reapers are, and it would make sense for them to ally with the Reapers in the last ditch effort to save themselves or at least have some revenge for being sacrificed. Then we'd get a fully motivated organic enemy, and organics are far more interesting than ancient incomprehensible...you know who.
But no, let's have a humanity-advance organization oppose Shepard for no good reason whatsoever. The antagonist's motivation is so bad that not even indoctrination can explain why this is happening.
