This question is like asking why Sovergin never blow up the normadywhile leaving Virmire because he wouldsee the ship if hehad the anti stealth tech mantion many times in this topic
The question you have to ask is if the reapers equiped themselve with anti-stealth tech or just make ships that are anti-stealth. If sovergin could not see the normandy in ME1, why would the other reapers see it in ME3?

And I ask again - The Normandy was howering there for a minute. What were the reapers around it doing all that time?

They had a wager going as to how long it'd linger before it realised that leaving would be a smarter option.

lol, I like this - each reaper put money into a pool and they all quessed how long it would take for the ship to leave.

If it's the same Normandy, shouldn't it still have the Reaper IFF?
Not sure if anyone has pointed this out yet.

yea. and reapers probably dont use optics or any recognition system.   anyway i think the reapers belive shepard and other important persons to be just as worthless as the rest of the galaxy to begin with and they probably just cared about kills

Afterward - all his Reaper friends came up to him and said: Dude - you let HIM get away!

The Reaper was like - "HIM" who?

You know... "HIM" Shepard... key in stopping Sovereign and the Collectors?!

OH... damn... that was THAT guy?

[ODST 3]

Because Shepard and his crew are the good guys and regardless of how much risk they were at in the game's universe, how much dramatic sense would it have made in this universe to kill of the heroes of the game right away? Sounds like a pretty short game to me, not quite worth my money.

There's is the answer  now folks - now lets sit back and enjoy the game.

OK let’s say it was just Shepards bad dream!

or…

Those reapers are ground forces, the reapers trying to shoot down ships that can go into orbit (shuttles can’t?) are waiting in orbit. The demo just did not show the reaper border patrol in space.
The full game will show a nice space fight/escape of the Normandy and half the alliance fleet sacrificing itself for you to get away and get help…

Or Shepard wakes up sweating and go’s to his trial.


Ps. saying it would be a short game or “hey it’s just plot” is just stupid!
The writers should not write a situation where a Geth starts to shoot candy because he walks in on you and you squad m8 doing it in the break room.

Yes! Of course he shoots candy! Game would be over otherwise!

NO, that’s bad writing the story should at least try to make sense for whatever reality it is written.

[Guns_of_Freedom]

Is this really what we're complaining about??

[Mendelevosa]

THE REAPERS LET SHEPARD GO! They wanted him to suffer watching all the destruction, and believed that he would fail at destroying them. Besides, if the game actually made sense, the experience would be well under an hour.

Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a Reaper is insignificant next to the power of the Biotics!

LOL....

Honestly, who gives a damn. All I know is that I'm staying the f**k off BSN once this game is out. Tired of all the nitpicking that goes on.

"A fictional videogame has an unrealistic narrative! WTF?"

"They didn't just take off with three guys hanging of the **** of the ship? Unacceptable! *nerd rage snip*"

Seriously, the time people waste debating the tiny inconsistencies in a game, whether it's the "horrible writing", (Besides the whole 'We fight or we die!' sh*t who really gives a crap) or the fact that you can't hear Shepard's footsteps it's stupid for people to complain about a game they're gonna buy anyways. And even if they aren't, why jump on BSN and give the people who are a headache because a scared kid in an air duct gave them butthurt.

[Davrexx]

Its possible that the reaper expected the normandy (which the reaper thought was just another human ship) to attack it rather than escape so it didnt see a pressing need to destroy it immediatly....

Killing innocents hurts Shepard more. Letting him leave Earth, unable to do anything while the Reapers slaughter his people...

Also, the Normandy's plot armour was upgraded. But mostly the whole "This hurts you".

Speaking of which, the "You can't help me" kid...what the frig? How forced was that? Oh, the drama! A child I've seen for a total of about 30 seconds dies! What a tear jerker!

1: I've felt more emotional upon seeing a plumbers butt-crack, and that emotion was revulsion btw.

2. "You can't help me", delivered calmly...really? I think an actual child would perhaps be too terrified to come out of the vent. A ten year old isn't going to realize after 3 minutes of unexplained mayhem that the world is coming to an end, so there's no point in resisting because it's an excersize in futility. Just a guess...<_<

Don't you understand? They're on a holy jihad to inform Bioware of its sins, and damn the infidels who don't agree with them.

How about this question: can human dreadnoughts actually enter the atmosphere? I thought dreadnoughts were humongous ships...

The Normandy 2 is supposed to be too big to enter atmosphere. So Dreadnoughts should definitely be incapable.

Of course, they occasionally forget that fact.

That's actually a fair idea; the Reaper IFF could make the Normandy invisible.

No...it doesn't work that way.
Even if the IFF could fool the reaepers from a braodcasting point of view, the Normandy was still in visual range fo Several reapers. That cna't fool anyone....anymote a horse in a raincoat can fool you he's a human.

The IFF is as effective as this desguise:

- it does actually. In space, there is no matter to transfer heat. Big difference.

- Doesn't matter. Radar stealth system work only on smaller things on bigger distances. Newer radars are getting better and better at seeing trough it.

- Do you even know what you're talking about? Spectrum does not dictate visibility as you think it does. If the reapers couldnt' see in our spectrum, that doesn't mean they can't see things. Ultra-violet or infra-red...neither are OUR spectrum. I cna see you very well in both of those.
You are seriously postulating that reaeprs have worse optical detectors than we have? The same reapers that can see directly trough the eyes of the husk/avatar/whatever?

-You do realize that termal sensors detect termal radiation which is another form of electromagnetic radiation like light or radio waves or X-ray. That we can see the sun from our planet suggest that electromagnetic radiation doesn't need matter to be transfered.
-Newer stealth tech gets better and better too...
-And well, infra red is a form of termal radiation, so if reapers woul only see infra red and the normandy has an anti termal detection tech reapers wouldn't see it.
And no, I just postiulate reapers might not see the need for optical sensors at all.

- and? You're proving my point for me. I was merely demonstrating the difference between space and atmosphere. Evne wihout any atmosphere or matter to transmit stuff trough, you cna be seen in space. In atmospehre, sincve you will be passing trough mattr - and thus interactign with it - you are even more visible.

- radar stealth systems rely on scattering the radar beam so it doesn't return back to the radar dish. For that sharp angles are required. The fighter has to be a special shape (which Normandy isn't B.t.w. Ther'es no way Normadny is a radar stealth ship). Even with radar absorbing paint, stealth only work from specific angles and at larger distances.
New, focused radrs use a narrower beam. While they cover a smalelr search area, they are very effective at seeing stealth fighters.

- Reapers have optical sensors. It's too stupid to not have them, given how usefull they are. Pretty much any space-faring vessel should have some. And he have today cammeras that can see in wide spectrums. There's no way you could hide Normadny from optical detection - NONE. Especially not in atmosphere.

See, there's plenty of reasons why it made it out, we cannot assume a plot hole when such explanations exist.

It doesnt matter if the player/reader could find explainations for certain situation in the game by himself. If someone has "to take out those things out of his arse" without even any possible hint what could be true  in a book or game,this is bad writing and a plothole.

Becasue he wasn't near? (remeber Jokers warning about Sovereign changing course)
Because Normandy is faster and escaped before it was in range?

Normandy is a WARSHIP. You don't miss it.
Not even with todays radars/sensors could you POSSIBLY miss it. You couldnt' miss it without any sensors - it was right tehre in plain view of 10 reapers.

One warship in the air with hundreds more around it.

As it is, the Reapers were more interested in blowing the cities up than dealing with the mosquitos.

What other 100 warships?

Aee you forgettign it was hoverign stationary for an eternity?

Well not literally hundreds of warships out there but there apparently were many others. Such as the cruiser that gets blown up.
