It could be explained by the Reaper IFF installed onboard the Normandy.

Best explanation IMO

Well as u fly away in the normandy u see them shooting at the reapers and most of them are just starting to land, that's probably why.

Because they know that MY Shepard is going to go the way of Saren and exchange their freedom for ultimate powarrrr!!!!

[RenownedRyan]

While we're at it, at the end of Return of the Jedi why didn't the Empire just use the Executor to annihilate the Rebel fleet, rather than picking them off one at a time with the Death Star?

That IFF didn't even fool the Collectors. And should be recognized as stolen after ME2.

Maybe they still want Shepard alive or at least not completely turn into ashes and recgonised her/his ship? We still don't know why Harbringer wanted her/his body, though I have my theories.

[Sikelcell]

Yeah, why wasn't the main character killed in the prologue?

Preorder cancelled!

What a retarded question.

Well they could have had joker doing some evasive manoeuvres and the Normandy sustaining heavy shield damage and light armour damage by being grazed by a beam two times. Thank the godess for the Silaris armor and multicore shielding. It would not have been that hard to do

why doesn't Gandalf ask the great eagles to drop the ring inside mount doom right away?

Because:

a) Sauron would spot them (and stop them)
Gandalf can't command the eagles
c) Manwe forbid the eagels to interfere directly.

For some reason your post made me really happy...

Yeah, I would have preferred the Reaper at least acknowledging the Normandy's existence and maybe taking a couple of near-miss pot shots at her. The Reaper completely ignoring the Normandy made me scratch my head a bit, but it's hardly a deal breaker in my eyes.

people don't even know how the Normandy works, ffs

the stealth system you idiots!

[Gemini1179]

I've stopped asking these questions, I've found it makes the experience much better. Like not asking why the Normandy didn't fire its Thanix Cannon at the Reaper Crawler it was pointed at.

Yep, better to not ask at all. I think I'm actually going to take Mr. Priestly's advice and play through once without importing.

lol... seriously, I hope this is supposed to be funny.

[United_Strafes]

Because they needed it for the rest of the game?

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".

this seems to be the best explanation IMO.  i can totally see the reaper A.I. (i.e. the entity or whatever behind the hologram of the reaper ship that shephard occasionally sees)..

its the whole, 'we got you and your people, and there is NOTHING you can do about it' type of thing.

and realistically they would be right.  i dont really see a scenario where earth survives.  sure, they may be able to recruit the fleets and somehow unite the galaxy and save it OVERALL.. but i dont really see how humanity could survive.  even if every major species in the galaxy was united with earth.. its not like he could magically summon their fleets.. and the fact that earth is NOT united with the majority of the species does not bode well for earth. 

it will be interesting to see if bioware even explains how this is handled.

There are simpler ways they could have done it, for instance let Shepard witness the destruction of the shuttles before the Normandy arrives, this would have also been a good point for Anderson to say he was going back.

[Sarevok Synder]

Because the Reapers were blinded by all the lens flare!

uhh there was a reaper (the landcrawler thing that took out the transport shuttles) like pretty much eye to eye with shephard and the normandy.  they didnt need radar.. unless of course the reapers are blind.

For the same reason the Emperor didn't just force lift Luke and throw him into the core of the death star, the same reason Boba didn't simply disintegrate Luke in Jabba's Palace, and the same reason You never actually see Obi-Wan's head roll off--anticlimatic,
Imagine the scene:

Shepard - on board the Normandy - Joker get us out of here!
<reaper lasers>
<Normandy blows up>
<Game ends>

[Maj.Pain007]

Why did the Reapers even land? Can't they bombard the planet from orbit?

[Degenerate Rakia Time]

The reaper was too busy watching Fox News whine about Mass Effect killing children

[corkey sweet]

stealth systems where active

You have to have got the "Plot Armour" upgrade from Jacob in ME2.
