No since they would still have free will. But it doesn't mean you didn't pull a galactic size genetic molestation, through a method that doesn't make a lick of sense in the first place. (what the bloody hell is robot DNA?)

We don't even know that since the Reapers and Keepers had a controller, starbrat.

You just set a lightbulb off in my head and so I went through my codex on ME2.  If you help the dudes scan the keepers you get a message: 

"they were engineered millions of years ago... by the same people who made Sovereign!"

People.. not AI kid.  PEOPLE. *cries*

Edit: Better Tami? :innocent:

 I have a question. If we picked green ending, does that mean humans would be like the Keepers on the Citadel now? 

Since we still don't know what precisely the Keepers are, I doubt it.

i still haven't been able to come up with one possible positive thing for the green ending, its all bs/evil, least with the other 2 there are certain things you can look at and say "well that might possibly be good"

I'm pretty sure Bioware intended for that to be the least evil choice. The "stop the reaper cycle once and for all" choice that also prevents a synthetic uprising from ever occuring again... Except it doesn't. All it does is unwillingly turn everyone in the galaxy into some undefinable cyborg. It does not prevent these new cyborgs from eventually creating their own servent synthertic AI's which will predictably rebel.

To say the Reapers' plan makes zero sense is an understatement. They are essentially working against themselves.

It's actually in the ME2 codex, not the ME1 one.   Just found it on ME Wiki too: http://masseffect.wi...com/wiki/Keeper - Sheds a bit more light on Tami's question too

Edit: I Think it was a private terminal message that you get but it adds a codex entry.

There's also a Star Wars reference, too (as in, SW did it first!).

In the codex there is also mention those people deliberately and grotesquely merging themselves with machines(synthesis?) to combat the dark matter threat, damn lore went up in smoke with the introduction of the catalyst, first we are told the goal of the reapers is to prevent dark matter spread thereby saving the galaxy, then suddenly the dark matter threat no longer exists and the ultimate goal of the reapers is to preserve organics from themselves, no wonder Bioware states ME3 as a good entry point, anyone starting at ME1 is gonna go WTF! in ME3.

We don't even know that since the Reapers and Keepers had a controller, starbrat.

How does starbrat control trillions upon trillions of living species at once, especially if he's sitting in single hub, without something like a mass relay available to theoretically transmit a signal across the galaxy. Also, I'm pretty sure he just changed every single living thing in the galaxy here. "Trillions upon trillions" isn't even a close estimate of what he has to deal with.

Also, does space magic secretly transmit recievers that get implanted into each of these living things as well? Do the new cyborgs kin also magically inherit these recievers. If it's genetic, it makes even less sense than robot DNA.

It is. A bunch of theoretical stuff that goes straight over my head. I know it pertains to the expansion of the universe but how idk:huh:. I also don't know if the dark energy in ME is supposed to work similar to or be the same as the real stuff though.
