This doesn't have to do with the ending, but it's something that bothered me since the beginning of ME3. We already know that the Citadel is incredibly important, because it can grant full control of mass relays - we knew it since ME1. This is what Sovereign tried to achieve all along.

Question: now that the Reapers arrive in full force, why don't they stick to their original proven strategy and not simply beeline to Citadel and take control of the entire relay network? This is exactly what they did with Protheans, I don't see why not do the same thing. Why bother attacking developed planets piecemeal while allowing the organics to control the Citadel the entire time?

This makes even less sense if the citadel was really as important as the ending suggests.

I think it was because Sovern knew Shepherd was a threat and wanted to take Earth first because of how much trouble the Humans had become.

Wouldn't it be easier to deal with both Shepard AND Earth once Citadel is taken? It would prevent Shepard and his invisible ship to ever cause any trouble.

If that blows your mind, try this one...the guardian has been on the citadel the whole time? why didn't he activate the relay in ME1? why does sovereign have to do it?

Because Guardian is a little kid and he doesn't know how to work with computers?

I know what you mean lol.

This is what i've been asking.  It negats the entire series.  Also, why do people call him the guardian?  I've never seen that name reference, perhaps I missed it, if so where?

And what about the keepers weren't we supposed to learn more about them in the third game?

How about...why didn't the vi on ilos tell shepard about the crucible plans on mars and that he should immediatly go there if he win against the reaper and start construction and research on the crucible. I mean the proths tried to build it but ran out of time.

We learned absolutely NOTHING about the keepers in ME3!
Lies!!!!

Also didnt Ilusive Man know about the planned Crucible and Catalyst and since hes Indoctrinated wouldnt the reapers know about it and take more action to find and destroy it before its completed

It becomes even more bizarre once you think about the entire story of ME1. The only reason Sovereign needed Saren was because the original plan was to send the signal to the citadel bugs, but the protheans have made citadel bugs unable to receive the signal. WHY would they even HAVE such a complicated plan in the first place, when they could have easily just communicated with Guardian?

BioWare said in one interview that they were coming up with many elements of the story on the go. I can understand that, but when they come up with plots that invalidated existing plots - this is just plain poor writing.
