In the event you don't get that, it's an impression of Moriarity, Oddball's "Mechanical genius" whom, whenever he hears something he doesn't like to hear, says "Crap" and chews his cigar.

Ok, so I was bored, and started thinking about ME1.

What the hell is up with Feros? I mean, didnt the Reapers usually destroy all buildings on any planets they harvested? Why leave a city that covers 2/3rds of a planet completely intact?

And why is that planet coincidentally the one that has the Thorian on it?

It was probably abandoned long before the Reapers, most likely because of the Thorian, which they either never found, or chose to study.

I looked again at the thorian's dialogue and it was well aware of the "long cycle". So something happened.

Also it didn't look 'completely intact' to me. It was actually pretty run down by the time we stormed through conducting aggresive archeology.

Wouldnt the Reapers have still found Feros though? You'd figure a city that covers almost an entire planet would've been in the records the Reapers seized at the Citadel.

Well, yeah, 50,000 years of neglect and the buildings are gonna start crumbling, but they were surprisingly intact considering how long it had been. I doubt any buildings on Earth would have survived 50,000 years once the Reapers were finished.

I would of thought the same thing since they can cover a whole city block... :blink:

Why bother wasting time on a city that's already abandoned? They weren't concerned with wiping out the Protheans and all traces of them, merely killing them.

Actually, was it ever confirmed that it was a prothean world? Could it be a younger colony that got obliterated by the Thorian?

Remember that conversing with Saren was the first time that thing decided to communicate with meat. Otherwise, meat was "fit to dig or decompose". So it wasn't friendly.

Didnt Liara say someone specifically tried to erase all traces of past civilizations? Which was why Liara couldnt find any evidence to support her theory that the protheans were not the first galactic extinction?

Guys. GUYS.

Guysguyguysguysguys!

(and girls)

So, I just replayed the start, with music off and headphones, and when the shuttle with the kid gets shot down...YOU CAN HEAR A HIGH PITCHED, CHILDLIKE SCREAM. There is ZERO other noise at this point, with music off.

I'm going to replay the section just in case it was a glitch or I'm imagining things (geddit ;) )

Yes, she did. It seems her search strategy was not that effective up to the point when she met Shepard. I mean, 50 years searching for minimal piles of Prothean litter compared to stumbling upon Prothean beacons and VIs like every other day ;)

The story is really a bit inconsistent here - on the one hand this claim of the reapers wiping out every trace of the harvested civilizations, on the other a lot of Prothean ruins. So maybe the reapers really were happy with "kill all the Protheans" and didn't care so much for empty cities. Which is a bit odd because those cities normally should also contain tech and I suppose it's a lot easier for the reapers to simply blast everything than to send in husks to carry away all Prothean microwaves and the like.
