"Interview with Mac Walters (Lead Writer) 3/7/12 Issue 108 of 360Gamer (Hardcopy only, not available online)
When asked about the science of the game being plausible
"From very early on we wanted the science of the universe to be plausible. Obviously it's set in the future so you have to make some leaps of faith but we didn't want it to be just magic in space." "
Combining synthetic and organic life into a new form of life across the universe using a pulse from a giant gun......so totally not space magic.
Thing is, it's not even just space magic. Even the series I've seen or read with the most insanely powerful forms of magic haven't done something as over the top with magic as synthesis. Rewriting the most basic works of life itself, now and forevermore, for the entire frickin' galaxy. That's not even magic, that's
divine. Seriously, it only makes sense if problem child is
actually God himself. And even if he was God, why is it only across the Milky Way? Each galaxy gets its own special (and I mean that in more ways than one) deity?

Btw, (among many things) still lacking an explaination: How did it take the Reapers only 6 months to reach a relay all the way from dark space? If they are 'so fast' then what was the point of Arrival and the death of all those Batarians if it didn't really help anyone to prepare?
Isn't killing batarians kind of its own reward?

As an aside, more in relation to how many people say they won't support DA3 because of ME3.
Alan Schumacher makes me want to play DA3 just to support that team. He's been very nice in posting his fan opinions and makes me think that the DA3 team will learn from the ME3 team to make a good game and ending.
So, props to Alan. You are one of the few who keeps me vested in Bioware and getting DA3
The best argument not to support DA3 is DA2. It's a pretty flawless argument too. Especially if they go that terribad route that a lot of fans (apparently also fans of narcotics) suggested, that the PC of 3 be a seeker.

Yeah true. And don't forget that the LOTR didn't end well for Froddo. He pretty much suffered from kind of PTSD (Rifneno I hope you'll read this) "The Shire was saved, but not for me" were his words I think...
It's absurd, from a narrative point, to reveal in the last minutes of the end of a trilogy, that your archenemy is just a minion of someone you've never heard of before...
I don't know... it could work in a way. They've said the end of Mass Effect's trilogy is the end of Shepard's story but likely not the last we'll see of the ME universe. Given that we're likely to see more ME games, I could deal with revelation of the Reapers having masters out there that still have to be dealt with in future games.
IF, and only IF they are not an immediate threat and we can't currently attack them. Most likely this would be due to distance, them residing in another galaxy and such. In other words the war is truly over and we didn't just move onto stage 2 immediately. The characters we know and love are safe and they've earned their peace. Battle with the Reapers' masters could take place hundreds if not thousands of years later.
On the other hand, it wouldn't be hard to come up with another enemy. Less than 1% of the Milky Way is known. They can come up with any number of possible threats. To be truthful, I think they wasted a real opportunity by having the Reapers destroy the batarians early on. They would've worked well for the next game. Imagine if the batarians invented something new and immensely powerful that they could use for war. Pretty much everybody hates those bastards. They'd be good villains. At least the hegemony themselves.

This might be true. Why would BioWare programmers include readable type info in a compiled executable? This approach just increases file size and memory requirements.
Because nanites. DUH.

Harmony of Man and Machine sounds like Reaper speak to me.
"The relationship is symbiotic, organic and machine intertwined, a union of flesh and steel, the strengths of both, the weaknesses of neither! I am a vision of the future Shepard, the evolution of all organic life!" - Einstein. ... No wait that's not right. Churchill? Oh, right, it was Saren. Well he's trustworthy too I guess.

Something along those lines would give long-time/thorough players a way to survive the indoctrination process even if they mess up as long as their choices earlier on were solid.
