Would anyone actually prefer a real explanation of where they came from? Because I've seen a lot of "leave it a mystery" kind of comments. Just curious.
I'd rather not know, personally.

I think any explanation would be left wanting. Sorta like Liara's disappointment at the realization as to how the Protheans actually were.

I'm fine with it not being explained. I would rather it not be explained than them being the playthings of a god child hanging around the citadel.

I'd like a little closure on what the Reapers are. But I'd rather have a bunch of blown up machines from God knows where, than to know that some God created them and then forced me to destroy galactic civilization.

Now that they've explained the motivations behind the Reapers/Catalyst, an explanation of their origin is almost mandatory. Both or neither, IMO.

For me it was made clear that the Reapers are a 'solution' creted by the Catalyst, god-child, whatever, to maitain and preserve organic life, while letting the primitive ones to evolve and come to a new cycle. Their origin is that simple, they are hyper-advanced sapient constructs hybrid of synthetics and organic...
I'm still trying to put all pieces together, since I've beaten the game 2 hours ago, it's a TON of information.... I'm all confused about the ****ing entire "WHYs"...

They're already revealed to be dumb DNA sarcophagus's with a simple megalomania VI program... how else could they ruin them?

I don't need an explanation. Because they already botched the point of their existence in writing. Seriously being synthetics created by God Child to save us from self extermination by synthetics by exterminating us before we were exterminated by our own synthetics.
What team of writers thought that made any sense?

“Chandana said the ship was dead. We trusted him. He was right. But even a dead god can dream. A god — a real god — is a verb. Not some old man with magic powers. It's a force. It warps reality just by being there. It doesn't have to want to. It doesn't have to think about it. It just does. That's what Chandana didn't get. Not until it was too late. The god's mind is gone but it still dreams. He knows now. He's tuned in on our dreams. If I close my eyes I can feel him. I can feel every one of us.”
That's what the Reapers were before ME3's ending, and that's all they ever needed to be. Where they come from and why they do what they do is irrelevant, as Vigil stated - they were unknowable, and when it comes down to it, it's either kill or be killed.
And it was our job to figure out how, and then to DO IT. No more, no less.

I was happy with the explanations from the previous games, we don't need to understand them we just need to kill them and that would of been enough. But tbh almost anything would of been better then what we got.
Hell even my half baked theory about Harbinger being built as a final **** you from a civilization about to be wiped out by it's enemy was better.
