Maybe the star child was scarred by AI at some point in a huge galactic war against the AI. This is thought provoking material. We must understand the mind of the star child.
Here's a more comeplling idea -- get rid of the Starchild.
Instead, leave the Reapers as independent and ultimately "unknowable" forces of evil. That way, we aren't left feeling like we've just massacred/enslaved/become a conglomerate of organic lives trapped inside horrific metal shells. As they are now, they are only misused tools of a misguided machine. Very intelligently thought out.
"We are each a nation, independent...We are beyond your comprehension. We are Sovereign." - Sovereign (the galaxy's coolest, and simultaneously most egregiously uncessary, villain)
I feel accomplished for playing through Mass Effect 1 now. Since, ya know, I stopped Saren and Sovereign from letting the Reapers in. Turns out that neither of them were needed, since the Citadel apparently moonlights as a petulant child capable of doing everything itself.
