Magic.

Not space magic, just straight up bona fide magic.

"During melding, an asari consciously attunes her nervous system to her partner's, sending and receiving electrical impulses directly through the skin. A common phrase used before melding is "embrace eternity," presumably to help focus the partner's mind. Effectively, the asari and her partner briefly become one unified nervous system. This unique means of reproduction is the reason asari are all talented biotics. Their evolved ability to consciously control nerve impulses is very similar to biotic training. The partner can be another asari, or an alien of any gender. However, since the asari began encountering other sentient species, non-asari mates have become preferred for the diversity they provide".

Otherwise known as SPACE MAGIC!

artistic integrity!

are you people seriously asking for scientific explanation from a game that you can do FTL, throw biotics, joining consensus with robots, etc.. now?

you serious people? and then call it bad writings right away?

BSN is getting more BS, I see.

right! like biotics have some sort of real scientific basis.  It's call science FICTION for a reason. 

I get shot but slap on some medigel and it's like it never even happened!

OP you have 3 choices:

1)Space Magic
2)Artistic Integrity
3)Bad Writing/Speculation

And to the trolls saying how no one complained about everyone speaking english, it's established everyone uses translators. When Thane calls Shepard Siha she out right says I think my translator just glitched. And up until the ending all of their science was at least consistent within the ME universe.

Seems a lot of people didn't read the codex on biotics.

[Dockerr]

Part of the problem here is not that it's unrealistic. FTL flight, sexy aliens speaking english and laser guns are all unrealistic. The problem is internal consistency.

Think about this: if the reapers have the sort of technology to rewrite all life in the galaxy at a genetic level, regardless of origin or chemical composition, and change it to their whims, then why are they still bothering with lasers and spaceships? If they have the level of technology to do that (indistinguishable from magic) why do they still bother flying in big scary squid ships?

Just activate the citadel and reduce all the sentient lifeforms to drolling vegetables, then go and clean up as usual. Or merge everyone's DNA with that of a bit of cheese, and then melt everyone with a big microwave.

The reapers being a (beatable) military threat cannot coincide with them having this sort of capability.

All of those are explained actually.

The ships are not actually going faster than light or even light speed.  They're using element zero to reduce the mass of space around them in order to seem like they're going the speed of light when in reality they're not.

The Biotics create power by doing the exact opposite, increasing mass of dark energy.

And technology is needed for biotics.  Even Asari need implants for it.

You do realise that all those things you mentioned are properly explained within the game itself and a great deal of it (FTL for instance) is experimental physics/science. Hence the term SCIENCE fiction.

Whereas a guy jumping into a beam of light causing synthetics to suddenly get DNA and organics suddenly becoming cyborgish is neither explained nor can it be properly explained. That, my friend, is FANTASY in space, also known as space magic.

Hey, whaddaya know! They all speak English and look anthropomorphic!!!  Hot Blue bisexual women?!  GTFOH!

1) its explained that Shepard has an implant in his head that allows him to understand all know alien languages, and honestly would you want to play a game where more then half the important characters would speek in giberish and you had to read sub titles. It wasn't fun in KOTOR and it wouldn't be fun here.

2) The hannar and Elcore say hello! Also if a species is going to evolve to the point of space flight your gonning to need something to help manipulate tools wether it be hands, tenticles, or telekinesis, so "humaniod" structure seems like a fairly logical.

3) Yes the blue space babes are something that got added for fan ******, this is not news.

Pretty much all sci-fi is based on bad science (FTL being impossible, an elemant with no atomic mass? THE HELL!?) we know this and we accpet it, but this BS science needs to be presented in a way that that it is believeable. Star child... was not.

What about the other issues?  I challenge you to link all aspects of the lore to real, hard science and tell me there isn't space magic in the other parts of the canon. I dare you.

and how is that even more scientific? plz clarify. because it has codex, now it's scientific?

last time I checked, you asked about how the beam turn everyone into cyborgs, not whethere it's consistent with the plots, properly explain (fictionally), etc.

He's using the power of artistic integrity. It's super effective!

My point is that it's all space magic.  So to say it at every turn only in reference to star brat is implying that everything else is well founded in science.

It isn't.

[Veggiesofmanycolors]

I was actually just asking how it made any sense. There is no explanation to it period scientific or otherwise.
