I was just rewatching this (great review by sfdebris btw) as I noticed something: he talks about how in ME2 your main enemy are the Collectors and that there is lots of talk about it, but you rarely face them, only in 3 missions to be exact.
Now in ME3 the focal point is again the Reapers, and there are again 3 missions that actually are about defeating them, but again you never really take out one of the big ones.
And another thing he mentioned at the end of the review: "but the frequent references in the game is to humanities wide genetic variance, not to mention the plague on Omega was to force such mutations on other species" note that these references aren't only by Harbinger, but also as a side note in Mordin's loyalty mission. Now if we look specifically at synthesis: does this in any way support any genetic variance? I guess not, as one of the goals is to make something more equal.
I don't think BioWare would just drop this. Also Tali specifically mentions Haestrom in ME3 while mourning after Legion sacrificed itself, Freedom's Progress is never mentioned, it's mentioned in a dialog when doing the Tuchanka bomb with her (seems again like ME2 is was planned to be more open instead of streamlined), and it's a side note for a conversation with Liara when choosing her for the Dreadnought.
1. Well since Shepard is always on foot, it's hard to have him/her tackle a capital ship. They made Destroyers specifically so Shepard could fight mini-Reapers on foot. That said, I agree that it should've happened. It would probably require some convoluted logic to have Shepard survive a battle with a capital ship, but I doubt it'd be worse than the current silliness we have where the Reapers trust all the super important tasks to a lone Destroyer when there's thousands of capital ships just roaming about looking scary. In fact... since so many people think IT was too subtle (donno how, but okay) perhaps in a Shepard vs. capital ship battle, what leads to the Reaper's downfall could be the fact it refused to outright kill Shepard and insisted on taking him alive.
2. I always thought they should've used the "humans have wide genetic variances" for the complaints about everyone in ME being straight as an arrow. It wouldn't work for the human characters but they could've reasonably said aliens don't vary in sexuality and that it's a human thing. Then again maybe it would backfire and people would just be offended, thinking it was implying there's something wrong with it. ... Anyway. I think the reason the Collectors were testing viable mutation variances on aliens is because the Reapers now know how much they can modify/mutate/augment/whatever the current species. For instance, they know what they've done the most effective mutations to marauders that they can survive. Clearly asari had the highest threshold though. Seriously, how asinine is it that the enemy who can take the most damage is a naked asari? Brutes, which are mostly krogans covered in actual armor, can't handle
nearly what a naked blue chick can?

Except we were already building Jump Zero out beyond the orbit of Pluto in 2143, and we didnt discover mass effect technology until 5 years later.
So sure, maybe they cant build a FTL drive without eezo, but theres really no reason they wouldnt have tech, and even slow starships to just explore the local system after 10,000 years.
Wait, what? You sure that timeline is right? Because they got element zero from the Prothean archive on Mars. To say that Mars is much closer than Pluto would be a monumental understatement. I don't recall how far Mars is, but it's relatively close as far as planets go. Earth is about 8 light minutes from Sol, Pluto is about 9 light hours from Sol. In fact Pluto is so far out that astronomers aren't sure if we have a planet beyond it because it's so far from the sun it's just too dark to see. Which is interesting since based on gravitational evidence many believe there
is a gas giant past Pluto.
... Sorry, I digress. My point is, Pluto is a hell of a ways to go without mass effect technology.

Well, it took us 2,300 pages but we've finally degenerated to an incest discussion. The only thing inevitable on the Internet.

"OHSH*T!" had me laughing so hard! Why you make me wanna mess with people in MP? Wish I had ME3 on 360 so I we could get a few rounds in but alas I'm a PC gamer.
I don't know why either. It's a pretty asstastic thing to do. Go into a co-op game and troll your "team" into wasting their attention and ammo on a fake enemy. Yeah, it's a real mystery why so many people hate MP.

Hell since I'm grasping at straws now might as well finish my theory that the Reapers gave the Geth a very primitive boost of self awareness to provoke the morning war (IMO the term "does this unit have a soul" is far too individualistic to have been the geth achieving self awareness by themselves)
Wow, that'd be a fun twist. And exactly the kind of douchebaggery that Sovereign would've loved to pull.

No kidding! This is one of the greatest experiences of my entire (Admittedly short so far.) life. I've met great people from around the world, and I've participated in discussion with people who's intelligences are far greater than mine who also love this stuff as much if not more than I do.
Don't sell yourself short.

Has anyone noticed when Shepard is talking to the Reaper on Rannoch the Camera goes really funny, and also when was Shepard able to "talk" to a reaper. We've only spoken to reapers via VI's, never the actual reaper.
Unless Shepard can understand Reaper language, a sign of early indoctrination.
Yeah, it's been brought up a few times. The literalist interpretation is that it's because the Reaper's voice is just really loud. Because it's not like Shepard is around loud stuff like gunfire, grenades, explosions, ect. all the time. Another part of it I find very interesting is that the Reaper rambles about the impossibility of organics and synthetics co-existing. Tali and Legion are standing a few feet away and neither one chimes in on the topic.
Tali and Legion had nothing to say about that topic? Yeah, okay.
