this misunderstood villains thing is driving me nuts. why try to make it look like the reapers were the good guys all along.

no srsly guys, we're here to help you.

no really, we're here to save you. it's all mean old catalyst's fault. (Who?) don't worry about it you'll meet him at the end.

unless they were intentionally trying to paint the reapers as good guys for the purpose of indoctri- *smack*.. speculation.

This seems to be a mix of both ME1 and ME2 crew (Ashley isn't part of your crew in ME2), just like Mordin (second from our left) is not in ME1 + The Illusive Man. Seems odd.

I'm not bothered about who they are, I'm more interested in how they appear to be viewing that reaper with superstitious awe.

So, anyone else think it's interesting that they have a countdown to the next operation, and that it says on masseffect.com that we are going to, "Unlock new characters and weapons by defeating the Reaper threat."? It sounds kind of, dare I say it, final.

Wouldn't we be a very clever bunch to have predicted this... oh, three months ago? ;)

Well isn't that the strangest thing?  We DID!  CHEESE FOR EVERYONE!  Wait, scratch that, cheese for no one. 

Anyway, if any of you feel like wishing me a happy birthday, I turned 16 on the 24th. (I know, it's a completely different topic, but since I didn't get the chance then...)

Happy legal age to do, erm, I'm not sure really. I'm sure it's great.

Anyhoo, I finished my ME1 playthrough and I notice if you save the council they do believe about the reapers, but a bit of time in the calming effects of the citadel they don't anymore.

Take Earth back? Oh, so we don't need Shepard after all? :D

Thanks everyone! Anyway, yes Raven, you're right. Kind of hints that something else might be going on with the Citadel, right? ;)

We might still need Shepard, but quite frankly, I think a team of Kroguards could do it. Posted Image

I don't think full indoc mind slaves or anything, but it seems most people who stay on the citadel too long stop thinking reapers are a threat.

Like James said, it's like it makes you want to forget.  I agree that it's not full indoctrination, but maybe some kind of pacification signal.  And my guess is that the Crucible amplifies it.  Hey, wait a minute... Okay, either the Crucible is a Reaper trap designed to pacify the whole galaxy, or it IS actually a super weapon, and what it does is amplify but reverse that signal so that the REAPERS are the ones that get weakened.

Aaaawwww, not even old enough to buy a beer. :D
(In Germany you could)

Happy Birthday, Dwailing!


BUT I still think it's just about the Earth DLC characters being in the commendation packs.

It could just be that, but the way they worded it...

The countdown thing is because the last operation had serious issues with people not knowing when it began or ended (the blog contradicted the forum and those who could have cleared up the matter were all seemingly on weekend break).

I find it more likely that we'll get a ReVeaL on Halloween, assuming the Rio Vancouver London thing is a message and the jack-o-lantern is supposed to peg that message to a date.


....and I stll want to know what's on that London television.

Vancouver in the vision from Eden Prime?
London beam in a vision in Arrival? And all those people Shepard knows stand in awe before Harbinger! That beam leads from the ground to Harbinger. Might be a figurative warning that the beam in London is a trap.

Imo that is a Prothean City, not Vancouver. Yes similarities are there but also distinct differences. You know "along the paths [the Reapers] desire".
And no it's not the beam, the only thing that looks remotely like it is the sun coming out from behind the planet where Shepard crashes.

Also not done yet:

the vision with Liara clearing it a bit up.
Images 049 - 055 especially... don't they just remind one of the ending of a certain game and a buildup in energy in some structure before it gets released? ^^

So what do we think? Is this the last operation in the story or the second-last?
I personally think we'll have one more, as a "rescuing personell" one [smilie]http://social.bioware.com/images/forum/emoticons/wink.png[/smilie]
