Harbinger is made of Leviathans. Like probably billions of them. Therefore, he can create an enthrallment more powerful than the one in the Leviathan DLC. The Intelligence wanted that power so that it could control both organics and synthetics. Harbinger is there at the beam run where he zaps you and it goes to a dream transition and then there's the *zap* . I think Harbinger is guiding things in the unconcious delusion if he's not the "Catalyst" itself. He is the oldest and first Reaper, largest and most powerful and the implied leader. I think it's a pretty open and shut case that he's this " intelligence" that turned on them.


How can Harbinger be the intelligence that turned on the Leviathans and turned them into a reaper, if Harbinger himself is that reaper made from the Leviathans? That doesn't make any sense.


Because the Leviathans explicitly say so.


Wasn't it something along the lines of Harbinger being the first Reaper, and was then used to defeat the Leviathans?  My memory is a bit hazy on this.

Checked the wiki (lol) and it says pretty much that the Leviathans went into hiding after Harbinger's creation, who then began the Cycles.

But then that's coming from the Leviathans.  Who can't be trusted in the slightest.


Th intelligence turned on the Leviathans and created the first Reaper from their genetic material. The Leviathan tells Shepard that this intelligence is known to Shepard and he current cycle as Harbinger.

I like how he speaks so authoritatively on behalf of everyone. Really strengthens the points he's making


That's because I don't spend all my time in this little hole but actually spend time on the main forum as well. I talk to many people from BSN, also outside of BSN. I'd never make bold claims about the fanbase without knowing it is true, but this time I know for a fact that what I said about the majority is true for 2 reasons:

1) I speak with the other people

2) the stats of the poll made by one of you ITers show this. Look at the information Restrider gathered. You can't deny those stats.


Oh please. You poke your miserable head into threads that barely have anything to do with IT and spew nothing but ignorance and misinformation.


Don't talk about crap you know nothing about. You don't know what I do or did on the BSN and you don't know who I talked to and what I talked about. Unless you're a creepy stalker that follows me around on the board, a very misinformed stalker it seems.

You know nothing about me pall, other than the bit of information I made public about myself on the BSN.


I don't stalk you. Don't worry. Its just that stupid avatar and sig of yours are hard to miss. 


A cool avatar and awesome signature that I only have for a couple of days/weeks now, on an account that I only have for a couple of months now. Before this account I used to have a different account. I've actually been active on the BioWare forums since the release of Mass Effect 1. Bet you didn't know that, did you?

Consider what we were discussing earlier, and you might get a better idea what I'm referring to.

You know, couldn't Chris techniquenly just log into his BSN account and lock this thread due to length regardless of vacation or not? That would be very cool if he locked the thread due to length during his vacation, because that would mean that he follows this thread when on vacation!!!

No they don't. They say they created an AI which turned against them and created Harbinger.

Do I need to spell it out for you?

Leviathans > saw organic v.s synthetic conflict > created superior AI

AI > betrayed Leviathans > created Harbinger


AI =/= Harbinger

Well, I was talking about the slides, but yeah, the Catalyst was still sketchy even after he " explained things."

Who said they put me off?  What's putting me off is the giant sign that says, "Please confirm that you're 18 or older before downloading this."  I'd rather not lie about that.  I mean, there's a difference between this, and inputting my dad's date of birth to access game websites for Mature rated games.

The bolded are opinons. It's rather well implemented if people didn't figure it out. It's an ending designed to trick you, similar to Jade Empire's ending. The rest of it is your bias talking.


Which would be great if the game itself revealed that we were tricked. However, it doesn't. Instead, BioWare did the exact opposite. They made the EC to expand on the endings in a literal way to make us happy with the endings. Now lots of people are content with their ending, be it Control, Synthesis, Destroy or Refuse. The BioWare staff also keeps saying and keep repeating they're NOT going to change, add on or expand the endings anymore. The endings are FINISHED. People learned to live with it and moved on. Most people like the endings now. The people who don't moved on, except for you IT folk it seems.

Pulling an IT plot-twist NOW would only ****** a lot of people off and it would truly do BioWare more harm than good. They should have done that when the hype was at the greatest. They should have done that instead of the EC. But they didn't. They decided to give us an EC that expanded on the endings in a literal way instead. That kind of killed the IT for most people, except the minority posting in this thread.

You see, I bet that if Restrider made a poll about the IT BEFORE the EC, a whole lot more people would be inclined to believe they were tricked and that the ending wasn't real. But BioWare completely destroyed that idea for most people by expanding on the endings in a literal way with the EC. It's the EC that killed the IT really.


The EC created even more questions than it answered, actually.


How so?

And if it did than well, alas, there is only so much you can do with polishing a turt.

Rewatching the scene now.



"Your mind belongs to me."  Very telling.

But yeah.  They never actually say The Intelligence is Harbinger, but they heavily imply it.

"It chose our kind as the first Harvest.  From our essence, the first Reaper was created.  You call it Harbinger."

So, this AI decides he'll just hang out on a space station that was created AFTER Harbinger was created for like a billion years?

You must be the only person who actually pays attention to age limit restrictions.

That being said, once you hit 18 it doesn't seem like a big deal at all.
