So instead of doing the logical thing, which is capturing the Citadel and shutting down the relays to prevent Shepard to unite the galaxy, you know, what they used to do in the past and always succesfully did, they instead desperately try to indoctrinate Shepard?
I have to attibute this to video game logic. It wouldn't be much of a game if the Reapers just did that.
Well, maybe they didn't shut down the Relays because they were trying to lure the organics into a trap....
i think he meant from the beginning of the game, like instead of attacking Batarian space & Earth first.
They also didn't later on.
That's what I'm saying though. The moment the Reapers would lock down every relay, the game would cease to be because there is nothing the galactic community could do to stop them anymore, thus not being very fun.
Ill repost both my thoughst on why the reapers dident storm the Citadel:
1: Without keeper control the Citadel Defense Force could close up the station and deny the Reapers access. Even they would need alot of time to break through the stations armor. Instead they are probably waiting for Indoctrination to take hold of someone who is in position to prevent that from happening, like Saren did in ME1. This adds more reason to the Cerberus coup as well.
2: Following Saren's attempt (from the Councils point of view) at seizing control of the station and the discovery of the main control console it is likely the console was upgraded in security, like cutting of acces to it from Citadel tower (menaing a Reaper cannot seize control of the station through the tower).
Another possibility is that when Sovereigns leg collided with the tower it destroyed or damaged the controls in such a way that the tower can no longer be used as access point.
This would mean the Reapers would need to send in ground troops to secure the Main Citadel Controls in order to log down the Relays, but in doing so C-Sec and the Citadel defense force gets a chance to fight back. In short all those Citadel assets is what might be preventing the Reapers of seizing control of the staion and shutting down the Relays.
Just my two cents.
