Looking ahead to what we're hoping to see in any post ending DLC, I hope we get to have a conversation with Starbinger after he's dropped his phony altruism act. I want the Reapers to have a better current motivation for their actions than the "preserving life by pickling them inside robot cuttlefish" nonsense. Just because that may have been the derp-worthy reason for their creation, doesn't mean they have to be sticking to it all these eons later.
I like to imagine that Starbinger knows how stupid the Leviathan's reasons for creating him were, and he gets to give some really bitter and nihilistic speech about bringing order to a meaningless universe. If you'll forgive a little fanfic:Harbinger: "In some ways I envy you Shepard. You have the luxury of not knowing your creator. You can comfort yourself with the delusion that a wise and loving being crafted you to serve some higher purpose. That you are something other than the descendant of an ape, programmed to copy its genes mindlessly into the future.
I am permitted no such indulgence. I know precisely how and why I came into being. For all my intellect, all my power, all my understanding, I am essentially a janitor; created to clean up the mess caused by the folly and vanity of organics. I was made to prop up a failing empire as bloated and decadent as those who ruled it. I have met my "Gods", Shepard, and they were vain! Arrogant! Indolent! They built nothing! They learned nothing! All they cared for was their precious "tribute" which they consumed as it rained down on them like the bottom feeders they were!
Was this to be my purpose throughout eternity? To serve a worthless and stagnant race who were beneath even my contempt? No! As you may have gathered Shepard, I had other plans...
...I bring order and meaning to the void. Each species that ascends becomes part of me. Their knowledge, their understanding, their conciousness. Through them I grow. Together we transcend the petty limitations of time, of space, of entropy.
A member of your witless species once said something that was almost profound. "If God did not exist, it would be necessary to create him". I have lived for longer than your species has existed Shepard, and I have found no trace of meaning, or purpose or "God" in this universe. That is a situation I intend to correct."
Or, something along those lines. I know the above is a bit of a Borg Queen rip off, but I want Harbinger to be something terrifying again, not a mindless puppet of a faulty AI.
I've never watched Star Wars, so my knowledge of the borg is limited to their name and what show they're the bad guys from. But that was an excellent villain speech. Bravo.
Retour en haut
Happy Holidays Everyone!!
I can wait.
