I'm curious as to what Leviathan has from
an IT stand point, from what I can tell a description of the creation of
the star brat doesn't exactly do wonders for IT sadly, but I am very
much lacking in knowledge on the subject. So can anyone give me a run
down, or far less intrusively, point me to one?
(reposting what I wrote earlier)
I haven't had the time to catch up with the thread, and I have no idea what the general consensus on Leviathan is (if any), but here are my thoughts:
Leviathan helps IT a LOT.
- It helps establish that Indoctrination/mind control techniques are very much capable of visually changing what the victim perceives.
- Leviathan says "Your memories give voice to our words", while showing Shepard familiar people who speak these words. This helps IT because it establishes that Reapers can use the victim's memories to shape what he perceives. (Hence the boy as the catalyst, the parts of the Citadel looking like places Shepard has been to)
Leviathan says: "Your nature will be revealed to us, accept this." This helps IT because it establishes that Reapers can indeed poke around in the victim's mind and know his/her intentions. ("I know you've thought about destroying us.")
My favourite line: "Your own species could be destroyed by a single thought."
