I think it will actually tie into the Sha'ira trinket quest somehow.


My memory of that is too fuzzy.  How so?

Shapes of the heads in the cave painting either look asari or prothean. Could be both. According to Javik in dialogue on Thessia, the protheans (under the guise of the Athame Doctrine) played a key role in advancing the asari as a potential race to beat the reapers in the next cycle. I have no idea what that giant thing on the right could be though. If Leviathan is truly a rogue Reaper, maybe that's what he looked like before being Reaperized.

The description of some ancient event makes it sound like Reapers visited Earth at some point.  Perhaps that could tie into Leviathan's story arc?

I remember something, the trinket is used on an orb in a planet,
Shep then sees a vision about cavemen.

Here you have some more info, had to check ME Wiki as I could not really
remember exactly what the vision was all about, only cavemen came to mind...

Mass Effect Wiki - Eletania

The Vision

Examining the strange Prothean artifact reveals a small, irregular slot on the underside of the surface. Remembering the strange trinket you received from the asari Consort on the Citadel, you pull it out and
place it in the slot. The ball explodes in a brilliant flash of white light, momentarily blinding you and
disorienting you.
 
Slowly your senses return as you wake from a deep sleep. You are alone in the forest, though you are not
far from the caves you share with the others in your tribe. There is a pain and a small lump in the back of
your skull, as if a chip of flint has been forced under the surface of the skin.

Leaning on your bone-tipped spear for support, you rise to your feet. A sound draws your attention upwards,
where a strange creature hovers high above you. It is unlike the birds you hunt by the lake's edge – it has no
head and no wings yet somehow it flies. It is a beast of shining silver; hanging motionless in the sky like a cloud.
You sense it is watching you, studying you.

Raising a hairy fist, you shake your spear at it in anger and the creature rises up quickly until it disappears
from view. With a satisfied grunt you make your way back to your caves and the rest of the tribe.
You fall into the familiar patterns of life – the hunt for food, the struggle to claim and keep a mate, the battles
against the other tribes that would claim your territory. Days roll into nights and back into days. Each time you
rise from sleep there is the sensation that you are not alone; that some "other" is with you sharing all you see, hear and feel. At these times your hand goes to the strange lump at the back of your skull and you remember
the silver creature from the sky.

The air grows colder, winter falls. You must range farther for food, clutching the furs tight against you to ward
off the chill. It is on one of these long hunts that the strange bird returns. You hear it before you see it, its call a
deafening roar as it descends from above, swooping down on you. A single great eye opens on the underbelly, a
glowing red orb. You try to run, but a finger of red light extends from the eye and engulfs you, and all goes black again.

You wake an instant later to find yourself on Eletania lying on your back, the Prothean artifact looming above you
undamaged and your companions standing over you. They help you to your feet, puzzled. "There was a flash of
light and you just sort of toppled over," one explains. "Are you okay, Shepard?" the other asks. You don't answer
right away, wondering at the implications of what you have seen: the memories of a Cro-Magnon hunter,
captured by an implanted Prothean data recorder. How long did they study the primitive humans, observing them
and analyzing the results at their base on Mars? And what, if anything, did they learn from us? "I'm fine," you
finally reply, realizing that this is a mystery you will probably never solve. "Forget about it."


edit .. tried fixing wall of text in quote.

That's the proteans studying early humans, not the reapers. And yes, leviathan has been hinted at since ME1.

Probably just more lore-breaking, unless Bioware manage to tie it in with the rest of the Reaper lore in a realistic way. But remember, Reapers don't interfere with pre-spaceflight civilizations. Maybe this is what the rogue Leviathan did. It became a deity for a paticular race, although this would imply that Leviathan is a typical sovereign-class capital ship, which makes it a little less interesting.

It's written by not mac walters. I doubt we'll be breaking any lore.

This would all be a lot more interesting if at the end of the dlc you don't simply recruit this Leviathan to become more useless war score, and get to read a small little excerpt on how important it is to saving the galaxy!!! Now if they reworked the ending to some how include the Leviathan, say....Leviathan blows up the crucible and everyone is like "Bro, wtf! I thought you were on our side!"and Leviathan is like "No bros, that machine was a lie by the reapers to lure you into a false sense of dickdom". Then Leviathan can be all like "I will show you how it's really done bros" and you help him proceed to kill the living **** out of harbinger in an epic big boy fight dick.

That was probably the only creepy/cool part of the trailer to me.
And it will probably be in the DLC for a single frame or two.

For some reason I found that hilarious
Reminded me of how ME would be in cartoon dialogue

It would be totally rad, man, if you could overhear a conversation in the citadel talking about the cave painting, then scan a planet to retrieve it for them.

The huge thing on the right of the painting is leviathan. He never got put in a shell and so you see his "organic form". So the long arms that go all the way down to the ground and thick body are leviathans features.

Least this is what I believe to be true. He might have been put in a reaper shell but broke out I dunno.

Bro, if I wanted your opinion I'd have asked for it. Unfortunately for you, yet fortunately for myself I have not asked for it. Thank you for attempting to give it though! :happy:

Huh? "Organic form" please explain, because now I'm picturing a giant the size of a skyscraper crawling out of a broken Reaper.

Well this painting will likely be just background with just one line delivered by Liara. While in my head it will tell the tale of how it all began.
