I'm not defending any of the available scenarios. Though destroy is much less of a stretch, electromagnetic wave fries Reapers, it's still a contrivance.

I do not say these things to antagonize anybody, nor do I bear any hostility towards Bioware. But it annoys me a bit when people defend something that the author so obviously pulled out of his butt in a few minutes time. I'm not asking for anything extraordinary, but do not respect this kind of inconsiderate and haphazard work.

Yet you're doing what you say that you aren't doing because ME3 doesn't conflict wants established in ME1 and ME2.  The problem here is that some people are overreacting since writing is subjective by nature.

My general response to "Space magic" has always been with disgust. AtreiyaN7(in a different thread) summed up my contempt with those people with "If someone is too lacking in imagination or science chops to come up with a decent hypothetical explanation and needs to be spoonfed one by BioWare, that's kind of not my problem, is it? "

In a universe where electrical impulses to a node in the body somehow makes a person levitate a group of people, the concept of a wave of energy that includes DNA altering nano-particles is somehow space magic and radically different from the fantastical explanations for whats happened in the story before. Well...

Nano-machines wouldn't be a stretch while the wave of energy in Gears 3 or the Halo series would be more of stretch then Control, Destroy, and Synthesis.

Yet the science in sci-fi usualy contradicts real science like Element Zero in ME, ostrich eggs in Jurassic Park, and the level of robotics in Deus Ex.

I already the "Brave New World"  while drugs always has an overdose point and Prey is still about a Native American using the spiritual world to combat aliens, which both are magic.

I love it when some people abuse quotes especially when Tolkien really didn't care what people thought of his work and the Lord of the Ring series is mainly Fantasy not Sci-Fi.


... You have no idea what you are talking about.  And I am beginning to think I am troll bait.  PREY is a book by michael crichton- IT DOES NOT INVOLVE ALIENS.  Jurassic Park is based on technology that could exist by using DNA from mosquitos and ostrich eggs, the level of robotics in Deus Ex are actually QUITE possible, and finally the type of stories Tolkien wrote is irrelevant.  He was talking about story telling in General.  Now before the stench of me becoming troll bait becomes too overwhelming-  I am leaving.  Bye Guyz!  Have fun with your bro game.

I see you resort to insults when you don't get what you want and you never specificed what "Prey" you were talking about until now.

To use an ostrich egg you would need to de-evolve the ostrich into a reptile and that ostrich also needs have offspring.  Also we don't have the technology in Deus Ex and you're still wrong whether you like it or not.  Btw you should learn what "troll" means especially when you're abusing the word.
