Well, they have an influx of several billion credits per annual quarter...

Which is at least three times that of the Alliance military fund according to the treaty of Ferixen. 

I find that VERY unbelievable, since the Alliance has the support of entire nations, while Cerberus is just supported by a few companies and rich individuals.

For that matter, how is Cerberus getting all that money? You'd think that most of their supporting companies would draw back due to the looming threat of an alien invasion or at least lose some of their income. But apparently, they're getting more than ever.

Some people have weird priorities.

You forget that the Reapers are backing Cerberus and you don't need large sums of money for that support.

Not to mention they have been building up their military branch for years if the codexs are any indication.

Yep! Cerberus wasn't treated as a threat until they decided to be a threat.

If we take back Omega, would TIM and Kai Leng will be involved in any way?

Why not, I like Kai Leng....

Looks exactly like the ones you already see in the codex... only with green tint effect.

So would these files also contain Information on upcoming multiplayer DLC, a la EC?

[raw6666]

Go to youtube and look for Omega retake, it reveals they are sound files for Aria thanking shepard for helping her retake Omega.

Not nessasarily.

Leviathan
(finally) gave the ME3 Reapers a full circle narrative path. All be it
should have been in there to begin with like was planned, but oh well.

If the Leviathans had been in the game at launch along with the EC, the narrative errors would not have been so egregious. 

I
can understand why some people didn't like it, they wanted the Reapers
to be the Lovecraftian horrors they were in ME1. But a lot of the time
leaving an enemy unknowable in the end leaves the audience polarized, as
with what happened at the end of the Dune series and why it was hated
so much (the last two books.)

I think at this point no matter what BW does, it's going to ****** people off. 

While you're right about the narrative path, that doesn't mean I have to like it. Or anyone else, for that matter. IMO, the less they tell us about the Reapers, the better.

Wellll, I thought keeping them in mystery was lame so ME is not a lovecraftian story thus Reapers never worked as lovecraftian villains to me so I wanted there to be some explanation to them and frankly, I like the explanation. Though it rips off heavily from VIKI (I, Robot)

Not saying *anything* about them would've been lame. Then they'd be like a hit and run driver. But alluding to their potential motivations and keeping all that shrouded in mystery would have been tons better than. "Yo dawg..." (You probably know the rest. Lol) It also would have fit with their "You cannot possibly understand" attitude. What we currently have does not. In all honesty, I have a hard time taking any of the Reapers seriously after playing ME3. If they couldn't come up with something truly mind-blowing, they should've just left it alone.

And no. Nothing about the Reaper origin story has blown my mind.

Sure, leaving them shrouded in mystery would have upset some people probably as much as the current story upsets people, but at least you could come to your own conclusions and actually speculate in a *good* way. Not the way where you have to imagine Shep being pulled out of the rubble and reuniting with friends.

@CDR.

Of course, no one is telling you that you have to like it. It's just the way it went down and is as of now.

[jules_vern18]

Endings stay unchanged, my viewpoint stays unchanged. I have no need to buy filler in the middle of a story that has already been completed unless I'm satisfied with the WAY in which it was completed. Criticize that all you want, but I won't encourage any DLC that continues to ignore the narrative travesties that have occurred since ME3's release.

BIOWARE: if you throw me even a BONE on these endings...enough so that I can feel a sense of accomplishment after completing this game...I will happily buy all previous DLC to complete my collection. Until then, sorry - I'll be spending my money elsewhere.

Happy gaming to the rest of you.

[Reofeir]

I didn't expect the reapers to stay a mystery the second I beat ME2. After that I just wanted to know more about them. Now I just want bioware to keep making DLC that expand on the universe & help solve some plotholes they created with that ending. Then I'd be a *very* happy fan instead of just a happy content fan. That's just me.

[TheJiveDJ]

Does this mean I get more o' them fancy war points?

[raw6666]

You know, if they do this DLC, I want to fly a gunship. We have drove every vehicle that's a war machine (Mako and Hammerhead), and flew in a car. Its time we took a Gunship and lay wast to large number of idiots.

I don't think you can drive them, I think it like one person drives while the other controls the turret and knowing our shpeard, we get the turret rather then the wheel. Are squad mates hate our driving.

Because they'll make a difference.

Way to troll.  We all know nothing makes a difference to the ending of ME3.

I hear you on that, but the flipside is the more they handle story bits, the more likely they are to drop the ball again. Pretty sure I don't want the ball dropped on the origin story...

It's not far gone, IMO. They could still save it for me, but when I finished Leviathan, I was even less satisfied with the Reaper story than I was before. Except for the part where they pretty much confirmed the Catalyst was bats*** crazy, but that makes the fact you actually have to do what he says even harder to swallow.

see i would have preffered if they ended me3 with the leviathan dlc

basicly after getting levi to join you in the big fight it couldve been just one big ol cutscene of all the remaining non harvested leviathans killing reapers

[mango smoothie]

Well here's hoping we'll be able to kick Aria out as leader of Omega at the end. I really have no interest in leaving her in charge of Omega again.

Honestly, I never wanted to hear their origins and never expected to. With a build up of "Incomprehensable" and "Impossible to understand" and "Your job is to beat the Reapers; not to understand them", NOTHING they'd ever say would be satisfying to hear. There is nothing anyone could ever say to justify that build up because anything anyone comes up with will be perfectly comprehensable and unsatisfying.

They were Lovecraftian. Guess what the first rule of Lovecraftian is? WE DON'T KNOW WHY THEY WANT TO KILL US. Its similar to cutting away when someone sees something frightening in a movie. We'll all imagine something to justify the reaction the actor is giving. We'll all imagine something that terrifies us. However, if they show what the ghost/monster is, It won't live up to our imaginations of what it was or it just simply isn't scary to us.

The reproduction motivation was perfectly fine. It didn't explain their origins, or their entire motivations. It left considerably room for mystery. Leviathan and the endings shine several giant spotlights on that beautiful mystery.

Also, sometimes, the things that live with us after the story has ended are the things that are never explained.

If we do fight to take back Omega, it would be a shame to give back to Aria. I'd really like to have my very own giant space station. That, or let Cerberus keep it. Either way, Aria needs to pay for making me play errand boy.

It'd be interesting if that becomes the DLC Choice.

However, I don't think Aria would go down so easily. I think she would anticipate Shepard trying to '**** with Aria'.
