Oh yeah, because the Quarian's attempt at genocide, that was not provocation. I mean, who would really consider an attempt to murder every last member of your species as provocation?
I believe that person was referring to the Geth Heretics in ME1. At that point the Quarian Flotilla had not engaged in combat with the Geth forces as a whole, the Heretic faction was formed after contact with Sovereign who at that point was seeking allies. This led to the inevitable conflicts between the player and their allies and Geth forces.
In that instance, the Reapers were indeed the instigators of the conflict. Up until Sovereign arrived the Geth were just keeping busy with their repairs of the Quarian homeworld and the construction of their megastructure.
No. Just no.
This is nothing more then an illusion created by where you draw lines.
The Quarian flotilla did engage with the geth.. It tried to kill them. Their entire species.
It's why they were on the boats in the first place.
Yes. Just YES.
And your proof is? Honestly, refute the point. The Reapers provoked the geth into attacking humanity. That made the geth's reputation worse. The Heretics also perpetuated an entirely NEW conflict by assaulting/involving a faction that was entirely seperate from the one their previous war was with (the quarians). So YES, Sovergien antagonized the geth into starting a new conflict, that certinly did nothing to better the geth's reputation.
That is a fact. Your proof of otherwise is?
And AGAIN, the reason the quarians didn't stop to talk is because the Geth Heretics promoted an image of a geth collective that
had already attacked the rest of the galaxy. Remember,
the Heretic schisim was NOT public knowledge, even as late as the Rannoch War. Diana Allers straight-up tells you in the geth/quarian interview that the last time
anyone heard
anything about geth, it was that they attacked the Citadel. The Alliance classified anything and everything having to do with any mention of a "Geth Schisim." So, as far as the quarians knew, the geth already cast the first stone and declared open war on the galaxy at Eden Prime and the Citadel. As far as the quarians knew, the geth tried to kill
everyone at the Citadel under Sovergien - which is now
publicly confirmed as a Reaper.
Therefore, once again, as far as the quarians know, the geth hate organics, and tried to wipe out
everyone three years back, so most moral delemas don't apply to that, let alone the possiblity that the geth are friendly and want to talk.
And the fact that the geth recalled Legion, and prevented him from responding to Tali's messages is only further proof that the geth weren't interested in talking anymore then the quarians were.
As for the Morning War, the quarians have already admitted they have remorse for that. Tali tells you on the Alerei that the reason the quarians never tried before to retake Rannoch was out of guilt - for how they'd panicked about Council repraisal. The Council's laws would have punsihed them harshly. They had no way to know that
both options would screw them over.
Besides, with how high the death toll was, the geth's kill rate was either due to methodical butchering, or simple mass murder. It's one thing to shoot back at an attacker. It's another to mow down the woman and childeren in the surrounding 50 square meter area.
