My respect is growing exponentially for Phantose, now, too. I love seeing logic in this debate. I've often said that one of the parables of Mass Effect is that bad parenting creates neurotic, crazy AI. Teh orthodox AI, whilst not violent, are neurotically terrified of organics to the point of suffering anthrophobia; I can only imagine how brave of an act creating and sending out Legion was.
And then consider Legion's experiences. The Creators are running unethical experiments on Geth parts to try to create super-weapons to destroy all Geth (orthodox included), he was subjected to hate and ire on the flotilla, he had to listen to how one man (Gerrel) wanted to see them all dead, and how one woman (Xen) wanted to see them all brainwashed. Despite understanding that Gerrel, Xen, and Tali's father aren't the nicest people, he still strived for peace through Shepard.
The Geth are far from perfect, but that says a lot about their intent in my opinion. Plus, they were clearly scarred by the Morning War. Not just by watching other Geth die, but by watching friendly Creators die, too. What Legion understands is that the Quarian people aren't racist, and Megara stood by Legion until the end. Again, I love the Quarians, I just think their fanclub flip-flops between idiocy, unethical attitudes, and insanity.
If the Geth hadn't been exposed to the acts of those insane Quarians within the military who wanted all Geth and Geth supporters dead, then they wouldn't have become so neurotic. Their overpowering neurosis and fear was the reason for the heretics to "wake up."
Just think of what happens when you abuse a child. They either end up neurotically afraid, or they go a bit bonzo.
Um... you realize that Phantose's entire comment was completely wrong, since
Legion himself personally discredits it?Legion says that the Heretics split from the geth becauce of differening ideals of how to evolve, NOT hate for the quarians. They had NO emotional responce what-so-ever to organics, until Shepard came along. THAT'S when they started getting an interest in organics again. And again, Legion was a
reconnicence unit - an infiltrator. NOT a diplomat.
Also, Legion was not aware of such experiments until after Tali's mission. And AGAIN, you make the flawed assumption that the galaxy is aware of the geth split. They do NOT know about it. Not until
after the Rannoch War.Also, I must remind you that Koris was the one that
incited courtroom fear of Legion to tip the polotical element in his favor.And AGAIN,
those events took place BEFORE the Morning War. NOT during. BEFORE. During the actual Morning War, the quarians were being butchered. Massicared. Self defense is not the same as the armed retaliation the geth used in the Morning War.
And furthermore, Legion tells you that the geth have no grudge against anyone. That's just what everyone else believes of the geth. No one knows any different. And Legion spicifically tells you that they became sentiant because they continued to interlink with each-other. NOT anything having to do with emotions. Not that early in their devlopment.
And all your arguement basically amounts to is "the geth are psychotic and can't be trusted. " That's basically what you are saying. I really hope that's not what you MENT to say.
Quarians shall be remembered as the warmongering fools that acted too soon and got their entire race killed for it when they could've just waited til the end of the war and gotten their planet on a silver platter.
