So when the Codex supports your side, it is absolute fact. But when it doesn't, it is only "what the galaxy knows". Interesting.
It depends on what the codex content addresses, and whether there's any observable in-universe evidence or limitations.
When it comes to the tens of thousands of years between Reaper cycles, this is literally all we've got of what they actually do.
I was actually addressing Nohvarr and ZoliCs with that, since if we're going by what the Codex and wiki says then intergalactic travel is not currently possible, especially if the Reapers haven't even done it since that rules out reverse-engineering that technology from them.
But I wanted to post the purty picture ...
I enjoy the galaxies picture. 
How is it a change to the Reapers' lore if there's zero evidence that it's actually part of the lore?
I feel like you are incapable to make sense. It is stated numerous times that the Reapers are hibernated in Dark Space. And somehow, without evidance, you come up with "what if they don't?" and expect it to be a viable argument against the Ark theory.
Actually you even expect Bioware to make the Reapers do something that would harm ME:N's story.
This is so illogical I can't even be bothered to go on with this.
If you (and the others) want to constantly cry about the Ark theory, conveniences, contrivances, ass pulls, retcons, lore breakings, abandoning the Milky Way, and want to tie the hands of the writers with your arbitrary and petty demands, then be my guest.

I never used that argument so take your ridiculous one liners somewhere else.

You've made/agreed with the argument that the ark would have just been kept secret thus that's why it isn't in the lore or Codex yet, but when it comes to something you disagree with, in this case the Reapers having the capabilities of intergalactic travel, suddenly that lore is rigid and they don't, despite the only person who says that being Vigil who admits it is just a hypothesis on his part. You can't have it both ways. Either the Codex is just "what the galaxy knows" and open to being wrong about everything, or the Codex is the rigid laws of the series and can't be changed. So which will it be?
Also, no need to be aggressive.

I just want them to show us getting there, they can take us there in the magic school bus for all I care!

It's not in the Codex because the writers didn't come up with yet and it had nothing to do with the game. Do you expect every game's plot element to be in Mass Effect 1's Codex?
I'm more disappointed in this Ark/ reboot/ whatever in the fact that I'm once again a N7 human soldier.
Why can't I play as an alien?
Already the game lost me and sounds lame.

Wanting to avoid "conveniences, contrivances, ass pulls, retcons, lore breaking" are not "petty demands.
And if not having them ties the hands of the writers, then we should just let the IP die anyway, as it's not worth continuing.
But good try at trolling.

Meh, the aliens, aside from the (pre ME3) geth, were largely Humanoid Aliens anyway. Just humans in alien costumes.
Indeed. Now, let's count the number of sources who make this claim with any knowledge whatsoever of what actually happens in darkspace.
It's the only thing that was claimed. Ever.
Everything else is just your fanfic.
Seriously, they didn't think about traveling to another galaxy and observing the chaos of organic evolution over countless 50k rest periods?
Of course, the natural argument to that is: but why wouldn't they? And the only real answer or justification for any of it is that it depends on the story Bioware wants to tell.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Sums up every argument so far.

Why would they? If the problem description in their original programming made any references to the galaxy, 'throughout the galaxy', etc., there is no reason for them to have expanded it to include other galaxies. Since synthetic intelligence is limited to the information given them (plus any new info they acquire) and neither the Leviathan nor any other galactic civilization were shown to have much data about any other galaxy, there really isn't much to support any notions that other galaxies would be of interest to them.

Maybe it's just my personal preferences kicking in, but I honestly can't think of anything that would render Shepard's entire journey through the trilogy more thoroughly and completely moot than the ongoing presence of reapers anywhere.
If traversing to another galaxy is possible, then any synthetics in other galaxies can reach this galaxy, destroying organic life here. Therefore, to safeguard life in this galaxy, the Reapers must travel to other galaxies and harvest life there to prevent them from developing synthetic life, which will travel to the Milky Way galaxy and destroy all life there.
Everything you think you know is really just Vigil's fan-fic.
I'm not sure you are aware of what fanfic means.

Yeah, this is a good point. As someone said before, it would be pretty hilarious if the next game revealed that we'd only dealt with a tiny fraction of the Reapers' multi-galaxy fleet and the rest of them were on their way to finish the job.
ME3 is pretty much only an epic story because we're dealing with the Reapers once and for all.
... and it's for that reason that I don't think the Reapers will ever be a significant plot point again. I don't think the new game will even mention them much.
I'm not sure you are aware of what fanfic means.
All Vigil did was fill in a massive gap of uncovered time in the Reapers' story with what it believes, or would like to believe, is the truth.
Sounds exactly like fan-fic.
Now I'm sure you aren't.
It can be called Vigil fic. Hahaha

It's more accurate to say that the Codex is always what the galaxy knows. Sometimes the galaxy is right about stuff. Sometimes galaxy is wrong about stuff.So when the Codex supports your side, it is absolute fact. But when it doesn't, it is only "what the galaxy knows". Interesting.
