When it comes to the preservation of life I'm guessing the Catalyst was more concerned with rampant AI in this galaxy, because if an intergalactic AI army arises intent on destroying all organic life in the universe, there isn't much it could do about it anyway.

I have to wonder about how long the reaper system could sustain itself. It's not like the galaxy is a never-ending cornucopia of sentient organics. What if at some point, the reapers basically exhaust systems that are actually ideal for advanced organic life to develop before it figures out the solution to the problem it's apparently trying to solve?

The save the people goo to re-seed planets if that occurs?

I am open minded, i am growing tired of Sheppard anyway. I think the story needs to continue and expand from the original idea. If not i think Mass effect would be dying with this and maybe the next edition. And i think people should accept that there can be more than one hero.

Since one of the chief complaints of the DA series was DA2 and getting locked in to playing a human (Hawke in DA2...though I loved me FemHawke and my FemShep).  

I only played Fem Hawke for one game in the series.  Shep was there for all 3.  I was not so attached.  I guess it depended on your Shepard.  I loved my Fem funny lesbian Hawkes.

My angry or goodie 2 shoes male Hawkes not so much.  Paragon Shep, not so much.  Renegade Shep was fun for me in RPG even though I usually don't play that type of toon, it wasn't fun for all three games.

I'm hoping they let us choose completely different types of protagonists.  Not just different sexes, but different races.  I thought the Inquisitor was not as well developed as most BioWare PC toons, but I think that was just me.  We didn't click except for one Lavallen with Sera romance.

I want to a chance to take out and find my new protagonist.  Jerk, witty, chaste, ****, hypochondriac, nerd, dumb and blonde or with a crest...IDC, let's see what we have...what we can be...let's play...that's the whole point of an RPG...and 9/10 times BioWare makes a good one.

If you don't think so...why are you on this forum?

Okay, no1 will ever have the KOTOR revenue twist where you sit there with your mouth agape and go WTF?  That was brilliant.  Just like if you weren't paying attention and fell for Sixth Sense.  You will only be fooled once...but I hope you were...it's worth the ride.

C'mon BioWare...we're all hoping you can do it again...the problem is we're all looking...when we were playing KOTOR we weren't looking, or I wasn't.

I hope I get b!tchslapped by a plot-line like that again.

Please.

I know you want to deliver, and we all want to get whipped...I try to avoid the ME:A threads for this reason.  I don't want to peak.  I should just walk away after Nov 7th and not look...but I want 2...damn...

I'm always fine with new protagonists. I mean, I liked Shepard well enough...at least most of the time. But was she really the most charismatic protagonist out there? Because I'd say no. Especially throughout most of ME2 she was nothing but an emotionless hollow shell with a gun. I'm more worried that we get a "Shepard 2.0" as our new protagonist because we're forced to play a human again.

The question is not whether ME can be good without Shepard, it's whether it can be good directed by Mac Walters and written by the dude from Halo 4. 

[Daemul]

I really don't care about ME:A not having Shepard, dude had his chance in the sun and I killed him at the end of Mass Effect 3 anyway. I always kill off the main character of a video game when given the choice tbh, the protagonist dying gives the most closure since you aren't left wondering what happened to him.

I'm guessing they ensure that a certain number of systems have the potential for advanced organic life before they leave, perhaps they even terraform or something. They must have a system, they've had one billion years of practice.

I got the impression that they left societies that are advanced but aren't at the space-faring stage yet alone. Like the Yahg.

They do. The Asari were a civilization during the last cycle, since they have records of meeting deities who turned out to be Protheans, and yet clearly the Reapers didn't wipe them out.

They do, but eventually, they would come back and wipe them out anyway.

Yeah, a problem that I always had with the ending. It just plain didn't work from any direction.

They weren't an advanced society. They didn't have the tech level to become a target.

There are some who think Mass Effect is about Shepard just like there are some who think Dragon Age is about The Warden.

Note that the Citadel races had some terraforming projects in various stages.

Also, while there are plenty of once-inhabited sterilized worlds around, it's not clear that the Reapers are actually responsible for those.

bad comparison is bad

[Milana]

 Mass effect was always about Shepard and his companions, Dragon Age was about the world itself...well at least thats how i saw it.

That is how Thedas and Dragon Age has been advertised.

 

But the Dragon Age forums keep getting threads started up demanding the return of "the true protagonist" aka the Warden, because they, for some reason, think the Warden is the only one who can keep Thedas moving or something. 

 

They don't like that each game has a new protagonist telling a different part of a changing world.

They weren't an advanced society. They didn't have the tech level to become a target.

They had a system or writing, math, medicine, agriculture. That's primitive compared to modern times, but in the grand perspective that's advanced. But they weren't spacefaring thus the Reapers let them be.

They probably would have spared the Yahg who didn't achieve space flight yet.

 

This just means that in order to fit the Catalyst's flawed criteria for being labelled advanced the ability to travel between the systems is the bare minimum requirement.
