No, no more reapers. I'd rather see BW focus on creating something new, instead of bringing back the same old villain.    

[Sifr]

Nope. Mass Effect 3 ruined the cosmic horror aspect of the Reapers, and I don't want to see what Bioware would do to them next.

 

Might be a twist to give us a cosmic horror story from the Reaper's perspective.

 

Imagine our ship finding the remnants of a Reaper fleet on the edge of Andromeda, that reveals they found something in intergalactic space they attempted to harvest, but couldn't completely destroy. Shortly afterwards, members of the fleet began to succumb to insanity and attempted to kill each other, leaving eventually only one surviving Reaper, who then discovers that the thing had survived and had "hatched". The remains of that last Reaper are alongside a warning beacon, and closer inspection suggests that the Reaper was not destroyed by weapons fire, but by being bitten in half.

 

Imagine that scenario playing out, but with the writers never telling us what the entity that wiped out the Reapers was.

 would hate it if the Arc was a dead reaper and we somehow managed to bring it to the new galaxey only for it to wake up and kill people

Spoilers.

There is always a bigger fish.

Okay more serious answers.

 

Primary plot involvement - Minor at most. Good with scattering of Reaperness all over, or a smaller but important arc like Geth have had, but definitely not main antagonists.

Secondary plot involvement - Sure. Really. There's a lot of 'ifs' with that, but in itself, sure.

Tertiary plot involvement - Um okay? Not sure how much I'd enjoy a single sidequest that reminds me Reapers were a thing though. I'd be upset if they're too big, but also annoyed if they're too small.

 

Antagonists - Okay maybe, but I'd rather that if Reapers come back, it should be more complicated. And maybe not called Reapers.

Main Antagonists - Absolutely not. Move on.

Tied into concepts - Sure. Reapers were a huge deal, like it or not. Even in the sense that I doubt our ship will not have something that relates to Reaper tech. Its a part of this universe.

NPCs - Split. Part is okay with no Reapers. Part is wanting a continuation of something about them (NOTE: This does not even literally mean a damn giant space cuttlefish. Have imagination. It can mean many things, including even a mission with a scientist building a mega AI using Reaper code and it 'reviving' as a version of its previous 'self'. Whatever.) And part outright wants something insane like discovering that the Milky Way actually got harvested (IT, etc), and we have to go back and 'take it back' (Take Back Earth on steroids). In any case, I'm not opposed to Reapers continuing in the terms of the broadly defined entities.

 

Reaper 'Army' - No screw off. At most, I'd like some twist of a Reaper remnant faction with their own character. Absolutely never ever bring back a story of Reapers exterminating life. Even if we get to see it again, have it something of its own nature like going into a virtual reality where we witness and explore the events of previous cycles being reaped, not actually have that plot. We had that plot, one way or another, for 3 games and the 3rd was the biggest about it. Move on from that at least.

 

Reaper combat enemies - No... mostly. I'd accept two things at least: a game with many unique enemy NPCs and it turns out that some of them are husks or similar (like Thorians being special reskins of husks in ME1), or enemies that are derived from Reaper tech or a similar concept. But no I definitely don't want a major group of enemies we shoot to be friggin husks. A Collector-ish situation, maybe, but still I'd want it more removed from Reapers than event that.

 

Basically I'm okay with 1/4-1/3 of the game to bring back a Reaper-ish context but any more than that and I'd ask what the point is to move to another galaxy and story. Continue the universe, sure, fine, reveal new contexts, sure, fine, and have a 'series integrity', sure, fine - but the big fight against the Reapers is OVAHHHH.

 

I'd like to ride a Reaper though.

[Timberley]

No.  I'd prefer it if the Reapers were the villain in the MW series, and the Andromeda series got a new villain.  Ideally something that's a lot more insidious and frightening than the Reapers.  As Pearl said, the Reapers lost their cosmic horror factor in the sequels, and I'd love a return to that ineffable (and scary because of it) alien mindset.  But, this depends if Bioware are going to create a series villain or just have a different one per game.

 

Edit:  In terms of Reapers being referenced, their tech being alluded to or part of the Pathfinder Expedition's tech, then I have no problems with that.

I like to have Harbinger back only to hear him talk smack to the main character and say "ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL"

[Helios969]

I've thought about this a bit.  It could be interesting if there was one who "overcame" its programming to reject the Catalyst's logic that synthetics and organics cannot coexist...and fled to Andromeda.  Maybe it's all busted up, barely functioning, and mostly remains hidden, but has a history of periodically helping organics.

[wrdnshprd]

i have no problem with the reapers being in Andromeda.. i have a huge problem with God child and the collectors being in the game though..  

[Revan Reborn]

Only if Harbinger gets to assume direct control every five minutes:

Otherwise, I had my fair share of giant, robotic fleas for a lifetime.

Yes, pretty much this. Lol. That little brat, I wanted to kick him away all the time.

Aww he's my best buddy! We were such good friends I chose destroy and blew up everything!!

 

The only reaper I want in this game is my own personal ship to cruise in!

I know! I saw you taking him to the park, hand in hand, or I mean citadel and you bought him candy too xD

[Mlady]

Meeting a Shepard who chose Control would be a cute easter egg, but I don't think they should be the main enemies again.

[Revan Reborn]

I saw you lurking in the bushes! He was a cute kid! He's just misunderstood!

[Onewomanarmy]

Oh sh*t!! I didn't know you saw me.... and I refuse to give him a chance, I REFUSE IT!!

[Revan Reborn]

No ride for you in the rainbow colored mako then missy! I still want a reaper ship though.

So you choose that little brat over me?... how could you? 

[Revan Reborn]

Aww don't be that way. Just give him a hug! I'll even help you do it! We can then all fly away in the reaper ship with Harbinger assuming direct control happily ever after!

[Onewomanarmy]

Yessss, that is the best ending everrrrr

[EpicNewb]

Being as advanced as they were I'm sure the Reapers had a means to get to other galaxies.  They would come back to the MWG every 50,000 years.

 

As they wait for the MWG to replenish itself they should have been harvesting other galaxies.

 

If Andromeda is nothing but fairly primitive races along with remnants of an extinct advanced civilization, perhaps we showed up right after the Reapers just got done with a harvest cycle in that galaxy.

How would you feel if the Reapers are apart of the new game? If it's only a brief mention, an ancient derelict ship, or heavy involvement, please share your opinions below.

 

I wouldn't mind finding a Reaper corpse on a barren world. The whole thing would be a mystery, found when exploring a new planet for a base or something. Maybe there could be a brief side mission involving indoctrination but we resolve it pretty quickly? I wouldn't mind that at all. I hope they are not apart of the main story though. I'm sure they won't be.

[Arcian]

Yes! I would love it if the journey was only possible due to reverse-engineered Reaper technology. I would be happy if the tech looked the same. I do love to look of Reaper tech.

Spotted the indoctrinated.

[ziyon conqueror]

When I went to Comic Con 2013 and met members of the DA team, I told them that if in any scenario if the Reapers lived, in-game characters would still harbour hatred for them and try to destroy them.

[Atomkick]

I don't care but I do want one frightening(like scary af man), strong villain with badass voice like Sovereign and Harbinger had. Reaper sounds are cool too.
