why or why not?

 

 

[SKAR]

He doesn't really need to know. He may be dead or he may be fighting the collectors who knows? But he didn't volunteer.

[dreamgazer]

Say what you will about Liara's minor gaps in knowledge during ME3, but there's no way that the Shadow Broker wouldn't have had a dossier of info about the ark ships.

He deserves to know but shouldn't for safety.

 

Shep has tons of exposure to Reapers.

 

He's at high risk for being indoctrinated

[KotorEffect3]

Shepard doesn't need to know,  Shepard is trying to stop the reapers.   Only people that need to know are the people involved with the Ark project.  Any more knowing and you risk exposing the plans for the expedition to the reapers.

[KaiserShep]

I don't think that anyone who doesn't have a role in the expedition should know.

He probably knew and didn't volunteer. Or he was dead. But shep never indoctrinated.

[TheJediSaint]

Why would Plan A need to know about Plan B?

[Ralfufigus]

No. If Shepard wound up getting indoctrinated (which you have to admit was a safe thing to take into consideration) say goodbye to the Ark project...

[Cyonan]

Assuming the Ark project was a failsafe in the event that we lose the Reaper war then no, because knowledge of such a project would be on a need to know basis and Shep doesn't need to know.

 

Even if I were in Liara's place as the shadowbroker and thus there was like a 99.99% chance that I knew about it, I'd probably still not tell Shep about it in the event of indoctrination which while it doesn't happen is still something you should be safe against since everybody else who comes into contact with the Reapers ends up that way.

[Iakus]

Yes.  Shep already knows about the Crucible.  And has Spectre-level clearances on everything in the first place.

 

Besides which, sooner or later he's bound to overhear something on the Citadel, fly off, and find some vital object needed for the project anyway

[prosthetic soul]

Shepard's dead.  No point in letting him know. 

[Kabooooom]

Nothing. In fact, I would even go so far as to say that telling him anything at all would be the most strategically idiotic thing I can possibly think of because:

1) He has had a ton of exposure to Reapers and Reaper artifacts, and there is no way to know if he has been indoctrinated and even if not, his risk of that is higher than almost anybody in the galaxy.

2) He used to work with a human terrorist organization, and while his loyalty seems obvious to the Alliance, to other alien groups...not so much.

3) For reasons 1 and 2, he is not on the need to know list. Telling anyone who is not on that list "just because" could compromise the entire operation.

[FKA_Servo]

And meanwhile, Shepard's busy dealing with the crucible.

 

Honestly, there's no reason why it should be unusual for Shepard to be in the dark about this thing that doesn't concern her at all.

[Pasquale1234]

Yes.  Shep already knows about the Crucible.

The Crucible was Plan A.

[BioWareM0d13]

No.

Intel should be shared on strictly a need to know basis, and Shepard didn't need to know.

[Barquiel]

She should probably know about the project, but I can't see what difference it would make. I mean, there is no guarantee that the ark vessels even reach Andromeda.

[themikefest]

No

 

Let Shepard worry about dealing with the reapers and the others worry about that other stuff

[Iakus]

The Crucible was Plan A.

The Crucible was plan O

 

As in "Oh, sh*t!"

[Fixers0]

Of course Shepard should have known, He's a Spectre and pretty much the most important person in the universe during ME3, Not to mention that the resources and manpower that are needed to construct the Arks would have to be drained from other projects.

[Iakus]

No.

Intel should be shared on strictly a need to know basis, and Shepard didn't need to know.

Shepard is also scouring the galaxy for supplies.

The galaxy is big enough for the Crucible and a fully funded Cerberus, apparently.

 

It's a big galaxy, is what I'm saying. There are still enough resources (and heretofore unknown factions to direct those resources) to fund something like the ark.

[dreamgazer]

Why would Plan A need to know about Plan B?

Depends on if Plan B's already launched or not.

If the ark ships are already gone, then yeah, Shepard doesn't really need to know.

If the ark ships are in development and eating resources that should be going to the Crucible, then Shepard needs to know.

[Hanako Ikezawa]

I think Shepard deserved to know, yes. For a simple reason: Shepard was the spearhead of the operation to defeat the Reapers and save the galaxy. That is an extreme amount of stress, which we see hit Shepard more and more throughout the game. Thinking that the galaxy's only hope is the Crucible makes them think that if they fail, everyone will die. Knowing about the Andromeda Initiative would show Shepard that not everything is hinging on them, that there will be people who will survive. They may not need to know the details, but knowing of the premise would definitely help with Shepard's mental state which would help with the war effort.

It's not broken or unreasonable if s/he doesn't though, that's all.
