Fantastic, fantastic ride all the way up to the finale.

But
a giant terminator? Really? If plausibility weren't already thrown
out the window by that silly design, it's made of PEOPLE PASTE. If Reaper
technology is that advanced, they'd be able to clone people to make
"paste" and that would be a hell of a lot easier than kidnapping
colonies. The only thing a clone might miss are memories and
personality, but if you liquefy the brain it's not going to carry those
things anyway so clearly those aren't considered important.

The
narrative is relatively plausible up to that point but Terminator-Reaper
seems like a joke compared to all the intrigue and pathos surrounding
the Illusive Man and Shepard's team. Maybe the scenario writers just
ran out of steam?

Either way, it's a minor gripe. I just hope there's something more...logical planned for the Reavers in the finale.

They're not filling it with "paste", it's genetic material. The reason they can't use clones is because they need the genetic diversity, to be able to filter out less desirable traits and create something genetically "perfect" in much the way Miranda was created but on a far grander scale.

The Collectors create reapers by selecting the most capable species, using the very best possible genetic material from them for a base, then creating a resilient artificial shell to house it. Almost all Collector technology actually follows this schema, it's why they're always trading for genetically unique lifeforms. It's why they create husks, to test the compatibility of organic life with reaper-based synthetic material.

They couldn't clone them because cloning takes resources and they would have to harvest those resources, so they cut the middle man and just harvested people. Also it is only the interior command structure of a reaper made to act like a human because humans kicked soverign, or Nazara's, ass.

What the guy above said. It's not about cloning a few humans.



It's about taking a /ton/ of humans, filtering their genetic material and selecting for the traits they want. That needs lots and lots of people.



I didn't mind it. Yeah, it looked a bit weird, but I thought it was cool.

I thought it was a fantastic boss [a bit easy on normal but I'm sure hardcore/insanity is gonna kick my ass] and I loved the build up and explanation of it. I sort of sat there and went "Oh snap" when that revelation came up.

Can you imagine how much more terrifying it would be when it was full size like the other reapers but with that shape/design? *shudder*

The Reapers now don't look...scary, they're just...big and powerful. But the human one getting to maturity? Oi. Someone hold me ;_;

I wonder if Nazara is the name of the race Sovereign himself was built out of...

I think Mass Effect 2 had the hardest job of the trilogy. It was "easy" to build a story around establishing a huge universe in Mass Effect 1. Part 2 had the difficult task to come up with something new, while not spoilering too much of the final events.

I think Bioware did a great job with Mass Effect 2, while I also didn't like the final boss too much.



Mass Effect 3 just HAS to be awesome, there are so many possibilities to end the story. So many side stories that could possibly be finished, for example the Quarian/Geth relationship.

Given the fact that Mass Effect was planned as a trilogy from the beginning, most of the ideas for the ending should already be in place.

I wouldn't be surprised if it showed up again in ME3. Even in its larval stage, I doubt a reaper would be destroyed that easily. It's probably floating out in space somewhere, damaged, waiting for someone (Cerberus, heretic Geth, rogue spectre) to recover it, repair it and turn it against their enemies.

I could easily see the Illusive Man wanting to use it. He certainly wanted to keep the Collector facilities intact, and a few thousand human lives would be a small sacrifice for the assured galactic dominance of the human race. He might even think it patriotic in some fashion to use a Human reaper as Humanity's ultimate weapon.

The first time the Human Reaper fetus... thing... started sharging up his mouth laser, homing missle things I had only one thing to say...



"Aw f**k"
