Should you ever encounter a Talihater, use this on them:

Will do!

In fact, since Shepard was able to talk a Saren into killing himself, Shepard's charisma > Reaper indoctrination.

If they do this every 50,000 years, and we've got evidence from 37 million years ago (the derelict Reaper) that this was going on, then they have completed the cycle AT LEAST 740 times.  With 2 known casualties.

Also:  if they put a single race into the smoothie machine each time (assume 50% success rate, since the protheans didn't work out for them), that also means there are at least 370 Reapers.  Chew on that for a moment.

Should we start naming them after Pokemon?

I'm sure they already have cool and ominous names like Sovereign and Harbinger.  Just sayin'.

What, you don't think the Reaper ship 'Clefairy' or 'Jigglypuff' is cool and ominous?

If there is a reaper named Jigglypuff, I think I may have just found something more epic than Tali

 Hey, did you guys talk to EDI after she got unshackled? 

She's able to tell you the stuff she couldn't before. What's interesting is she stresses that she is the Normandy now. "The hull is like my skin"

Normandy = mini-Reaper. 

And Shepard's charisma is the Normandy's version of indoctrination. 

Tali's indoctrinated:blink:

My first night here I brought up the question about what would happen if Tali were taken and indoctrinated by the Reapers.

Did NOT win any friends with that. . .sorry again, folks.
I know it's not looking that way, but I really do love Tali! I do!

Yeah, I've looked at those numbers before.  Definitely not good.  It's always possible that the success rate is less than 50%, but I also doubt that they could only get 1 reaper per civilization.  Didn't it say somewhere that the protheans had near a trillion people?  37 million years is also the minimum

37 million years of genocide.  Victims in the trillions.  The Reapers are pretty much cosmic ass holes.  I will enjoy ending their sorry existence.

But in their eyes they're saving people.  Without reaper intervention, eventually all races will fizzle out and die.  By being lifted into the heavens by the reapers into a form that lives forever, they save lives.

I imagine that's their view at least.

i wonder what BioWare was thinking when making Tali in the early concept days of Mass Effect?

I'm not sure, but the man who created the character should be given a promotion. And a raise. And also made president of something. He's earned it.

Erm, I cautiously agree. ME2 was nowhere near great, but Tali alone made it way better than it would have been without her, so sure. Promote who ever thought of Tali Bioware.

Indeed, but remember that that Protheans were taken completely off guard. The were cut off from one another, the Cidadel taken over, and the Mass Relays shut down. There was no way to rally an army of any real strength. If they had, then the Reapers might have very well been done for.

At least we now know that they're coming and Shepard is building his army and it's becoming pretty damn formidable.

There's a Reaper called Tushie-Butt



In the language of its long extinct race, it means: "World Ender"

The smoothie machine seems to twist all the "ascended" races around to the Reaper point of view, since we don't see any dissenters to the horror of repeated galactic genocide.  So I don't know just what they're preserving.

They're also preserving only a tiny fraction of the galaxy's diversity.

Thanks, realized I was ambigious about some things
She lived on the citadel during her pilgrimage, not before
And Han'Gerrel only told him how to get approval, Shepard didn't acutally get it
