My other theory is that the Reapers were created to protect life, and by wiping it out maintained genetic diversity. Or perhaps they were created to save life from a far more evil entity. After all, Harbinger states that the Reapers are your salvation through destruction.

I have also been considering this... it would be interesting if somehow, the reapers wiping out intelligent life every 50,000 years actually helped organic life from an even greater evil. IDK, its definately a stretch

I have high hopes for ME3's story, expecting some crazy twist, hard to predict what it will be. Honestly I was a little dissapointed with ME2's story... building a terminator with human guts? but I guess they had to have some sort of filler if they want a trilogy.

Where are the good theories at? I haven't been able to find many on this site.

Just a bit OT.. but who "collected" for the reapers before the Collectors?



Thoughts on their harvesting/processing methods for their Shellfish outlook?

"the Reapers are your salvation through destruction."



I think they yust think they are a better creation then any life and becoming the material for one is the ultimate sacrifice a lesser specie can do. You reapers are all racists!

Indoctrinated species, such as what happened to the Collectors may have helped with this.

Vigil mentions that the Protheans were infiltrated by such agents, and given what happened with the Normandy and the various Husk related units moving and capturing the crew, it's possible that once the Repears took out defensive fleets of previous races, then the husks went around catching people, themselves possibly mentally suppressed through the indoctrination fields that the Repears emit, even when "dead".

So do they indoctrinate every individual before the turning-to-goo process... or the entire Reaper consciousness after it's been given 'life' ?

Yeah, that doesn't really work for me.

Yes they do. there is a mission in me2 that shows one of the devices. You BLOW IT UP! lol

See, my question was an either/or. I asked "do they do X, or Y?" to which you replied "Yes".

Come on, I shouldn't have to explain the definition of a question here.

Don't be a dick. I read what you said you didn't really have to look that hard to see what I meant. I was talking about indoctrination there all effected and it varys by what there trying to accomplish. With saren he was able to keep free will and with the ones on the mission i was refering to it was over the cource of a few days. You learn a lot about it during the derelect reaper mission.

Are you still trolling here? I'd have thought you'd get bored sooner or later.

My honest opinion is that the Reapers were created (possibly billions of years) ago by a much greater race. The sole purpose of the Reapers was to purged the galaxy of life to ensure the creators species dominance. Once the creator species died (or perhaps the Reapers pulled a Geth and turned on them) the Reapers continued to do so because it was what they were programmed to do.

This is what I was talking about with a few minor diffrences. Got side tracked trying to show proof for it all though. lol



Did you think billions because "levithan of dis"? or some other reason? Interesting theory on the purging the galaxy of all sapaent life before it has a chance and then really kool with how you assoiated them with the geth how they killed there creators when they tried to kill them when they found out they achieved sapeince. I like that.



Im not trolling . . .

A dick? The reason I asked is that I couldn't remember if it was stated at any point that humans were indoctrinated before being fed into the goo-tubes. It was a genuine request for information, which I received off other people. But thanks for your belated, uesless, a-hole response. It really made my day.

Why I said "that doesn't really work for me" is because I get the impression that the Reapers view organics as nothing more than fodder -- you might indoctrinate a tool, like Saren, as a means to an end, but you don't need to indoctrinate the cattle that you're going to slaughter. Yes, you blow an indoctrination device up in ME2 -- it doesn't state what it's being used for, IIRC.

I don't even know why I'm bothering with this conversation. You either act hyper-defensively when somebody dares to suggest an idea that runs contrary to your own opinion, or you post something that gives me a grammatical nightmare when I try to translate it into English.

My mistake but you must admit that your resonse to me could be consturde as an insult.

They may just well be fodder now but it was most likely they experemented on us made us husk to see if we would be viable for reaper reproduction.

We have dismissed that claim.

[Soruyao]

The reapers clearly don't indoctrinate the people they're about to paste-ify for processing into a reaper. You rescue your crew from pods and they clearly aren't indoctrinated at all.



It is also clearly stated that each individual geth program is like a VI, and that a group of geth networked together become an AI.



Just wanted to toss that in here.

This is just a theory, but it seems to me like the Reapers, create their Dreadnaught warships based of the design of the species they exterminated last. 

So this 50,000 years the Reapers are going after the Humens and useing their design because of Shepard's defiance of Sovereign and genetic compatibility.

Last 50,000 years ago the Protheans where not compatable enough to have Dreadnaughts made from them, so they where made slaves.

And finally last 100,000 years what ever form the Reapers where in defeated the Shellfish Empire that had rulled the Gallaxy and useing their genetic material created shellfish looking dreadnaughts. Eg: Soverein and ending ME2 clip.

Thoughts and comments?
