How much do the Reapers hate Shepard now?

[Skulltaker101]

Just finished another playthrough of Mass Effect 2 (full Paragon Infiltrator, if you're interested) and I remember something that EDI said when you find the human reaper. So it's kind of a Reaper foetus, right? Does that mean Commander Shepard ABORTED a baby Reaper?

Also, I'm wondering about ME3. How the hell is Shepard going to kill every single bloody Reaper there? Speculation, if you please.

Use his stabby holo-UI to download a virus into Reaper mainframe? By stabbing one! Yeah!

Hell they did it in Independence Day! Those aliens must still be sorry they used Macintosh computers, I tell you!

He'll get 25 kills.

Shepard is forced to flee the planet in order to gather support from alien civilizations and mount a counter-attack while also having to deal with Cerberus, who have decided to turn against him/her.

Look it up at wikipedia.

I still don't get how a counter-attack can work. Even if he gets the armies of all races, Harbinger (or was it Sovereign?) said, and I quote: "our numbers will darken the sky of every world". Considering how much of a problem they had against just Sovereign during the Battle of the Citadel, I'm very much doubting the effectiveness of any counter-attack they could possibly launch.

Yeah and when the Borg said 'Resistance is futile' Picard totally believed them and just gave up and went home, because what's the point right....

:/

Reapers are made out of genetic material of different species that is represented in their form, like Nyancat Reaper is made of lots of cats for example.

I think the Reapers hate Shepard quite a bit by now... Harbinger seems capable of emotions at least.

The Borg were making an assessment of strength without really knowing what they were getting into with Picard. The Reapers have shaped all of civilisation and they know for a solid fact that not only do they outnumber and outgun the other races that exist, they know that only 1 (2 if you count that pointless abomination from ME2) of their number have ever been destroyed before, and that was a lucky thing by itself.

I'd say they've got their facts straight, their arrogance is pretty well backed up. Still, I'm looking forward to how Bioware manage to resolve this in a way that doesn't involve a sudden Deus Ex Machina pulled out at the end.

They have always relied on surprise attacks through the ME gate at the citadel. They have no clue how they would fare if they lost that advantage. They have also presumably never had to face enemies who knew their inner workings and now, after the Collectors failure Shepard has their blueprints.

Shepard has done a lot to counter Sovereigns shenanigans elsewhere to weaken the universe, such as the Rachni threat, the knock on effect on the Krogan and the Geth indoctrination.

The war wasn't just about killing it's the small things too. Shep has taken their insidious plan apart. They only have brute force and strength of numbers now. Lets see how they do.

I doubt Reapers feel hatred, they probably just see him as a logical threat.

 

[Cheesus333]

I guess there'll be different ways of killing them based on Paragon and Renegade. The Paragon option could be defeating them with a logical fallacy or something, like convincing them that they're alive and must therefore self-terminate.

I don't know, Harbinger seems to have some sort of 'grudge' going on. That implies hatred or some sort of feeling at least.

I think it's the opposite, I think they see him as the pinnacle of human evolution and have some form of admiration and fascination with him.

He isn't. More likely, he's just going to find some way of shutting off the Reaper threat permanently, by somehow preventing the vast fleet from entering the galaxy.

At least, I bloody well hope so, because it's been made quite clear that there's no feasible way of destroying them all without resorting to some hideous bastard deus ex machina solution worthy only of Doctor Who.

Comparatively? They're minorly irritated.

There are TONS of Reapers, apparently, with a kill-count of YES (So large it's crazy). Shepard isn't gonna be able to moider them all. Because I doubt that the eons-old squid-vessels are in anything as stupid as a series that can haphazardly allow any kind of signal to kill them all, or be dumb enough to not notice anything big enough that CAN kill them.

Shepard is digging himself a phyrric DEFEAT which is dependent only upon Reaper laziness.

Hmm you may have a point. Whatever the case he at least recognises him on a personal level. His 'speeches' definately felt like it had some sort of emotion towards Shepard.

We can definitely agree on that

Maybe Harbinger is the new LI....

O.O

He would still be more popular than Jacob.

 

[Greatjusticeman]

Probably as much as a machine could. I still think they view him as annoyance except he has upgraded from minor to major after ME2.

However, I wonder if Shepard is the first somewhat threat the Reapers have ever faced. I'm sure there have been a few heroes here and there millions of years ago that did something.

 

[Cody Kraktzor]

Yes. the citadel fleets (and the Normandy 2 if you remember) do have weapons that can hurt the Reapers. Two words...
..Thanix....Cannon..

 

[Sariteiya]

Shepard didn't even let a little thing like being a pile of dead meat stop her from saving the galaxy. Reapers? Psssh.

But honestly, it does seem intimidating. I'm curious how Bioware will set up the narrative to balance the level of threat we expect from the Reapers, with the ability to take them all down.

they created that gun based off sovereigns main gun, the Thanix i think it was called?
anyway, it destroyed that collector ship in 2 shots, so if that weaponry is mass-produced, between entire fleets, it adds an element of hope...but there must be other ways to kill a reaper too! So have Faith, and lets kick some Reaper ASS!!!!!
