Also they do not kill of advanced civilization, they harvest them. They add them to their own (kind of like the borg in the star trek universe). So in a sense by harvesting them and adding them to their collective the civilization is not lost forever.voltair27 said:
The second we learn about the star child the reapers are already in our universe. Destroying it would do nothing to stop the reapers from invading further. Like they have done for many many cycles.fi6eka said:
The star child only "views" what happens. It started the reaper cycle ages ago with harvesting the original civilization that created the AI/reapers. The fact that Shepards needs to make the decision by doing a certain act just tells us it can not change things by himself (I also think the star child mentioned that in the convo).
...I think you just gave me a migraine. Thanks for that.Fappy said:I recently went on there to see how EC was being received and found a huge thread of people complaining about how there should have been an option toSajuukKhar said:I think 60% is a tad unreasonable given how BSN is, I would put it up to 80%.Fappy said:True, though I think Bioware's mastered the art of interpreting bitching at this point. A certain level of bitching is perfectly within their acceptable level of positive/negative feedback. If only 60% of them complain its a win.
save Thane.
I facepalmed.
They make it abundantly clear in ME3 that while Shepard is in the Citadel at the end he cant contact anyone. Also, while the Star Child controls the plan the Reaper's use, they can still function without him. Killing him wouldn't just cause all The Reapers to stop.fi6eka said:

Most likely because the Star child doesn't have the ability to open the relay himself. I doubt a race smart enough to build a race of machines that won against all galactic civilization for over 1 billion years would be stupid enough to not factor in the probability that the Star child might go rouge.
Not allowing the Star Child to open the relay himself, in the case the SC goes rouge, makes it to where he can't send a false start on the invasion, thus prevent The Reapers from arriving before they need to, and arriving before a time when galactic civilization is enough for them to harvest to keep themselves going.
Making the Keepers, and The Reaper ships, needed to open the relay makes a system of checks and balances that makes it to where an invasion can only occur when it is needed.
Maybe, even so, he doesn't know that the star child = the citadel at that point, and the same principle can be applied for the star child's room. Also he had to open the citadel's arms, them being closed probably blocked signals.Fappy said:
And still, blowing up the Citadel, and the SC, wont stop the Reapers, and when your uber-weapon needs the citadel to work, it gives it even less reason to blow it up.
Sorry man, but I haven't ignored anything, though you've portrayed yourself as ignoring everything... Even as you comment on it.SajuukKhar said:
First, the thanix missile makes no sense, it was a plothole. They didn't even work like one. You don't make a missile that shoots a laser, you shoot the laser. Also that missile can't work like one if it isn't a mass accelerator.
They say a lot of things, but none of it happens. Those are plotholes.
And no, a superior force does not randomly decide to not use their most powerful capabilities especially as they suffer damage.
One particular plot error was done for dramatic effect but failed... And that was how it took a massive amount of basic accelerator shots from a huge fleet equipped with Thanix and more.. to take on the Rannoch Reaper.
Look at the real ss
I'm predicting the next Dragon Age will be set two thousand years in the future, and be called Dragon Age: THE SHOOTENING. It will have you playing as Hawke the 274th, descendant of the legendary hero of forgotten times before the invention of firearms. The classes available will be "GUN SHOOTER" and "..."
The story will be an epic fantasy narrative that will be entirely buried beneath billions of shell casings as you alone blast your way through trillions of Evil Darkspawn to reach the final boss, the evil Archdemon, and destroy it from orbit with a tactical nuclear missile launching satellite!
This will all take place over a four hour campaign, but don't worry, there will be unending fun in the Multiplayer section of the game, which will have TWO EXCITING MODES, Deathmatch, and Capture the Flag! Don't forget your online keys everyone! ;D

Actually the missile makes a lot of sense.Delsana said:
"The Thanix's core is a liquid alloy of iron, uranium, and tungsten suspended in an electromagnetic field powered by element zero. The molten metal, accelerated to a significant fraction of the speed of light, solidifies into a projectile as it is fired, hitting targets with enough force to pierce any known shield or armor. "
Technically, as long as you have a superheated core of those elements suspected in a element zero shield, you could package it as a missile, and thus have a Thanix missile. It wouldn't do as much damage as the beam version, because it isn't going as fast, but with a fast enough missile it could still do some considerable damage.
Secondly I dont think you know what a plothole is, saying something and then not showing it isn't a plothole. It just means they didn't show it.
Thirdly I never said anyone randomly did anything, I really wonder were you are pulling this stuff from.
Fourthly the Rannoch Reaper taking so many hits from Thanix canons, which we cant actually prove they were using Thanix canons, or that all the ships used them, really isn't a polthole either. We really only ever see the Thanix canon uses against a collector ship in Mass Effect 2, The Reapers would presumably be resistant to their own weapons. Unless you think The Reapers are so dumb as to not build their own ship/bodies to be resistant to their own weapons.

So there isn't a plothole in regards to the Thanix missle, as there is nothing preventing one form being made.
And there isn't plothole like in regards to the Rannoch Reaper taking so many hits because we cant actually prove those are Thanix canons, and it would be terribly dumb of The Reapers not be resistant to their own weapons.
I would love the game to go back to the more tactical feeling of DA:O, but with the character interaction of 2. I prefer a lot of DA:O, but I enjoyed the character interaction more in the sequel.
Protagonist needs to go back to being a bit more blank. I love the origin idea, I'd much rather that get expanded fully. I want being a human noble to have more impacts, I want to reclaim my home from Howe, rather then the story mentioning it, what happened to my brother, etc. Dump the whole continuing saves into the next game thing.
It made sense in the ME series, but not everything has to have it. You can touch on the events of other games and leave it ambiguous enough, i.e., I know what happened there, and that's good enough for me.

I absolutely loved Origins, but did not like DA2 at all. Not one bit. It was very boring and very rushed.
Now, I used to love BioWare. I played Mass Effect 1 and 2 and loved them.
But I don't care if DA3 is development gold on a DVD made out of Zeus' own flesh, if EA is publishing the game they are not getting a single penny from me.
It's a shame to have to starve one of my favorite developers to get rid of the most evil publisher around, but it's certainly worth it.
