@Leodiensian:
Hmmm... True. Actually, the more I think about it, the more I feel like Bioware just wanted to be really-really clever and give the reapers some "depth", but they kind of got entangled within their own story while trying to give the franchise a twist-ending.
You know what I would have loved to see: If it would have turned out the the whole thing was a huuuuuuge xanatos gambit by the Catalyst, and the Crucible was, in fact made to solve the Dark Matter crisis, and the entire cyclic system was created so every 50k years the new species would add new insight and their best technologies to it until one of them succeeds building it and solves everything. How about that for a twist-ending?
@Joccaren: Either that, or give full explanations. The problem is that we got some explanation that makes little sense. Both ends of the spectrum would have been fine, but we are stuck in the middle instead... -.-'
