>>101112318to be honest about it, Mass Effect sort of felt like they didn't feel like designing a new plot so they just sort of tore out the "big" plot of Dragon Age: Origins and substituted sci-fi shit in.
Darkspawn? Geth.
Archdemon? Reaper.
Loghain? Saren, except not as cool.
Why were the Citadel Council portrayed as ignorant morons for not believing when some random fucking human comes up laying some completely fucking crazy bullshit about GALACTIC DESTRUCTION REAPERS WE MUST FIND THE CONDUIT SAREN IS EVIL when Shepard actually says that the Council will think he's crazy after he wakes up from beacon-coma. Oh, yeah, because HUMANITY! FUCK YEAH! can't be wrong. I agreed with the salarian and the turian councilors when they were all like, "wtf Reapers come and wipe out all life every 50,000 years? lay off the dope, Shepard"
Frankly, the Reaper reveal would've been better if Shepard just kept his mouth shut about DEATH OF THE GALAXY and Sovereign is the actual proof that they exist and they aren't the delusions of a space murine with a scrambled brain and Saren trolling them by pretending that wild shit was real.
Shit, son, maybe the Protheans just went extinct on a galactic scale because they cloned themselves and their clones degraded until they were unable to do it anymore. You know, rip off Stargate and the Asgard.
