So I was watching a clip from the movie Logan where Professor X is a having a grand mal seizure in the hotel. For those who haven't watched it, or are unfamiliar with Professor X, he's a powerful psychic mutant with telepathic abilities. In the movie, when he suffers from these seizures, it basically puts everyone in a sizable area into stasis (where they can't move), but their minds are forced to endure incredible pain.
I was wondering how a mental illness such as this would impact someone with Biotics. I know existing lore in the game has already indicated that humanity has largely eradicated most known diseases; either through vaccination, cures, or genetic engineering. But I would have to think that there's maybe some rare chance that such a scenario exists (though - admittedly - Biotics are already rare in humanity). Even if such a scenario is unlikely for Humanity, there are several other species out their with Biotic potential, such as Asari, Krogan, Drell, and - to a lesser extent - Turians and Volus (though this might have been for shits and giggles). I'd have to think there's a significant danger to them having access to powerful fields with an unstable mind.

I always wondered what the description of Trikalon was all about: Why were the reapers so concerned about this experimental setup? What might have been found with it? That little detail could make for a very cool story on its own.

I want to know who Barla Von is talking to in this conversation you can overhear in ME3. What is being offloaded and where is the Motan Cluster (since it's not marked on the Galaxy Map in any of the OT games)?
"Selling them would be unwise. I'm aware of what's happening. Offload them into the Motan Cluster. And then I'd advise traveling someplace safer. I wouldn't go to the settled worlds. Larger colonies appear to be priority targets. If you're coming to the Citadel, do it soon. Certainly, look me up. Business will keep me here for some time. Don't count on the Batarians. Khar'shan is lost. The Alliance is spearheading this war. I agree it's quite impressive, but I wouldn't venture into the Sol system. Call me when you have the information. No, I'll send you a different number. This connection isn't absolutely secure."

I wish to learn more about the Protheans actually. I'd love a game focused on them. I mean we dont know much about them and after talking to Javik I want more. Other than that? Refund guy. He needs more backstory lol.

It's really nice how we got to explore that, though. Oh, wait.

Some force of nature alternative to the holocaust reaper thread. Like dark energy. Sounds exactly like the scourge to me. Yes, I'd like to see the scourge expanded upon and explained in a future game. I don't consider it to be a "minor lore or narrative" though. It's a major theme. I'd also like to see other major themes in ME:A expaned upon and exploained... the Benefactor, how the damaged and infected Quarian arc now fits into the ongoing narrative, where the Kett originate, who are the Jaardan, who attacked them, etc.

I hate it when story is cooked up, simmers a bit and next episode it isn't a thing anymore and why even bother - is just nuisance. Kinda like darkspawn in DA.

I hate it when story is cooked up, simmers a bit and next episode it isn't a thing anymore and why even bother - is just nuisance. Kinda like darkspawn in DA. I agree in principle, though I think the Darkspawn in DA are actually an exception where it worked because it kinda was set up like this from the beginning. We knew from the start that the darkspawn are only a real problem for the surface of Thedas during a blight. So it made sense that once we defeat the Arch Demon in DA:O, it was over with them until the next one. That made a lot of sense to me. To me, the darkspawn crisis has been dealt with for now and we have a pretty good idea about their nature at this point, so it didn't feel so much like an open plot point. Their mystery/issue is not completely resolved, sure, but it seemed fair enough to let them vanish into the background for a bit at that point.
But yea, it would be a shame never finding out more about the dangling ME:A plot points, that I agree on. Because they are not resolved at all and they remain relevant issues to deal with.

Sarcasm aside I could see where they could invent a plotline where some escaped to Andromeda.

in ME 1 they made a great deal of Spectre agents and expected something well, like that, so maybe the could have expanded on there, as in the end it just ended as an status and that's about it.

This would be so cool. Considering how nobody seemed to know about the Initiative in the trilogy, it's plausible the Protheans could have had their own project like that without the majority knowing about it and left. Ooh boy. Imagine being able to explore another cluster in the next MEA or maybe even within Heleus and encountering Protheans. Although I have to admit some of the mysterious and exciting aura vanished for me with the introduction of Javik. I had imagined them as something completely different in terms of their looks.

The race that mind-uploaded itself into a star-ship's computer honestly seems like one of the most interesting events in the entire ME universe, yet it is treated as an aside curiosity. Pretty sure there was a codex entry of it in ME 1.
Isn't that a form of "synthesis" or at least achieving what the Reapers did?

Interesting reading. Thanks for the link. Shame these don't somehow appear in the actual game. I assume they were part of the Cerberus Network?
