VentureBeat claims we're going to get a MET Remaster "Legendary Edition"

That doesn't really make sense, though. The Prothean war, presumably, cost the Reapers greatly. The Protheans could have defeated the Reapers, even without the Crucible, if Javik is to be believed. We don't know how many casualties the Reapers have had over the many cycles, how important those losses were, i.e. what preserved species were lost and why wouldn't the Reapers advance their tech in the meantime, to further overwhelm the organics? Unless the Reapers don't care about their self preservation, or the organic goos they've preserved. At which point ... what are the Reapers even about?

That depends. If each preserved race, per cycle, is preserved for a reason and stored within a Reaper, as we've seen with ME2, then each Reaper should be precious. If the preserved races are not important, then the culling and preservation processes of the cycles is redundant and therefor pointless. Unless the Reapers that go to war are made from lesser races, with no importance to the Reapers' preservation scheme and are just soldiers/fodder. But that's never been established, nor are we given reason to believe so.

Yeah. I'm not getting any answers, then.

How convenient for you that suddenly your insider isn't there as the games get closer to having info revealed, thus can't be proven to be nonsense.

If you mean having the prothean scientists having the power to alter a signal, then yes, it cost the reapers greatly. If you mean reaper casualties, what source do you have about how many reapers casualties there were during that cycle?

What did Javik say that makes you believe they could have defeated the reapers without the crucible? Is it because he said everyone fought the same or whatever? The protheans were doomed the moment the reapers took the Citadel. If they had the use of the relay's like in this cycle, then yes, they most likely would have used the crucible to destroy the reapers. No matter what, with the numbers the reapers supposedly have, they will always win. But because the plot demands they be stupid during this cycle, the galaxy has the opportunity to destroy them.

According to a Bioware employee, roughly one capital ship is lost every few cycles while a few destroyers are lost every cycle. For me, few means 3. You can believe that or not.

The moment a reaper is destroyed, the thing's solution failed. It preserves organic in reaper form yet puts them harms why.

I am only going by what Javik says. I have no numbers. If Javik claims that the Protheans came close to winning, I would assume they did some significant damage to the Reapers. At least more than 1, which should already be a significant loss to their overall plan, as it has been presented.


Regardless of actual ability to defeat the Reapers or not, the Protheans, as well as the races of our cycle, have deal some losses to the Reapers. If the preservation of races, per cycle, is to hold any water, then every race preserved is equally precious and each loss is equally devastating. If the loss of one preserved race, as it is stored within a Reaper, is irrelevant, then no race preserved is of any significance, which begs the question why have the harvest in the first place?


That's not necessarily how it is depicted in the games. I'm not saying it isn't true, but if it is, Bioware does a very poor job of conveying it. Which shouldn't surprise me at this point. But I don't have to like it.



Can you elaborate?

Wonder if you could store some OJ in them if that's the case?😁🤔

Well they made for a cool idea fo ran enemy.

I liked it. I thought it was precisely the type of interpretation an AI would give to the command of "preserving a species".

Confirmed: box of screams in the Black Emporium is leftover reaper tech in post-refuse. 

Keep in mind that when consider relationship to Eldritch Abominations like the Reapers. Weird to Bizarre to Creepy to Asspull events relating to them due to that nature of Eldritch Abomination is very bizarre. If you can truly understand an Eldritch Abomination, Either you are insane, you don't truly understand it, or it is poorly written.



In short, Reapers are Eldritch Abominations and irrational and the bizarre logic is the normal.
