THE 2nd BIG BAD BADDIE BADNESS

I voted on Alec because I actually hope there will be a good plot twist about him, either in this game or maybe in another. The Ryder family's plot is very important, so I believe dad is going to be lost in some kind of search for a new source of power and we'll have to choose what to do about it

My guess? Everything and nothing, with Kett being red herring and way to show at least some sort of simplistic situation for marketing sake.

A galactic threat that isn't personified, but also many competing interests and you aren't as sure who is good or bad (and even whether the Pathfinder is really doing the good thing). Grey morality for at least a more recent Bioware game.

I don't count out the Reapers being a factor, despite developer statements. First, devs can lie. Second, Reaper is just a cosmically recent nickname for old machine entities. Just as Cerberus MIGHT be renamed and repurposed, so might Reapers.

At the very least, I think Bioware may be trying to move away from the big baddie formula as much, while still maintaining antagonist(s).

I'm not so sure we'll 'get along' with them by default and I think we won't be escaping 'daddy issues', but its possible that in outright displaying 'this is your daddy' (Alec N7) and encouraging us to expect there to be 'daddy issues', they subvert expectations by having an absence of them when we expect to see them, and having a more complicated relationship than we assume.
