We know from the first game, That the reapers are pretty much blind to any groups that don’t rely on reaper tech. Like for instance the thorian. It lived in the time of the protheans and was virtually ignored by the reapers despite being hyper-intelligent. And Ilos survived because they were stricken from all records across the prothean empire. It seems All you need to do is step outside the reaper’s projected path and you are safe.

One thing that I noticed about the Ark idea. It was a 600 year trip. In a very short amount of time, the Reapers would fall and their technology would be in the hands of galactic society. With advanced tech like that, it is entirely possible that vastly superior levels of technology in the fields of travel and AI would be achievable and that people could beat all of the Arks to the andromeda galaxy and solve a lot of the problems they have before they even arrive.
@OniFeez3 жыл бұрын
I actually kinda wanted that development to be in the actual game. Could you imagine the storyline if they left full of wonder and excitement about the possibility of being pioneers and they arrive to only find life basically identical to the one they left behind? Or adjusting to a 'council' - angara warfare vs something like the angara-kett war would be kinda interesting, especially since you'd be completely different from the other faction, and angara would learn about how diverse the council is. Would the player full back into the old 'council' ways, would the player want to be independent? The 'council' could even view the 'Pioneer's' as something like country bumpkins, the 'backwards' people or something of a technology that was, naive about intergalactic travel and trade and mannerisms.

It’s been 600 years. And beyond Liara and Castis, we don’t know anyone who really knows about the Initiative, and Castis is long dead at this point. Liara’s put 600 years on, and that’s assuming nothing happened to her in that 600 year timespan. Also, 600 years might have seen QEC be phased out.

If anything the QEC communicators would’ve been displayed as museum pieces. I believe a goal of the project was to establish a connection like that between the Milky Way and Andromeda to share data and research, even if travel wasn’t possible, but considering the canon afterwards of the ME trilogy, and that 600 years have passed, it wouldn’t even be completely unreasonable to assume that with the research of reaper technology and an increasingly advanced understanding of Mass Relays, that intergalactic travel wouldn’t be much easier.

@@Silentguy_ The Reapers don’t have means of intergalactic travel, though. They exclusively exist in the Milky Way. All they do is hibernate in dark space a few thousand light years beyond the edge of the galaxy, then utilize Mass Relays to travel across it. Given what is said about the Citadel relay, we can assume the Reapers themselves have a Mass Relay in dark space they are supposed to use to travel to the Citadel when it is activated by the keepers. Beyond that, Reaper tech wouldn’t advance intergalactic travel because they utilize the same things to travel across the galaxy as the species they’re harvesting. You might make advances in sublight and FTL technology, which MIGHT lead to an advance in intergalactic travel, but realistically all that would do is cut down on the travel time to Andromeda from 634 years by marginal amounts.

I won't claim to know what the devs were thinking, but I hypothesize that this was going to be the set up all along for more ME-like content. Instead they rode the "New Universe" card, and it failed. As a new universe, it was 'easier' to ride the 'oooohs' and 'ahhhhs' of Andromeda and then shift to a different plot than to lead with a continued plot carried over across galaxies. ALTHOUGH... that Andromeda tech could be considered the origin or source material of the reapers themselves; or at least come from the same "creator/destroyer" race of beings that we never get to meet. If they could continue the Andromeda plot line from this point as the central focus and yet incorporate more familiarity with the traditional Mass Effect games, more people would have enjoyed it in MHO.

Nah see the reapers were created by the leviathan race which you find out in the leviathan dlc for ME3. The leviathan race watched organics create synthetics and it always ended in war and mutual destruction. So the leviathans created a an AI tasked with coming up with a solution to stop the destruction. The solution was for them to kill off advanced civilizations before they could make self aware synthetic life. The big reapers like Harbinger are actually the leviathan race turned into reapers, as the AI decided to take the collective knowledge of the harvested races and store them in their own unique form of reapers. The real.issue with this is they couldve gotten really creative with how the reapers looked but instead just focused on current races like asari turian and humans, when they couldve done more with past races wiped out from the reapers

The arks left before or during the events of ME2, so the entire Reaper armada was more or less shut down.

This is supported by the whole “Alpha Relay” situation, as well as the fact that in ME1 the entire Reaper armada was suppose to enter through the Citadel relay.
