This Reaper is human-shaped, just to add insult to injury. As we learn from Mass Effect 2, part of the Reapers’ plan is to use human bio-matter to build a special Reaper that they will unleash on humanity. The Reapers follow a cycle in which they allow a species to develop and grow until they are eventually harvested by the Reapers when they come back. We learn that the Reapers destroyed the Protheans, the most advanced civilization at the time, and left behind less-advanced races like humanity. This concept is so difficult to comprehend, the Galactic Council wouldn’t acknowledge them as a threat. They walk the line between living beings and inanimate objects. They are machines, but they are also sentient beings. The Reapers are undoubtedly one of the most awesome and powerful enemies in gamer lore.
This week we examine the Reapers and begin to try to figure out their plans. At the end of the month we’ll cap things off with a week of posts on Mass Effect 3 to see how everything is resolved (or not). We’ll explore the different races, themes, and some major story arcs. This is Mass Effect March! In honor of the release of Mass Effect 3, this entire month is devoted to digging into this epic trilogy.
