I'm not arguing that cut and dry the Reapers would have been easily defeated, I'm just saying it's kind of a stretch to think that Hackett would see the choice between some Prothean thing (and nobody knows what the fuck it does) and outfitting a ton of ships with really fucking great weaponry, he's kind of an idiot for choosing the former, from an in-universe point of view. The Reapers CAN be defeated in conventional warfare, because they have been before. The Protheans were able to hold them off for a long long time, and the current cycle actually had working Reaper Tech and knew it was coming and prepared a little bit, at least to the point where they developed Reaper Tech weapons and had experience fighting a Reaper.
It's weirdly inconsistent how people are unwilling to believe that the Reapers even exist, and then when they show up, suddenly start dumping a ton of effort into a mysterious maybe-weapon. I mean holy shit the Crucible wasn't even finished, it was just pure luck that Shepard managed to fire it off and make it kill/get rid of the Reapers. If he hadn't been at the right place at the right time, everyone would have died and the galaxy would have been fucked.

As for the screenshot deal, I play on 360, but I'll see what I can do about getting you a picture of what 100% readiness says.

Your Shep looks familiar.
I think there's an actor who looks like him.
[QUOTE=Jackald;35452257]Well I was gonna do the ding dong shepard stream in about 4.5 hours' time, but nobody seemed to give a fuck about that trailer I posted so I might postpone streaming to another few months down the road when people aren't quite so bored by all this streaming stuff.[/QUOTE]
Stream sometime later today pl0x, otherwise I can't watch :C
I hated how playing ME3, it would stutter looking around.. a bit like ME2 did..
[QUOTE=Jackald;35452432]I like how Casey Hudson and Mac Walters, the two who arguably fucked the ending up the most, won't be there.[/QUOTE]
Well, obviously. They denied responsibility to the shit ending (or even that the ending is shit) on every occasion.
How long till Bioware ME panel?
I'm horrible at US Time Zones.
[QUOTE=Torpov;35451106]And maybe the Reapers clean up shop pretty well[/QUOTE]
Actually, they're pretty terrible. They left multiple Prothean megacities standing. They left Ilos. Yeah, the records of Ilos were gone, but it was still a planet in a heavily populated system and had a massive city on the planet itself.
[QUOTE=Irespawnoften;35451476]which we never used because we were too busy charging the reapers stupidly.
I would have assumed that the best way to counter them would be from range, you know, as far way from them as possible, not right in their face.[/QUOTE]
Reapers have superior range, they just apparently don't make use of it in the cinematics because ~spess battles must look awesome~.
And the no Thanix cannons thing was really fucking stupid, most Alliance and Hierarchy vessels were supposed to be fitted with them at this point.

Ilos was lost though, beyond the deactived and out of place Mu Relay. The reapers did disable the other relays though, but I guess it was very top secret and out of the way to the extremes.
They left Feros, a Coruscant type planet for everyone to see
Ilos would be a cool planet to explore. Just for the sake of exploring.

Wow...
I'll get hate for this but I would like to see a Mass Effect MMO on the condition of [B]exploring[/B]. The only thing I guarantee putting me off is monthly fees..
[QUOTE=usaokay;35452893]Alright, I'll have fun times with Liara. She's the only person I can actually do in all three games anyways.[/QUOTE]
No proper scene in ME2 though.

MMOs kill universes with interesting story
[QUOTE=Zezibesh;35452917]MMOs kill universes with interesting story[/QUOTE]
Proof:just look at Warcraft
[QUOTE=Zezibesh;35452917]MMOs kill universes with interesting story[/QUOTE]
Warcraft III & Expansion - great story - loved it.
WoW & Expansions - Played at launch for a week - Bored and left - Watched each new expansion pack shit on the story.
If I was Bioware I'd just make an add on for the game for free called "The Explorer's Pack" :v: allowing people to just roam current worlds and new ones, maybe with a MP feature to go as a group.
