The Adeptus Mechanicus was here, Soverign is a pussy.

You know, the Reapers are a good parallel to the Great Old Ones.

I must be one dense motherfucker to only notice now that these bastards are incomprehensible elder gods from beyond the stars. FUCK!

>>8127481
That picture reminds me of Homeworld.

FUCK now I can't get the image of Somtaaw squaring off against Sovereign out of my head!

>>8127538
Cthulhu is Sovereign (or was, anyway)

I mean, imagine being stuck on Zhu's Hope after the Thorian had woken up and started taking slaves. But you aren't Sheperd. You're just a regular guy...and the Normandy isn't coming.

>>8127550
Actually, that really works. Like Cthulhu, Sovereign was the herald of the Great Old Ones.

>>8127550
If he was, then he still is. "That is not dead..."

>>8127601
Indoctrinated cultists. hmmmm

>>8127609
That's kind of proven when getting the Reaper IFF. Which was also a creepy as hell mission. "Chandana was right, but he didn't realize that even a dead god can dream. What people forget is that god is a verb. A verb for something that warps reality by it's very presence. It doesn't need to want to, or even know it's happening. It just happens.

Ia! Ia! Sovereign Fhtagn!

I like the way your mind works my friend, mind if i borrow it?

>>8127681
well...where're you switching me to?

>>8127710
I think he looks more like a tick or some kind of insectile parasite. That just makes him creepier, though.

>>8127654

Yeah, Reapers are unknowable, monstrous constructs. It takes the sacrifice of a million people to grow a new one.

At least that explains why they let civilizations grow then harvest them over and over again.

>>8127721
Thought I deleted it before anyone noticed.

Original comment was "Is it just me or does Sovereign look like a Hanarr?"

>>8127736
Not just one milion. It takes literary most of the given race to create one.

>>8127660
And that's what happens after you stay Indoctrinated too long. You end up a frothing catatonic repeating that for the rest of your life.

DO IT OP

SHEPARD IS THE BOAT

Holy shit. Combine this idea with Half-Life 2 for maximum fun!

Pro-tip: Breen was Indoctrinated. The Watch is made up of human versions of the Collectors.

SO is a reaper just a collection of all the individuals minds

or

does the reaper tech make a new conscious?

>>8127850
Well, I was thinking of maybe having some Colony leader in the edge of Alliance Space be secretly Indoctrinated in the past. He is left with a special command for him to start rounding up people at a certain time (Which is NOW). It's all set to flawlessly line up with a certain shipment of Dragon's Teeth and an Indoctrination Altar to teach the "doctors" some new techniques...

You see, with the death of the Collectors, the Reapers need new slaves. They just need to make them, first.

>>8127887
While it isn't spelled out for certain in the games that I can remember, we never see either reaper have any sort of debate with itself, or show any other sign of being mroe than a single consciousness. Might be more or less like legion of course, but IMO the most likely scenario is that creating a reaper also creates anew consciousness, though it might inherit some things from the people that wen into it.

>>8127950
Oh and obviously the PCs are a group of colonists who need to try to escape and get off the planet into Alliance space, or at least get in contact with some Council forces or the Alliance so they can stop it before it's too late!

>>8127950
>>8127969

I like this. I've been thinking of running a ME campaign myself and I might crib the basic plot idea.

>>8127967
I imagine that the Reaper gets all their knowledge and experiences and stuff, but is it's own gestalt consciousness. More then the sum of it's parts and so on.

>>8127967
>You give the base to Cerberus
>They collect Shepard DNA sample
>They clone Shepard
>Create SHEPARD Reaper
>Reaper has SHEPARD mind because only SHEPARD went into it

>>8128024
A reaper with the mind of a redheaded lesbian?

>>8128024
RENEGADE Sheperd? Whole galaxy is fucked.

>>8128064
Ever see what it's like when an entire galaxy gets punched in the vagina?

Anyway, CoC in Mass Effect. Good idea or no?

>>8128091
Yes.

And if any of the party survive, Shepard comes along and kills them.

>>8128099
Or makes them part of his/her crew. The game then becomes Dark Heresy

>>8128128
You mean Rogue Trader?

When the GMPC is the trader AND the archmilitant.

>>8128166
But the players aren't Sheperd. You can't just change the power-level that quickly anyway, man. You gotta EASE into it.

>>8128230
"Your captain is trying to romance you. If you're dumb enough to go along with it, nothing is amiss, until her naked, 500lbs frame riddled with forcegrown muscle and cybernetics shatters you into a million pieces."

>>8128282
and that's just the foreplay

Dammit this thread got messed up
