Pretty much just because they consider Shepard awesome. He's been a bit of a silly ego-stroke protagonist from the get go. It doesn't matter that he wasn't working alone, it was all him.

 

I hope Mass Effect 3 will let me finally start gunning down Cerberus Operatives while yelling "FOR KOHAKU!"

 

It's KAHOKU you blasphemer!

That proto-terminator really bugged me. In ME1 Sovereign is all "We're the pinnacle of evolution. We're beyond your comprehension." Then it turns out, "Oh about that we're a greater realm of existence stuff. Turns out it's just part of the reproductive system. Oh don't worry. I don't expect you to understand reproduction." That whole sequence was a big demystification of the Reapers and, frankly, sometimes mysteries are better than answers.

Not to mention it just sucked and was ridicilous.

At least it was more fun than evil Kermit from ME1. You could just blow it with the Cain, and go home.

It's not the same kind of reproduction, though. If it were, there would be Reaper porn online by now. You don't see women killing people, turning them into a milkshake and drinking it so they can pop a kid out. But it isn't beyond humanities comprehension. Sovereign just thought we were stupid. He's got a point, though.

Poisonous spiders are the key to killing the Reapers?

 

I knew it!

Worth it.

I don't see how giving the Reapers an erection is going to stop them from killing us all.

They won't kill us all. At worst they'll be at the cusp of victory, then proceed to transfer themselves into toasters or various other household appliances for absolutely no reason at all. At which point they can be killed with handguns.

Edited March 24, 201114 yr by Tale

Depends. I've tried killing toasters before with handguns. They're tough mother****ers.

As long as they don't make some sort of Anti-Shepard.

A battleship armed with an anti-infantry gun. It's crazy enough to work.

 

The Reaper Anti-Shepard would be the one dreadnought among them that isn't a moron.

Shepard getting assimilated better be one possible ending.

 

In fact, I regret wiping out the Council as a Renegade. What can be more satisfying than showing up at the Citadel with a Reaper horde and shove it in the face of that Turian councilor?

It's the Geth attacking! Obviously they've built more of their gigantic warships. Good thing nobody let their guard down and dismissed them as a credible threat.

Gotta love Plot Required Stupidity.

Is it possible/viable to play the Kasumi DLC after having already finished the main quest + Shadow Broker? I'm interested in this DLC but don't feel like playing the entire game again.

Eh, you don't need to play the whole game again to enjoy the DLC. I'd say drop Kasumi, it was too short, but Shadowbroker was great.

Sure, why not? Just beware that it is very short. I only bought the Kasumi DLC when they had a sale for it late last year.

It also has the single most overpowered gun in the game. You also get a new outfit for either your female or male Sheperd (to use on the Normandy).

Yes, but the main "give" is a new teammate and a new SMG, neither of which will net you much joy post-completion. The mission itself is fine, albeit very short (pretty much standard loyalty mission length, imo, so ymmv), and the major part of its innovations were rolled into later DLC (really just a charitable way for saying flashbang using enemies).

And Kasumi is quite powerful too with her teleporting backstabbing. :D

She kept dying on me, maybe because I'm not very good at the game?

That sounds like the teleporting rogue in the DA2 demo.
