[quote=@pugbutter] I'm more amazed by the fact that anyone thinks ME was [i]ever[/i] good, and that [i]3[/i] or [i]Andromeda[/i] somehow defiled the series' glorious legacy or some shit. Most of what [@Fabricant451] says about the mechanics of horror is correct and all, but just because the Reapers are "unknowable" doesn't mean this was an artistic decision. Honestly BioWare's writers are so incompetent, it could just as easily be due to serendipity, not a conscious choice, that the antagonistic force of the story just happens to match up with some Lovecraftian tropes. Looking at how clumsy and awkward this passage is: ... How many times can one incompetent buffoon of a "writer" say the exact same fucking thing over and over, just in slightly different words? Well, five times per paragraph, apparently. Jesus Christ. This actually hurt to read. Never mind the fact that it's [i]Telling[/i] instead of [i]Showing[/i] us that the Reapers are "unknowable"; the prose is just fucking dreadful in so many ways. [/quote] To be fair, and it's not like it's going to change anything but still, in the game that speech is broken up after almost every sentence by the player. And a lot of the game is asking variations of the same thing instead of getting to the point. You know. For immersion or something.
