"WHAT ELSE can come from the Reapers but death and horror?"



Hmm, let's see, well we have the Mass Relays, the Citadel, blueprints for advanced technology left scattered around the galaxy, giving its discoverers the opportunity to jump centuries ahead in terms of technology... sounds like a pretty good resume to me. Without the Reapers, the races of Mass Effect probably wouldn't come to the fore for an extra what, 3,000 or so years? Without the Mass Relays, galaxy-wide colonization is essentially impossible. They made the galactic community a reality.



Yeah, the Reapers are monstrous and I've no love lost for them. They are pretty much an army of mechanical Hitlers. But still, you synthesis-haters make me laugh.



"Oh no! The Reapers are gonna force a UTOPIA on us, whether we want it or not! They're gonna share the knowledge they've collected over the past billion years with all of us! Disgusting! Forcing knowledge on unwilling people, can you imagine! And they're gonna make everyone healthier and overcome their biological barriers with this synthesis bullshit! AGAINST OUR WILLS!"



Like I don't get it. If you put me behind the trigger, and ask me if I would want to "force" this on everyone in the world without consulting them, hell yeah I would.
