if you dont like cover shooters just play vanguard class and it becomes a beat-em up
except for ME1. ME1 kind of stays a cover shooter

not if you have barrier + immunity on Soldier or Vanguard

The AI that came up with the solution doesn't care about whether an individual creation of AI will kill its organic creators. It only cares that the creation of AI will inevitably lead to the destruction of the organic creators.
>problem solved because AI are not like organics and don't have natural desires or emotions so they can't be trusted to have true intelligence.
Multiple species that were the servants of the Leviathans were wiped out by their AI creations, which is why the Leviathans created the Intelligence in the first place.
The harvest wasn't finished. The reapers needed to kill the quarians anyway, so it's better tactically to let them kill each other while they concentrate on other species; then they can come in and kill the survivors.

This is the shittest answer I've ever seen to a huge logic hole in the shitshow that is the explanation of the Reapers. Truly, I thought Biodrones were dead and extinct but here you are, the last of your kind.

the Geth are still just an approximation of intelligence, they're pretty much a bunch of VIs that pool together their intelligence to form something that closely resembles consciousness. just because AI exists doesn't mean it will kill off its creators, that's based on circumstance entirely. the Reapers' solution is stupid.
In fact, the Reapers meddling in people's lives has completely fucked technological advancement in ME. people can get to space and the Citadel without fully understanding the technology they discover on distant planets. they are basically hindering scientific development indefinitely by putting life inside of a box.
even in the hypothetical event that AI ALWAYS kills its creators, why work so hard to stop the inevitable? it's insanity, the Reapers are insane.

What's the scale of the setting? It keeps confusing me. Shouldn't there be trillions of citizens in the citadel? How the hell is humanity relevant at all with 20 billion at most?

>a civilization capable of FTL is likely, or soon will be, capable of creating AI that will eventually wipe it, and other organic life, out
>that civilization with FTL will probably run into one of the relays, which leads to the Citadel
>once the civilization gets to the Citadel, the Reapers come and wipe them out
I don't see what's so confusing about this. And just to reiterate
>the Intelligence/Catalyst doesn't care if already-created AI will wipe organic life out
>the only thing that matters is they have the capability to do so
Nicholas Adams
who cares if they are capable? the Reapers solution is clearly flawed as evidenced by the Geth and the peace you can broker between them and the Quarians. AI is not destined to always kill its creators, that's dumb.

tons of the galaxy is unexplored ando/or has lots of primitive life that have not even had an industrial revolution or achieved the ability to begin space travel, examples are Yahg, Krogan, and Drell. The Krogan and Drell obviously were uplifted for different reasons by the Salarians and Hanar respectively.
the population hasn't exploded because the Reapers keep killing everyone
