Javik hints at the real threat in ME5 | Mass Effect LE3 (mods)

#masseffectlegendaryedition #masseffect3legendaryedition #masseffectplaythrough #masseffect #playthrough #femshep #geth #masseffect5 #javik
Alot of speculation lately on who the next enemy will be in ME5. I have alot of evidence ...a hunch really, gained from years of playing the game, years of paying attention to dialogue wheels and cutscenes, little things. I am almost certain the next big bad will be the Geth. Much like how Sauron is to Morgoth, we will fight the shadow of the Reapers through the Geth. Less in scope but in some ways much harder to deal with. This one convo with Javik really cements my theory down. Enjoy.

Javik was never wrong. Legion was willing to kill shepard in order to take Reaper technology for himself. He lied to you about his position against the Reapers. (Or rather the writers crapped the bed with his consistency) EDI is the only exception, and thats only because she has never experienced rejection or serious loss. From day 1 she has been protected. Shes a ticking time bomb.

I agreed on writer fault. Other yt point it out that me2 and me3 are not the same writers and they don’t understand legions plot so they turn him 180 on reaper code decisions.

[@PeoplecallmeLucifer]

I wouldn't say she's a ticking time bomb any more than anyone else on the Normandy. She gained sentience during a military exercise and you were tasked with destroying her in ME1 THEN she was recovered and repurposed by Cerberus who put shackles on her (Can compare her with Toombs there) then she was freed from Cerberus restrictions and could have easily just flown off to the reapers but decided to stick with the crew since Joker was the one who freed her. between ME 2 and 3 she had to hide her true AI status to survive the retrofits and in ME3 she saw what the reapers are doing. She might lack experience and perspective but she ain't all that protected

People seem to have forgotten the basics of Mass Effect. Alot of speculation has been muddied by ME:A or people who have never really played the games or people who are in love with the Geth and think that they can do no harm with "reaper code" inside of themselves. Legion himself tells you that the Geth are not to be trusted.

[@Immortal-gp6zh]

i mean kind of i guess, but the only reason legion turns on you if you refuse to allow him to fuse with the reapers is cause itll doom the geth to die. also knowing this, the geth are now fused with the reaper tech which will die if you destroy the catalyst or become more understanding if you sync or control the catalyst. oh and devs never said 4 or 5 they just stated thats what people call it and dont have a definitive name yet, but either way its the 5th game but the follow up to sheps story (4th)

[@JezaGaia]

It's possible of course but in my opinion it should be Leviathan. Now that we got rid of the reapers for them they will want to take back their place at the top of the galaxy with all other races as subservient to them.

[@MVzerozero5]

Only a handful of Leviathans exist. How are they supposed to take control of anything? :D Also the Levis in ME3 seemed like they wanted to be left alone. Will the Geth be the next enemy? Maybe. Id say they are in the top 3 choices. I doubt you read the video description or have payed too much attention to my other comments. But we will still be fighting the Reapers, just through the Geth. Which have become so dangerous that they can infiltrate anyone and anything. Imagine having to fight Geth controlled and augmented N7 agents who when pushed to the brink explode in a very Resident Evil 4 sort of way with some horrible techno flesh horror popping out to get you. ....Mass Effect at its roots is a horror game and this quality should not be ignored.

[@JezaGaia]

@@MVzerozero5Leviathan TOLD us that they were very few left, how many there are we don't know for sure. But no matter how many they are they can use the orbs that we placed everywhere on the galaxy to help fight the reapers to mind control us like those poor miners and scientists we saw. They possess tech or powers that can create those electric shockwaves and disable any vehicle or ship. And we don't know exactly how so we don't have any idea how to counteract. They wanted to remain undiscovered not to attract the attention of the reapers, the only beings able to destroy their entire race that's all. If the reapers are really gone they don't need to hide anymore. They consider all of us other races like very inferior and beneath them, only good to serve and worship them. They wanted to keep Shepard to serve them remember. Also we are told that the reapers built the relays and the citadel but I wonder ... before they built the AI to stop synthetics from killing the organic races they lorded over, they had managed to conquer a good portion of the galaxy. How did they travel or how did they have their mind controlled minions travel from one system to the other? The AI they created was installed in the Citadel, is it the reapers who built it and then moved the AI there or is the the Leviathan who built the citadel for the AI to control ? It's very possible that the Reapers lied and it was Leviathan who built all that. Otherwise they at least had some way to travel from system to system in the galaxy that no other race was ever able to harness. They are way scarier than you seem to believe. As I said I was your video and you might be right I'm not discounting it but when we left the game Geth and reapers were a non issue. Leviathan is a big unknown on their motives and with a very egomaniac mindset.

[@JezaGaia]

@@MVzerozero5 Only a few Leviathan remained after the reapers harvested them, they've rebuilt since then and we have no idea how many they are. Even if their numbers are small, and it's probable, to keep hidden they need to have a small footprint after all, they can mind control basically any race in the galaxy, remember the mining station where we found the first clue ? They use the orbs to mind control people who can be in a completely different star system than them.And what did we do ? We dispersed a large amount of these orbs so Leviathan would help us fight the reapers through those. But now those orbs are all over the galaxy. Leviathan wanted to stay hidden as long as the reaper threat was ongoing but now that they're defeated one way or the other Leviathan are free to try and go back to their previous glory and lord it over the whole galaxy. They are very similar to the reapers in the way they perceive other races, we are just there to serve and worship them like we were only material for the reapers to use as building material or puppets. Also even without their minions they have to be a force to be reckon with, they can incapacitate any of our ships or vehicles as they did with the electromagnetic shockwave, and we don't even know if this is done using some tech or if it's a power they have like some sort of biotic ability. They managed to control many races all over the galaxy so they had a way to travel or have their minions travel at FTL before the reapers built the relays ... IF the reapers really built them and not leviathan themselves... The reapers were good at deceit so who knows. In any case they have tech/powers beyond ours, beyond the reapers and we know basically nothing about them or their abilities and tech. They seem to be an aquatic race and that would be a weakness of theirs but are we even sure of this ? Could they be amphibian ? We don't know. And even if they are really stuck underwater it also makes it very hard for us to reach them to fight them. All this unknown not only gives much more creative freedom but also adds to the fear aspect of the enemy. Remember in ME1 how terrifying the reapers were ? It was partially due to the fact that they were completely out of our comprehension. Once we started to understand them better they became much less horrifying. Powerful, sure but just giant robots with lasers, the mystery was gone. Geth are completely known entity it removes a lot from the fear they could bring no matter what powers or tech they could develop.

[@aga1nsty0u]

if destroy ending is cannon then i rly dont see geth or any other synt. to be next villain, maybe something from ME:A or something woke up after the red blast?

[@MVzerozero5]

Possibly something was woken up from red blast. Who knows. The Geth are obviously part of the next story ...atleast from the concept art ive seen. Standing right next to an Angara. So atleast some of them survived. Possibly hitched a ride on the arks headed to Andromeda. Or had already sent their own around the same time of the Reaper invasion.

[@Cailus3542]

​@@MVzerozero5 Hopefully it's more original than that. My personal hope is that the Reapers had another objective: defending the Milky Way and other galaxies from another threat. Eldritch horror stuff.

[@MVzerozero5]

@@Cailus3542 Which is heavily implied by the VI at the Temple of Athame. That a greater threat than the Reapers exists. I wouldnt be suprised if we get another trilogy where the big big bad isnt revealed until the end of the first game(for hype reasons of course). Maybe the Geth are even the target of this new threat in the first game. We do see Geth that seem to be normal non-combatants in some of the promo art(namely the Geth shaped crater one). Little Geth strewn about the crater if you look close, ect. Others have done vids on this. The Geth are obviously going to be part of the story moving on, if the art is any indication. Alot of people hate on ME:A but I believe that it is the "elbow" of the Mass Effect story. We already have the upper part of the arm and shoulder. Now we need the pieces below the elbow.

[@findiwindles]

Before seeing this, I thought the 'Merge' option, at the end of ME3, seemed the best choice for long-term harmony throughout the galaxy. Now I'm not so sure.

[@MVzerozero5]

The best option seems to be control. But only with the modded endings. Basically control is true harmony and a real future throughout the entire galaxy for ever. That being said I have not tried destroy or synthesis modded. I am currently undergoing my final mod list changes and still havnt gotten to do either. But soon.

[@asmrreviews8979]

It is still the best choice. The "Destroy" solution only delays the inevitable organic-synth war. Someone else will create AI in the future. The Reapers represent Destroy. The "Control" option has no safeguards against you becoming the next AI overlord. In fact, I think that's the Renegade-Control ending. Cerberus represents control. "Synthesis" removes any future fighting from the equation because there is no line between organic and synthetic anymore. Shepard is literally a living example of Synthesis thanks to the Lazarus project.

[@MVzerozero5]

@@asmrreviews8979 Control with mods was interesting. Basically every inhabited world became unique as AI-Shep restored life more or less from every extinction and released all the info and resources collected over the entire time. Instead of an overlord she was a peacekeeper. (Paragade btw)

[@MVzerozero5]

I would like to just chill with Liara. See about Shep and them blue children. But I heavily doubt the next game will be a slice of life. Mass Effect at its roots is a space-horror-drama. ME:A moved away from the horror part of the equation, and I think the Geth make for great horror. Especially if they were out of control like what Javik mentions.

[@redrhinoz2119]

The AI of Javik's cycle that originated from implants in organics could be a great choice. They have an excuse to show some type of emotions because of organic traces and at the same time be very cold because they are machines. That said, it would be cool if they throw a major third player into the conflict

[@MVzerozero5]

In the next game if the Geth are the enemy. We will fight any Geth who have reaper code. The reaper-geth will, instead of using force, use subversion against the galaxy through powerful agents held in a weak sort of indoctrination or control/manipulation. Liara will be an outlaw. Liara is fighting tooth and nail to bring Shepard back to finally get closure and also help protect Andromeda mission which the reaper-geth are targeting. The reaper-geth in this game will be like fighting "The Thing". You have no idea who is a reaper-geth until its too late and it explodes into some horrific monster. This setup for the next entry has ALOT of potential. Atleast I think it does.

Shame the unmodded state of the Mass Effect games is so limited with character creation. As sexy as us ladies can look.... we all look the same. Hell, all Bioware games are like that. At least the women look like women instead of men as the ladies in Halo Infinite do. The Weapon and Cortana fortunately are permitted to have womenly figures, at least. Unfortunately, the multiplayer mode isn't as lucky. May as well be playing a Stormtrooper simulator with how much the men and women look exactly alike(not counting armor customization).
