It is incredible how the mass effect trilogy created that feeling of cosmic horror if the almost omnipotent reapers were not enough their creators and their way to see the other races are scary enough to compare them with Lovecraftnian deities.

[@compmanio36]

They did a great job of blowing your mind with the protheans, the reveal with the collectors and then this....the truth about the reapers and their creators. The scale of the battle you're waging isn't just this cycle and this galaxy....but countless cycles and galaxies full of life that came before, all watching you struggle from the POV of the reapers themselves. And you're one man/woman against all that. And still somehow win, despite all odds. The very nature of a video game makes that scale hard to show and comprehend as the player, but the Mass Effect trilogy does a better job than pretty much anybody else at it.

[@thatjrpganimefanplayerjusi8003]

Yup TO TRUE then sci fi subnatica 🌊 came out and HOLY SHIIIiIIiI LEVIATHAN!!!! LOL

[@pageachatter229]

All of these factors work together beautifully. First off, the planet that we find Leviathan on is named after the Greek goddess of the arcane mysteries, who's true name was only known to those initiated into her cult. The music gives the sense that we're approaching something mysterious and crazy ancient, and also rather scary. We're searching for this thing at the bottom of an incredibly deep ocean, something which in and of itself has always inspired feelings of wonder, awe, and fear. And the Leviathan itself is a creature unfathomable age, displaying powers the likes of which we can barely grasp if at all. All of these combine beautifully to create an incredible, rather Lovecraftian moment of gameplay.

[@elkelt]

There was only one thing, that broke for me impression on the leviathan:when it speaks to Shepard, it uses the image of scientists from this dlc instead of using images of Shepards friends and enemies. Just imagine, how great it would be to see Saren, when Leviathan talks about the betrayal of AI or Javik when it talks about harvest of every species. THAT IMHO WOULD BE THE MOST BREATHE-TAKEN MOMENT OF THE GAME, even better than whispering of your friends in nightmares.

[@domolinixd1000]

There is a mod (Project Variety) which overhauls the whole game and one of the features is exactly the thing you're talking about. Instead of those scientists, there was Illusive Man, Saren and Anderson for me.

It was a memorable moment in the trilogy to be sure, but I don't think the Leviathans you meet are supposed to be millions of years old. He refers to the current generation of his species as the descendants of the empire builders.

[@crypto1223]

Lycaon Pictus Ok, maybe they weren’t but the idea of speaking to a species thought to be extinct to the point of not being found anywhere in history has got to be up there with talking to an actual millennia old intelligent being. You actually do this in Mass Effect 2 when you spoke to Harbinger.

I think it's highly likely. Truth is we already have sapient sea based life here: whales and dolphins. We just don't know how to talk to them yet.

[@etofok]

almost certainly not because you need grabbing/throwing limbs and cyclical problems to develop prefrontal cortex for abstract thinking for the concepts like of work, future or sacrifice a big apex predator in the waterworld dead ends at the whale/shark

[@toko96]

@@etofok **On earth** As far as we know. The Cephalopod family, for example, has some incredible intelligence, ability and the physiology to evolve into something even more incredible. There's no reason animals on other worlds can't evolve into different forms to what we've found on earth/haven't discovered yet, that defy what we already know or expect to find elsewhere in the universe. The possibilities are quite limitless.

[@etofok]

​@@toko96 the reason to evolve is always sexual pressure. but the reason to evolve intelligence is to be better prepared for the future events as mediated by sexual selection. That's partially why we evolved prefrontal cortex and that's why colder regions generally have smarter people because people needed to prepare for the winter so their offspring don't die from the lack of pre-stored food or pre-built proper shelter. Discovery of the future is one of the most important events in the human history as it allowed us to see threats on the abstract level i.e. winter is coming if you are a cephalopod there's no reason to evolve intelligence because food and 'sex' is always available to you and therefore the difference between a 'comfy now' and a 'dangerous season then' does not exist. Migration doesn't count because it's merely specie-wide adaptation to avoid the hostile environment rather than personal individual agency over environment to withstand it

On such planets the oceans could likely be hundreds of kilometers deep, the bottom layers being some exotic form of ice that exists only under extreme pressure. Kind of an intermediary stage between a solid planet and a gas giant. Maybe some large underwater volcanoes could keep several areas of the sea floor open to life.
