  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ส.ค. 2024
  • The Leviathan species of Mass Effect is the most enigmatic and important for both the past and future of the Milky Way galaxy. This complete breakdown of this Mass Effect species will show how the Leviathans led to the Reapers, and changed the fate of all other species for perhaps a billion years.

    Ok, hear me out on this:
    What if the cycles are really the reapers searching for the rest of the Leviathans? Think about it: they know the Leviathans need a race subjugated to build stuff for them, so allowing 50,000 years for that species to mature to the point of being useful to the Leviathans. So the Reapers come kill everyone and absorb the sum total knowledge of all the civilizations and use it to find the Leviathans.
    The Leviathans are so slippery the Reapers could never be sure they got them all, so the cycles perpetuate endlessly.

    Leviathans are probably my favorite race in the ME series. The humanoid races are interesting, but imagine the level of technology the Leviathans must have considering how long they've been around. I wouldn't put it past the Leviathans to be such masters of biotics and Element Zero technology that the Leviathans probably don't need ships to travel through space. I wish we got to know more of them as a culture beyond the eldritch masters of the galaxy.

    You really have to appreciate the way the Leviathans and Reapers word things. There is something eloquent and poetic about it. But the specific word usage (and definitely the tone of their speech) is just so abnormal. With the god-complex level of apathy on top of it all...:shivers:...goodness these things are terrifying antagonists.
    Also, it was an incredibly well-done cosmic horror vibe. Especially for me, at least, when you do the DLC mission where you meet living Leviathans. Epic.

He's given me the strength I need, the hope, the trust, love. He made me become a strong woman, brave like him. And I'm sure as hell won't disappoint him. I will always fight for him, always next to him. I respect every decision, every sacrifice he makes. Even I understand his confidence, his willing to get in the frontline, to fight for a batter Galaxy without Reapers.
