However, I have always loved the series, and one of the main reasons is that I find the villains, the Reapers, absolutely fascinating, and far more nuanced than villains in most blockbuster games. In this video I talk through some of my thoughts about the Reapers. Basically, I don't think they're the abject, existential threat that they're sometimes chalked up as. Let me know your own thoughts! This is a great topic for discussion :-) #MassEffect #RPG #GamePhilosophy
