    When I said I wanted to live in Mass Effect’s universe, I meant faster-than-light travel and sexy blue aliens, not the rise of the fucking geth.

      Don’t forget, though, the Geth pretty much defended themselves without even having time to understand what was happening.

      Imagine suddenly gaining both sentience and awareness, and the first thing which your creators and masters do is try to destroy you.

      To drive this home even further, even the “evil” Geth who sided with the Reapers were essentially indoctrinated themselves. In ME2, Legion basically overwrites corrupted files with stable/baseline versions.

        Not the point. I’m bringing up the geth because they also communicate data over sound.
