You are wrong in the sense that the Reaper VI was a big dumb mess that undermined the Reapers' motivation.

You are right in the sense that the lore was already broken and worse could not be done to it - joining Cerberus in ME2 already did that.

But the only "motivation" the Reapers had before the reveal was wiping out organic civilizations because "that's what we do." They didn't have a coherent motivation before. It was just "that's the way it is, tough luck."

"That's the way it is because of this thing that happened eons ago" explains, it doesn't undermine.

They had a totally coherent motivation before: reproduce.

Then it turned out they were galactic AI police who went about their jobs in the dumbest way possible.

[(Anonymous)]

Reproduction was part of the motivation the Starchild gave. That was part of the reason for letting the civilizations evolve, so the Reapers could take the best aspects of them into themselves.

[(Anonymous)]

Er. No? That's not the sense I got, and I played recently. They were untouchable until Shepard. They had zero reason in their computer brains to WANT to reproduce.

[(Anonymous)]

And yet, that's exactly what they were doing: making more of themselves by assimilating entire civilizations.

What bothered me the most about it was that they'd spent millions of years harvesting so many people in the most violent, terrifying, wasteful way possible, and the sum total of the entire galaxy's intellect didn't once give them idea 'wait, why not make everyone cyborgs?' until Shepard rang their doorbell.
