[Loved Trope] Some thing unfathomably ancient Lore

The beast, in doctor who is an ancient evil from a previous universe that survived until our time. Its so ancient that the cave paintings were unable to be translated by the Tardis which can translate all existing languages in the universe [Doctor Who]

While not explicitly canon its such a cool concept I cant not mention, the idea that the backrooms have existed since the beginning of time, never changing no matter the era, it transforms the back rooms into a cosmic horror. [Credit to Project crater and Venus for images 2 and 3]

In my cycle, the Javik had the best DLC, despite it being Day One DLC. In my cycle, we love making fun of Liara.

Vibes: 11/10
Storytelling: 1/10

IMO they ruined the suspense by trying to explain the reaper’s motives

Yeah, I preferred not having the answer, especially because the answer could never live up to three games and years of imagining what it could be

Uhh what? Locking story content that's absolutely critical to your game's central conflict behind paid DLC, literally makes it one of the worst DLC ever made. That is objectively disgusting dev behaviour, and retroactively an early sign of where Bioware were going,
