It seems to me that the Reapers turn into a background threat in MA:3. I find myself fighting Cerberus a HECK of a lot more than the Reapers. In some ways, it makes sense since Reapers themselves are a bit more than one man (or woman) can handle alone; Cerberus (via the Reapers), is simply MA:3's Geth/Collectors (or Blue Suns if you really want to be mean). The lack of an end boss did not bother me: we all knew that Saren was going to get up one more time for a fight, and the Human/Reaper Larvae was just...stupid. I knew from the beginning that Shepard was not going to be leading a charge against the Reapers leapfrogging from world to world, although I knew that a super-weapon was a bit too typical for a game, I can't see how the Reapers could be completely driven off without one...But "god-child and space magic" was a bit much...Yeah, I've got to use that line as well, Aleks.
