I agree especially with the point about the Reaper's purpose being revealed in "a few short lines of dialogue". Throughout the series, if you choose paragon dialogue whenever you encounter the Reapers (I'm thinking specifically about the Arrival DLC, but there are other examples) Shepard questions why the Reapers are doing this, and they constantly say something to the effect of "it is beyond your comprehension". If it was beyond our comprehension, then why is the starchild able to explain it in a few minutes? Is he just better at explaining things than the Reapers? Or were the Reapers too lazy to explain it to us when we asked?
