User blog comment:Evil-Tree/Potential for Saren in ME3?/@comment-1786741-20120207213224

I really doubt the reapers, or anyone else for that matter would want to clone Saren for any reason.

Problem 1: Why would they JUST want to clone Saren? Sure, Saren was both an influential Spectre and integral to Sovereign's plot but since that failed he is no longer of use. The only reason Sovereign needed him in the first place because he needed a pawn on the inside. With him being both dead and largely reviled, there's not much the Reapers or Council can do with Saren, even a clone. Now that the Reapers are directly attacking the galaxy, they don't need many pawns other than Cerberus and the occasional indoctrinated.

Problem 2: Again, to much effort for the result. Even if the Reapers had his memories, why would they want to give them a body? If Saren was indoctrinated too much, he wouldn't be that effective and if he wasn't enough he would probably will rebel like he did in ME1.

Problem 3: Even if he was reverted back to his pre-indoctrinated phase or was aware of the events leading to his death, he was still highly speciest and rarely valued another person's life. Not the best ally to have, especially when you're a human.

I would much rather prefer if his role was limited to the same level as ME2, only mentioned and the occasional passing comment.

This may be a little harsh but its not flaming. I also liked Saren in ME1 but having him return would just be too problematic.
