As a side note, from the beginning the problem seemed to be that the enemy Bioware set up for Shepard and companions was too powerful a foe to be dealt with in any way but a deus ex. And that's what they delivered. I was hopeful after Vigil's encouragement, and the fact that the prothean-Ilos team combined with Shepard's and allies' actions set the Reapers back, but... alas.
