That's true. I'd just want a better explanation as to why Earth is being so heavily targeted - there are bigger fish to fry, so to speak (the Citadel, turian/asari fleets, homeworlds, etc).

If it turns out to be something illogical like "Reapers hate humans now" or "Humans have special Prothean DNA", it'd sorta ruin the galaxy-spanning feel that I got from Mass Effect. Humans are portrayed as one fairly mundane species in an existing enormous and complex galaxy - suddenly we're the centre to the whole Reaper invasion?
