So, I recently completed another playthrough of Mass Effects 1-3. During that my time playing ME3 I decided to try and think of a way to beat the reapers conventionally. I couldn't think of anything, until I came across the (what I thought) obvious solution of using EMPs against them. Though that obviously wouldn't work since they'd have some defense against the most obvious way to kill them. I mean they wouldn't pin their entire survival on the chance that each civilization they harvest doesn't have EMPs, right?...Right? When I got to the ending I went for the destroy ending. As we all know the destroy ending wipes out all reapers, synthetics, technology, etc. Now, as I watched husks and reapers fall over and slump into giant paper weights. I realized something, not only were thousands of people dying when the Reapers fell on top of them, the destroy option is also just a giant EMP. Since the Reapers all died by it, that shows that they don't have any defense against EMPs. So, basically the Reapers were going on the trust system here. Their entire existence hinged on whether or not a civilization had a use for EMPs or not...Well, obviously this was an effective method since they harvested millions of civilizations without any of them using an EMP. Now, I'd like to know why nobody came up with the idea to try and use this against the Reapers. Now, even if you thought the Reapers would have a defense against it, it still seems like something worth trying. However, no EMPs are ever seen or mentioned in Mass Effect. So what I can gather is that nobody can find a use for what seems to be the most powerful weapon in the galaxy, especially since nobody can come up with a defense against it. Now, the stupidity of every sentient being in the galaxy aside, this still proves that Reapers can be beaten conventionally. The crucible, the driving force for ME3's story, was based on the fact that Reapers can't be beaten conventionally. Well, now we know they can, which makes the crucible pointless which in turn makes all of ME3's storyline pointless too. Don't get me wrong I still love ME3 (even with all it's flaws) I just thought of this and thought it was funny/interesting. I don't know, what do you guys think? Am I wrong about the whole EMP thing? Or am I just thinking too far into this and I should just leave it alone?
