I finished the game yesterday and this has been bugging me more than the ending, which opened up far to many questions anyway.
Throughout the second game, we eventually find out that the reapers are built to look like the race that they're harvested from. However they look the same in almost every encounter. Now while I do realise they wrote in that the reapers standardise the destroyers to cover their backs, that doesn't make sense that during the giant space battles they all looked like giant... cuttlefish or whatever.
Is their a logical explanation for this? Or did organic life decide that being a tentacled fish was the best way to go a couple hundred cycles in a row?
(Also, I apologise if this has come up, but i've been searching through the quite frankly amazing amount of threads and I didn't see this question)
