I'd LOVE to play another "edge of the galaxy exploring the unknown and killing it" narrative.




This mind sound a little condescending of me and so I appologise in advance. But not guessing that doing the Reaper IFF triggers some kind of end-game sequence is probably a lack of genre savviness. Just like going through the MU relay in 1 and hunting down the Elusive Man in 3 trigger end games. Those had big red flags for me. Being shocked that those events trigger some kind of time-sensitive sequence doesn't makes sense to me.
The IFF sequence isn't nearly as telegraphed as those other examples. There may be hints, but no overt red flags the way the other games handle it.
