If Palaven has a weak magnetic field, then it has a weak magnetosphere, which means it should also have brighter, more colorful auroras visible over a wider disc. So imagine this happening every night over Cipritine: curtains of red, blue and green light marching across the sky, colors so different from the natural, unrelenting silver of the wildlife and the trees. Sometimes they’re bright enough to cast shadows on the ground; sometimes they’re faint enough to let the stars shine through; and sometimes the sky just pulses with light as if breathing. With sights like these, it’s not hard to see how turians came to believe in spirits.

did no one ever really look at saren. Like actually look at him. They acted like he looked normal. A normal turian. “The weird tubes in his face and glowing robot eyes are nothing to suggest that he might have allied himself with a race of giant robot overlords, thats ridiculous shepard why did we even make you a spectre.”

this is one of the funniest things in the game. apparently they had a “normal” skin for saren they were going to use for all these scenes, but they either screwed it up or ran out of time and applied the endgame skin right from the start. so we get robo-saren from day one and a weird moment late in the game where we’re meant to be like WHAT HAVE YOU DONE SAREN only he looks just as ridiculous as he did through the entire game. amazing.
