Very, very off-topic, but that quote reminds me of the magic of the first Mass Effect. I was quite disappointed that they went on to remove any and all mystery about the Reapers. The element of Lovecraftian horror was destroyed when no mystery was left, and all their claims about their nature turned out to just be fabricated.
I think I was only disappointed that they dropped the ME2 thread about some weird things happening with stars. Some Lovecraftian horror obviously had to go as the nature of Reapers was explored (the big part of the fear effect is what you don't know), but the end result wasn't bad - the story turned into surprisingly deep treatment on transhumanism and artificial intelligence safety.
