The Borei

Here's a point. For ultimate bad guys, we have the Nomads, the C'Tan and their Phantom slaves, Mon'Star, the Harvesters, the Liberty Navy (couldn't help myself) yada yada yada etc. Do we need an entirely new ultimate bad guy? There's so much unused potential in what we already have that its already disorienting in its amount. This, while being a gold mine, is another gold mine. Remember what happened when Mansa Musa went on his pilgrimage and gave gold to everyone? The value dropped to almost nothing. While its a neat idea and you've done a great job with it, its a bit over the top. If there are all these bad guys, how the hell is humanity still alive? I can't imagine that humanity can take a population blow like Mon'Star's plague every few years, much less two alien invasions, (NPC) factionized infighting, homicidal machines, two major wars that are soon to be three. Adding another, yet more powerful and evil alien invasion on top of that isn't icing on the cake anymore, its making the icing three feet thick.

If we only had the Nomads as ultimate bad guys, it could work. But we have far more than that, and while its easy to say "what's one more humongous threat to humanity" it isn't the best idea. Sorry, but I don't think its a good idea even though its a great story.
