And I'm sorry, Verno, but they didn't go through all this much trouble with the Rachni to just not take the story anywhere beyond an email. I just don't buy it.

Err where exactly have they taken it? In the second game I encountered a single NPC who gave me about 5 lines of dialogue related to them. Did I miss some big Rachni event or something? Looking at the "consequences" from the transition between games the highest impact I've seen is a missing character so far. I'm sure I haven't seen all of the possible choices so perhaps other people have seen significant changes? If so please by all means, lets hear them.

They haven't TAKEN it anywhere yet, but you typically don't go through all this trouble setting up so much backstory without ever using it. The Rachni extinction / non-extinction is one of the main background stories of Mass Effect (along with the Genophage and the Quarian/Geth conflict.)

I seriously doubt they work all that background stuff out, especially how it relates to the Genophage, and then just let it die away.

I could be wrong, of course, but like I said, I don't buy it.
