Mass-effect – Do Reapers detect the Normandy’s presence when scanning faster as you approach closer towards the end of the game

mass-effect-3

I seem to have noticed that the Reaper alertness/presence indicator has been more and more sensitive and less forgiving as I'm approaching closer towards the end of the game.

Is this something that I think it's happening or does the game increase the speed at which you are detected towards the end?

Yes, the detection speed increases later in the game. The game does increase the speed of detection at the end; it seems like the AI gets smarter and smarter, doesn't it? :) Well with ME3, there are very advanced examples of AI (compared to other games), and this is another example of where they did it to increase the difficulty/get ya' thinking. I personally don't like how it seems like they evolve, but it happens, so what can I say? Sources: I timed detection early vs. end of the game.

Hope this helps!
