There's one: How do the asari recruit their commandos? Here's one. How many asari does it take to fly the destiny? None. Apparently they were all using the stripper poles on the ship instead of flying away from the battle with the council onboard leading to the ship being destroyed. Since you can only like a post once... There's some thumbsup: 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Was T'soni considered an expert? She says herself in ME1 that she is considered to be barely more than a child and her research isn't being taken very seriously by her own species. Ashley calls her an expert
On the ship she says her real expertise is the study of protheans.
During From Ashes, Shepard will say prothean expert So Shepard and Ashley think she's an expert... but are there any Asari who consider her to be an expert? I think the closest I heard in game was Vasir saying in a rather ironic tone that Liara was making good use of her degree... could have meant she was doing well at convincing Shepard she was an expert.
What is the definition of an expert? One who knows more and more about less and less until he knows absolutely everything about nothing.

Forgot one small point in my list. Citdel, finale: Giving an option/interrupt that allows me to shoot TIM's head off without having to listen to his blathering yet again. The "Saren suicide" was heavily criticised in here as of late, but at least you could fight him directly. Why require talking to TIM again if you already decided to have his head? And TIM gives at least ten thousand more reasons to do so compared to Saren.
Thessia, aftermath: Shepard musing about having failed while the goal was not to battle the Reapers on the ground and losing a boss fight that is not meant to be won. Thessia - However, Shepard did fail the mission. The goal was to recover the artifact and Shepard failed to do that. My issue is that the tigthly scripted character of the Kai Leng "boss fight" ruins it completely. Its hard to feel bad for failing something that is so thorougly and obviously meant to fail, by gameplay.
Thessia - However, Shepard did fail the mission. The goal was to recover the artifact and Shepard failed to do that. Had the asari revealed the artifact earlier, it's possible Shepard would have retrieved the information without Cerberus interfering Uhm, no. If the artifact would have been revealed earlier, Cerberus would just have interfered then. You should know that, shouldn't you? Your powers of observation proceed you UpUpAgain. Do you have any other talents you wish to share with the forum? A moot observation if ever there was one. Maybe so, but mine wanted to call out the asari councilor for her species not revealing the artifact earlier, but instead says sorry to the alien. Not saying that you have to love everything they put in the game. But your Shepard doesn't override what's written into the game. Clearly, the player was never given any option to obtain knowledge about the artifact earlier in the game. He/she is apologizing for failing the mission... which is a cold hard fact. It's got nothing to do with Bioware not respecting player choices. No choice in that matter was ever given. Shepard failed the mission... and Bioware deemed that all Shepards would feel bad about failing a mission. Shepard is given no choice in accepting the mission either. You can't refuse to attend the meeting with the Alliance Brass at the beginning of the game and bolt out of detention and steal the Normandy to divert the Reaper attack. There are a ton of events in the game for which the player is never given any choices. That's inherently different than Bioware giving choices and then punting those options out of the canon. ... I guess it is the burning asari hatred. I bet that I'm not hating Cerberus as much as some here hate asari. I'm pretty sure 99% of the "blues and purples" did not know about it as well. The gov't officials and matriarchs that did knew should be subject to the same regulations and punishments that they themselves put in place for withholding prothean artifacts. Punishing all asari for it is pretty hypocritical, unless one is willing to that to humanity as well, because... uhm, Cerberus? Oh, and they are more widely known by ME3, yet most humans apparently still don't care much. Apart from that, could someone inclined open an extra thread about stupid asari jokes? It is getting a bit old having those cropping up in every thread. I would be perfectly willing to keep my own personal Cerberus beef somewhere else, but I guess nobody here would join in so I won't get any likes. Too bad.

Well Try it, you might be popular in here if you are Anti-Cerberus and Pro-Alien. Me, Batpool and Themikefest are the only known Cerberus Supporters in here.

Its hard to feel bad for failing something that is so thorougly and obviously meant to fail, by gameplay. I've heard this a lot. It always leaves me wondering why this design was OK in KotOR but not ME3. Anyone have any insight?

Well, then some of you are apparently the loudest in here. What I never got is why would Bioware would go through the effort of creating all those nifty galactic lifeforms if most of the screentime past ME is given to a bunch o' boring humans who are essentially space nazis by another name. Powering them up to Mary-Sue-levels of plot armor does not help either. I guess that the Cerberus mindset is just "alien" to me. Bwahahahaha. If the artifact would have been revealed earlier, Cerberus would just have interfered then. You should know that, shouldn't you? Since the artifact wasn't revealed earlier, there's no way to know. You should know that, shouldn't you?
I was addressing the point that Cerberus would most certainly have been given their usual treatment of "We get what we want if the plot/writer demands it, even if it does not make much sense." regardless.

I don't know. KotOR was actually the first Bioware game I played... well, more like "tried to play". I never got off Taris. I'll have to give it another try someday. I suspect you are either referring to Kreia or possibly Darth Sion? Anyway, for me, such a painfully obvious "YOU LOOSE! Muahahahaha!" script followed by "Alas, you failed." would not attract any less ire from me in another game, not even SW. Though I might be a tad bit more forgiving if the "bad guy" would actually have been more than a bland, faceless troll.

Ah yeah, Kai 'I'm not really an assassin' Leng. It was him that caused his mission on the coup to fail. On Thessia he ends up crying like a baby while he recharges, then instead of killing the asari, like any assassin would, he gives the asari a plane ticket to fly on Kai Leng Airlines. Along comes Cronos. It was nice to have Shepard talk smack to the ponytail. He didn't like that. And like on Thessia, he has to recharge to do anything. My suggestion to him would be to give up on trying to be an assassin to join the Olympic gymnast team since he can do cartwheels so well.
I like this comic with Leng and Traynor

Kai Leng at 100% of his power, for reference. Bet he was nerfed so that Miranda can live despite having his attention for a second or two.

Which is why I added "past a certain point." It's great in the beginning, like your first drug dose, but over time takes too much control and leaves you worse off than when you were without it.

Grayson was remote-controlled at that point, his body more cybernetic than organic. But I'm just playing because there's no evidence that Kai Leng was ever indoctrinated to any extent.

Lets face it, Kai Leng is an asshole regardless if he is indoctrinated or not. And A part of me would have Shepard or a new character out-phantom Kai Leng.
