Domo Arigato Mr Roboto - The Legion Thread

Well, this thread could use a Hi!
I may not like Legion in a romantic sense, but I'll miss that literal minded gestalt program!

Hang in there, some fan threads take time to take off.
Personally, I was worried that Legion was going to be a goofy, fun loving AI personality. Finding out that it had a cold, detached, literal approach was refreshing and fascinating. And stress free! I could poke it with questions several times and not worry about annoying it!

Son of a shoggoth, do you have any idea how long that song is gonna be stuck in my head? It took a month to get Angel of the Morning out of my head after Deadpool! It'll--oh god, now that's back too! *throws a chair*

Legion is my favorite character in the series. I am absolutely abhorred by how they ruined him in ME3. I'm told that his original writer left so they pretty much just tanked him. He says and does a lot of things in direct contradiction to his perfect ME2 depiction. Then he's the only squadmate across all 3 games that you can't save no matter what. You can even technically save Thane by ignoring him in 3. But Legion absolutely, 100% must die no matter what. To make things worse, he's the only squadmate who gets no content in the Shitadel DLC. Everyone else does, even dead characters. Legion can literally be on the Normandy the entire DLC and it's never even acknowledged. Thane comes back as a fucking GHOST if you romanced him, but Legion is never even mentioned. Oh, that pinocchio "he's a real boy now!" scene made me want to murder BW with a spork.

Can we just, like, strike ME3 Legion as non-canon or something?

Legion fun fact after all my whining: people rarely notice but in ME2 when talking with Shepard, his lights will sometimes turn a slight pinkish hue. For example, when Shepard asks why Legion used his/her armor instead of something else. He's blushing.

Legion was easily one of the best things to come out of ME2. I just wish Chris L'Etoile would have been able to write him the way he originally envisioned. Legion's Pinocchiofication in ME3, not to mention his completely nonsensical death, was a great letdown. Whereas Mordin's death felt worthy, Legion's didn't and felt really, really forced.

OP really missed their chance by not going with the title "there was a hole - the Legion romance thread"
