Unpopular opinions

I can see how playing as a Dutch underwear model might have that effect. 

I have nothing against Kaidan, I'm sad that you can't have the Ash/Kai double act for all three games, I'm not sure who I'd sacrifice instead, although the choice would be nice. Having to lose Wrex in a heroic last stand would have been better than the option of shooting him/getting him shot . I'm sure somebody could be found to stand in for Liara in ME3... maybe you could pick up Traynor on Mars, that'll work.

Some intrepid players found out that there was going to be a third option for Virmire. There is dialogue buried that mentions Virmire and something about "I can't believe what you pulled off."  In short, it looked like the devs had considered having both Ash and Kaidan around after Virmire, but it got scrapped before it fully came to fruition.

Here's another one for me:  I think both Jennifer Hale and Mark Meer did excellent jobs as Shepard.  Jennifer's more emotive, Mark's more dry and stoic.  Some lines Jennifer does better than Mark, and vice versa.  I'm glad I've finaly given a Sheploo a ME session.   It's been worth it and every bit as fun as playing a FemShep is for me.

When it comes to the voice acting style differences, it's a trend that I've noticed in other games as well.  One of my favorites is Saints Row 3 and SR4.  Troy Baker is Male Voice #1 for the PC, and he's a lot more direct and dry with his humor.  Laura Bailey is Female Voice #1 and she tends to be more emotive and sarcastic.  I would enjoy seeing the reverse sometimes.  /offtopic

I wanted my Shepard to laugh at Joker's joke, after Thessia, then make a joke as well.

Bailey isn't bad, but she's played out. We need more roles for Lady Platt and Lady Grey, both of which would be a good choice for femryder.

Not sure if that is actually an unpopular opinion. 

It's such a stupid line that I just pick the Renegade option and be a dick.

The ME1 favoritism was so annoying in the main game.. but it's worse that they persist even in that DLC.

On one hand, I think Mac Walters meant well. At least he came up with the idea of a party and made the Foundation comics. I think he cares about all the characters.

But Weekes wrote the Citadel quest itself. It's just another reason for me to dislike him. He had a responsibility to carry the ME2 characters given to him, but I think he only cared about Mordin and ME1 stuff.

Well, I think it's the lack of L'Etoile that diminished these things. As well as Brian Kindregan. Combined, this is Legion, Thane, Ash, Jack, Samara, Morinth/Ardak Yakshi, Grunt, Rachni, and Okeer/all of Tuchanka from ME2.

See a pattern here? None of this was treated well.. Not even Ash, who had a big enough part in ME3. edit: L'Etoile also wrote EDI.. but I don't mind her direction. It's just that Legion didn't need to be that way as well.

I made some attempts early on to design my own Shep.  They always ended up looking like escaped lab experiments

Her ME1 incarnation is definitely one of the best companions in the entire trilogy and i consider her the only decent waifu for maleshep(the 'mance had proper buildup and was developed more than the others).

The Mako received a lot of misplaced hate, when it was the bland copy and paste UNC worlds that were the main culprit. The mako itself controlled fine(at least on PC it did).

It would not of been hard to have both in the trilogy. If the player romances one, the other would be the one not seen on Horizon in ME2 and would be the one that Shepard faces when confronting them while protecting the council leaving the other one to be on the Normandy for the first half of ME3 instead of being in the hospital
