Unpopular opinions

Now your just needlessly complaining about something that there isn't any need to complain about.

There is no were for her daughter to live. She has to leave to survive but to allow her to leave would break the code she has to follow. Thinking only of her daughter she takes the only action she sees that will fit. It is only after she is interrupted that her daughter tells her that she will live in the ruins of the monastery so her mother will not be forced to kill her self.

How is that an unpopular opinion? There's like four basic layouts they use for almost every side mission. There is: the spaceship; the overground base; the underground base; and the mine.

Probably because:
1. DA2 came out later than ME1.
2. DA2 was a sequel, while ME1 was the first in the series.

That's definitely not unpopular with me. I am with you 100%. IMO, Revelation made a good start with it. The council almost denied humanity technological advances of any kind after finding out about their illegal AI research. They wanted to send observers to Earth to oversee what humans were up to, demanded economic sanctions and penalty fees. It was only due to ambassador Goyle's negotiations that this disaster got narrowly averted.

From then on, humans developed way too quickly, being the underdog was a lot more interesting than being part of the council and a super power.

Instead of pushing the Batarians into the role of of the violent outsider, it should have been us. As you say, it would have made Cerberus way more believable and interesting as well
Unfortunately, it looks like Andromeda will shift the lore even further into the direction of humanity being the best of the best. If the Andromeda Initiative really was started in 2176 and the Arks are really built above the moon, the Sol system basically was the centre point of just bout the biggest economical and engineering project of this cycle for almost 10 years by the time even ME1 started. If we could take the lead on something like this, finally getting a spectre in 2183 seems almost like an afterthought.

43% Soldier = The power of default.

Curing the genophage without Wrex is kind of insane.

I think the majority of people never played ME1 or 2, so didn't import a game. In this case, Wrex is dead. And they don't know exactly who is Wreav. They see the aspect of the Genophage, feel sorry for the Krogan, that are more sympathetic than the Salarians and are inclined to cure it.

Heavy risk...

Given how the writers treated Liara, she'd likely have been shown sympathy by the other teammates. What I'd like to see would be what Ashley or Kaidan would say. They'd probably be grateful that Shepard's back, but it would not be realistic to not be the least bit offended if Shepard was in a relationship with them.

Think about it, if someone you knew had a crush on your girlfriend/boyfriend made a literal life or death decision with their body and kept you out of the loop, wouldn't you be livid that Liara let all that drama on Horizon happen?

They might say something like: "That was really risky but NO ONE ELSE HAD THE RESOURCES TO DO THIS so I guess it's better than Shepard staying dead.  Good thing, too, because he stopped the Collectors and gave us an extra [entirely wasted] six months free of Reapers."  Just sayin'.

EDIT: But, yes, she could have informed Kaidan/Ashley or Anderson.  That part was dumb.  Still, it worked out for the best.

Hmm, I have more who cares huh:
- Anderson is laughably unqualified to be a Councilor.
- Overlord DLC is cool and quite interesting, but [my] Shepard doesn't run errands for Cerberus more than required bare minimum, so it gets ignored as some other missions.
- I don’t get the praise for LotSB DLC, I do it only for the sake of less uninformed Shepard in ME3 (and alive Feron as bonus).
- The new councilors, Irissa and especially Esheel, are among my favourite minor characters.
- I’m indifferent about Tali, yet she is one of the most sane, level-headed characters in the trilogy (especially if she's exiled in ME2; her "token" admiralty is too much).
- Garrus Vakarian is okay but overhyped character. It’s baffling how his "vigilantism" on Omega gets ill-deserved 'badass' praise. On the contrary, it's highly questionable and frankly pointless. Especially in context when everyone else gets shit for not doing enough about reaper threat after the Battle of the Citadel and Shepard' demise.
- Wrex is enjoyable in ME3 only with Shepard, who's unapologetic about Maelon data' destruction. With "faithful" Shepard there is too much sugar.
- Despite my respect and admiration for Kaidan Alenko and Ashley Williams (ME1), they are both unfit for the Spectre job (though Udina politicking' angle gives credibility for such ploy and I fully understand why it was done).
- I prefer "meta" killing off even my favorite characters (such as Miranda Lawson) rather than suffer their bastardized writing in the next game.
- People' fascination with a highly esteemed professional punching reporters and admirals remains a mystery to me.
- While it’s nice to be able to give Shepard a living parent in spacer' upbringing, Hannah Shepard was so criminally underused that it looks like this origin better off orphaned too.
- I wish Shepard had an option to get rid of Mr. Moreau for lack of professionalism, insubordination (and getting them killed).
- Despite my apathy towards the krogan, I'd trade the half of ME2 squad for Okeer as squadmate. The other half – for batarian squadmate.
- I appreciate Akuze' background for being the most neutral. But contrived forced cooperation with Cerberus (and absence of any triggered response regarding thresher maws) kind of ruins it.
- Rannoch arc is more interesting without Tali (or Legion).
- I dislike how the half of the background options (Mindoir, Torfan, Elysium) are with high anti-batarian bias.
- Jack and Garrus recruitments should have been optional in ME2 instead of, say, Tali and Legion. Why Shepard has to fight countless waves of mercs just to save some unknown "tactical genius"? Why Shepard has to cause a mayhem on Purgatory ship simply to get one powerful biotic (who is also a huge liability to Cerberus run ship)? I know it is a problem with almost all recruitments, but Mordin and Okeer are actually worth fighting for.

I don't recruit him in the majority of my playthroughs. He can be useful. A few times I recruited him after the suicide mission so that the councilor lives and Kirrahe lives

This topic sounds fun! Here goes:

- ShepLoo is the "real" Shepard
- Elevators in ME1 were really cool
- The hacking mini games in ME2 were fun and I missed them in ME3 a little bit
- The eviscerator was the best shotgun in 2 and 3
- Ashley's the only ME character that explained their faith in a way that didn't make me mentally barf (looking at you Thane and Suvi)
- Wrex wasn't particularly likeable in ME1
- Mordin's turnaround in ME3 was a disservice to his character
- romancing aliens is weird and gross
- Javik should never have been in ME3 (awesome thoigh he was)

- The following paragon magic fixes are vile abominations for even a paragon playthrough:
- Charming the jerk on Feros that wants to "purge" all the colonists
- Talking Saren/TIM into shooting himself
- Insta-healing Tali with a hug in her loyalty mission
- Sparing Niket on Miranda's loyalty mission (it makes him instantly cooperative for no reason)
- Sparing Maeleon in Mordin's loyalty mission because he "can't do anything now we took his files and access"
- Insta-perking Liara with a quick interrupt after the Thessia mission
