Unpopular opinions

make destroy green color and the synthesis red color.

 I like destroy being red. I'll stick with that.

Elaborate on that please

@robtherobber : We're all entitled to our feelings so don't worry about it. Myself, I happen to love the entire trilogy. I'm not super fond of the RGB choices, but it also doesn't upset me very much. I've only been playing since early 2016 and I played the entire trilogy from start to finish in one go. I didn't pay a lot of attention to the details in that first run. I had a specific goal in mind when playing and part of that was allowing Shepard and LI to live happily ever after. Therefore, G and B were eliminated immediately. (Tried Synthesis once, and it was fine, but no Shepard.) It was only as I did multiple playthroughs that I started to notice some of the flaws. Still, none of it got me bent out of shape. I'm sure it helped that the original BSN was on its last legs and I didn't have to see all the negative postings about it. It's all archived on Fextralife now but I don't have much interest in reading through all of it. I've got my own opinions and, while I find what others say to be interesting, I'm not here to be swayed.

Now, I could watch someone pick the trilogy apart but why bother? If I get enjoyment out of it why should I look for reasons not to like it? There are elements I can live without. And since I always choose Destroy I've cut to the chase and installed MEHEM. Cuts out a conversation I don't need to hear anyway.

Is this because you're not speccing Garrus to God Mode?

Garrus spec'd to God Mode is quite a sight, and having been reminded of that, is one of the reasons I'm going back to the OT right now. And I found Kaidan to be sadly useless in ME3, unfortunately. He's uninteresting after bringing him back to the Normandy, so I rarely bring him with me on missions. I think I always bring Kaidan to Eden Prime, but mostly just out of nostalgia.

Alright, ten more because reasons:

1) I like Thane. Kolyat's scene in Citadel Dlc is one of my favorites in the trilogy. But I can't stand talk with this guy because that annoying memory thing. Jesus, just die already.

2) ME2 is not only the worst of the trilogy. Is more. ME2 is a mistake.

3) Joker is......only ok? And that's it.

4) TIM is a better antagonist then Saren. Later I explain why.

5) Canon shep = soldier, male, earthborn, paragon, liara as lover. PERIOD.

6) Ash IS racist. And NO. You will not convince me otherwise.

7) Collectors sux, excepted in the main point. Is absolute awesome fight against this guys. Geth are pussys, reapers forces are ok, the 3 mercs forces are really good but not as danger like the Collectors and cerberus army is just boring.

8) Main reason to hate Jacob? His teeth. Yes, I'm shallow like that.

9) Aside few ones, asaris are ugly.

10) fallout nv > best fallout ever. What does this have to do with the trilogy? Nothing and I do not care XD

- Overcoming the genophage (Okeer, Grunt, male shaman) is miles better theme than curing it. I will inflict upon the genophage the greatest insult an enemy can suffer. To be ignored. Gives me shivers every time I hear it.
- Alenko and Williams is my favourite squad.
- I think Bioware mixed up the value of salarian and krogan war assets.
- Allying with the Breeder is the only one f*cked up 'renegade' choice.
- I really like all UNC assignments in the first game. N7 missions (ME2, ME3) suck.
- Admiral Xen is not 'crazy'.
- I like the coldness with which Shepard can kill/execute Shiala, Wrex, Balak, etc. I have a distaste for over-the-top scenes like Shepard throwing away the gun in disgust if Solus/Wiks was shot.

I don't know why you think he ignored the flaws in ME2, he gave that quite a thrashing too (he also didn't ignore the flaws in ME1, but there were less of them in that one... I'll just add "in my opinion" to avoid further arguments). Honestly... this is going nowhere. We could argue and argue, I've done this to death and I know from experience that this isn't going anywhere. I won't convince you and you won't convince me, so I'd like to offer agreeing on disagreeing.

What about leaving David Archer with his brother? Or choosing Morinth over Samara? The second one still baffles me because at least with most of the renegade choices there's a practical reason for them. The only reason you'd kill Samara as even the most renegade of renegades is because of her promise to kill you when the mission is over with. But you already have what you need, her commitment to get the job done. There's no guarantee Morinth wouldn't screw you over at first opportunity. And besides, Commander freakin' Shepard with a full crew at their side could probably take Samara, Matriarch or not. I mean Shepard and squad took Benezia no problem and she was supposed to be incredibly powerful.

Those two minor choices are kind of hard to compare to making a deal with raving reaper monstrosity and sending it to help with the Crucible. Shepard can think that any advantage against the geth shouldn't be thrown away just because of emotionally manipulating cutscene. (By the way, I ignore Overload 'cause my Shepard is not Cerberus' janitor.) And recruiting Morinth isn't way more dangerous than having an active geth, Jack and Grunt aboard.

I think in this thread it's liking Garrus that's unpopular.

I'm not changing any terms. I'm pointing out a fact that you are following the same pattern as many others. Displaying the same mentality as they have shown were no explanation will ever be enough because it seems like they want to be able to complain about something.

Case in point about Prothean look. In ME 1 you visit several Prothean ruins and no such pictures or statues exist go give a hint to how they look. The statues only show up on Ilos and only in the maybe 1 sq mile you move around in on the level. Which is the equivalent of aliens landing in Disney World and assuming humanity is 6 foot tall anthropomorphic animals who live in castles and worship a god called Mickey Mouse.  Not to mention at that point in time we are already aware of the Reapers and the fact there have been previous cycles besides Prothean. Nothing save your own will says that is what Protheans look like in game.  And when they developed the Collectors they throw them into a 2 second frame which still fits with the over all warning the message from the Beacon was about and you still complain.  Just like how Husks are still human looking when the basis for Javik was made using the Collectors for the same reason of similarity. An effect that would be seen again with Cannibals, Marauders, Banshee, and Ravagers that while altered still hold semblances to their original species.  You jump to conclusions and then complain about them later.  That is a similar flaw I've noticed in others that show a similar thought pattern to you.

Yet none of this matters because your opinions will never change because no explanation will ever be good enough.  I'm not being mean I'm being factual based on a long history of dealing with players showing the same mentality as you.  Your statement about Thermal Clips earlier is explained explicitly in ME 2 in one of the Codex's. How during the Geth attack on the Citadel the rapid fire Geth weapons were found to be more effective at eliminating barriers. So the galaxy switched to a disposable clip for increased fire rate since fire rate is more useful for shield dropping then more power behind each shot.  The entire conversation between Shepard and Conrad on the Citadel in ME 3 was BioWare actively acknowledging how stupid the set up is and a tongue in cheek forth wall breaking comment to players about how they know the game play set up doesn't make 100% sense in the game's universe.  But you still find issue with it and this explanation will not satisfy you and you will still have a problem with it.
