Sorry, I had any idea where this question would fit better, that is why I opend a new thread for this. When someone has good idea... than move this, please.
Anyone else find out that the playercharacters in Mass Effect can hardly comment negatively on the Alliance? Even Shepard does so in ME2 I think only time is short compared with Kaidan / Ashley and makes them a reproach that they did not even seem to him and did not bother about the threat. Otherwise, there are hardly any dialogue options in which the PC is against the opinion of the Alliance and criticized. For what she does in truth. And not even Al Jilani has such questions and opportunities where Shepard can speak freely.
Nor does the Ryders, at least Scott, hold the Alliance accountable for their ignorance that he has not gotten a job. I think that's a pity.

The Ryder twins can show some disrespect for the Alliance if they wear N7 armor in front of Bradley. Bradley won't like it and will comment accordingly and the Ryders do have the option of making a sassy response regarding the significance of that armor (It could be covered in bunnies...).
Alec Ryder (a character we have no control over) is the one who really has the right to be bitter towards the Alliance and yet he never expresses that at all. It seems obvious to me that the twins are not too vocal about having any hard feelings towards the Alliance out of simple respect for their father. They can/do discuss the fact that their father having been discharged from the Alliance short-circuited their careers, but the implication is that Andromeda is meant to be a fresh start and a new opportunity. In other words, they're putting that behind them... and letting it go.
Furthermore, how are the Ryder twins exactly going to "hold the Alliance accountable" anyways. The Alliance doesn't exist within the Initiative; and for all they know, it may no longer exist in the Milky Way since more than 600 years has passed since they left the galaxy.

Well, the twins meeting several ex Alliance that quite this organisation by good to be part of the AI. Each of them were saying "Alliance was good thing", why the twins could not make a "disagree" comment about that?
How I said. I have the impression that Scott had more problems with that then Sarah. Was not it Scott who said he did not get a job anywhere because of Allianz? Somehow?
But that does not explain why this was not a topic during the trilogy.

On the one occasion, they could by suggesting that the N7 armor could be covered in bunnies for all they cared. Mostly though, I think it's because allowing the PC to criticize the Alliance would serve no purpose in the game... would not change anything about anything relevant to the actual plot of the game because the Alliance, as far as anyone knew there, might not even exist anymore. Ultimately, they are going to form their own military... probably from Tiran Kandros' militia.
As for the Trilogy, IDK. The writer's certainly couldn't write in choices for every possible opinion people might have wanted to express about the various organizations in the game. Why couldn't Shepard flatly refuse to work with Cerberus in ME2 and return to the Alliance back then?
