In Defense Of The Virmire Survivor

That depends on knowledge that we the players have but which is not known to the characters in the story. This lack of knowledge among the characters will inform how they react.

If am not not mistaken somewhere here was a poll thread about whom would you prefer to work with in ME3 given a choice: Cerberus, Alliance, on your own.
The time I was reading it, many players wanted to work with Crberus in ME3. What happened later do not know.




The players know about something, but character do not live in "the Sone Age" (hope the meaning is clear here). They know not everything is studied, something new could be done, it is not impossible. Such facts should at least make characters think that maybe it is true, not that it is not impossible. Difficult to accept? But they live in a developing world - one of the thoughts any character in MEU should not forget and react accordingly.

Cloning? Followed by imprinting memories of said dead person?

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. It doesn't get much more extraordinary than the first proven resurrection in recorded history, especially when there is far more precedence for people simply faking their deaths.

First it must be proven that it is new, as opposed to the already well-known practice of people faking their deaths for various reasons.

You're still relying on information that is not available to the characters.

For me, implying Shepard as a traitor is disrespectful and an insult especially since neither knew the full details. I don't give a crap how much I like the character, I still would have smacked them upside the head.

The whole death thing was crap. The worst part is learning about stuff in the broker dlc that Shepard cannot question. So I'm more than happy for a remake to have Shepard survive the beginning to not having the broker dlc.

There wereothers who liked to have had that choice, me included. Not sure how it would happen. Maybe in a remake or if ME3 is remade.

My Shepard has no problem working with Cerberus. It's unfortunate they were turned into the keystone cops in ME3.

It would be possible. Have Gabby and Ken show up in ME1. Sam and Steve would show up in ME1. Kelly could be in ME1 as Chakwas's assistant.

Your right. After the reapers are destroyed, the galaxy learns that Cerberus can resurrect people. So what happens, with the few Cerberus personnel remaining, build a building to house all the ones who died, not counting the ones turned to goo and vaporized. Over the years those people are resurrected. Thousands of years later, the galaxy will look back saying Cerberus ended up being the good guys that fell victim to the reapers.

ME2's whole initial setup is crap, including Shepard's death, the crew running off after that, the humans suddenly not caring about their locust-style colonisation efforts anymore and the various other idiot balls handed to people (including the VS). All that was just made as dumb excuse for shoehorning Cerberus into the story.

Sounds just like what the Alliance would do, seeing as how they got what they wanted from Shepard.
