What are your too ***SPICY*** to handle hot takes of the trilogy?

Taylor is awesome. In ME3 he had to show the ME3 squadmates how to provide cover fire. He also has the gravity is one mean mother power.

Since the remaster has been announced, a few people won't buy it because no multiplayer. I would be curious how many others think the same. Would that have any effect on sales? Time will tell.

Nothing special about Vakarian. I would still have him as a squadmate because of his background. And yes, there is Shepard without Vakarian

Too bad my Shepard couldn't listen to some Ozzy, Led Zep, Iron Maiden and few others while in the elevator.

I agree. She and my Shepard are good friends. In ME3, when taken on a mission, Williams kicks a**

Shepard isn't that well done as a protagonist. They aren't well written bordering almost on full caricaature and they don't provide a wide variety of RP options. Their promotion to Spectre makes little sense given the available lore that was just established mere hours ago. The only reason they are probably popular owes to head canon and the fact they are such a power fantasy.

Mass Effect 2 is the worst-structured of the trilogy, riddled with too many obvious contrivances from start to finish.

Shepard’s thick a brick, and the bulk of this character’s appeal lies in the player’s capacity to tell off, punch or shoot most that disagree with them seemingly with impunity, along with being surrounded by mostly obsequious NPC’s that will just go along with whatever you say, all the way to the grave if necessary. Also, ME1 is the only game where Shepard is occasionally allowed to act smart.

Joker is unfit to be the Normandy’s pilot, and should be permanently grounded. It’s only by sheer luck that Mr. Glass isn’t spontaneously rendered incapacitated.

The geth are 100% responsible for the actions of the heretics. They could have offered peace under certain terms, but chose to let the heretics run wild and impale people on spikes and kill anyone who entered the Veil. For all this talk of self-determination, they sure made it easy to bolster the stigma of their kind when the only active units anyone encounters outside of Legion are basically murder minions that lay traps in the Terminus and kill colonists.

Mordin/Padok Wiks is a traitor to their people in giving the krogan clan leader information about the genophage cure.

Kasumi is obscenely overrated.

Every romance is poorly written in how they’re all initiated, some even cringe inducing, like Liara’s in ME1.

I think they were written that to make the player over look the atrocities the geth had committed previously.

15 year old salarian? I shoulda saved the Chris Hansen pic for you....

I disagree. I think Ashley surviving fits the things you think her dying does a lot better. For starters, her after the mission going it should have been her fits more precisely because of that attitude, so Shepard talking her out of that mindset is a lot more powerful, and seeing that she doesn't help anyone if she dies and how far is she willing to torture herself for the dead helps shape her moving forward. Meanwhile Kaidan has none of that.
Further, her surviving in future games helps restore and redeem her family's honor, going from being blacklisted to an icon via the second Human Spectre, where her dying doesn't really do anything. Meanwhile Kaidan doesn't really achieve anything when he lives than any other biotic couldn't, while him dying helps other human biotics through the money places like Grisson receive and the positive attention about biotics thus fulfilling the things he wished to help. 

Working with Cerberus is better than being with the Alliance
Kai Leng would have been the best character in the trilogy if he killed t'soni instead of giving her plane ticket to fly on Kai Leng Airlines
Without Mr. Rupert Garner's gumble, Shepard would never have been able to stop the collectors
ME3 would have been better is there were a lot more interrupts
Oleg Petrovsky would have done a better job playing the role of Anderson
ME2 should have been the first game instead of ME1 being the first
There should have been an option for Javik to throw the platform out the airlock
Had the cipher played a bigger role in ME3, t'soni would never have been needed
Hackett's ending would have received a lot less negative feedback than what the current endings received
Shepard should have been able to have a cigarette and drink with her/him when talking with TIM in ME2
Cerberus is the reason why the galaxy had a chance to destroy the reapers
Conrad Verner should have been a romance option for femshep
Gianni Parasini should have been a romance option for maleshep
Arrival is the best dlc in the trilogy
I would have preferred having a crucible dlc instead of having the Citadel dlc
