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

5 was pretty bad imo. Honestly 3-4 were top notch in how they nailed the themes they were going for. 5 felt disjointed and for me the creepy dude they went to far with. Not in what he did but to how it was basically to a laugh track.

This.

The High Lord Claymore speaks!

Shepard should have the option to let the geth be destroyed, when choosing the red, or letting the asari be destroyed

I headcanon my Shepard to head back to the SR2, after the what-the-crap hug with t'soni on Illuim, to change clothing and armor, take a decomtamination shower, have a blood transfusion, get a rabbies and tetanus shot. Then scanned to make sure all the asari coodies are removed

Zaeed has the best ending image of all characters in the trilogy

Pick the asari every time. 

I wanted an option to Control the geth like the Morrigan Admiral was saying. Maybe with the right choices in the Tali mission (e.g. revealing the data to the Admirals) you can get enough political clout to get the idiot Loghain Admiral demoted to a tugboat captain after his dopey stunt shooting up the Dreadnought with another admiral on it. You replace him with someone more level headed who sees the utility of using them as disposable cannon fodder against the Reapers (just like the Krogan hah!) after you take down the Reaper signal.

So you don't upgrade them with the Reaper crap. Instead you put the Legion machine back in the contraption and repurpose the signal to Control the Geth. Maybe include more Cerberus goodness (can always use more of them in the story) with Dr. Archer showing up from Project Overlord and helping you do this if you left the kid in the machine. If you took him out of it or skipped Overlord, you can't get this ending to the arc.

It'd fit thematically with the blue ending. Destroying them is like....well the Destroy ending. And the Reaper code upload everyone is friends now crap is the green.

Hire the shifty frogs to make another genophage.

That should be the plot of ME5 tbh, physical removal of the blue xenos menace that nearly destroyed the galaxy.

The aliens are extremely over-rated and behave just like humans. I'm unsure why fans go on and on about them when they basically act like most humans. I also don't like how characters like Garrus and Liara are kind of forced on you after ME1. You can dislike them in ME1, but by ME2 onward you are friends for life or something.

I also concur that ME3 MP is one of the best things in the franchise as well. It is preventing me from wanting to invest in MELE. I would have loved to see them remove all the glitches and issues with it running at 60 FPS.

Kaidan is one of the best written characters in the series. Don't know how "spicy" that is here, but in other places, people have acted like I'm insane for thinking this.

Liara is one of my most hated characters in any game I've played.

Morrigan Admiral...I am not Commander Shepard and this is favorite post on bsn. Now I want to romance her. I bet she isn't even a real quarian, maybe Morrigan managed to jump universes and is in disguise.

Easy. You set loose Sly Marbo on them. 😆😈👍

Normally that'd be heresy, but I'll let that slide.

If they're destroyed, you won't have to worry about one being able to reproduce, right?

Since asari reproducing is mentioned, the only way they reproduce is with the thorian as seen on Feros. They have a number of them on Thessia. When an asari wants a kid, she  pushes some buttons on a console indicating what traits will be added, climbs in a plant pod, then presto, a ready made asari.

The asari present a long term existential threat to the other races. Due to their culture, every asari birth is -1 birth for another species. This is compounded by the fact that asari are so long lived so a relationship with a human, batarian, turian, drell, ect, is likely the entire lifetime for the non-asari, but merely one of many such unions for the asari partner. This is probably why the asari are no so numerous in the galaxy. In fact, they are the most populace species.

Another factor in this is their cultural influence. This is of-course driven in part by their large population and accompanying economy, but another factor is probably all these asari/non-asari unions. When a human takes an asari as their partner they are probably going to want to seek economic and legal benefits as Alliance citizens. Their interests are now tied to their long-lived alien partner and any children she has, skewing the Systems Alliance's political priorities as with time a substantial portion of its citizenry is bound at the hip to an alien species. Doubtless this is an aspect of asari control over the galaxy.





I have a radical plan. We engineer a virus which alters asari DNA and turns them into Ardat-Yaskhi. This will forever end their ability to (peacefully) meld with other species to reproduce. The danger asari would present would also erode their cultural dominance and political standing. They'll become a galactic menace.

There are risks of-course, but it's the only way.
