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

"I don't like mercenaries. An assassin is just a PRECISE mercenary."

Uh, Jacob? YOU'RE a mercenary too. You're just motivated by ideals instead of credits. The second the Alliance Corsairs started inconveniencing you, you shacked up with terrorists. (BTW all that "red tape" both you and Garrus complain about is there to prevent governmental/police overreach of power. "Regulations are written in blood," as they say)

Jacob: I found another woman
femshep: I found a woman too.
Jacob: Wow. Didn't see that coming
femshep: That's alright. I got the better prize

Do you find it shocking that people discuss Bioware characters on a Bioware forum?

What? Miranda can't hold the bubble in the collector base only samara and Jack can. Miranda fails and get one of your crew killed. Jack is way more powerful and better with her biotics. She's a pure biotic, which Miranda is not. As far a biotics goes, out of those 2, Jack wins period.

Also overload don't do shit, jack is a biotic and uses barriers not shields, and has warp as well in ME3 so what's your point?

Okay but doing all 3 loyalty missions, point still stands only Samara and Jack can hold the barrier whereas Miranda can't. Everyone fails their job if they aren't loyal, so that is a moot point.

Liara states that she is sorry for what happened with Williams but goes around to call her shortsighted when for two years she kept the information of Shepard being dead and what she did for them or even better, BEFORE Horizon but it appears Williams (and Kaidan) didn't contact her but relied on Anderson who was also working on an antidote against the Collectors sting and didn't told our Shepard when we met him before Horizon which, combined with Mordin counter measures would have helped more Alliance Forces after Horizon but to be real all  governments wanted to use Shepard as a their toy in ME2 behind his back and in ME3 he just goes along 100% with the same government who incarcerated him after doing their dirty work (Collectors, Shadow Broker is now someone they can pin a name and the Bahak Relay) and that should have been also explored with the Virmire Survivor. 

The email we get from Williams if they are the LI tells players she is having a lot of conflicting thoughts about everything (kind of explains her drunk scene in ME3 as in the letter she says: "I don't know what is real anymore.") and should have been followed by another communication in ME2 after the Collectors Base was destroyed. What I am pissed is how Bioware decided to use the Virmire Survivor as a plot conflict without a need in ME3 to introduce NEW players that Shepard worked for The Illusive Man: 

Bioware could have easily introduce an email that the VS writes to you depending on the Collectors Base fate (unless both Anderson and Hackett decided to keep that information from the Virmire Survivor so their new poster soldier isn't hampered by Shepard Cerberus connections regardless of how the player manages it) but like I said: They wanted to use the VS as a conduit against Shepard. When Williams said that she feared that Cerberus implanted a mind chip I wanted to have the option to tell her how close of the truth she got as Miranda almost certainly did so only to be stopped by TIM and as her initial accusation that the Shepard felt he owned Cerberus well that is actually another reasonable assumption as Tesla Vasir wanted to kill both Shepard and Liara on behalf of the Shadow Broker because of all the intel he provided her for years so yes, having a character who questions your allegiances IS refreshing but players SHOULD  have had more opportunities to discuss that problem in ME2 and ME3 but noooo, the game needs shipping.  

Had Bioware not cut Leviathan from the game and included what they did in the Extended Cut, which they developed from scrath, was included in the base game a lot of the original outcry would not have happened.
I still consider them s--- with some readiming qualities after Leviathan and EC but we can all agree that the game could have used a post ending state introduced by a DLC like Fallout 3 did with Brotherhood of Steel.

Edit: there were more issues other than the ending (like Priority Earth originally being planned like a massive Collector Base assault but there was a rush to finish).

Yeah I'm definitely not saying there aren't faults, there are but the endings imo weren't as bad as some people made out, I remember people were talking like they wasted years playing and waiting for the trilogy, I just look at the bigger picture the games brought me a lot of entertainment and I was reasonably satisfied with most of the endings (the control one I thought was good even). Definitely not time wasted
