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

Also Anthem to be continued???

Not again....

Unless the mercs are innocent.
Anyone under indoctrination can be considered being coerced by the Reapers for example.
And we all know coercion is aimed to the innocent. 
Stockholm syndrome on steroids that have been given steroids.

The games beat us over the head with how they aren’t, to the point of ridiculousness in my opinion. Every mission has them established as being evil doing terrible things, or have them attack us first, or both.
As for the indoctrinated, we’ll most of them you don’t have to fight. For example the Salarians in Virmire can be left in their cells. As for Cerberus, as established they’re pretty much Husks and is established there’s nothing left of the people there.

A shout out to Chairman Burns who is the only politician who decides to stand up for Shepard, even to the point of loosing political power, and sending the player an email detailing he might not have a lot of pull but that Shepard can count on him on anything we need after we saved him and made him see reason for dealing with the Biotic L2 reparations and then getting completely forgotten by Bioware like a lot of characters in ME3 heck, why didn't we had a way to contact him after the Collectors Base was dealt with and actually create a small group of individuals who were working to start getting ready for the Reapers like Garrus did in ME3 or, did Bioware just killed him when Arcturus Station was blown up?

Edit, the email in question:

From: Martin Burns



Commander Shepard,



Udina said this would reach you. I wanted you to know that I haven't forgotten what you did for me the day those crazy biotics took me hostage. You talked them down and you got me off that ship alive.



I won't lie to you. I took this job for the pull and the power. I saw the biotics issue as a stepping stone, something good to put on my resume. And I was wrong.



We all serve humanity in our own way. I don't know what you're doing, but I'm going to see to it that humanity reaches its potential with a minimum of bloodshed. I'm getting letters of thanks from L2 biotics who just received their reparations. Those letters should really be coming to you. I just thought you should know.



Good luck. I've taken some political heat, so I don't know that any offer to help you would ever be useful. But if you need me, I won't let you down.



Martin Burns



Chairman, Subcommittee for Transhuman Studies

He is a politician, so you should already be suspicius of him, but here we see he deals with Biotics specifically. So we can theorize he is on the field Khalee Sanders area, a shame he never materializes,

That is true but developers can't account for everything players might do, but it is good when things like the ME2 Suicide Mission.

That is true, but she was also infected with spores from the Thorian (who has a similar indoctrination method like the Leviathans) which make her enter a shared state of mind with the rest of the colonists and thus make her resist the Reapers calling to her.

Well, there might have been plans to include the Thorian to a bigger extent (remember the sidequest in Illum where we meet either her or a colonist if the place survived where they were investigating the Thorian further) but apparently script changed.

Nah, done before. But Andromeda? Same shit different Galaxy? Can't wait to go back there, right?
I don't want to go there. I just don't.

I wouldn't mind having another game in the MW. I just do.

I gave it some serious thought today.

The MET did have more impact on me. If I think about MEA then I have to think harder what it was about. The characters weren't memorable either. I'm watching videos of MEA to refresh my memory, because I'm not even interested to replay the game.

Will it be hard to make a MW comeback? Sure. Especially given the ME3 ending. But I rather have that than the mediocre Andromeda lore.

What I came to see in my second playthrough on Andromeda was how characters like Liam matured and grew less cringe.


Wasn't the planet Preying Mantis (in Hanar) in ME2 cursed with a reputation of making ships that tried to discharge their drive cores be "swallowed" by the planet? As I read that it sounded partly like a defense mechanism against Reaper tech.



Both galaxies' have potential but they require Bioware writers to sit through all their stablished lore and actually plan their s---, after the video of the endings in ME3 I started to realize EA got tired of the multiple s--- Bioware lose creative vision brought to revenue and might have sent that guy (forgot his name) to either oversee its crash or stablish some order.



Indeed, like a return to the Omega 4 Relay just so A/K, Vega and the Alliance misfits saw what they missed in ME2 oh right, we can't even access the Omega System in ME3 and that relay likely went bye bye in one of the endings..... I hope those Cerberus remains enjoy their isolation wait, THAT is another aspect to explore.
