Things you wish would've happened in the trilogy

I wish the Rachni Dead version of the Rachni mission was set on a different planet to the Rachni Alive version, even if the layout and appearance was the same. It's absurd that both versions have the Rachni on the same random planet.

I found the site and the ideas shows a lot of promise and it would make sense if Mass Effect theme is dark, depressing, and full of horror. And I also agree that they should strengthen character development of Shepard to be vulnerable and broken but determined and calm when making tough choices out of bad situations that can effect the outcome of the story, the battlefield, and the ending. It would be a much better game if it had.

Some of it does seem interesting.  Thinking of the PTSD, I wonder if that would have been a way to encourage friendships and romances.  As if maybe the more shoulders you have to lean on, the more you can handle difficult situations.  Similarly, not giving people attentions (maybe no doing LMs) leads to squadmate deaths, higher rate of PTSD, and more difficulty in surviving.

Now this is a work of art that BioWare should've put in the game to make ME3 more realistic. The dreams of the kid getting burned is so weak.

In my previous post on the Potential of Allies and team mates in getting indoctrinated by the Reapers. It will be different for each ally and team mate if indoctrinated and how they attacked or lure you to the side of the Reapers.


Like I said before, I will have more indoctrinated Reaper Sleeper Agents to slow Shepard and within ME3 MP, Indoctrinated Reaper Forces(with indoctrinated Members from all Factions and species) will Replace Cerberus.

Well Keeping within Lore of Mass Effect Retribution, Cerberus will have a series of Sidequests to rebuild their forces if you choose to engage with them again. Also if you don't do their sidequests, they will be exterminated by the Reapers fully. One of their quest rewards will be upgrades for your cybernetic eyes like able to see Reaper implants hidden in the Reaper Sleeper Agents and able to Remove them from Reaper control. If Ashley Lives, and Doing Cerberus Sidequests, having a bad relationship with her, will increase the likelyhood for her getting indoctrinated by the Reapers due to they are targeting her to killing Shepard if possible. A possible scene, that you are checking your new upgrades, Notice a Reaper Husk talking to Ashley and giving her a bottle, then the Reaper husk points at Shepard and Ashley turns around and starts shooting at Shepard.

I am sure there are creepier and better ways of Ashley or anyone else getting indoctrinated by the Reapers and subverting Shepard and the rest of the galaxy's cause of stopping the Reapers. Also Giving into Liara too much is a potential for her and you get indoctrinated together and thus having two powerful individuals. Also a potential way of stopping Indoctrination within your shepard while respecting Player's choice is to have several ways of keeping Your Shepard grounded.

Well The above is just a part of what is going thru my head right now.

Things that I wish to happen? Let's see...

I would've rewritten ME2 entirelly to begin with, so let's stick with ME3, shall we?

I would like to have Miranda serving on the Normandy and not because I like her, before someone say anything (my preference was always Liara).
But Miranda could add a crap ton of things to the story, specially the distrust Kaidan/Ash have with Shepard, not mentioning people questioning Shepard because of her Cerberus ties.

I would like to see geth dropping out of the skies when fighting on Earth, imagine how glorious this would be?

I wish the Rachni were better developed, the way they are shown make the decision of killing the queen on Noveria pointless.

I wish we could fail some missions and the game still goes on, like the bomb on Tuchanka for example.
Yes, we couldn't stop Cerberus from detonate it, we are evacuated at the nick of time and the story goes on.
Also it was a lost opportunity to start killing squadmates.

I want a SDK to correct the Catalyst and some animations through the game.

They should've stuck with the traditional ranking system of the U.S. Marine Corps and Navy.

Pressly is "Navigator" and Adams is "Engineer".  I don't think those are ranks anywhere.  Pressly was also XO, which is a huge job for someone who is also navigator.  Then again, the same was true of Shepard as they approached Eden Prime but he still left the ship.

"Flight Lieutenant" is used in the Commonwealth, like UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the other 48 members. And since Bioware is located in Canada...

And here in Brazil too btw, we call it "Tenente Aviador". If you translate word by word you have "Lieutenant Aviator", but in english documents we just write "Flight Lieutenant".

According to the codex the official designation for soldiers, sailors, marines and other NCOs is "servicemen". Servicemen is any person serving in armed forces around the world, regardless of their origin or country. Every country has his own designation for their armed forces, like for example seaman, sailor or mariner, but if you look at the dictionary definition that's what the word means.

I see countless discussions about the rank, usually with complains, but it's interesting that Bioware created a generic rank system used in the entire world, not in a particular country.
After all, a lieutenant is a lieutenant in France, US, UK, Russia, Israel, India, Tuvalu, Jamaica, Iraq, China, etc.

Which is the purpose of the Alliance, "an independent supranational government representing the interests of humanity as a whole".

I saw some artwork (fan art, probably) once that suggested a mission that included invading a Reaper concentration camp.  Missions to infiltrate and destroy those would have been awesome and maybe we'd have seen some of what you were looking for.

Your description of how reaper troops are concived (manufactured?) is almost how super mutants are produced in the first Fallout. LOL
The difference is the FEV was in liquid form and the victims are dipped in tanks.

Urgh, Sanctuary reminds me a very dark passage of our own world's history.

I wouldn't mind a mission for destroying these centers too, but good lord.
If the Citadel is gruesome like that after we are teleported by the beam, imagine how those centers would be?
Specially the ones manufacturing canniballs.

Is funny when thinking of this, since we talked about the first Fallout, but in that game you have a lot of options to finish the tale.
You can destroy the super mutant army, neutralize them or join them.

If one good thing I can talk about the endings and EC is this, the DLC made the distinction more clear: you can destroy the reapers, join them or loose the war in favor of the next cycle.
Or you can accept the Catalyst word and find a way out for the reapers too, since nothing gets out of my head that Synthesis is just this.
A way out for the Reapers and the Catalyst.

Nobody wants to die anyway, not even AIs.

I would've loved to have fought inside a Reaper against the husks of its original species who act as its defenders.
