Things you wish would've happened in the trilogy

EDI is the most advanced cyberwarfare system around, STG probably doesn't have anything remotely as capable for hacking, nevermind that EDI was already datalinked with Cerberus before the shackles were removed. It is silly to think she couldn't have hacked them, or would just completely fabricate the answers to your questions.

If we pay attention in ME3, then we know TIM thought EDI would be completely under control with the shackles in place, and he is skeptical anybody in Cerberus would ever disable them.

I wish;

-  they rather used the dark energy subplot rather than the holo-kid programming fallacy.
-  Shepard would use class powers in cutscenes; catching falling squad-mate with biotics, sabotaging Eva Core and sneaking past enemies etc.
-  that Shepard could hold the biotic bubble-- do some badass scripted sniping or be the tech specialist in the suicide mission;
-  There was a proper epilogue scene. Either a "Star Trek VI" like ending, in case of destroy. Or if you chose synthesis, a gigantic memorial ceremony on earth. And, in case of control, Shepard--     with the help of the geth, constructing a body for his new AI mind. Would be hard to do-- but, fucking awesome!
-  That Khalisah Al-Jilani or Emily Wong joined your crew in ME3 instead of whatever-her-name-was.
-  That, if you were a renegade Shepard-- Samara would decide to "bring you to justice" in ME3-- and, you could have a epic boss duel with her!
-  That, Cerberus wasn't the secondary bad guys in ME3 like the collectors and geth were in earlier games. Would be cool to actually visit TIM and cooperate to end the reaper threat-- it too, would     set up the control ending. You could still do the whole indoctrination thing, and it would be far more emotional.
-  Shepard altered himself with reaper tech as was initially visioned by the developers; it would be amazing. 

I know many of these are very... unrealistic, and maybe stupid. But, it would be fun! Maybe?

My list:

-I wanted to keep my spectre weapons from ME1. I loved the design.

Looks like I am the minority for this part....

-lots of little blue children. You couldnt give me that ME3. Oh well.

-On the other hand, if people really don't connect with a character, don't force them on a player. Hope ME:A does this better. Because I def. understand where the "Oh no, not Liara" people are coming from. She was one of bioware's favorites. Esp in comparison to Kai/Ash. Since she did get a DLC in ME2.
-More varied planets.
-Would have liked more special side missions with various characters.

Its one of the weapons I used when I was in the military. It does a lot of damage

A more complete romance with Kelly.

If Javik is not recruited by the time of the assault on Cerberus HQ, Cerberus should have got hold of him. During the mission, the squad would discover a "Prothean autopsy" video log, parodying the purported Roswell autopsy. Squadmates would have commented on the video being an obvious forgery. Liara would have some unique dialogue.

Having a more stats-based combat system in ME1. I think Bioware should have stuck to what they did best at the time, because it seems as though nobody at Bioware had any real experience with real time combat. Although, to be fair, I probably wouldn't have gotten into Mass Effect if it was like that because I'd never played an RPG before then.

Interactions between squadmates in ME1 and 2. I really like these in kotor, and I have no idea why Bioware didn't have them until ME3. I know there were the elevator conversations, but they repeated after about two rides (although Kaidan and Ashley have some unique ones at the beginning until they just...stop).

If you choose him, everyone should have died, including Shepard. He should have been the only one to get out of it alive.

I really wish we could have sided with Cerberus in ME3. I would totally make that my canon ending.

that is why Indoctrination as a story element is poorly implemented....instead of one organization, having several sleeper agents within all organization, yes including the Alliance and the Council Space and Terminus. 


Yes having different types of sleeper agents slowing Shepard and company down thru different means. Some of them "befriending" and backstabbing Shepard in various quests also. Having Lawyers bringing law suits towards Shepard. Also suicide bombings whenever Shepard comes to the Citadel. Having Squad members getting indoctrinated and betraying Shepard. For example, what would the fans re action if Liara, Kaiden or Ashley betrays them at different times within their archs. 

Keep in mind, that the Milk Way Galaxy is large, also potential reaper artifacts to come across outside of Shepard. Immunity to Indoctrination aka Plot Armor always bugged me. One of my ideas does need to be included within Mass Effect 1 and build up within Mass Effect 2 and fully realization within Mass Effect 3. that is a cult that is about humans worshiping or inlove with the concept of Aliens and their uniqueness. Over time they are influence by them and gain power within both the systems alliance and council space in a political sense. they are working on getting rid of human religions of all stripes and replacing them with their philosophy. Henry Lawson, obsessed with his legacy and ego, gotten involved with them and thus dumping Cerberus. During this time, Henry gotten in contact with Harbringer's Collector Avatar and cut a deal with each other to stop all Factions including Cerberus, Terminus, Council and System Alliance. Using Convert action and Proganda to subtly influence the public to accept their Reaper Overlords. Henry becomes a Reaper A.I. similar to Soveregian was and oversee the galaxy while the Reapers sleep. Thus without Indoctrination but playing to his ego to become a god. I would have Henry Lawson appear within Mass Effect 1 and make him flashy charming good person on the surface with rumors of what he did and supposed ties to Cerberus and supposedly redemption by joining Paragon of Our Kinds. Well the Build up with Paragon of Kinds with Henry Lawson, Harbringer's Collector Avatar builds indoctrination devices within their ships and buildings thru out the galaxy, using them to spread the insidious nature of indoctrination thru the kindness of well meaning idiots that want to save the galaxy. Yes I will have them appears very heroic as a red herring, to misled both Shepard and the Players to look at them as heroes and not villains. with their hidden indoctrination devices hidden thru out the galaxy, Inducing new species and healthy variety of enemies to face with a healthy variety of tactics.

If we gotten an Indoctrinated Ashley, her flipping the fuck out will different than an Indoctrinated Kaiden or an even Indoctrinated Liara. Same goes with any potential indoctrinated characters or team mates, Yes I have a Random Number to keep it out of the player control. Well having a chaotic element of sleeper agents attacking you in each playthru will be different. Reason, to piss the players off and make them paranoid in whom to trust.


Yes I would keep Sanctuary as it without Cerberus and make Henry Lawson more involved as the Project Manager. 

I could go for that.

Look at Liara. On Mars she says she found plans for a device that could wipe out the reapers. For her to say that she had to have seen the plans, and study them to know if that was possible. But she didn't otherwise she would have sent a copy of them to Hackett right away. 

Lets say she did see the plans. She found out there is an artifact on Thessia that can help. What does she do? She gets hold of the asari councilor. The councilor immediately tells Liara to keep that to herself.
liara: Why? This is what could stop the reapers:
ac: Let me remind you something Liara. Our species is number 1. I, and others like to keep it that way. If it was known we have something, the other species may use that against us. You don't want that do you?
liara: No ma'am. 
ac: You know what you have to do. Remember our species is in your hands. Don't fail me or your species.

So Liara plays stupid. 

So when she says the plans are being downloaded at another location, she panicks. So when A/K says it has the data, Liara hopes it doesn't have the part mentioning Thessia. Liara kicks herself for not suggesting she stay behind to make sure there was any information that might have been missed. If it is, she could just delete it.

Another is she is contacted by the asari councilor on her private hotline asking t'soni to find a way to sabotage the genophage. It ends up that asari are the ones that sabotage the cure. 

That could be a way Liara would betray Shepard and the galaxy.
