Things you wish would've happened in the trilogy

If we went with the indoctrination route, the Reapers  will use her love for Shepard, her people and lust for knowledge of the Prothean to slowly indoctrinate her and use her shadow broker network to retake the Citadel. Of course I would have other sleeper agents to keep Shepard and the players on edge. What is going thru my head is whatever piss players off, and every possible roadblock imaginable will happen. Including getting arrest on the citadel for something completely unrelated.

I do think Mikefest's ideas has merit and true, everyone that gave their ideas have merits. Personally I would love to have a proper foreshadowing within Mass Effect 1 if Starbrat was more involved in the story. Also A better build up for both Harbringer and Sovergian, And Having Harbringer as a Bigger bad to Sovergian. A potential idea for defeating Sovergian is that Virgil give shepard an access code to the prothean EMP weapon at the citadel to temporary scamble Sovergian. 

I would have Cerberus as one of their science project to make an more effective weapon for their soldiers and ships. and depending on your relationship with both the Cerberus and Alliance, you can "leak" a successful copy of their weapons to everyone else. Also a Contiunous sidequest for the Dead Reaper, you find the Reaper Killer super weapon and find to get an useful copy and help Cerberus to make it an success. Also there will be an Admiral you have to deal with him and his N7 Squad. He has no love for Cerberus and how you deal with him make him an potential ally for you to leak Cerberus Tech too. Well Yes I will keep Cerberus small and not the Second Coming of the Sith Empire of the Jedi Civil War Fame or the Keystone Cops. I will make The Events of Mass Effect Retribution canon including the Turian Raids on Cerberus Bases and freezing of their public and private assets.



I will have Lakota a Cerberus Phantom from My mass effect dreams, Well she will be very much your classic renagede in the sense, that she is sardonic, effective and highly self confidence with the skills to back up her words. she is good with all type of weapons ranging from assault rifle, smg, heavy, shotgun, and sniper rifles. Like many phantoms, she will be good with the sword and phase disputor weapons. she is very sentinel lite in the sense she is good with tech and biotics  as well. She will be useful and helpful with teaching Characters that are not at adept at combat to be more useful. Also game mechanic storyline blending if you gain her trust, she will help you and other characters unlock new abilities and weapon slots.

In the looks department, she is an attractive blend of Bo-Katan Kryze of Star Wars Clone Wars fame and Aimee Man the musician with brown hair and brown eyes.

Well A lot of problems within Mass Effect 3 stems from bad writing including The stupidity of Reapers, Cerberus and other factions. For Example, Kotor 2 has a extremely rushed development cycle and it had a lot of it on the cutting room floor. Same with ME3. well to have an respectful third act of choice heavy game like Mass Effect games, a more generous budget and development cycle will be required. Even with that, you can't please the fanbase. Well you can't truly please the entire fanbase regardless of the budget, manpower or development. So making a good game great does take time.

Listening to your fanbase is a good and bad thing.

Yeah, I know it would have resulted in almost two separate games in one and would be infeasible to do especially when it was made, but I can dream.

Well the one garrus gives is the cannon rather than a missile which is another point that annoys me, where did it go? As it wasted a collector ship easily would do some damage to a reaper, but the missles would have been massed produced if they were that powerful, as human nature would make humanity stock up on the most powerful arms (think current day nukes). Which also leads to why did the fleets not have such a powerful weapon, could be a torpedo or a missile or have both. Seems the ships were deliberately gimped when the story needed us to get utterly destroyed.

The one fired on Rannoch? If you watch, the rounds hit the reaper before it opened its doors to use its beam of doom. At that point, it appeared to be destroyed. 

When the thing gets up, Shepard paints the target. The reaper is fired on, but doesn't fall over. It fell over the first time without being hit in its firing chamber. Why? It happens again a couple more times. It only falls over after the thing and Shepard are eye-to-eye. Was the scene done that way because Bioware thought it would be cool for Shepard to kill a reaper on foot? What makes it bad is the fact the reaper fires its beam of doom vertically towards Shepard instead of horizontally. Where would Shepard run to if the thing did that?

In another thread I mentioned that the game is full of choices. So why not have Shepard call for a shuttle to his/her location. If Shepard chooses destroy, Steve, if alive, can fire at the tube. If control is chosen, why not have edi control the reapers? If synthesis why not have the shuttle fly to where Anderson and Tim are. Grab one of the bodies and throw it in the beam of green. Or better yet. Go back to the chasm and grab a body from there to toss in the beam of green.

My Shepard will play stupid for a moment. There is no vision showing what to do for the green ending. So, what Shepard can do, and as you say, add a couple drops of blood, or how about a few strands of hair, for those who have a Shepard with hair. How about skin flakes? The thing says add your energy to the crucible. Wouldn't blood, hair and skin flakes count? As I say, my Shepard would play stupid if she were ever to choose the green

Not far from hitting Rannoch in my current play through, but from my past one a few weeks ago I remember it at least being enough of a weak spot for the fleets at the end of the game to be told to aim all shots. Only defence I can give bioware is the fact you had to aim on the earlier one for the fleet, can at least say targeting was an issue throughout the game as edi had to guide the missile. But surely ships would have manual aim for if automated systems fail and they are not exactly small targets. Just found it immersion breaking there seemed to be very little tactics involved from the current cycles forces.

Well if that's true makes that ending utter bs. Makes destroy now the default ending in my opinion which is a shame as I actually like edi other than the sex bot appearance and the geth. Hopefully in a decade or so they will remaster the series and iron the conflicts that exist in the lore, and hopefully make the renegade and and paragon path into separate stories from an Alliance/Cerberus side as for me that's the biggest missed opportunity

Looking at the trailers for Andromeda, it sure looks like basically everyone going (or at least the members of the pathfinder teams) are going to have extensive cybernetic enhancements. In fact, doesn't the codex say that cybernetics are not that uncommon at all?

Also, I never quite got how the galaxy is any more ready now than they were at any time before. I mean, it's not like synthetics and organics exactly like each other (especially if you didn't make peace between the geth and the quarians). And even if they didn't mind, what about all the pre-spaceflight species that are going to be changed? How is it not forcing that change on them? Is it just because Shepard has a lot of cybernetic components and gets "dispersed"? I'd say it's more than a bit of a hand wave, I call it complete and utter BS.

We never got a Batarian squadmate... it would've created some interesting moments and then we could've have had a 'revelation' that not all of them are fullblown a-holes and vice versa.

Given the relentlessly increasing casualty list as you progress in Mass Effect 3  I was fully expecting to have Sean Bean assigned to the Normandy.  If only.

Hence why I say that splitting the final instalment into a Cerberus path or an alliance path would of been amazing. Could have party members who refuse to join you and have to be put down as they stand in the way of the goals either had. Kai Leng as the Cerberus team mate as I think him and renegade shep could of had an awesome bromance of sorts, even a loyalty mission of killing anderson/ Hackett. So many missed stories like thessia, virmire survivor replacing shepards role if you go Cerberus, and having to live with killing a former friend for the greater good you believe you are doing.

I think they'd have had to take Cerberus in a very different direction in ME3 to make that work. Otherwise, well...would you want to play Shepard as helping to abduct teenagers from Grissom Academy, murder civilians in a Citadel coup attempt, and feed refugees into husk generators at Sanctuary?
