Nexus Leadership vs Citadel Council

I like the Nexus leadership more as characters, because I feel like they've been fleshed out better than the Council in the MET. However, the Council are much more competent and capable leaders. Although that is to be expected considering the original Nexus leaders were wiped out on the first day.

Addison is original Nexus leader. She was supposed to oversee colonization right from the start.

I didn't put a vote in, would have preferred a both are rubbish for different reasons option.

The Nexus leadership is not great, but it does have some worth. Kesh is good at her job, does a decent job advocating for Krogans, is mostly level-headed (apart from getting a bit pissy if you do stuff like save Raeka). Kandros is also decent at his job, but his job is running a militia and overseeing security in a place that had massive security problems before he showed up (hence why there are saboteurs and guys playing all sides running around all over the place). Also, with the whole backstory for him being in a comic which I don't think has come out yet, involving him infiltrating the AI, his trustworthyness is kind of up in the air. They're OK for their departments but don't deserve to have any more authority.

Then there are the two useless incompetents, Addison and Tann. Tann tries to play politician but he's so transparent that I don't see him accomplishing anything unless Ryder goes along with him (like choosing his suggestion for interim ambassador). Also his Krogan hate clearly caused a bunch of problems which could have easily been avoided. Addison seems like such a negative downer that I'm convinced the only way any colonial affairs get dealt with is because of sub-ordinates like Vladimir or even Spender the scumbag.

Back in the Milky Way, the Council are a bunch of idiots who take turns either frowning and finger-wagging at anything people do that is of any benefit or just standing by doing nothing at all. Hell, half the on-going grudges of the galaxy are due to stupidity on the part of previous Council decisions (not necessarily the current Council members). They are so incompetent that during ME3 Udina thinks working with Cerberus is a good idea after all the stuff Cerberus has done in ME3 alone, and the best idea Shepard and Hackett have for dealing with them is to *not* deal with them and go direct to the actual governments of the species.

They're all idiots and should be eaten.

Good questions! Though we all can guess in which direction BioWare will take things, that scenario makes for interesting consideration.

I'd think that the Nexus would choose to maintain exclusive possession of the "last discovered world", if the angara took a hard stance. The angara couldn't really afford to fight the Nexus for it, since the kett are still eye-balling them. I'd think that the Nexus would keep an open channel, so to speak, until the angara were ready to "be more reasonable". "Fight along side us, or face the kett alone," would be the situation; and none of it the Nexus' doing.
