Things that don't make sense (v2)

While we're on the subject of Miranda, here's another conversation that maybe should have happened there.

Shepard: So... Eluding Cerberus hit squads huh? (Nods slowly)

Miranda: Yep. (Sighs loudly) Some of the best trained killers in the galaxy. It's exhausting.

Shepard: Really putting that genetically engineered intelligence to the test huh?

Miranda: Testing it to the limits.

Shepard: Uh huh. Did that genetically engineered intelligence help you decide that it was a good idea to wait for me out in the open in a Citadel docking bay?

Miranda: Um...

Shepard: Traveled by hundreds of people a day?

Miranda: Well... I...

Shepard: Random people.

Miranda: That's um...

Shepard: it's okay though. Clandestine as Cerberus has been lately, I'm sure they wouldn't try to kill you in such a public place. And I'm sure, highly trained as they are they probably wouldn't know several ways to sneak a weapon through the scanners. And I'm sure they wouldn't be proficient in multiple methods of unarmed assassination.

Miranda: (Silence)

You can't kill Thorian creepers until they stand up to attack. When hunched down they're immune to being shot.

The opening text of ME3 states that the Reapers "are responsible for cleansing the galaxy of all organic life every 50,000 years". All organic life? So we have evolved from amoeba to homo sapiens in less than 50,000 years? Come on Bioware, really?

I think that's what I was trying to say. Not only defies it common sense, the game doesn't even understand its own story.

ME1: we tell the Council that Saren is a twat (without a trace of evidence) and we're angry because they don't believe us. Later we have some short audio file and the Council accepts that as irrefutable proof to outlaw Saren.

That's an interesting point, but the councillors weren't there, they only know about it from our report. I don't know, have we provided any evidence that the dock worker actually said that name? Do we have recordings? And even if we did, how could we prove that Anderson didn't tell him that name before? How do they know Anderson didn't just use the opportunity to get his revenge on Saren? Saren is one of their top agents, no one on the Normandy is in a comparable position, why should they drop him without very hard proof?

What I find odd is no one mentions the large ship that is seen on Eden Prime. I'm sure everyone would say its a geth ship. At least do some checking to find out if a ship like that has been spotted in the galaxy. It wouldn't hurt. Also mention how many ships leave a large area that looks like its been hit by a bomb.

Yeah, I get it.  Doesn't help that I dislike the Council in general.  If I weren't a mostly Paragon player I'd let them die every time.

They do. That's why I find it odd that the ship is never mentioned.

The fact that it's a ship, even an unknown ship, doesn't mean too much. At this point, no one (not even Shepard) knows the ship is a Reaper. It's just seen as a ship.

The fact that the dockworker is disbelieved makes sense to me: Politicians will often put their heads in the sand, especially for things they don't like. If you consider the fact that humans are galactic newbies (and that both turians and asari are highly distrustful of them), it makes sense that they would view things on a racial lens: Turian over human.

One thing that has always bothered me about the series: Why does NO ONE call out the asari for all their crap?
