Asari are hardly the master race BW wants them to be. Any PC can murder them all with ease. Default Scott Ryder is ugly as fuck. Kallo should replace either Cora or Peepee as a romance. If you think default scott is "ugly as fuck" then who do you consider attractive? Im honestly curious btw Yes, yes, inquiring minds want to know. I mean, aside from Kallo.

Have I shared already that Eladeen should not have been made an own planet, but just had its quests line for krogans vs outlaws transferred to Kadara's borderlands? if I did already, apologies. 'Tis my latest armchair developer hang-up.

I haven't delved into a lot of the story criticism threads here, I can only take so much salt in one sitting after all. But based on what people are saying here. People hate Liam? Imo he's the best human male squadmate we've had, aside from Vega anyways. He's leagues beyond Jacob and ME1 Kaidan (ME3 improved Kaidan a LOT). The only issues I have with him is he becomes weirdly confrontational in some banter dialogue and he's not a romance option for male player characters. Overall I really enjoy the game, I haven't encountered too many technical issues (in single player at least, lets not talk about MP). Story was great imo and exploration/side quests were more enjoyable and rewarding than ME1 or DAI, the two other recent bioware titles that featured more open maps. I find the crew lineup to be great, Cora and Gil I'm a bit lukewarm on but they're growing on me more as I do more playthroughs. I get Liam's character, the problem is the character appears forced, there's nothing natural about his expression, it's over acted is the best way I can put it, he is the one I'm least likely to take on a mission, I found myself scolding him more than I should, fortunately that doesn't make a lot of difference to how things play out in this game.

I don't hate any of the Nexus leadership, including Addison. They're struggling to do their best under a very difficult set of circumstances.
I understand why they'd have some misgivings about young Ryder's sudden appointment as Pathfinder. Ryder needs to prove herself, and has the opportunity to do exactly that.
I think Ryder's crew is just as well done as any of Shepard's. I think that Ryder's ability to go to war with the army she has (instead of the one she might want) demonstrates a certain amount of maturity and wisdom in leadership.
While not my favorite, I think that Liam is a pretty good guy at his core. He has some strong values, even if his judgement is lacking at times.
Jaal's VA gets on my nerves - though I don't know whether that's an unpopular opinion around here. The VA really overdid the emotional drama, to the point where he feels like a really bad soap opera character at times.
Peebee is a breath of fresh air - I love her energy, and her passion for rem-tech. So is Suvi.

Well, perhaps next time we see the planets, enough years elapsed to make landscape and population and problems more diverse, or simply leave one of them out. As is, the two are too much alike.

You think Elaaden and Kadara are similar? Huh. I'm not seeing it at all. Kadara is already pretty livable, minus the sulfurous water. This is why the exiles settled it, in the first place. Elaaden, though, isn't really fit for human habitation. Those people are on a razor's edge. It needs a lot of work to become viable for human, or human-like, species. Plus there's the arid-but-teeming-with-life vs. barren desert thing. It's interesting how differently we can all view the same experience. I don't think that we need to revisit every world from MEA in a sequel. It will be important to see one at least one of them, of course. New Tuchanka boasts both krogan and everyone else; and could be used to demonstrate drastic the climate changes wrought by the vaults. I'd not be surprised if it reappears in the future, much changed.

Elaaden, though, isn't really fit for human habitation. Hmm? Saudi Arabia has it worse. That +50c hazard is laughable and nearest moon has water. Don't ask me why they didn't settle on that moon instead.

I hate Jaal and prefer Sloane to Reyes I tend to agree with this, you know where you stand with Sloan, but Reyes is a greasy sneaky character, he uses your character from the get go, I go with the response for saving Sloan "better the devil you know"

I think the Kett are more interesting than the Reapers, and that the ending is the best of any game in the series. Is that unpopular? I want to play too. Sorry but it doesn't even get close to ME1 or ME2's ending

Gil's subplot is extremely offensive and promotes unhealthy ideas about parenting. The two gay fathers thing isn't a problem, but the glorification for single parenting, parents who don't love each other, distant parents and being pressured into being a parent is seriously messed up.

A charming mysterious dude with Hawke's voice. I don't like it Ah, if he was, it sure worked. But there should have been MOAR. And, I hope, the Sloane route is satisfactory for those who did not like him, what with shooting him in the back and all. I think it was nicely done, unlike the fan service in plot armor. Obviously not as good as when you can kill them, but still, better than nothing. In a way, wrong fan service characters that you can stomp on a little are enjoyable, heh.

I don't think it's an unpopular opinion. I think it is really obvious that they went too far with this subplot. If Gil was simply pondering parenthood because his friend's, Jill's profession, made him to, and asked what Ryder thinks, it would have been an interesting char development. Having it go into the "let's do it! Right now!" Was what turned subplot cringeworthy imo. I woul have found it just as odd if it were Cora or PeeBee that suddenly grabbed M!Ryder by the sleeve with a warcry of: "I want to be a single mom, do provide!", and I really never liked it in any of the soap operas that do that subplot.

I would have loved for the planets and the Nexus to develop over time. I would have loved for my opened cryo pots to show ingame, as in more and more diverse population. I also would have loved for Bioware not sticking with their usual NPC stand at the exact same spot shtick. Bradley for instance could moonlight as a telephone booth as much as he moves during the game. That's one page out of Bethesdas book Bioware certainly should claim.

I guess I really don't see it. Kadara is a mountainous region with lakes of sulfur. Elaaden is a vast desert. I'm not clear on how they're supposed to be similar. Now, if you said Eos and Elaaden were similar you might have something since they're both vast deserts.

Now, if you said Eos and Elaaden were similar you might have something since they're both vast deserts. I guess it's more along the lines of stony desert, sandy desert and snowy desert. Apart from Meridian in the end there's not a single lush planet you can settle on. I wasn't the one bringing up the thought, but it would have been a nice addition to a least show your efforts. Such as adding a few fields to Podromos, revisiting Cora's flowers on Eos and the Initiative taking back site one and two after the radiation cleared. Minute things that show your people have been working on making their environment more hospital. If you played DAI, on the same lines as Skyhold cleaning up a little bit more while you're not there.

I'm from a place where it sometimes gets even colder than that, and if you're dressed properly it isn't going to kill you in only a few minutes.

Desert is defined as barren land with little precipitation. It's fairly broad. So you can have different types of deserts -- sand, sagebrush steppe, polar, etc.
