I guess I see your point, and it would be a fair parallel between the final battle and the suicide mission. Upgrading all of your characters, gaining their loyalty and upgrading all the primary components of the Normandy affect who lives and dies in the end. That principle could have been expanded to the entire…

Agreed on all counts.

I'm assuming that a proper sequel would take place way way later, like after the bit that you see after the credits, otherwise it wouldn't make much sense.

I wonder if that was just XBox specific. That never happened to me on my PS3, but maybe that was before the various patches and updates applied since then.

I was able to get my femShep to charm her way through pretty much everything, which was pretty satisfying. I would've been kind of pissed to suddenly lose loyalty in the Legion v. Tali standoff. Curing the genophage was probably one of the most satisfying though, because going through all the discussion trees with…

The rachni don't just magically reappear. If you didn't save the queen in part 1, the reapers construct an artificial one that will destroy some of your engineering corp if you save it. Maybe I'm alone here, but it wasn't just about the end result for me. Since I saved the queen originally, I came across an asari that…

I was disappointed by the lack of working elevators in the game as well, but that was only part of the oversimplification of the environment. The Citadel became significantly smaller in the sequels, and became positively tiny by the third game. ME1 had such a huge environment. I could cross from one side of the…

The Mako was the greatest thing ever. I would zigzag and run through those Geth armatures and hop over their blasts and it was all good fun.

Funny thing is that this is actually referenced later. I can't remember what point it is, but Garrus recounts the banter they used to have on the elevator.

That sounds like a prayer...

Unless you're a heathen like me.

I like the natural look.

I suspect a lot of people would say this because of the negative association they have with Kim in the first place. I think she's pretty attractive, though even if I could, I would not go anywhere near her lol.

I don't think that's really the case. Iron Man 3 would be made regardless of how weak 2 was, because the first movie remains a big hit, and the Avengers, which puts a great deal of focus on Tony Stark, is an even bigger hit.

Ah, orthodoxy, doing jack shit for no one since the beginning of time.

This whole designated area thing seems like horse shit too though. There's no use for it, and nothing good ever really comes from creating that kind of division.

I find destroy to be the least of them in terms of vagueness, because regardless of everything else, the reapers and their corrupted forces are pretty much gone. On top of that, it seems like the mass relays are repaired without them anyway, given that it shows the main characters back on their respective worlds.

Man, that is golden.

Gonna have to go with this one right here.

YES. A CG animated series or film would work a lot better. It allows you to design every single character exactly as you want, and there would be absolutely no lines between the realism of the human characters and the other aliens.
