Maybe this is because I played me2 first, but I liked working with Cerberus more than working with the Alliance. The council held you back and didn't beleive you even when you had evidence to suggest that they should, TIM comes right out and says "the reapers are back, we need to stop them" no BS involved, just calculated risks and challenged for shep. Just like Shepard said in me1 I beleive "the council can kiss my ass!" I do wish the vs survivr could have been persusded to join you though cuz that'd be amazing.
If they had made up a new organization to whisk Shepard away into, instead of Cerberus, I would have felt more like this, but I can't excuse the people who tortured Toombs and killed Kahoku, or what happened on Pragia, much less the many other things they did offscreen and in the books.
I can understand someone like Miranda choosing to make excuses for Cerberus, because they did so much for her, and saved her and her sister, but Shepard doesn't have this past with TIM. The Systems Alliance and Citadel Council may be incompetent, but they don't use children for horrible experiments, or attempt to bomb the Migrant Fleet, or inject people with Reaper tech just to see what will happen.
Or at least, I hope not...I think the "Cerberus is still a part of the Alliance" theory has legs.
