To conclude, no opinion change (unless you percieve the strengthening of the original views for one). In this 9 page thread no radical pro/anti paradigm shift occured after reading the novel.

My question to fellow ME fans is whether their attitude towards TIM and/or the organisation as a whole has changed.

Also, would you still save or destroy the Collector Base AFTER knowing all the new facts about the backfiring reaper technology is pointed out as a great threat.

To clarify, I am not talking about roleplaying, I am talking about the most rational choice there is.

***SPOLIERS OF THE NOVEL BELOW***

Personally, I am still sceptical when it comes to the dangers of integrating technology of a reaper constructing base (not only indoctrinating but functioning as a trap) under the supervision of TIM. The project of Retribution backfired, revealing some of the most classified on Alliance to the Reapers because of a single experiment. A Cerberus cell working on something of Collector base proportions is not a risk I am willing to take.



i worry more about what mass effect 3 will be like. i thought me2 was pretty cheesy..

Didn't change my view of Cerberus at all.  Kill it with fire.

Cerberus may not be "all bad", after all they did bring back Shepard and they built a new Normandy (even if their method of getting the Normandy plans are questionable). The crew of the Normandy SR-2, namely Jacob, Kelly, Kenneth and Gabby (even Joker and Dr. Chakwas if you want to get into it) also show that Cerberus isn't purely filled with nutjobs. I might even agree that some of their experiments aren't entirely bad ideas, for instance their teams that design new weapons and armor. The problem I have with Cerberus is largely the Illusive Man and his "at all costs" attitude.

Cerberus is not inherently evil - the Illusive Man however, is. He is a reckless liar and cannot be trusted on anything.

Edited to add: This was largely my opinion prior to reading the book, however it has been strengthened since.

The novel confirmed for me that Cerberus is best.



And that Kai Leng should be a squad member.

I'm disappointed that they didn't respond to my last post, /sigh at all that pointless 'effort!'
