Less about a particular issue, and more about things in the Mass Effect story/lore/conversations that just make you go 'wha?' Call it hypocrisy, call it a harmless contradiction, or just plain funny, put it here... after the appropriate lead in.

For example:

Isn't it ironic that Shepard can have a super high-tech warship with a unshackled AI in control, work to cure the Genophage, gather an army or Rachni, strike an Alliance with the Geth, make a partnership with an incredibly well connected and influential Asari influence broker, heavily invest in weapons tech in known markets beyond Citadel law...

...and still be incredulous as to why the Council doesn't trust him/her?

Isn't it ironic that Harbinger calls the asari weak because of their "reliance upon alien species for reproduction"... when the Reapers themselves require thousands of aliens to reproduce?

Ha!

Oh, those wacky Reapers.

It's not looting if they don't say no.

Just like rape!

Isn't it ironic that Shepard can berate Mordin for his genophage work, basically call him a monster, and then quote Mordin when confronting his student who is trying to cure the genophage?



"But the genophage only effects sterility, it doesn't actually kill." Shepard to Maelon when he says the blood of millions is on his hands.(Paraphrased)

Ironic:

It is said that Morinth is a sexual maniac / vampire, yet she prefers plain Asari commando suit and her unique power is simple mind control, while it is Samara who's got the high heels and a clevage all the way down to the bellybutton and her unique power is truly vampirical.

I think I'll like this thread, if it stays on the "irony" level and not the "let's complain some more" side (hurr isn't it ironic that ME1 had a story and ME2 didn't?). We have two other active threads for that.



So far this thread has made me laugh.

Isn't it ironic that the Turians have iron in their skin, and yet still get headbutted by Anderson?

Isn't it ironic that killing a thresher maw suddenly convinces Uvenk that Grunt is a true krogan after all the slurs about his tankbred origins?

...No? A thresher maw hasn't been killed during the Rite in nearly one thousand years. Wrex was the last to do so. He also doesn't acknowledge Grunt as a true krogan. He still derides him for being tankborn, but wants to use him as a trophy anyway.

To be fair, he hasn't allied with the Geth, found the beginning of the Genophage cure, connected with the Shadow Broker or unshackled the AI when he speaks with the Council.  And for all he knows the Rachni walked off into the Noveria blizzard and froze to death.

Now, when (not if, when.  Face it, Shep; you are cursed to not be believed) he's amazed no one's listening to him in ME 3 you'll definately have a point.

Ah, the interwebs.  All the derp that's fit to hurr!

I just thought of a potential one:

Isn't it ironic that in stopping Kolyat that Shepard's saving a politician who's campaign probably includes revoking his/her Spectre status?

[MisterDyslexo]

Isn't it ironic that the only Spectre that hasn't gone completely rogue is a fictional one (Blasto)

[chris025657]

It's a bit ironic how the writers got Shiala's original color wrong when they have Shepard notice a change in her color. I mean, you would think they would at least get the color right and have Shepard call her purple and not blue.

[Liec]

Isn't it funny that the asari, the most sexually attractive aliens, made first contact with the salarians, who have no sex drives?

[AresXX7]

Isn't it ironic that the Council will still offer Spectre reinstatement to someone they consider to be delusional ?

My bad, but the sheer hypocrisy still stands. In spirit!

Isn’t it ironic that Shepard blows up the derelict Reaper while his job is to learn more about the Reapers and to prepare any possible ways to fight them?

Yeah remember how Joker wants Shepard to take pictures of Miranda & Jack fighting, yet when there's a giant space monster's corpse outside, and Shepard's going inside of it, he's like "Meh. Seen it before"

Legion is a robot. Yet gets revived by the medigel just like anybody else.

[MisterDyslexo]

Isn't it ironic that while the game prides itself on doing an action for different motives, and presents them (Ex: I'm going to shoot you because; You're evil, You're in my way, You're ugly), most of them are usually labeled into one category (Ex: Legion's loyalty mission)

....or that a soldier "finds" their weapons on random counter tops.
