Invasion of sentient starships bent on ending organic life in the galaxy isn't "the right reason"? 
Prove it.
Without resorting to "dream interpretation" or circumstantial evidence. Regardless, there is no clear connection between the Collectors and the Reapers UNTIL Horizon. So, what, Shepard was just taking it on faith up until that point?
Umm, the VS
believed in Shepard's visions in ME1. Kinda the basis of their whole trip to Ilos. The VS is one of the 5-7 people (depending on who's alive) to know the whole story and aren't Cerberus. The others being Anderson, Liara, Garrus, Tali, Shiala, and Wrex. Proof should no longer be an issue, unless you're saying they're buying into the whole "Ah, yes, 'Reapers'" mentality of the Council
Shepard being so easy to trust TIM is an issue. I'm not happy with that at all. But that does not alter the fact that Shepard (a paragon Shepard, anyway) has no intention of betraying the Alliance, and is in fact focusing on a threat that could very easily destroy the ALliance, as well as everyone else.
And regardless, if you want to join Cerberus because you think you have to, fine. You do that. But don't expect the rest of the galaxy to just shrug and say "I'm sure Shepard knows what she's doing". Nope. You still gotta pay the piper.
And that's fine. We're not talking about the Alliance as a whole. We are talking about one Alliance soldier. Only one. The one who should know Shepard better than to think he'd go down that slippery slope without one frakking good reason.
And Shepard seems to have forgotten that she is expected to be held accountable for her decisions, that she doesn't automatically get a free pass to do whatever she wants. If she wants to work with terrorists, she'd better be prepared for the inevitable backlash. And by backlash, I mean mild rebuke from the VS. Thin-skinned much, Shepard? <_<
Questioning a soldier's loyalty and accusing them of betrayal is not a "mild rebuke". Trust me.
And a paragon Shepard is willing to face the consequences for his decisions. Killing 300k batarians cannot go without comment, even if Shep had no choice. He said he'll face the music when the time comes.
On a somewhat related not, what's the standard penalty for saving a colony? :innocent:
SImilarly, If I say "An Alliance hero allies with a terrorist organization" What kind of event am I describing?
Is that a trick question? Because it looks pretty clear to me that the Alliance hero just turned in her Alliance hero card, and traded it for a terrorist card. I guess it was her choice to do so, but I'm not going to just look the other way and shrug my shoulders.
Absolutely serious question.
What you described is what it looks like to the nameless marine who never knew Shepard. or the Shepard without an import, perhaps. But what does it look like to the VS familiar with a paragon Shepard's past? What's the context? Said hero has never shown any sympathy for Cerberus before. Quite the opposite in fact. Said Shepard has also advocated working with the Council and alien races, even saved the Destiny Ascension at great cost to humanity's fleet.
So again, what kind of event am I describing?
Or as the great RPG Planescape: Torment goes: "What can change the nature of a man?"

Retour en haut
Sorry!
That was horrible. I do not want more of that. 
Not to mention talking him down is a friendish thing to do. If my Shep couldn't stand Wrex he would've shot him.
