To add to that. Tali and Garrus don't trust Cerberus either yet they both say "I am here for you" . The whole point being that the pre conceptions between two factions shouldn't be enough for the VS to lose sight of what the issue is.
Funny thing is that it could have been saved by a simple line "sorry i just got surprised to see you with Cerberus.. and Shepard i really would like to come with you but i have obligations with the alliance".

But you see, if we were discussing physics, I would respect the views of a physicist who had dedicated their life to studying that field, and I would believe they could lend credence on what theories/views were most accurate to the real objective state of things
Seeing as literary standards are not real or objective, then those educated people have devoted their lives to justifying subjective standards as though they were real or objective
Who sez physics is objective? There's people who believe Earth is 6000 years old. Go and tell them they are wrong. Lets see you convince them of your "objectivity".
Writing standards exist for a reason. They arne't as hard as physical laws, but they aren't subjective - not really.
The enjoymet of a particial piece of fiction may be subjective, but thats another matter altogehter.
Subjectivism is the last refuge of the people who have no real arguments anymore.
Last refuge of the people who have no real arguments anymore? Sounds like ad hominem to me
The point with my physics remark is that there is a measure by which you can prove a physics theory wrong or right.. by whether it accurately describes the way the world really is. People may argue over whether certain theories (such as the age of the Earth) do accurately describe the way the world really is, but we can do experiments, examine data etc. to see if it is the case
With writing standards, we have nothing like that. It is only us, not the universe, which decides what makes a good story. And an appeal to the authority of literary standards does not elevate one preference over another
And you claim that it's fully subjective is garbage. It's not. You only claim that because you disagree.
Why should I care about your measure? I renounce your physics. You will never, ever prove me wrong, because I denounce your proof. Everything you say and do is subjective. Every sound that comes out of your mouth is subjective. Every measurment you bring forth is a lie.
What youre basicly saying is that such thing as bad writing doesn't exist.
Which is the stupidest thing I ever heard.
-----------------------------------------------
To that I would say, there is no offical gauge for art. There are however standards that exist for perfectly valid reasons. Mass Effect 2 falls below the standard of good writing. Deal with it.

See, here's something we can agree on -- the VS's reaction on Horizon is... out of character from what we see in ME1, in both possible cases. That encounter should have been twice as long and five times better. There should have been a chance for it to end with the VS reluctantly telling Shep that they have to report back to Anderson and Hacket, and walking away on something like good terms. Some chance that Shep could actually have a conversation with them and convince them that Shep is still Shep, and that using Cerberus for their resources doesn't make you a tool of terrorists. Or something.

It 's the consept of focus. If you can keep you target focus on one thing, then you can control their actions and understanding. The reapers did this with the relays, mass effect tech, and the keepers. With that they made sure that we never developed a way they did not want us to. With how the reapers are now, it's backwards. We are out of their control and they are focus on making a reaper out of humanity. As long as they are focus on humanities reaper, we are free to find a way to end them. If they are finished faster with making the human reaper, then they can focus on controling us. Since they have to start over, we have more time to try and stop them. It not about stopping their first move, its about stopping furture movements.Lotion Soronnar wrote...
