 From what I've heard Udina will be councilor regardless of your choice. So does it matter at all who you choose because it seems to me that it doesn't. If it turns out to be that way i'll be disappointed, this was one of the most important choices of ME1 IMO.

Hopefully it does matter. In the books Anderson is an advisor, and he ends up being fired, or he retires, something like that. If he was chosen to be the Councilor in the game, there will hopefully be a different outcome.

He quits before anyone can get around to firing him.  Also, it's only in Retribution where he's an advisor (technically, ambassador).

I hope the fact I got back my spectre status because I choose Anderson will at least mean something. It seem that's the difference Shepard gets from this choice.

Most likely, that is one of the choices that will not matter much. It is generally accepted that Anderson Resigns his post during the events of Retribution, regardless of previous councilor status.

Some dialogue may change to fill in the non-book-readers, but as far as story-line, it is not likely to matter a whole lot. My guess is that they had to save money on the production and keep the divergent story-lines limited.

Anderson might make it easier to get other Allies on side than having Udina would.

Actually, it only matters if you killed the Council.  If you saved them, you can still get your Spectre status even if you chose Udina.  It's only when the old Council is dead and he's on the new one where he can exercise enough control to prevent that happening.

It's necessary to ensure continuity. Some things have to be linear. This is one of them.

Plus it just works better for the story if Anderson is back in the field. He had a decent term of about 3 years so maybe something good comes of it.

But does he only resign if he is the adviser, and not the councillor? Perhaps if Anderson is Councillor, he simply doesn't quit in ME: Retribution, but everything else happens exactly the same.

I'd like to see Anderson as Councilor resulting in little change, Udina had to spend his short time in the role fixing all the political ****storms that Anderson conjured up by leaving the role. Udina would create a stronger political force behind the Alliance and more respect, despite being a "politican" at heart.

[Homebound]

the only choice that matters is if you pick Anderson.

[Adugan]

I bet there will be some big choice in ME3 where Udina votes one way and Anderson votes the other.

[WOLF_00]

I don't think this choice will be valid because of Anderson stepping down of his position on citedal. But what are implication of Anderson leaving the Councilor position empty? Assuming Udina lose it for an alien like Turions for instance

No, because humanity has the Council seat.  It doesn't belong to any one human, nor can it ever belong to a non-human.  It would never go to a turian because then the turians would have two votes.  The Council does not work that way.  And for another species to get a seat, they'd have to expand the Council again, so that it had 5 member species instead of 4.  In any case, speculation is pointless because we already know that Udina is the Councilor, period.

But what will happen if you choose all Council members to be humans in ME1. I recall there is an option to form a council of one species, human members only. Could Udina find himself as chairman in this case? 

[onelifecrisis]

Oh look, another "big decision" that ends up making no difference at all. What a shock.

[WOLF_00]

Hahahahaha XD

How many decisions have end up as Junk mail in Shep inbox in ME2? My Guess, 99.99%

We already know what happened: Udina's nifty "all-human Council" idea didn't pan out. And that's all it was: Udina spouting off. The game ends right after that conversation, so the "all-human Council" never existed.

[WOLF_00]

I have't noticed that before. I thought it is cool option, for anti-alien Shep

I agree, some things have to be linear, but what is the point of giving us an important choice like this one if it won't mean anything. I hope that even if Anderson steps down, that whatever choice was made is worth something. I didn't like the fact that in ME2 my choices meant nothing at all except for some extra dialogue. 

[capn233]

If you chose Udina it will be impossible to beat ME3.
