I think it's fantastic, but not a lot of people want hard choices.

OP basically seems to be saying "I'm angry because I made the wrong choices".

All of this of course is reliant on Bioware being able to write Shepard as rather skillful Chessmaster/ Magnificent Bastard- Which I seriously doubt Bioware has the writing talent to do..

Which yet again boils down to the disparity of priorities and abilities of the separate writing skills and utter lack of an editor overseeing the overall work. In ME2 Shepard could be quite the Magnificent Bastard in the Migrant Fleet section with a fun touch of A Father To His Men (if we're moving entirely into troper-speak), but quite a dolt when handling Jack (your choices boil down to Jerk With a Heart of Jerk, Jerk With a Heart of Gold or Knight In Sour Armor swapping his armor for Shining every now and again, although some of them pick-up lines were amazing) and so on.

I mean, they could at least try to maintain a more or less coherent manner of speech for Sheppy Shep, because some of the issues border on Fallout 2's level of character dispersal, where you could see where one writer's territory ended and another began just by the amount of profanity that was offered as dialogue choices.

Also, that only happens if you have been indecisive about paragon and renegade or about the Geth and the Quarians throughout the series.

The problem here is that they touted that in ME3 it won't matter if you preferred Para or Rene, as they count together for most checks (except a few that only check one, like pulling Cortez out of his depression). The only reason you could earn an insufficient amount of Rep to pass the Quarian/Geth check would be if you skipped all the sidequests up until then.

I think it's fantastic, but not a lot of people want hard choices.

I liked the hard choices, and I loved all the three resolutions. What I dislike is how badly thought-out the gateway that separates them was.

I wish Bioware didn't end all stories with "this or that person has to die". There must be other ways of resolving an emotional conflict. If they'd shown Javik, for example, killing himself after seeing the reapers fall, THAT would have made for an emotionally satisfying and context appropriate conclusion to his story arc. In Tali's case? There are dozens of other ways she could have resolved her conflict, for example by attacking Legion before he uploaded the data, or pointing a gun at Shepard and forcing him to back down, or promising an alliance with the geth while secretly radioing to the fleets for quarian soldiers to take out this rogue geth.

Actually peace between them should have been impossible. There's just too much bad blood between them.

Geth bleed? Shouldn't the expression be something cheesy like there's too much latency between them?

But only if he used the memory shard. Otherwise, I'm quite content with the idea of him writing that book with Liara.

Look no further than "Serenity". The Operative's final fate is... well, exactly the example you're looking for.

Which is truely ME 2 did show Shepard having  quite the ability to get things in place  for his favor especailly  durning Tali Mission.  Jack and the how they handled Shepard interacting with was one of the my biggest complaints about ME 2.

But if you make all the right moves from ME2 to ME3, you can save both ... for a short time.
