You are making assumptions about the extent of the Catalyst'sabilities which cannot unfortunately be substantiated by anything in game
I see. Just because he has the power to command a massive army of hyper-advanced machines a hundred thousand light years away doesn't mean he has the power to hit the "On" switch to the relay built into the device he's literally a part of.
That makes sense.

Dafuq? Why?! Because of Subastris?
To be fair, I can't think of a single volus from ME 1 or 2 that was what I'd call "good". They were pretty much universally douchebags until 3.

I ran into green too, but it wasn't on purpose. Right after starbrat I felt as if someone had managed to weaponize stupidity and they had blown up a thermonuclear-sized bomb of it in my face. I was dazed and incoherent as one might expect. I stumbled around blindly hoping to find something that didn't radiate idiocy. I did not find such a thing.
Just wanted to quote this because I thought it was hilarious.
But nobody ever commented on "makes about as much sense as using a cactus to practice fellatio." I was hurt.

I consider a situation where Shepard never got up from the floor in Vancouver HQ very interesting. That would mean the whole game is just a hallucination. Why would only Shepard and Anderson survive the blast?
Because they weren't directly hit by the beam like the committee was? Having the entire game be null and void is an incredibly bad idea. Arguably worse than the literalist interpretation. All of the emotional rollercoaster with the genophage and the geth, just taken away? I bet the fans of new characters like Cortez and Traynor will be pleased to find out
they never ****ing even existed.
No. That's an incredibly retarded idea. I'm not sure I could come up with a worse idea if I tried.

OK. I was confused by the fact that Anderson explicitly addresses that if you played the Arrival. So what "sh*t" is he talking about?
Hell if I know.
I thought maybe he was referring to working with Cerberus, since they're a terrorist organization, but I mean, you didnt technically do anything illegal while working for them, and even if you had, you were in the Terminus Systems, where Council Law doesnt apply.
So the **** you've done is basically stop evil aliens who were abducting and killing tens of thousands of colonists.
You horrible monster.
Pretty much. This isn't Dragon Age, they at least
try to respect players choices. But it's pretty clear that Arrival is generally considered canon for story purposes. Even Vega's introduction to the story was about him snapping a TV in half while some asswipe batarian news anchor was ranting about what a terrorist monster Shepard is after the Bahak system went bye-bye.

I'm okay with the the citadel conversation, maybe even the majority of the London mission being a dream via indoctrination however there is no greater shame in the writing world than resorting to "and then I woke up"
How about "and now, to start on my next Sword of Truth novel"?
Oh, and while you guys are talking about ventkid, don't forget to mention the warning label next to the vent. A bolt hitting someone in the head. A very odd warning label
found nowhere else in the game. It's unique to that scene, where it makes no sense whatsoever. Except as a subtle dev-to-player hint.
