I believe earth is just one of hundredth of human worlds, no?

Eath has 11 bilion inhibitants. Terra Nova and Eden Prime - two largest humans colonies - combines have about 10 to 15 milion. So, yeah it is logical that he cares about place where vast majority of humanity lives and without which humanity will be as strong as drell.

I'm human...Shepard is human....It's Shepard's story, not Garrus, Tali or Liara. If it was, then we could focus of their planets that are being destroyed. I don't see how focusing on any planet would delay it. It would've been made in the same amount of time.

Since someone’s bound to trot out the argument again, let me say pre-emptively:

It doesn’t matter how well you can argue that Shepard should care about Earth. You can come up with the best reasons ever for anything, and it still doesn’t matter.

Your Shepard can care. Mine might not. Don’t try to force your Shepard on everybody else.

Yet this is EXACTLY what Bioware did to the players.

Im crossing my fingers for ME3 retcon.

I do agree and it would have been easy to fix if at the start of the game you wandered around and fell in love with it.

I think this still will be wrong. Game can not tell player "you fell in love with it". This is "assuming direct control" over player, and feels aggravating if you don't agree.
It could ask "did you fall in love with it?", and if you answer positively - its ok, otherwise avoid "earth romance" voice lines.

The problem with Earth in Mass Effect 3 is pretty simple in my mind;

The writers want us to care about Earth. Okay, sure.

They fail to make us care. Oh, crap.

We're supposed to care about Earth because... it's Earth. We like Earth, right? It's our home. It's our planet.

Except it's not. I care more about the Citadel than Earth in Mass Effect. Yeah, that's the key. "In Mass Effect".

Landing on Luna in Mass Effect 1 and looking up at Earth gave me a sense of awe and wonder, but we never really go to Earth. We don't know all that much about it. We don't connect to the people of Earth, to the locations, to the relevance it has...

To the players, Earth is just... Eh, something over there, who cares, SAVE THE HOT ASARI BABES INSTEAD!

We love the planet Earth, in real life. That does not translate to loving the planet Earth in Mass Effect, because it's not the same planet.

They really should have opened the game with Shepard's trial on Earth, walking around, talking to people, maybe have your first combat mission fighting off batarians who try to kill Shepard illegally because they don't believe the Hegemony will make the Alliance give Shepard up for execution.

Damn it, you can't just tell us (haha, get it? Tellus?) that we should care about Earth. You have to make us hurt when we see it burn.
