I don't get it. During the discussion, the Council would've preferred a credible source for verification of the existence of the Reapers, but when you bring the next best possible source to them, Legion (after Saren or a holo-Sovereign/Harbinger), they completely disregard him. I waited ages to visit the Citadel so I could first recruit Legion for that very reason.......and it was for nothing.
This was a dumb move. Is it because they view Legion as just another silly, gullible geth that was easily influenced by Saren's "charisma"?
Legion meeting the Council - fail?

Because it wouldn't be appropriate for bringing a certain character along to considerably alter the storyline?

Yeah, it was kind of silly when Legion said that Sovereign wasn't geth technology and they wouldn't believe it/him.
I doubt that the geth would've been influenced by Saren's charisma. The only reason they didn't kill him was because he played up to being the prophet of their gods.
At the end of the day, the Council are in denial because they're scared. It's easier to attribute Sovereign to the geth - something the Council has a handle on. Also it could've been a pride thing. The Council wasn't about to believe the word of a synthetic.

What was said above; and besides, I don't think you can get Legion that early without editing the game... Right?

No edit is needed; can be done legitimately. Just don't go up to the Presidium to talk with Anderson/Council until after you've got Legion. I did this in my playthrough where I let my Cerberus crew die so that I could bring Legion on Tali's loyalty missions in addition to others. A set amont of missions have to play after Horizon in order to trigger the Reaper corpse mision.

If you think the legion one is bad, how about the mind link Liara could have done with the asari who could have shared it with everyone else on the council? Talk about gaping plotholes that are just too horrific to even let buzz around in my brain, there's the biggest one. It might not have changed a lot of the storyline. But they would have had at least given some due credit to Shepard and they could have set up defenses, and it would have all gone the same because we all know that no matter how they prepared, they really would never be ready, but at least they wouldn't be tools. Then they could have chosen to ignore the collectors on the fact that they saw no link, it was the terminus systems and they had to devote resources to fighting reapers. That would have made it look much better, but someone didn't spend enough time thinking it through. Heck, I would have agreed with that outcome. And they could have also responded the same way to shepard working with cerberus with a sidebar of 'if you feel this is going to help, then do it but get it done fast and cut your ties with cerberus asap. We don't have the resources to commit to this but we have have learned to put enough faith in your judgement.' Anything like that would have made it work even better. And it would have shown that even when you begin preparing for reaper invasion years before they come, reapers are still far too powerful for you to survive.
Personally, I think that the whole thing would have still worked because they could have refused to let shep go to ilos on the grounds it could trigger a war. And it could have made them look less like tools. It could wouldn't have changed the outcome, though the final outcome of ME3 definitely could use change.

From what I've read, any edit that gets you legion that early bypasses collector attact, collector ship and possibly the IFF.
The way they designed the game, aquirement of certain characters triggers collector attact at horizon. Then I think it's a set number of objectives done that triggers collector ships because I've often waited to get tali and have already done the ship but had all the other crew and and even one or two loyalty missions done when it's collector ship time. So there's some number of missions written into the code that triggers it. There must also be some kind of ticking clock after the IFF or number of missions that's small. I'm guessing with all that in the game code, there's probably a reason early aquirement of legion causes other missions to be 'lost' since the come probably presumes they've been done. IFF is basically one of the last things and always has to come after collector ship and horizon as each build on the next.
