1. Worst Boss Fight in the Series. This is especially disappointing if you played ME2 (Gunships are downed all the time) and LotSB (some of the best boss fights in the series). Shep just does down in a stupid cut scene duel that makes no sense.

2. I can not choose how Shepherd responds to Fall of Thessia, he just goes into a mental breakdown that just makes no sense. He was perfectly fine with the destruction going on the Turian Homeworld, but when it comes to Thessia, Watch out!

3. No content for Thessia besides that one mission. Lots of wasted potential.

Anyway, as for Liara's reaction/"attitude", it's very understandable from her point of view. The problem that comes up is that (assuming you have your full squad + Javik), you have

Shepard/Vega/VS (Earth already attacked and ruined)
Garrus (Palaven attacked and ruined, family MIA)
Javik (Entire race wiped out)

Then throw in Tali (Quarians have a pretty nasty history of almost dying out, both in the Morning War and against the Geth [casualties even if you get peace])...and you've got a lot of people who've already lost their worlds, possibly everything they have.

Liara's not at all wrong at being upset, it just comes so late in the game that I felt "yeah, welcome to our world" a bit.


Agreed.  Garrus, Tali, Kaidan, and Adams are all concerned for Liara, worried about her well being; and then Liara goes and starts crap with Javik because he's the only one who won't coddle her?  What does she expect from him?  Everyone on the ship is going through all sorts of pain because of the Reapers .

I don't blame her for being upset and I'm not a Liara-hater, but that just rubbed me the wrong way.


...Yeah. If she had confronted whoever the other squadmate on Thessia was, as opposed to targeting Javik, it would've made an iota of more sense. Kudos to Javik though, he only backs down after Shepard annoys him enough to say something to make Liara back down. Not that he ever meant anything real by it.

JAVIK WHY U COST AS MUCH AS LotSB??

He was hurt by Thessia, because it was all on him. He was the one that was defeated by Kai Leng, He couldn't have saved the Turians, but he could have at least made the Asari's sacrifice meant something, especially considering how they gave him such critical information at just the right time.

It was okay but it felt rushed to me, Kai Leng certainly didn't help either.

Geth Consensus was still far worse.

Everything else with P:Thessia was great, but yep, what brought it down was the the lame boss fight with Kai Leng. I read the Retribution novel and had this really badass image of him, but was pretty disappointed by his Reaperified appearance, and cheap fighting tactics.

"Cover me while I reload", ugh... the Shadow Broker had more fight than him.

HAHAHA!

Oh you were serious. Let me laugh harder.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAAHHAHAHAAHHAAHA!!!!

As much as I do actually like Shepard's semi-breakdown after Thessia (I do it more because of the mounting pressure ant this is the straw that nearly breaks the camel's back), the Asari did it to themselves.

If they hadn't been so concerned with their dominance and ego and actually given up the information when the war started, theyd've saved themselves a ****ton of trouble. Thessia would still have been blasted, but that was critical information that could have made the Crucible ready much sooner.

Extremely short, no side-missions, and Kai Leng.

Because Kai Leng's "win" was cheap.

Actually it's "Cover me while I recharge!" and I personally think it makes him that much greater a villain. He's imposing his dominance on Shepard by showing the commander he has no chance of winning the fight.

Awfully designed fight with Kai Leng isn't enough?

That fight was amazing, actually. There Leng is, the only thing standing in the way of stopping the Reapers once and for all. But, for all Shepard's might, he isn't good enough to stop Kai from grabbing the intel. It gives the player undeniable respect for Kai Leng and establishes him as a tremendous threat. After that fight, I was seriously doubting whether or not I could defeat him.


LOL!

He is making a fool of himself. Like he isn't enough of a clown already. 
He is rubbing his plot armor in Shepard's face, that's what he's doing.

She's one of the only people on this thread with taste actually. Go cry some more about how your Shepard couldn't handle Kai Leng and Thessia fell because of it. That mission has all the right elements to get the player fired up for the final push.

I had two other problems with the mission.

First, the over-the-top lines like "When we get this artifact we can all wake up" after Liara asks if the nightmare will ever be over. Hey, way to not make it completely obvious that Shepard and company are all (foolishly) assuming victory.

Second, it leads to that all-hands meeting where Traynor (who I normally like) manages to trace Kai Leng to Sanctuary. Yes, I get it's necessary for the plot to proceed, but my reaction is always "you did, did you *raised eyebrow*" when that comes up.

I don't remember saying my issue with it is that Shepard was defeated by Kai Leng. Can you teach me to read minds?

Yeah yeah I'm a troll because I love the game. Same old story. You can't back up your baseless arguments so you resort to name calling. I'm stating facts here.
