Does anybody else recall that scene from ME2 in the Omega plague area where Shepard wanders into the apartment of a dead Turian and finds two human looters?  She proceeds to berate them about how wrong it is to steal from the dead and makes them promise to stop. 

I always thought this scene was absolutely hilarious because of what an enormous hypocrite Shepard is.  I mean, my Shepard loots the hell out of pretty much every place she goes (and I imagine that is true of most people's Shepards).  Hell, not ten minutes prior to encountering these two ne'er-do-wells, my Shepard had busted into more than one locked apartment and grabbed anything that wasn't nailed down to the floor.  And yet she has the nerve to call these two guys out for their actions?

Hypocrisy, thy name is Shepard.

This point is so obvious that I can only assume the writers were using irony to shine a light on Shepard's tragic and constant struggle with her kleptomaniacal urges.  Well played, Bioware.  Well played.  :P


My Shepard just pointed out that those guys still had to live in the neighbourhood afterwards, and if they'd been seen looting during the plague it could get awkward.

However Shepard has a spaceship and a couple of burly well armed sidekicks, so she doesn't worry about being seen making off with other peoples' stuff.

It's even worse when you start looting at abducted colonies. On Horizon there are people in stasis a couple feet away from you and yet you can hack their laptops lol.

And as we saw in the earlier cutscene, they retain awareness of their surroundings. (Lilith was looking around after being bitten.)

Imagine their thoughts!

Oh god thank you Human soldiers! Wait, wtf? Get out of my safe ****! Hey! put that down! what a day...'

Wrex: Shepard, where are you? We're running out of time!

Shepard: Hang on! I have to loot the **** out of everything first.

Shep doesn't like competition in looting.

Except when it's Kasumi. <3

Well...to be fair the hypocrite will be us as the player, not Shepard. We could choose not to loot if we don't want to, well...at least for that particular scene.

Heh, I still remember Kasumi/Tali hollering at me from inside the vents on the SM while I scoured the area for thermal clips and medigel. Even Legion gets a little frantic.
