The geth had to have killed vast amounts of civilians.

Context developed over millions of years. The geth have three hundred and were born in a war for survival. 

Perhaps, but right now the geth lack that ability and it's debatable if the geth will ever get the ability to contextualize. I don't think they ever will (without the reaper code upgrade that is).

In any case, I suspect Legion would have made a decision had it not been under Shepard's command... and nothing is special about Legion's programs apart from absorbing information about how galactic society works (and hence developing context rather faster than our own ancestors did).

Legion is special, he said so himself in ME2. He's a special platform that can hold more programs than regular geth platforms, meaning that he doesn't need to be hooked up to the geth neural network to achieve intelligence.

It's this fact that Legion has been capable of developing traits that other geth do not have. It's because of Legion's disconnection from the network that he's capable to develop individualism and has the potential to become sapient. The other geth, due to their very nature, lack this potential.

Besides by the time I got to the end of Rannoch I was thoroughly sick of the "I WANNA BE A REAL BOY!!!" schtick the Geth and EDI got forced into for 3.

Tell me about it. They slapped this story so hard on you it becomes sickening. I really hope for their next game they will not touch this theme.

Geth are illegal. As a dutiful Council Spectre you must destroy them.

Except for the Quarians that tried to help them. Lulz, poor Geth still killed them:happy:

You might be a little biased, Tali-guy.

Me biased? No way;)

I'm pretty sure the other quarians did, actually.

The vast majority was incarcerated. I wonder what happened to them after the Quarians fled...

oh right, Geth:wizard:

Exactly. Not just that, but every council species has exterminated large numbers of AIs before. The Quarians were just unlucky.

What are the chances that someone will find a random sniper rifle just lying on the ground, eh? And then give someone time to aim it, reload it, and then fire again? It's just bad writing at that point.

Huh looks like the Council finally did something right!

The whole Morning War makes little sense.

Illegality is a convenient excuse. EDI is illegal, but Shep has no qualms letting her roam the citadel with Joker.

Yeah, perhaps one of the most idotic I've encountered is how the Alliance mechanics in charge of upgrading the Normandy SR2 were unable to identify and disable the AI.

Only because we aren't allowed to raise them.

Make love to EDI

I'm sure the VI sex dolls work just as well for the lonely individual.

Plenty of them knew, they just lied because of Joker and they liked her. I personally struck up a friendship with EDI. It was very satisfying to destroy all sythetic life then.

[KaiserShep]

And they'd be useless to bring up. I guess if we want to play the daft bastion of law and order, but given EDI's usefulness, illegality can jump in the presidium lake.

Much to my annoyance.

"Get that thing off my ship."
"I'm just here to fight cyberwarfare."
/I'm still pissed but the AI is still there.

Mass Effect Logic.

I don't think the Quarians were unlucky, but were sacrificed by an immoral council policy that was inconsistent. Why did the Council not intervene at all, either to contain the threat of the Geth or enforce their own policies regarding AI's?

Because the geth didn't threaten any asari worlds

[Seboist]

One of the more comical aspects about the whole "Synths are people too!" notion in 3 is how nobody has any ethical qualms about EDI forcibly commandeering Eva Core's body.
