Diana Allers

She seemed more concerned with ratings and her reputation than the billions of lives being snuffed out. Or at least she did until the Reapers showed up on her own planet.

Her attitude was incredibly annoying.

 Allers. She has the personality of a dead moth.

I'd want to be a Spectre.

Hell, there'd be a lot less stupid people in the world with me around.

I'd probably go with the Thorian and basically any Spectre, ever. Not convinced that the Spectres are an institution that's worth keeping around.

Pretty certain it's an institution to get rid of, along with the Council that made it. Somehow I doubt "celebrity with a license to kill" would work well in practice.


This. The whole concept just strikes me as a really ****ty idea in real life. Unless you lived in a distopia of course. 

Funny thing is, soldiers and police are probably the worst group of tools of the state to give Spectre status to. Blanket legal immunity is wasted on people who's primary skill set, killing people, is already legally sanctioned.

A real Spectre, or at least one getting the most mileage out of the perk, would probably be more useful for white-collar criminals and conspiracies hidden in the bureacracy than pirate dens and terrorists. Corrupt megacorp CEOs are far more serious threats to galactic stability, let alone the galactic economy, than terrorist cells. A Spectre would be worth sneaking through the bureacracy and financial insitutions to find evidence/punish political threats than wiping out merc camps.

Kai Leng, for more or less the same reasons I wouldn't want to live next to Deadpool. He might try to kill me. Worse, he might try to talk to me.

 Aria. As much as I like her in the game, she is selfish, strong willed, brutal and charismatic. That's the kind oft person who make people her tools.
I'd love to be neighbour with Ash though. A woman who travels lightyears to help her sister with boy problems would make an awesome friend.

Ash is pretty realistic. Find any woman on a softball or soccer team. Beware though, most of them have big calves.

My Renegade FemShep. She is cooooooooooold.

TIM. He went and got himself indoctrinated... On purpose!

Miranda. I seriously do NOT like her.

Harkin. What a scumbag...

Kaidan. He's too boring.

Pre-indoctrination Saren. Great. Racism.

Kai Leng. Racist and an assassin? I guess you can't reason with him...

Wreav. He's a ******.

Dalatrass Linron. So anyone who is against you is a bully? Go **** yourself.

Jona Sederis. She's a psychopath. Keep her in jail.

Saren. I'm human. Saren no like humans. And plus, he's one crazy mofo. And if Saren were my neighbor that would mean that his "house" would be Sovereign.... Yeah, scary stuff.

Morinth, I'd be dead before you could say "no self-control".

Kai Leng. I rely on cereal in the morning for sustenance, I don't want to wake up one morning without my breakfast.

Harbinger: All that honking would really mess with my sleep schedule. Also indoctrination.

I lol'd.

 It'd be easier to list the people I would want as neighbors. If I had to pick, though... Councilor Sparatus.

I lol'd again.

And hey, that's a pretty good idea for another thread!

Khalisah Al-Jilani because she's a natural born stalker.

Wrex, I love him to death, but with all those female Krogan seeking his "company"...there are certain sounds in the ME universe I never want to hear.

Out of the non-gigantic killer bunch, and NPCs only, probably Aria. Dyed-in-the-wool criminal scum next door? No thanks. Next on the list would be Grunt. Too many all-night krogan parties.

Any one Reaper. Can you imagine having that "Bluuuuurrrrhh" noise going every 30 seconds next door to you?

I think the intent of Spectre immunity to soldiers and the like is to provide them with the authority to poop all over whatever equivalent to the Geneva conventions the ME universe has. To take one quick example, if you've got guerillas hiding amongst a civilian population, ordinary grunts may not have the authority or willingness to adopt scorched earth tactics, but a Spectre would. These seem to be exactly the kinds of actions that Renegade Shepard, Vasir and Saren actually use their authority for. Of course, giving people the blanket authority to do this kind of thing is exactly what I find ethically questionable about them, but I wouldn't necessarily call Spectre immunity redundant in the case of soldiers or police officers.
