Continue, if only to read just how bad it is.

 

It is basically the wet dreams of a hurt paragon fanboy. Complete with idiotic punishment toward renegades (read the ending and what happens to Jacob) that makes no sense and if I recall, not bothering to change things like Sur'Kesh or the coup because he liked them.

 

And then there is the creepy **** like the romance with the punchable reporter.

 

I read about 100 pages and skimmed through the rest.

 

Having Khalisah as the embedded reporter wasn't a bad idea (and arguably a better idea than Allers), but allowing a romance path for characters that punched her is just bizarre. Achievement unlocked: Battered Waifu

 

And both the Khalisah and Kelly romance scenes for the Citadel DLC sounds like they were lifted from whatever pornos the author happened to be watching at the time.

Personally, I'd make a deal with Petrovsky: take your talents and your fleet, and put them on my side, in exchange for Omega. Let Aria have Omega, so that I can have what she can give me. Nyreen can pout and whine all she wants. I don't care, I don't give a damn about her self-righteousness.

Well maybe; the only problem are his Reaper-light troops..

Yeah. Granted, I would have preferred Emily Wong to Khalisa, and I would have appreciated Kelly's appearance in Citadel. I still don't know why she wasn't there.

^ Scheduling conflicts with the voice actor?

Are they indoctrinated? They're nothing that shows that they are. They certainly didn't seem indoctrinated in the Invasion comic, and Petrovsky never treated them as such.

 

Hell, I'd even make a deal with Aria to have her keep giving civilians to Petrovsky to be used as Adjutants. They can be controlled. Petrovsky confirmed it. Powerful shock troops? I like.

[Barquiel]

I guess I was pumped to see some one from Cerberus who wasn't lol-Indoctrinated.
 
As for concrete reasons it probably has to do with the some of his more subtle actions that denote that he might be one of the more ideal Cerberus followers.

Fair enough. I think he's just as evil/stupid as TIM and the rest of cerberus in ME3...but they at least had the "excuse" of being lol-indoctrinated

[General TSAR]

Nyreen can pout and whine all she wants. I don't care, I don't give a damn about her self-righteousness.

Speaking of that bonehead, the occupation of Omega by Cerberus is an illegal action?! WTF? 

 

I always get a laugh out of this

 

 

Quality BioWare Product.

[von uber]

I always get the one where Nyreen rotates on the spot.

[Steelcan]

Don't worry, I'll be here to defend the Omega DLC until the very bitter end. Not that it was perfect but it is constantly one of my favorite parts in any given ME run.

 

I was actually really surprised by how much atmosphere and detail they put into the level designs, its just there wasn't much in them besides flashy screens, no real reason to be looking around

 

Also Nyreen was a pain, and Petrovsky was a bit butchered in his presentation than from Omega

[Han Shot First]

I might be in the minority here, but I would have preferred it if Petrovsky was indoctrinated. I feel the same way about Brooks and the Clone.

 

Its just that with the greatest and deadliest war the galaxy has ever seen raging, and one that could potentially end with all space faring life annihilated, it makes absolutely zero sense for unindoctrinated factions to be warring against one another. Cerberus may not see eye to eye with the Alliance, but to anyone who isn't indoctrinated the Reapers should seem like the far greater and much more immediate threat. Thus anyone who has complete control of their own mental faculties aiding the Reaper war effort by allowing them to divide and conquer, strains suspension of disbelief a bit.

[Mordokai]

Petrovsky?

*snip the image*

Didn't find him that interesting. Found the whole chess thing a bit bleh.

 

Aria doesn't like him.

 

That's reason enough for me to like him.

[DeinonSlayer]

Are they indoctrinated? They're nothing that shows that they are. They certainly didn't seem indoctrinated in the Invasion comic, and Petrovsky never treated them as such.

They never really resolved that, did they? There was also that datapad in Omega DLC threatening "severe combat pay reductions" as a penalty for (what was it? Adjutant escapes?)

Hell, I'd even make a deal with Aria to have her keep giving civilians to Petrovsky to be used as Adjutants. They can be controlled. Petrovsky confirmed it. Powerful shock troops? I like.

There's the Massively I know.

I always find it funny how Shepard gets all indignant about atrocities committed by others (ex: Overlord). Sometimes it seems the only difference is that Shepard's atrocities (ex: Bahak) work. Pot kettle black.

Wait, do they actually say that in the DLC?  If so, it goes right up there with "How dare the Quarians break the Treaty of Farixen" in terms of stupidity.

[Animositisomina]

Not sure if this really counts, but one "scene" that bugs the crap out of me is the docking tube leading to the geth dreadnought. There is absolutely no reason for that part of the game to exist. None. The whole thing could've been done through a cutscene or just skipped altogether and implied through dialogue. As it stands now, it's just padding/filler and I hate it. Walk, walk, walk. Pointless view of ship. Walk, walk, walk. Pointless view of planet. Walk, walk, walk. Board dreadnought. How captivating!

[PCThug]

I loathe the conversation with the VS in the hospital if you romanced them in the 1st game and romanced someone differently in the 2nd. MShep can at least defend himself against the ludicrous cheating accusations. FemShep can only either lie or grovel.

I always found it weird as well. Like what exactly is it? It looks like a bunch of pieces of metal welded into a giant tube, was it an intact tube that was damaged? But why would it be extended from the dreadnought? Also how did the Normandy get so close as to pull up with the docking tube but not get murdered by the Dreadnought's GUARDIAN lasers?

 

I guess I throw it in with the rest of the things about the Geth Dreadnought that don't make sense.

The Normandy is effectively invisible. Sure, most of it makes no sense. But that part doesn't.

Yeah, that I get. It's just the whole 'let's walk in slow motion for 50 feet for no real reason' part that irritates me. For what it is, it could've just been a 10 second cutscene and accomplished the same thing.

Because it's fun? Has that idea crossed your mind?

"Rule of Cool" is not a good reason to make illogical situations or situations that should not happen in lore

[Bob from Accounting]

First of all, you're entirely wrong. Every video game in existence bends lore to make gameplay fun. Such as not having characters die from getting shot in the head once. Does that mean that people in video games have some magical canonical resistance to headshots?

 

Secondly, despite what you may have misunderstood, 'Rule of Cool' is not a catch all phrase for anything you don't like in the story.

 

Thirdly, what exactly are you concerns with the docking tube?

The docking of the Normady to the Dreadnought isn't a gameplay issue, nice try

 

It applies in this situation, the writers/ level designers really wanted us walking across that tube probably so we could see Rannoch and the battle around it, not out of lore reasons

 

It shouldn't be possible, the geth just happen to leave docking tubes out in the middle of warzones?

Good point. I agree about Brooks and the Clone, but not about Petrovsky. He doesn't really go out of his way to antagonize anybody, he only holds the fort as per his orders. Maybe he believes TIM still knows what he's doing. Or as I like to think, maybe his troopers have Order 66 type programming and will murder his ass if he deserts, or strays from the game plan. In any case, apart from pissing Aria off, he's no major detriment to the war effort, though his removal does yield significant gains.

 

There's also the possibility that some people are just that petty/ shortsighted. I'd attribute this to Brooks/the clone. This and possibly using the chaos as an opportunity. There'd be a lot more official scrutiny and investigation if they attacked someone like Shepard in peacetime.

Ironically, just going extravehicular and floating from the Normandy to the dreadnaught would've yielded a better view. And made for more interesting gameplay in zero G (see: Crysis).

 

But coding it would've probably been too much work.

 

It'd also be awesome if we had a console and could flip the relevant variables on in other levels. Ah, in another world, where Valve made Mass Effect...
