Do what exactly are you doing then, to 'prepare'?

[ImaginaryMatter]

"See this devastation, Primarch? Double it for Earth. I need the Turian fleet."
"We can help you if the pressure is taken off Palaven."
"That's a tall order, Primarch."

...I so wanted to punch my computer in the face.

Add that to the list of places in the game where my spacebar gets a workout (also post-Thessia, Udina's office after the first Council meeting, Shepard standing around for eighteen seconds with his thumb up his ass while the VS gets their head bashed in, Shepard standing around with his thumb up his ass while Thane gets shanked - most of Kai Leng's scenes, really - and "It's good to be home" on Earth. No it ain't, Shepard. You're a colony kid whose stated post-war plans are on Rannoch. Earth is that place where you sat in a cell with your thumb up your ass for six months for no reason - it was never home in any sense, past, present, or future).

 

Shepard's thumb must sure smell bad.

NOTHING will ever ****** me off more than "Turn the safeties off!" in Pinnacle Station.

 

Seriously, Shepard. What.

 

WHAT.

Never played Pinnacle Station. Do I even want to know?

No. No, you don't. It's even dumber than saying "This isn't about tactics" in the ME3 intro.

 

Which is a whole lot of dumb.

That sounds so terribad that I want to sample it.

[General TSAR]

Shepard hugging Liara, antagonizing TIM, "we fight or we die," not calling out the head Asari on her stupidity, not shooting the sexbot, being butthurt about Thessia.

 

having Joker bring the Normandy in front of Harbinger to pick up your squadmates

 

Yeah WTF?! "Hey let's fly the Normandy which is loaded with tons of explosives and fuel right into the face of a Reaper and have it hover above the make-or-break assault on the beam."

 

If Harby wasn't suffering from cutscene stupidity, he would have won the damn war. 

[KaiserShep]

It'd be pretty funny to have the option to shoot EDI's newly acquired body, and then never be able to successfully stop the emergency protocol at Cronos station, because no one but EDI is fast enough to override it.

[Massa FX]

to answer OP's question: Most of what 's written above my post and a wealth of other things that would take too long to list.

[Faerlyte]

Do what exactly are you doing then, to 'prepare'

Find the smartest people in the Universe and start problem solving. The atomic bomb didn't create itself.

 

You have a geth ally, a geth that knows and understands, to some extent, the Reapers in ways that organics never could. There is all kinds of potential there for plot development (on a side note, Bioware could write whatever they wanted - Shepard could have discovered a species of rodent that is immune to indoctrination and chews on the Reapers synthetic parts, thereby rendering them dead, if they wanted - that's the beauty of creativity, it's limitless). But the story could have been the ultimate culmination of the synthetic versus organic struggle. Never before have synthetics been able to evolve as they have in this generation, and that could have been the factor that separated this civilization from all the previous ones, which failed. The alliance of synthetics and organics to defeat the Reapers, a fusion of synthetic and organics. That's poetic justice. .

This plus other stuff I've read above, plus "you mean Asari can reproduce with their own species?; plus James Vega, plus Ashley and Kaidan, plus Hackett's plan, plus Anderson's battle tactics for Hammer, have made me come to the conclusion that the MAXIMUM allowed IQ for the Systems Alliance military is that of a chimpanzee. I makes me embarrassed to be human.

Your Geth ally killed himself uploading reaper code to his buddies.

Let's be fair though. That's not really *canon*, since even the paraphrase option on the dialogue wheel raises an eyebrow to the more discerning reader and it can be avoided. Granted, I am assuming here that by canon, it means things you simply cannot avoid. I always avoided it because it just looked dumb from the start. I picked it once just to get the full line and regretted it because now it came out of Shepard's mouth, tainting her forever lol. I kinda wish that Liara gave Shepard the awkward stare. I'd pick it more often for that.

 

As for Shepard automatically bringing the Normandy into the Alliance's custody, I can't help but think that a big part of the reason to do this was to have an excuse to get rid of the Cerberus brand spam, and totally redo the interior of the ship, particularly in adding the war room to integrate the multiplayer aspect of the game into single player. Shepard has no reason (or even the means) to do this on his/her own, unless there just happens to be some high-tech shipyard where they can somehow revamp the ship on the cheap because of reasons.

Shepard is hardcore.

 

And also a moron.

[Farangbaa]

What truely annoys me, personally, is that we never even get a minimal reference to McDonalds.

 

My most hated line in the game is not said by Shepard. It's said by the Turian councelor: "This evidence is irrefutable!"

 

Oh really now? So... the memory core of a Geth, created by Quarians, offered to you by a Quarian is irrefutable damage? Are you for real?

[KaiserShep]

Too bad the geth don't have holographic recording like the droids of Star Wars. That might have made things a bit easier.

[wiccame]

Off the top of my head...

 

We fight or die! - I would have liked to have told them they had 3 years to come up with a plan and they wait for the last minute to ask the one person they disgraced, for a plan.

 

Wanted to shout out to Traynor when the clone was telling her to prep the Normandy for take off....and why did Shepard go all stupid in the first place and message Traynor with the command code. Like she didn't see the clone blocking and stealing them. 

 

Trying to shoot her clone through the vault wall. Surely she should have know it was blast proof.

 

All the times Shepard apologised to idiots that didn't listen to her.

 

Telling Kaidan, they were on a break!

[Xilizhra]

The stupid dialogue in ME3's prologue. There are probably a few other things that I'm forgetting, but really, Shepard does not often annoy me.

[KaiserShep]

The prologue is easily the most annoying because more often than not, the options of dialogue were scant at best. Far too many lines are spoken without a prompt for the player, so you can't set the tone to which you respond to Anderson. Hell in that position, I'd love to be able to be a bit shorter with him after all the time wasted on Earth because of some lousy batarians. With the reapers coming, it's not like they can afford to dick about with Shepard anymore anyway, unless BioWare wanted to write the Alliance to be that stupid.

 

From an idea in a previous thread, I've now realized that Shepard could have called in the shuttle for air support on Thessia. It makes perfect sense to do so. The Kodiaks are supposed to be rugged, but are also armed, and from the mission on Rannoch to rescue Admiral Koris, we know that they can be equipped with a manned turret. This thought annoys me more and more.

Personally, I'm going to say that Shepard is baked on space cannabis or something during the prologue, and her only symptoms of being high are her making terrible dramatic statements as opposed to the good ones she can generally toss out.

[naddaya]

Also in LOTSB, I saw Vasir's betrayal coming a mile away, and Shepard kept on being oblivious and telling her his position and everything.

Up until that moment, I had RP'd a Shepard that trusts no one and is suspicious of everyone, because the universe seems to be supersaturated with interstellar lowlifes, and some asari on a planet heavily populated with high-powered gang members says she's a Spectre, and now I must cooperate. This is all in consideration of the fact that Shepard has already dealt with a number of agents of both Saren and the Shadow Broker on the Citadel in ME1, so it's not like this is all that alien. Heck in Shepard's shoes, I would have told Vasir to get lost and assume control over the investigation, from one Spectre to [presumably] another.

Do much worse than strap your own autistic brother to the Torturetron 5000, For Science? For the goal of controlling an entire sapient species, at the whim of a megalomaniac? Help me here.

 

He treats Archer like scum because he is scum. At least until he does some act of redemption to move up to not-scum. Merely saying "gee I didn't think it'd be this bad" doesn't cut it.

 

The way I played Omega, I spare Petrovski with a simple "I know my duty." He's an enemy but I don't hate him. When he surrenders and offers to prove useful I take him up on it. I'm fine with that. I just wish I was more forceful in pulling Aria off of him. "Maybe we should think about this" is not what my Shepard would say.

Shoot Mordin in the back, recruiting Morinth, killing Falere... Not to mention the multiple genocides you can have a hand in. Shepard can do much worse than Overlord.

 

Hale at least plays Shep as pretty contemptuous of Petrovsky regardless of what you do.

[Tyrannosaurus Rex]

It'd be pretty funny to have the option to shoot EDI's newly acquired body, and then never be able to successfully stop the emergency protocol at Cronos station, because no one but EDI is fast enough to override it.

 

Shepard has used EDI before to hack and/or override systems without needing her body in ME2. Case in point, the Collector ship.
