I have played the dlc right after the coup and was wondering, for those who played it right after the coup and haven't locked in with Garrus, Tali, Ashley and Kaidan, is it T'soni that shows up at the dealership? I know for those who romance Sam, Steve , Miranda and Jack that she shows up.

And in Synthesis, it's a dream everyone has since Shepard is now  part of everyone, right?

 

I'd say it's an hallucination Shepard had while falling into the beam.

Seven years and the trilogy on Xbox 360, PC, and PS3 would disagree with you.

 

 

Well, maybe the first two parts of the trilogy, at least. But here lies the issue (for me at least): when comparing Citadel's light-heartedness to ME3's hopelessness, I find the former far more inconsistent with the series.

 

Sure, ME1 and 2 didn't resemble either ME3 or Citadel in tone. For all the build-up of the suicide mission, it was an utter walk and the park. But what those games both build up is the idea of the Reapers as being an utterly unstoppable force, hence why ME3 being extremely bleak feels more consistent with what previous installments were telling us.

 

No one we've faced up until this point, not Saren, not Sovereign, not the Geth, or the Collectors, or random mercenary bands, can compare to the sheer scale of this threat, hence ME3's tone. That's one advantage ME3's experience has that Citadel doesn't; it was expected to occur.

 

Citadel, given its narrative context, doesn't make any kind of sense, from a tone stand point. Anderson giving Shepard an apartment to throw a party while Earth is getting ravaged? Maybe if you headcanon it as post-endings, sure.

 

It's actually a similar problem to the second episode of Sherlock Season 3, which seemed to focus more on fan service than on a serious narrative, with some light-hearted elements.
