Instead of Mordin/Padok having to go up the shroud to fix the problem, have them fix it on the ground using the console in front of them so they can live instead of dying when curing the genophage. And if you want to sabotage the genophage, just have Shepard tell them to get away from the console or shoot Mordin/Padok via an interrupt

 

Instead of Thane being stabbed, have Kai Leng run away after being knocked to the ground. This would let Thane show up at the Citadel party

 

On Thessia, instead of Kai Leng fighting, he just has the gunship fire at the supports with him still getting the VI. Or instead of him putting his sword in the ground he actually sticks it in Liara. Because thats what he does, right? He kills people.

 

On the beam run have the clown fire at Harbinger from behind distracting him enough for Shepard to get to the beam. Or after Shepard is grazed or whatever by Harbinger, Andersomething helps kill the 3 stooges and shields

 

Have the Thessia mission and the coup missions switched

 

In ME1 have the Asari councilor mind meld with Shepard after Eden Prime

 

In ME2  checkout the weapon that "killed" the derelict reaper. It could help to find a way to stop the reapers

 

I've seen this brought up before and initially it would make sense and could have saved a lot of time and trouble. But some poeple argue that Asari Mindmelds are intimiate actions and wouldn't be appropriate at the time.

I wondered about that to. There was no space battle over Thessia; yet we seen one over Earth, Palavan, Rannoch. What was the Asari fleet doing? As I recall Tevos told me they would be reinforcing their borders.

 

I recall some Asari snipers, and the two asari that were flying gunships when Shepard was trying to get to the temple. But that was about it.

@Duskwanderer, the beauty of BDtS was exactly that you couldn't have your cake and eat it too. If they were to add a time limit to remove that, the moral dilemma would be undone as well.

Not sure I agree with you. You already have that with "Go after Balak or save the colonists". A time limit would make things more imperative. I was leisurely strolling around doing quests while a frigging asteriod and terrorists were about

Just get liara and tevos to do it...
.. and then sell the vids.

Let me actually WATCH a Blasto movie instead of just hearing lines of audio

[Han Shot First]

I would have invited Kelly, Chakwas/Dr. Michel, Adams, Ken and Gabby to my party...and Aria (and possibly Bray?) with Councilor Tevos (imagine drunk Tevos), and Khalisah Al-Jilani...maybe even Diana Allers.

 

On that note I wished there was an interrupt to override gatekeeper Grunt, and let the shrieking fangirls and partyboy Vorcha in. That had some comedy potential. 

[ZipZap2000]

Grunt head butting fangirls seems like something Bioware would do. As for dancing metrosexual looking Vorcha man, you may stay and eat cake.

[Steelcan]

Kelly, Chakwas, and Eve should have been there

I remember the movie PATTON, where this hard nose general visits a medical facility to spend time with and honor his wounded by talking with his soldiers & passing out medals.   if I recall, he bent over and kissed a dead (or unconscious) soldier on the forehead.  

 

Maybe I'm just a pushover at such things -- but usually when you walk into a hospital to visit a family member, dear friend, collegue, or lover -- you make some kind of PHYSICAL contact with them -- like touch their hand.   ME3's cutscenes with A/K were totally sterile  --- even if there wasn't a romance involved.  I guess the Geth wrote the cutscenes.

 

I was romancing Ash at the time -- and fealt so stupid just standing there with blah, blah, blah.   Heck, I wanted to go over there and smack (kiss) her in the mouth, give her a hug, and wish her well & speedy recovery.   That's what she needed -- not "battlefield protocol".

Yes, that had be in caps. Super excited

After finally listening to the entire scene on the Normandy after Thessia I think the writing team was really in a hurry and did some very sloppy writing with it.

 

1) Shepard was simply expressing sympathy to the Asari Councilor for the Asari losing their home world to the reapers. She was more devastated about losing the Catalyst.

 

2) The following scene, the voice actors received the script and read it. The script said "Losing Thessia was on me." It meant "Losing (on) Thessia was on me."  I'm convinced no one went back and read what had been written before it went to the voice actors. Thus the rage about the scene. But I don't understand the rage because the statement didn't make any sense. The Normandy couldn't take on the Reaper fleet. It just underscores that Shepard is a dumb ass for thinking it could. It's just another statement that's up there with "I thought Asari needed other species to reproduce," among other dumb ass things Shepard can say during the story. It should have been written "Losing the Catalyst was on me." That would have been more acceptable and made more sense.

[DeinonSlayer]

No, I think they expected us to be deeply affected by the loss of Thessia because they expected everyone to be tight with Liara.

[von uber]

I disagree. I think Julia's interpretation makes more sense.

But hey, we haven't had a good old liara hate fest for quite a while, so why not now.

[themikefest]

The part about saying sorry to the Councilor was crap. Why couldn't the councilor say sorry for her government not revealing it earlier? It falls on the shoulders of the Asari for not revealing the thing earlier. Its not Shepard's fault.

[sH0tgUn jUliA]

@ themikefest: what would have been the point? What was done was done. We had the opportunity to say "So now you decide to help?" in Udina's office, yet the script didn't say that. It said something very benign. I just played this last night. Expressing sympathy for another race getting reaped is not really out of character. Does it really fall on the Asari shoulders? I don't think anyone could have stopped the reapers at that point. We didn't have the Crucible finished, and there was no way to defeat them conventionally. It was not apologizing to the Asari Councilor for losing the world. Yelling and screaming and pointing fingers wouldn't make any difference. Uh, the councilor would hit the disconnect button. What would Shepard do then? Go on a vendetta? That would really be helpful.

 

It was a badly written scene, though. They wanted to show Shepard having a "Blue Screen of Death" moment of all is lost because we can't finish the Crucible, then follow it with the "World of Cardboard" speech in the war room showing "I'm back, now let's kick some ass."

 

I disagree. I think Julia's interpretation makes more sense.

But hey, we haven't had a good old liara hate fest for quite a while, so why not now.

 

Yeah, we haven't had a hate on the Asari and Liara fest in a while.

 

I'm still going with bad writing on this. The poor writing quality is too consistent throughout the trilogy.

I have no problem feeling bad for the Asari homeworld been invaded. There was no reason to have Shepard moping against the wall for something she had no control over. Why didn't she mope about Palaven? Or all the folks killed during the coup? Heck Shepard doesn't mope over the killing of Ashley/Kaidan. Yes Thessia would be invaded regardless. But the Asari basically sat on the sideline knowing they had an artifact, and knew that the Crucible was a Prothean design, until we learn from the VI it wasn't, that it was missing a component. How hard would've it of been for them to come clean about the artifact on their homeworld? They only cared about one thing, remaining #1 in the galaxy.

 

And if the councilor disconnects the button while I yell at her, fine. I shouldn't have to say I'm sorry for something that was out of Shepard's hands. I hold the Asari accountable for waiting so long to reveal the artifact. Had that artifact been revealed earlier, a lot of lives could've/would've been saved.

@Dale - no. I'm not a fan of Joker.

I said that was a poorly written scene, and that it didn't come across as intended. The lives of the people lost on the planet are on the Asari Government, not on Shepard. But the whole thing with Cerberus was a plot device anyway. Cerberus would have been there to take it no matter what. We both know that. TIM had the location from the Mars Archives "or did your Shadow Broker miss that one." Dr. Core got it.

 

Another thing that amazes me is that an entire VI program, as well as all of the information in the Prothean Beacon (because it went dark) can fit inside an omni-tool. Talk about an ass pull. Bioware!

 

Again they were trying to show how the war was wearing down on Shepard. However, the writers weren't doing a very good job of it. They really toned down the "vices" of ME2 in ME3. Hell, I couldn't even get a drink in Purgatory until a certain official moment. If Shepard is going to melt down they have to show it happening and give the player an opportunity to actually contribute to it. Instead all we get are these little walkby quests for a press a button mission to get an artifact. There was too much detachment then you get slammed with this.
