Killing off races just makes a less interesting setting IMO, as you've now shrunk the universe and reduced the amount of factions.
The optional collapse of civilizations also makes sequels difficult. Bioware should avoid falling into that trap with the next game. DA:O is a good example of how to handle player impact on civilizations. The Harrowmont or Bhelen decision has a large impact on Orzammar's future without removing Dwarves entirely from the setting.
You can add the Volus while you're at it.
****** blasphemy.
(That would work better if I still had my old profile picture going.)
Oh, I didn't mean new or previous squadmates accumulating in the war room - the idea is unnamed alien NPCs who take up stations in there, coordinating with their home fleets. Instead of Liara relaying word of the monastery to you after the coup, it would be an unnamed Asari intelligence officer posted to the War Room who never directly speaks to you again, but can always be found either in the War Room or, perhaps, in the mess or elsewhere on the ship (men's room?). Over the course of the game, the War Room (instead of being half-empty from beginning to end and exclusively human) would become a menagerie of the different species you've managed to recruit. Instead of "that room between me and the vid-com," it's the hub where the entire war is being coordinated.

Yes, it had something to do with the Hanar, iirc. Udina was petitioning the council to abandon the hanar homeworld to the reapers in favor of regrouping for a counterstrike or something. There was Emily Wong, Kasumi, Terra Firma, Thane's role was at least acceptable (he was the one who shot Udina), Udina's motivations made sense and that stupid fixation on Earth was thematized.
Compared to whom? Shepard spends the entire game moping about Earth. Tali had the entire Rannoch arc practically dedicated to her in ME3. Maybe Garrus. But Garrus does not ask for comfort (I think it makes sense that born-soldier Garrus takes it differently). Liara for example wants to talk with Garrus after palavan and he tells her politely that he doesn't want to talk. But Shepard can ask about his family for at least three, probably four times, and you can try to comfort him, including half-hugs and everything.
I just really felt like I was FORCED into talking to her. With Garrus I CAN ask him about his family, in fact, I have to seek it out. Most of those discussions can be avoided I think. With Liara, the entire crew is worried about her emotional well-being, and joker as well as multiple other crew members remind me to go talk to her. It's not the fact that she grieves, it's how she does it. After shepard died she became a giant info-broker bad-ass. After Thessia fell, she reacted in a way that I think people assume someone SHOULD react as opposed to how she WOULD react.
I guess I feel like she would be the kind of person (at least in 2 and 3) that is of the philosophy "Don't get mad, get even." Her whole attitude during the shadow broker mission backs this up. It gives us an outline, showing us how the "new" Liara handles high-stress, dangerous situations, and she kicks it's ass. But in 3 she broke down and became almost non-functional because it was convenient? This is a girl who lost her mom, lost best friend, and became a info-broker bad-ass without succumbing to grief (if she cried, it was always away from prying eyes, and never got in the way of her work).
I don't know, I just see a break in character there that bugs me, and I feel like it was done because the writers felt they needed someone to convey the gravity of the situation, and Liara drew the short stick.

- Looking into Javik's Echo Shard.
- Samara's gift to Shepard if you romanced her. Similar to Liara's goodbye.
- Hackett figuring out Sovereign's weakness during the Citadel battle. He orders a large portion of the fleet to attack Sovereign from behind, which gives them an advantage.
- Destiny Ascension firing at Sovereign
- Cronos station - there are 3 Atlas mechs in the first area. Too bad Shepard and his/her squad don't use them together.
- Food issues on the Normandy. I know this may sound trivial but I was curious about this since ME2. Look at Jacob -- he's a biotic and a bodybuilder. The Codex mentions that biotics are required to consume at least 4500 calories a day. Bodybuilders need to eat a LOT of food. So how much does Jacob actually eat? How the hell does he manage to have such a physique? What about Miranda? She's a biotic, has a great body and her genes have been perfectly engineered. How much does she eat? What about Wrex and Grunt? Krogan can weight up to a ton and Wrex is a biotic! What about Jack? Shepard? The rest? I can imagine some very amusing squad banter.
- TIM and Hackett are at least 100 years old. In ME1, Shepard mentioned that humans are lucky if they reach 150.

I would add an alternate ending scene where Shepard puts Starbrat over his knee and spanks the tar out of him. Then roll the credits.

Don't worry, you are not alone; it always kinda bothered me that biotic Shepards were just as bulky as the rest of them. I don't know if this counts as a cutscene but I would at least add more banter about eating. In college all I did was eat and my weight went up very slowly or not at all. I can't imagine what routine the ME biotics go through.
At least Normandy has a kitchen in ME2 and 3

I got your back:
In the "Redemption" comic, the Blue Suns were working for the Shadow Broker.
So, the Shadow Broker bought Shepard from the Blue Suns, and then tried selling him/her to the Collectors.
That was taken OOC. If Shepard was never killed, Shepard would not have ended up working for Cerberus.
I would have added a scene or section where you were able to only have jack or miranda on the ship.
Not both.
So long Miranda.
So long Miranda.
Nope. Bye Jack
Thete was a time when I was in complete agreement with this statement, but Miranda's citadel DLC content changed things. Well that plus seasons 7 and 8 of Dexter.So long Miranda.

Can't I throw them both off? The psychotic mass murderer belongs in prison, and no Cerberus is good Cerberus.

Now it's a tough choice.
For me they use to be about equal; however, my opinion of Miranda had dropped down every playthrough so now Jack is firmly in the lead.
Already in the game. It results in:SO BE IT
I know it's not a scene, but I would have had Traynor be the mandatory squadmate fore the first part of the leviathan mission, taking EDI's place (since there's no combat) and Cortez on the ground at the mining planet (for no other reason than they both needed more screentime).
both would have been available as casino distractions in Citadel and both would have shown up at the "having a bad day line". To get around Traynor having to fight, just have her hanging out with a squadmate who does fight and stay out of the way providing Overload hacks or Sabotages every once in awhile.

I agree about the Leviathan dlc. Sam could track the signal and talk with Ann about the rachni since she studied them.
Its too bad Steve, Samantha, Jack and Miranda couldn't be with Shepard for the casino part.
The part with having a bad day, I don't see why Miranda, Jack and Steve couldn't be there to say that line and with Traynor not being a squadmate, it could be edi instead of......... and not have it say having a bad day, but instead say are you injured Shepard?
