Having said that, it'll be tricky to find the delicate balance between adding more content and making that content feel worthwhile to you as a player and the role your character is playing. If the character is much less significant than Shepard/Inquisitor, the side missions may also be less significant, as long as they are interesting and diverse.

The Kodiak. Seriously, silliest little dropship ever designed.

Long cutscenes besides end one, scanning planets (although the planet side missions on me1 were kinda cool), action button does everything (gets pretty nasty in tight situations), the extremely long load times between ship levels on console, that's all I can think of right now

Humans are Special: The single worst trope in all of Science Fiction, and one that was not only present in every game but seemed to get turned up a notch with each chapter. Stop it, Mac.
Exposed skin / lack of helmets for hostile enviroments. That one was mostly limited to ME2, but there were a couple characters in ME3 that didn't have helmets.
Fetch quests.
Fetch quests obtained by eavesdropping.
Lack of cinematic conversations with NPCs. (More of a problem with DA:I than ME games, but there were a few instances of it in ME2 and ME3)
Characters in the Citadel DLC too often seeming more like cartoonish caricatures of themselves than believable people in the game universe. I loved the Citadel DLC overall, but thought the humor could have been be toned down a few notches. An entire game of that would feel like Tumblr Fanfic Comic: The Game. No thanks!
Content that breaks the fourth wall. No more NPCs discussing multiplayer, please.
All of this, but mostly I just never want to see or hear from Cerberus again.

Breathing mask helmets, especially when the players are clearly in a vacuum. It just drove me nuts.
In ME1/2 a small thing that drove me constantly nuts were infodump dialogue choices, which are usually tell me everything about this situation/please tell me everything about your background, dearest friend, everything as we stand around here. I understood their purpose, but they always cause such disconnect with me. Sadly, for me, they'll probably return for that in ME:A as one of the way they dealt with it in ME3 was the auto-dialogue as it was almost always used in those infodump situations while allowing a better dynamic flow in the scene as more things could happen. Also, when they had those questions available, because therew as usually only one, they were able to write it so that it naturally lead to the decision instead of ME1/ME2 where it was lets talk about random stuff, oh yeah I have a decision now.

+ biotic/tech combos being pretty much the same but with different colors.
All biotic combos being the same.
All tech combos being the same.
Thermal clips
If you have thermal clips the glut of ammo in me3. Why bother if it's bottomless on every map.
Planet scanning in me2
Invulnerability in me1.
Pathing problems with biotic charge.
One button to rule them all.
How low you threw your powers it made shooting over cover you were standing behind really awkward. Similar issue with standing to right of cover with biotics.

ME1: hideous inventory, the hideous hacking, boring fetch sidequests like collecting materials and League of One medallions, the Mako.
ME2: the hacking, the uninspired inventory, the scanning & "anomaly detected", the change to certain biotic powers like Throw being turned into a biotic sphere that knocks people back as opposed to biotic telekinesis - like it was in ME1.
ME3: far too many Citadel fetch quests, uninspired Earth mission, war assets & uninspired handling of all your buddies.

Here are a few small things that annoyed me:
1. Ammo powers from ME2 always bugged me. I don't really know how using a certain type of ammo constitutes a "skill." With relatively little training, I imagine that even I could load different kinds of ammunition into a firearm.
2. Repetitive side quests: I found this especially annoying in ME1. You could always count on Admiral Hackett to send you a transmission basically saying, "Commander Shepard, I know you're in this whole 'race against time' thing, but we need you to divert from your mission so that you can enter some prefabricated buildings and kill a bunch of colonists who have been turned into husks and/or Thorian creepers."
3. Has anyone mentioned the whole "Spacebar does everything" issue? More than once, I've accidentally taken cover right next to a banshee, resulting in me getting sync-killed. Not fun times.

Seriously, has the technology for expense accounts been somehow lost in the MEU? It worked in a couple of places in ME2 -- it's not like TIM could have just ordered all of Fortack's stuff from Amazon, for instance. But on the Citadel? Doesn't someone have the brains to just issue Shepard an Amex Eezo card and be done with it?

Lack of cinematic conversations with NPCs. (More of a problem with DA:I than ME games, but there were a few instances of it in ME2 and ME3)
I actually thought that ME3 was a great deal worse in this respect, because it had these exact same "external" views of conversations, only it was virtually all autodialogue. At least with Inquisition, we had options of what our character says in every session.
Anyways, the things I'd like to see less or none of:
Autodialogue: An obvious one. Sometimes I can tolerate it, but every so often there's a line or two that annoy me. Take Shepard saying "There has to be another way" to the Catalyst when it reveals the consequences of picking Destroy. Well…what if I don't give a quarian canker sore about another way and choose not to care? What if I want to just get this freak show along and say "Sounds good to me. Say goodnight, b*tch!"?
I don't want any decryption minigames of any sort. In this respect, I was glad to see that ME3 got that nonsense out of the way and let the omni-tool do the work. I hated ME1's game of Simon.
I don't want to see anything like ME1's crappy inventory system ever again.

I can't stop the sarcasm..... and suddenly I rant too much.. apology in advance...
ME1 :
- I love ME2 and ME3 heat sinks, overheating frak sniper rifles... and it made the gun ridiculously more OP than an assault rifle
- MaleShep customization hassle and constantly churning out cardboard
- First meeting with damsels in distress and *snap* fall in love with hero.
- Mini-games. Tower of hanoi.
- Grid maps on planets... filled with nothing but same prefabs, same mercs, same building
- Dont tell everyone that you can play Shepard as a girl, its embarrassing! We need to promote our european supermodel more!! Nobody want to play as a kick ass girl anyway, just leave all that to our NPCs who you can frak.
- Why do we need to have another animation just for the female version? Just make her walk like she's wearing a brick on her chest and the guy Shepard's dance is more funny, not the girly one in ME1. Oh, she sit down with her legs spread because the broShep did it. Good job.
- What? We have girl shep? We need more Vanderloo to man this game up!!! Oh, let's give him more girls to frak and more private lap dance!
- Oh, yeah, we facescan a couple of beautiful female actress and models and we want them in the game without their real body because we can place more boobs and ass fat in all the right places. And we need to put them in the most skanky outfit/lack-of-outfit as possible even when they're fighting in exposed space and zero gravity....
- People playing FemShep don't like sappy romance like Kaidan. Let's give her one muscular black guy and two aliens and screw romantic build up and flirting, she's a cougar, let's hit the sack. Oh, make the old boyfriend dump you in a one minute cameo because he didn't want you to join up your terrorist groupies and you forget that he's still angry about you making him leaving you alone to die in the first five minute of the game. Oh, and if you choose to dump him for our wonderful new male love interest, choose wisely because we have more surprises for you in the next game...
- More mini-games. yay!! because its not like you have an AI who can make all of this go away... wait you got TWO AI and you still have to do this mini games... so adorable.
- So... everyone get to dump all their family issues and catfights on me and yet I don't even have one personal history related issues I need to solve? (Oh wait, I got dump. Meh, I get over it) Oh, its not about me, its about the characters I can frak and kill off later whenever I want to.
- I'm just the hero without baggage because I'm barely even a human being anyway.. I remember getting thrown from my ship and into open space and getting suffocated before falling on planet.. of course, I got over it. I'm badass remember?
- more N7 missions in different planet or derelict ships even if you're not with the Alliance anymore. And its all optional and didn't matter anyway, we just love watching you waste more hours on killing more mercs than collectors.
- DLC that doesn't add anything especially with squad interactions and only rewards you with some line changes in the later game and probably some war assets.
- And yeah. Hammerhead!!!! A hovercar with tissue paper armor....! Everyone gonna love it that they're paying us money to play it!
- Here's more alt appearance for your characters. Pay us money. Don't support those modders.
- I ask. You talk. You talk. You talk. I listen. You talk. You talk. You talk. Oh wait, "Cerberus did that to you on Akuze because its for humanity's best interest." I can't say BS to that. You talk You talk. "Frak off". I should go. Because one sided conversation is what made RPG great... since people like this the most, we'll save this in the ending for the next game. They would lurve it.
- NG+ is worthless because you still need to redo and collect all the upgrade again. hoo
ME3
- Oh hey, Liara. I didn't see you ever since that DLC of yours. Sure, let's make a deathstar. Umm.. why you're following me. Why are you hovering outside my room. Since when the Citadel Council listen to you... oh wait you're the galaxy blackmailer. Wait why you're taking over my XO office. Can't you just order your people to enlist into my war, why do I need to scan this planet, oh your mother-father is here. Oh you're a good shadow broker who don't want to talk to your only surviving family because there's a war going on. Oh you got me a memory box, and put my name in the star, does it came with a starchild holo? Apparently, my AI and communication specialist isn't working since you kept coming into my room to send me a message... oh let's talk how cute and cuddly you are and wait didn't you kill your own mommy? awww... we got a prothean! and he said to screw you, how adorable. Your mommy lied to you. Oh, Thessia in ruins, let me comfort you..... .... .... .. oh wait, who is EDI, James, Tali, Garrus, Kaidan, Ashley, Wrex, Mordin, Legion, Grunt, Jack, Miranda, Kasumi, Samara, Morinth, Zaeed, Thane, Jacob.... why can't I remember some of them even exist in this game? Do I need to pay a DLC so I can have them all back?
- Oh hey, Garrus. Why are we suddenly being bros, didn't you always have some calibrations to do? Oh I have to dumb myself to make you happy about being the best sniper? Nah, not going to happen. Oh you don't like that I cured the genophage.. whatever dude.
- Who is this fracking Allers and why she get a facescan and a romance when the default FemShep get Muppet-treatment? Oh, she's Casey's friend. How nice of you to give the tools so that people could make porn out of her real face....
- Hi, Ashley......I didn't know you're related to the Kardashians...
- Joker, have you seen Ex Machina? Stop thinking you're entitled to her sexually because she's a sexy robot.
- Why can't I have the mech dog accompany me in my missions?
- Thane, he have a sword...... why are you running toward it with a gun?
- Yeah yeah.. endings are overated anyway... let's retcon everything for the next game. Yay....

Okay, so I'm not talking about the big hitters like Cerberus, or the ending, or killing a favourite character or whatnot.
Let's just chill out and talk about the daft stuff that drives you crazy while playing ME1, 2 or 3.
For me it's the decryption games, especially in ME2. They're SO annoying.
I'm Commander Shepard, why the hell can't I just shoot a lock open or press an app to open a damn safe? Urgh it's like rogues being the only ones who can open chests in DA, only with annoying, repetitive mini-games. Never again. Please. I beg you.
Also inventory management in ME1, but thankfully they axed that in 2 and 3 so I'm hopeful it won't be coming back.
About locks do I like how it is done in Fallout 4 where it often is a choice between hacking and using lock-picks.

Unskippable cutscenes.
References to earlier games in the franchise that may not make sense depending on what choices you made (For example Joker asking you if you want to call the council and hang up on them for old times sake no matter if you did that in ME1 or not.)

I just.....dammit that was amazing. Love and agree with everything you said, especially male sheps in ME1 that end up looking like cardboard. Just took me 2 days of game time to make a decent looking guy (cause I think ShepLoo is creepy) and he turned out okay. Kinda looks like he's in the middle of a seizure tho, hoping I can tweak that in ME2. ![]()

Honestly.... default BroShep running through dangerous situations only to come out emerged victorious. He raised his face, light touched his sculpted face, his soulful eyes in the distance, his dark tan skin glistening under the sun, his thick luscious lips curved into a Blue Steel........... he's a Commander...who is also the person Zoolander was based on.
