Sneaking into the Captain's quarters. Heavy risk, but the priiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiize.

I want nothing but witty one liners and cliches.  I want the final confrontation with the antagonist to be nothing but witty one liners, no guns allowed, just words...  Along with reactions from the companions to be nothing but "*groan* can you two shut up and fight already?"

It feels like a suits episode sometimes

Yeah they need to let go of the headline sort of dialogue. There's so many platitudes and generic dialogue in ME3 where it becomes pretentious about how deep it wants itself to be where every line has to be really theatrical and impactful like in a Christopher Nolan movie. The worst thing about those movies is that they popularized **** dialogue along with the admittedly complex plots and cinematic wonder.

 

You don't want characters to spout lines it sounds like they heard from other movies or impactful-sounding phrases all the time. I remember in ME3 a lot of it was even nonsensical but they went with it anyway because it sounded cool or something like when some guy says "Next time there's going to be blood. REAL blood!" as opposed to blood that isn't real?

 

Or the popular to hate defense comittee scene or the Kid going "Everyone is dying". Fun fact it was even worse at some point. In a PC mod fans dug up another unused line where the kid goes "You can't defeat them all!". Note that's also a Nolan-like cliche, to write children as if they're very mature. I don't know what's up with that but I would guess that certain writers lack the common sense to recognize that childrens don't talk like adults.

No more repeating idioms. Example:

 

Hackett: ...I'll throw everyone who can hold a hammer at it

 

a little while later

 

Garrus: ...yeah, maybe someone who can hold a hammer

 

 

There are tons more examples of characters repeating lines from other characters, usually using really bad out of date north American slang.

This is a common issue as well where you can tell a writer is mistakenly reusing the good phrases they saved up for multiple characters and places. It's like how too many characters' most personal comment have to do with buying drinks. It's so boring and lacking in personality. Garrus says it, Jacob says it, James says it, I think even Tali says it, and they say it in Dragon Age Inquisition too.

 

Shepard also says "We fight or we die" at the end too if you pick renegade during his final speech. Also, Anderson in the opening says "...and so does the comittee" at the end of 3 consequtive lines of dialogue.

 

I've also noticed Mac is a fan of saying "in turn" a lot on twitter which ironically the Starchild said too.
