Hi there.

I finished the game today at 04:32, then went to bed. I've been playing this game non stop for three days straight.
I really liked the game, I had a lot of options and I could finally custom paint my armor! 
What I didn't like though, was that I was stuck with my pre-order armor or the N7 armor. Yes, I could tweak the N7 armor a bit, but not that much. Still it was great to finally get a personal touch to it.

Now I have a complaint about my companions. You can't change their armor. In Mass Effect 1, I would buy armor for all my companions so they looked a like, much like a special ops team. My whole crew would be in red and black armor, it really made me enjoy that game more because (even though it isn't canon) I could make up small sub stories to the game, while I played it. In Mass Effect 2, the only thing you could do there and that's after you complete the said companions quest, then you can swap their clothes... to another colour. 

And whats up with Garrus? Okay, he got beaten down by a big space ship, understandable that his armor would be wrecked. But wouldn't it make sense to repair that armor, or buy a new one? I thought it was only temporarily untill I would complete his mission, so I could cycle appearences, then he would get a full non broken armor. Nope, that wasn't the case, it was still beaten up and ready to scrap. My Shepard and Garrus was the bests of friends in Mass Effect 1 and 2, and I had a lot of money. I could just have bought him a new one, my Shepard might be an arse (Renegade) in the games, but he always looked out, and was very polite to his team. 
In fact, the reason that Garrus looked like a drive by victim through the whole game, made me decide to not take him on missions. I know it's silly, I should take him with me if I want to for his skills and personal input to various conversations. But the fact that he was bandaged and so forth, made me decide not to. I had to make up a small subplot to support why I didn't. Such as my Shepard didn't wanted to look like his team was made up of cripples with guns.

My next complaint is about the Citadel, the city as a whole, the Council (Yeah, I saved them bastards... Damnit) and Mr. Anderson (Is that right? It's the Military man that I appointed to have a seat in the council)

The city was a little confusing to run around in, and I really missed that I couldn't buy new weapons, only upgrade them. If I wanted a fully black armor, I would have red and white weapons on my back. Please if we can't buy new weapons, let us atleast colour them. I would imagine that Shepard knows, or know someone who knows how to work a brush. I missed walking around in the Presidium, visit the consort, the old clubs and the old C-Sec office.

Now the Council, I only got to meet them once? I died, got my white arse blown up in space, reconstructed for over two years, come back with a big nasty (and awesome) scar in my face, looking like an Axe Murderer, and the only person who seems to give a crap is that annoying reporter that I helped in the first game... I slapped her around if you were wondering... That was fun.
Anyway I'm getting off topic, the Council. They just say "Oh you're back?... Thanks for saving our hides that day, now would you please back off and leave?" what happened to the Council missions? I'm a Spectre, even when I was hunting down Saren I was always had to report something to them, in this game they were like "We're sick, and won't be able to answer any calls for the next couple of days". That didn't bother me that much, but when I found out I kind of regreted that I didn't let them die in space.

But I'm still a Spectre right? They said so, so I thought "Cool, let's find that Spectre shop I always stepped by when I was in town in the last game" why is that gone? All I have now is some hunting shop, where a Turian made me do a silly commercial. Even though he was very polite.

And what about Mr. Anderson (That millitary dude) I would imagine he would riverdance on the table, book a time at the consort (for Gods know why?) and throw a party for me, when he found out that I was alive... Well, my Shepard was. But nope, he sat in the corner acting all cool like John Travolta in Grease. Only wanting to talk about the massive paper work he got, and the emo kid Ashley who acted like she had her period when I met her.

Lack of family intereaction, my Shepard is a space born, and as far as I know his parrents are still alive. I got to speak with Shepards mother only once in the old game, and that's because some bum tried to get my hard earned money. I thought to myself "Okay, his mother and father are in the millitary, they might not have much time to talk" and didn't thought more of it in the first game.
When I launched Mass Effect 2, I met an awesome cinematic and got blown to pieces, buhuu Shepard died Mother and Father grief and moves on. But now he is back from the dead, did a late Jesus Walk. What kind of Son does not contact his parrents when he comes back from the dead?  Maybe he forgot it? Well what ran through Shepards head when he helped Jacob doom his perverted father, or when he helped Tharus (That assassin guy) reconnect with his son? And it isn't because Shepards parrents are dead, I was standing around in the Citadel all cool like, with my crew and listened to the news broadcast and there was a mention of a Captain Shepard (There was a girl name in between, and remember it though) who refused a promotion so she could keep commanding a ship, and mentioned that was the best way to respect her sons legacy.
 
Please, let me see some tears, hugs and "Dad, want to play Spaceball?" Atleast let him call them to speak with them, because surely they know he is alive when the Human News Network will broadcast the "Shepard Rages!" story, where you see him punch down that annoying reporter over and over again, while he screams "PWNED NUBCAKE!" Shouldn't his mother be the slightest shocked and say "Bad boy!" ?

Lack of hard choices, I didn't meet any hard choices in this game really. It was either "Do as Cerberus says, or not... What ever we don't care." my hardest choices was actually the decisions if I should either bed Miranda or Jack (I settled for Miranda in this playthrough) the other choice was if I should blow up the Collector station or not, and that was only hard because I thought of the effects of it in Mass Effect 3. And since the Repears are making a big thing out that we're using their technology I thought "Screw that, time to make our own and stop borrowing it."

Lack of intereaction with old team mates, something was missing... I don't know what, but something wasn't there.

Now theres only minor small complaints left, stuff I can live with. I really loved having that personal secretary, and it bothered me that she got reduced to black liquid. You know how hard it is to get good help these days? Only way I find another psychologist / secretary with a big enough death wish to join Shepards crew, is if I tube breed a Krogan and implant fussy pictures of Barbie dolls into his brain, and learn him ballet while reciting the book "How to be a good wife" where I've scratched over the wife and spelled "Secretary" underneath.
I'm getting off topic, it bothered me she died but what the heck. She only really reminded me to check my mail, and I never check my mail so that was a great help, I really enjoyed the random letters I got, like the one from the psycho killer. Couldn't EDI like take over that job? She is a big damn computer, with a very, very annoying voice. Can't a super computer be tweaked to let Shepard know he has incoming mail?

Also, why does all VI's in every game I've played, well almost. Have a female voice? Let me recite a few, HALO, Fallout 3: Anchorage, this game. Also a lot of movies has it. 
Who is the perverted man who got that idea? They always try to sound so sexy, if Joker can get a mute buttom why can't I? Or atleast tweak EDI to speak with a male voice, so it doesn't sound like I'm having a conversation with the nerd from the front row in class. Then I could also call the computer James, and drink scotch with a British Accent.
But really, her voice was a pain in the arse. Always speaking about stuff, and if I ran into a sector she would cease talking because she thought it was more important that I heard what that Krogan in the corner meant about my High Heels and stockings.

That's it actually, now the things I would like to have seen in this game, which hopefully will be in Mass Effect 3.

Barber shops, I know them alien races doesn't grow hair. Which is a bit weird actually. But theres a lot of humans in the galaxy (Are we breeding like rats, Bioware?)
I would imagine that some French guy would think it was a great idea to
open a barber shop. And I would totally give him a high five, and spend
half of my fortune in there.

Presents, Shepard is a big player. Well, he isn't really, but if he tries to be polite towards women they tend to want to bed him. I remember this one time in Mass Effect 1, I visited the consort because she had to do that mind thing on him. So I was polite, so I could get that brain treatment and suddenly they were getting it on while Garrus and Ashley was watching. That surprised me a bit, didn't see that one coming. Anyhow, presents. Shepard are dating a lot of girls these days, and why not let him shower them with presents? I got too much money at the end of the game, now that I've got no one to persue before Mass Effect 3. Perhaps some flowers for Miranda, some vitamin pills for Tali and a gift card to the local tattoo artist for Jack. There could be many things.

Also why can't I bring them to romantic places? Miranda would probably love to go to some sort of concert. Tali would be over joyed to be let loose in the pharmacy for more vitamin pills, and a Thai Boxing match for Jack?
Oh and more casual wear, something that does not look like a Pirate space outfit, or an admirals uniform. I know it's the future, and nothing beats a Suit. I want to do my Gangster walk down Presidium Lane in a black suit with grey stripes. Saying "What up?" to everyone he passes.

More cities, to hang out in. Just a thought... Why not let us visit Earth? Does the Eiffel tower still stand? Do we got some new World Trade Centers (Well, in this case Universe Trade Centers). Are the Pyramids dusts yet, or have some rich guy made them into the craziest hotels? What about the little Mermaid in Denmark, is her head cut off again? There doesn't need to be any quests there, though I wouldn't mind if there were, but let us visit other places than the Citadel and Omega. Perhaps buy a crib, and let MTV step by.

Music, do they only listen to poorly made slow techno in the future? No offence to the guys who have created the Mass Effect music, but I don't like it. I'd imagine that Rock havn't died yet, Jazz, Pop music etc... Also try to make a deal with DJ Tiesto for Mass Effect 3, I pretty sure he can whip something crazy together. So when we charge into battle, or kicking it on the ship, there will always be some kind of suiting music for the occasion.

Dancing, why can't any men in Mass Effect dance? They just move their shoulders, trying to look like 50 Cent, while a girl next to him is going crazy like if she was on ecstacy. Let the men look cool to, and less like wankstas.

That's what I can think of for now, I might edit this topic if I remember something. Now to the part you guys have been waiting for (I'm speaking to the developers) the things I liked.

The combat, JESUS H. CHRIST AND VIRGIN MARY TOO, Daaaaaamn you did a good job. I've never had such a fun time shooting someone in the face, blowing them up or beating them down than I have in this game. Only thing you guys missed was, more gore. In my bloodlust, I noticed that people didn't actually blow up, loose limbs and the walls didn't get painted red when I shot a rocket at them as a killing blow. But who cares anyway, It's not like I'm going to stand around there for ever, though I might stop up after the battle and admire the view and scream "Hell mofo yeah"

The conversation system, the way I can just interupt people like I'm Kanye West? Awesome! Going in and say "Yo, (Who ever) Imma' let you finish, but let me punch you in the face first" All I need now is a little midget walking around everytime I upgrade my ship, to say "Yo dawg, I herd you liked guns, so we put a gun in your gun, so you can shoot stuff up while you're shooting stuff up"

The story, as always a damn good job. Just a little dissapointed that the the Council was hating on me throughout the game. But as always damn good job on the story, buy your writers a beer for me. I'll pay it back if I ever meet you.


That's about it, I'll add more if I can.

Sincerely yours, me.
