Did anyone else feel a bit disconnected from the main storyline? While I know that the game was supposed to focus on the building of your squad and gaining their loyalty, half the time it seemed more important to save someone's sister from pirates, rather than the galaxy. I am playing through for the second time now, so I am seeing the intricacy of the main story woven in, but still. It just feels... Distant.  The whole collector's are Reapers, Harbinger was controlling them, just didn't feel very shocking. Unlike Saren, there was no main villain. I mean, yes, Harbinger was the villain technically, but you don't think of it as Harbinger and the Collectors as you did for Saren and the Geth. 

The game just felt to be lacking that shock and awe value of the first game when you'd uncover clues to the mystery. The only moment I felt really pumped for was when the reapers were descending from dark space on the galaxy and I told the Illusive man, in more words or less, to shove it. And then they rolled the credits...

Personally, I think I time limit would be a cool way to make the game feel more intense. Like you must do A. or B. otherwise C. closes, but you can only do one or the other. Or if you don't do X. quest before Y. event/quest, then it you miss out. And while there is some sign of this being attempted, it's not very profound (in my opinion at least). Now, I understand there would be a LOT of complaints about this, but still, if you think about it, the game always sounds like your racing against the clock, yet you can spend 10 hours on Illium, make Omega identical to the Citadel, have dinner with Conrad Verner and still make it to through the Omega 4 in time. 

Any other opinions on the matter?

Didnt Kelly inform you?
This time around we are the C-Sec Special Forces! Fighting crime and offing gang leaders!. =D

Just kidding!. Truth be told your right, there wasnt much attachment to the story this time around. A good start and a good ending, everything inbetween sort of just went under the rug.

But thats how it usually go in a trilogy, 2nd always lack abit but the 3rd will make up for it!.

That's not always true. Case in point, Empire was the best of the original trilogy.

In your opinion.   Given the clerks dante hicks reasoning of "its most true to life" is irrelevant.   Storywise, it accomplishes less than ME2.  the only big reveal is Vader being lukes father, which at that point if you were around when empire was first released, easily could have been a lie.  Just like you cant take anything a reaper says at face value, could all be intimidation/terror tactics.   And the confusing fact that when the emperor and Vader talk about luke the infact refer to him as if he is Anakin skywalkers son in private.  I personally thought that was bad writing I mean give me a break I dont care if hes a sith now, its still his kid and you both know it, you didnt forget dont gimme this its anakins son crap when the two of you are speaking in private.
