Although I still HATE Horizon, I agree, there was nothing that Shepard said in that scene that gave Kaidan or Ashley a reason to abandon the Alliance and go to work for Cerberus. I'm pretty confident that the Virmire Survivor has not forgotten the threat of the Reapers, but it's reasonable that they haven't forgotten the horrible things that Cerberus does, too. If I could have taken my Shepard to the Alliance and gotten my position back, I would have done so immediately. It was horrible writing and railroading that prevented this, and didn't even explain *why* we couldn't even try to work with the "good guys".
They most likely left most of the details out of the game for the new players, otherwise it makes little sense to me. Too much of a background story could have scared away new players who had to deal with dialogues trying to find answers to problems they didn't even know were important.
This is why I don't like making each game stand on its own in a trilogy so it appeals to both old and new fans. For Bioware's sake I hope the whole shooter with babes feel of ME2 got them a lot of new fans, because it sure made them loose a few points in my eyes.
I wanted more information, more of a continuation of the story we started in ME1. I felt like a bloody hero at the end of ME1, was so damn proud of my Shepard. Then ME2 came and Shepard dies, which was a bitter pill to swallow but we're also forced to work with an organisation I spend a great deal of time fighting in ME1 without any explanation as to why the Alliance is no longer an option. Sure, people in the game keep telling you they left the Alliance because after Shepard dies they did nothing etc etc. But that's third party information. I wanted THEM to tell ME why. Just because Shepard rolled off the operation table with a Cerberus stamp on her ass, doesn't mean she IS Cerberus. I find it lazy writing to just make everybody else in the universe believe you are working for Cerberus without even giving Shepard a way of explaining herself. Not to the man she loves or even her own mother.
But again ME2 is about the new characters with a new fighting system on a new Normandy. With a Shepard I often don't recognize as that hero I grew to love in ME1. That became even more obvious on Horizon. Not only do we deal with a Shepard we ourselves have to justify in some way to make it tolerable, but we also see Kaidan suffer from being the generic Virmire survivor AGAIN. As if the phoenix armor wasn't enough. The whole scene could have been so devastating if Shepard was at all believable, but she's not. She's generic Shepard with simple dialogue so new players don't feel left out. Kaidan acts like he's supposed to, Shepard is just reading her lines.
I think you stated it perfectly Jho, especially the part I put in bold is what really annoyed me.
Everyone knows where I stand on Horizon, I wanted to strangle my own toon for the words coming out of her mouth.
