Until Mass Effect 3 came out.

RIP ME2, the best game of the generation.

I mean, it was obvious that he was a scumbag that was playing the reasonable man. Just look at Cerberus' actions in the first game.

No different from Asari, Salarian, Turian, Krogan e.t.c

They all have their means to an end. Just for insight, the reason why ME3 happened was because Asari wouldn't share the knowledge that would've INSTANTLY ended the war. Not leading to possibly billions of deaths.

Excluding ME3 portrayal of Cerberus and ME3, by then EA had indoctrinated Bioware too far. TIM was a visionary and people like Mordin (until he became a krogans play toy in ME3, completely degrading his species) agreed with his methods. He believed in the shepherd, devoted so much to a single person. That kind of devotion is poetic.

Yeah he and Cerberus were great until they turned them into mustache twirling villains. But that was the least of ME3's problems.

The reapers still would have ****ed up everyone.

Yeah, but if Crucible had been built well ahead of the invasion, since the Asari's had that tech for generations, they could've simply built the crucible, talked to star child, destroyed the reapers, controlled or joined them with organics, long before Reapers initiated the invasion.

Instead they chose to hide tech that WASN'T theirs and chose to play ignorance to Sheperd's claims of Reapers, when they knew full well.

Cerberus never should have been villains in ME3. They definitely shouldn't have been the *main* villains.

I get why they couldn't have you fight him, he's not the type who would fight you directly, he had such a proud demeanor even to the end unless you paragon talked him out of itbut still

Honestly, nobody should Paragon him at the end. His final line is probably the only redeeming thing about him in ME3

Exactly. That sudden shift in everything he represented, even with indoctrination? It just kills what remained of his character and one of the few points that shined in the last game.

Not to mention the reason Asari did this, was to maintain their dominance, it's like someone giving you ultimate power and you abused the fuck out of it, only choosing to let Shepered in on it after their planet was under attack.

The Asari high command should've been all jailed.
