not once did I end up dealing with consequences I couldn't predict.
So that means the objectives were clear, well presented so that you can understand what's required of you, and the game did not lie to you either, so in the end you made an informed choice.
It is a piece of crap game indeed, I see it now.

I love how you picked out the two posts in a 3 page thread that you can turn into an argument, but ignored the rest.
The romances are still terribly written and not up to par to the rest of the game(s). You read the thread, so you know why I think so. One assistent turning you down doesn't make the possible romances any better.
I did pick a few out of many, for a couple of reasons:
1. They are valid.
2. I didn't think it appropriate to comment 2pages worth of ideas from another thread here; I can do it and we can discuss about it there.
Until then, one assistant turning me down is one step closer to that thing done right that better reflects the real world.

Anyway, I guess it is my problem. Maybe I shouldn't have read all those mediocre books, that way I wouldn't be spoiled by all these decent characters with their development and shit. Then I could truly apprecciate Mordin and Samara!
And perhaps, then I could make posts like you too. Respond to legitimate quarrels with something that boils down to "Well I like it because I like it!".
But alas, I watched to much good TV, played to many good games and read a few good books, so I guess that is not going to happen.
When I started with "I like it", I followed with an argument.
If you read your books as well as you did this post, it's clear how much you understand out of them.
Let me save you the trouble and quote myself:
" I also enjoy the geth, at first they reminded me of the algae from Herbert's Pandora trilogy. "
See? An argument! Do you understand how it works?
Saying "I read good books and watch good TV, thus this is shallow." is different.
What exactly is shallow in it? What are you comparing it with that was done better?
I could fall back to generic and vague moral statements like yours as well: "I too read good books and, in the light of that, you post is not good."
However, that is not a proper way to sustain your point of view.

Broken metaphor, you can't compare a game of football to a fictional story about whatever.
I am, of course, as any reasonable person would guess, comparing nothing.
I am saying that by shitty telling, anything can be made uninteresting.
"It starts, some shit goes around, then it ends."
Mass Effect.
Game of football.
Story of your life.
Of mine.
Of Earth.
The fact that they're different, yet they sound the same when told in your fashion, only strengthens my point.
