But the reason Shepard puts up with the way Cerberus are towards him is because he isn't thinking of his own selfish feelings. He knows that Cerberus ARE the only ones who he can use to help humanity from the Reapers, since the council are busy scratching their behinds. Shepard's one of my preferred characters across the board. But i guess it depends how you play the game the way the character will come across to you. But ONE THING annoys me with Shepard, at leas male Shepard. Almost every individual battle, he states the obvious after 4 or 5 shots returned after he fires, with "They've seen us".
