[@majorasmask5523]

I firmly believe that Udina should have been redeemed in Mass Effect 3. Instead of betraying the Council, he should have sacrificed himself to stop the Coup attempt. I was so happy that he showed some emotion and sorrow at the start of ME3, and I was so mad that they wrote him to betray the Council.

[@Delimon007]

The coup made zero sense story wise imo.

[@ana_d_73]

This so much! He is so one note as it is. We hear that he's an excellent politician who would do anything for humanity, but it makes no sense that in the aftermath of Earth he'd side with Cerberus. Even if he had Cerberus ties up until that point, seeing the destruction they caused, and knowing what they'd been turning their soilders into he most likely would have noped out before the coup

[@02340djinn]

I agree, until his betrayal he was a clever politician and a complex character who were taking the ungrateful role for the common good. I was so disappointed of what BioWare did to Udina.

[@MM-id2fp]

Yeah, that would have been really nice. But this is Mass Effect, where every politician is an irredeemable person who's only there to get in Shepherd's way.

[@vikingsword3485]

He had so much potential but it was wasted

[@augustaseptemberova5664]

What ticked me off about Jacob was not that he's a bland character, or that he hooks up with someone else by the time of ME3 .. but the go he had at Thane for being an assassin = "just a precise mercenary with no loyalty" (or smth along those lines). Meanwhile .. Jacob, a soldier, broke his loyalty to the alliance because they didn't do things his way, only to become a mercenary for Cerberus / TIM, whom according to his own words, he doesn't trust - so there's no new loyalty here either. I was like, dude, you're such a hypocrite. I hate hypocrites. And from that moment I just couldn't stand being around Jacob.

[@TwinPeaksIndustries]

On one hand, Jacob does have a point. A merc is someone who takes money to fight someone else's fight. An assassin is someone who takes money for stealthily someone elses enemy, so there is at least some overlap. On the other hand, as a member of Cerberus and a fighter, Jacob is little more than a merc himself.

[@Johnny-Thunder]

It's very obvious to me that Jacob and Thane were to have a conflict like Miranda and Jack and Tali and Legion. But then Bioware scrapped that as they knew it wouldn't make sense. Yet that dialogue still made its way in.

The only kinda sympathetic batarian I can think of is the one in the background in the docks of the citadel talking to a human refugee. He starts like an ass, like pretty much every other batarian, while the human is telling his experience fleeing Earth, but eventually he opens up by telling him how he was fixing a satellite over Khar'shan when the Reapers hit, and they ended up becoming buddies

You gotta remember Batarians never stopped having slavery. It was completely normal to them so they were basically irredeemable.

I'll give you that one and add 3 more. Aria's second in command, the blue sun's gunship repair guy (even though he ends up"napping on the job", poor guy was just working way too hard and dropped),and maybe the dying Baterian in the plague zone. That one also starts off a complete ass, but if you help him out he changes his tune (at least for the Commander).

It's more fun to not punch Khalisah. Instead, crush her verbally multiple times and then turn her to your side, beat her at her own game. Kai Leng, though? No matter how Paragon you play, you always hit that Renegade prompt. And Bray is cool in my book. He does his job competently, works hard, and is relatively polite considering the circumstances.

[@Jikaila]

I totally agree for the renegade interrupt with Kai Leng. As soon as I found out what happens, and the voiceline for it. May every other action be totally paragon, Kai Leng gets the Interupt. For Thane. Sooo satisfying.

yes to both. and the batarian you save in the omega plague district has a cool conversation with you after, if you don't go straight back to the normandy, about how he appreciates what you did and respects you (or something along those lines). you sort of change his outlook on humanity as a whole. edit: oh and there are the batarians holding daniel hostage in that same mission. "human nobility. i didn't know such a thing existed." it's such an interesting line; how many humans do the batarians in the district interact with? how many humans are they willing to interact with, with all the tension on both sides and the paranoia of living on omega? it always makes me think...

Piling in m the Kai Leng hate. Every interaction I had with him felt scripted. The games tried so hard to make him seem formidable. Yet when you finally face him in the asari temple my fight was maybe 40 seconds of me beating his ass. After the first encounter he just wins and all I could think was “oh the game wanted him to escape”.

[@TwinPeaksIndustries]

I always love reading the moment in one particular fanfic, where Shepard ends him early by pulling the skycar up, crushing him between it and one of the presidium bridges.

[@masonwheeler6536]

Agreed. That trick worked in Final Fantasy IV, back in 1991 when the RPG genre as we know it was first being invented. Over 20 years later, when we had a firm understanding of what works and what doesn't... not so much.

[@zhiphius]

The difference between Kai Leng and Udina is that i genuinly dislike Udina, Kai Leng feels more like an annoying clown you cant do anything about cause "plot armor". The fight at the asari temple is the single one moment i despise in the entire trilogy. Speaking of Asari, the Asari counciler can eff it too XD she sat on the solution all this time and let shepard run around like a fool, the entire invasion might have had a much easier ending (if happening at all) if what the Asari knew was revealed.

[@Outlaw8908]

Yeah the game propping him up with plot armor, instead of actually making him a stain on the wall… Just irritated me to no end as well as having him around to kill Thane and possibly others.

[@michaelscott-joynt3215]

I feel the same way about Traynor. She has a ridiculous personality, a blob of cutesy nerdy ideas. She's like a sitcom; her idea of romance is a cyborg's voice makes her hot and she wants it, and it makes her jealous of Joker. Worse, she replaces Kelly Chambers, a deeply interesting tragic character. There was huge potential to develop Kelly further, but they bumped her for a cringy, fantasy dork who feels like the devs wanted something more shallow and diverse, as if people get tired and bored of RPGs and need a rest.

I remember watching an interview with one of the lead designers of the game and he actually went over some of the original ideas they had for squad mates with their initial designs.

This was scrapped obviously but it would have been really cool seeing another side to the Batarians, ones who didn’t buy into the propaganda and wanted to live their own life.

[@Tiff2Tiff]

Honestly having Wrex headbutt him makes Uvenk very likeable. He also represents a conservative krogan, which highlights Wrex's uphill struggle to turn them around. Also the idea of a krogan punching bag is fun. Gets headbutted by Wrex and possibly Shepard, then loses to Grunt. Lovely.

[@CABRALFAN27]

I mean, it would be cool in he was introduced in or replaced by a character from previous games, but he'd work even just as a new character for ME3 if he actually made sense. On the one hand, he's ex-N7 and pretty clearly being framed as a supersoldier on par with Shepard, but on the other, he's a space ninja who brings a sword to a gunfight and dresses like discount Nightwing. Either of those concepts could work for a villian, but not together. If he's meant to be an evil Shepard, then drop the sword and ninja aesthetic, and make him a tactical fighter whose boss fights play out like, well, the evil Shepard clone from the Citadel. They should be super hard, the kind that the player is meant to lose the first time around, but not completely unwinnable. If you do win, there should be a special cutscene of him still accomplishing his objective, but making a much narrower escape. This would make him feel like a proper threat that can actually go toe to toe with Shepard to the players that legitimately lose to him, while still giving a sense of satisfaction to the few who do manage to beat him. If you wanna go the space ninja route, on the other hand, that's fine (If a bit edgy), but he should never fight Shepard directly until he's forced to at Cerberus HQ. For instance, on the Citadel, as you try to get to the Salarian Councilor, he should always be one step ahead of you, leaving dead C-Sec officers and STG commandos in his wake for you to find, and you arrive just in time to see him kill Thane, Kirrahe, or Valern. On Thessia, he should just show up, deliver the Illusive Man's message, and once the conversation is over, have it be revealed that the Kai Leng standing there was just a decoy like EDI's, and he's actually been cloaked, stealing the Prothean data the whole time. By the time he reveals himself, he's already halfway to the exit, and orders the gunship to bring down the temple on top of you, no boss fight involved. He doesn't need to be a super deep character or have a personal connection to Shepard to be an effective villain, he just needs to be properly intimidating, feel like a proper part of the universe rather than an edgy self-insert, and most importantly, when he beats Shepard, make the player feel like they lost to him rather than to the cutscene.

And you can say something like 'maybe now you'll understand that not all humans are that bad.' So that one also seemed sort of nice and redeemable to me.

Tbh I think the betrayal does make a lot of sense even with the amount of writing it got.

What Cerberus’ plan offered would basically shunt humanity into being the head honchos of the galaxy, which aligns with Udina’s motivations perfectly.

My thoughts, as I'm playing through ME3 right now: -Udina would have been better if they didn't heel-turn him into being a traitor. I feel like a paragon Shepard was starting to build a respectful relationship with him by early ME3. -Gavin Archer isn't on the list, but they really made Shepard hate him in ME3 without much input from the player. What he did was awful but in the Paragon Overlord aftermath David is safe and Gavin was busting his ass to redeem himself. He even kills himself if you don't take care of David or lie and say you don't when you did.

But then in ME3 they just make him act like an unlikable dumb zealot.

You know, I had a weird experience with Wreav. My first entry in Mass Effect was actually the second game, and since that was well before the release of the DLC allowing you to set up your choices, it means my first playthrough was in that "Shepard did everything wrong" universe - including Wrex being dead. As such, I got to meet Wreav here. I was also playing in French at the time, and I felt his voice here was great. Almost soft-spoken, but you can feel the undercurrent of menace. He came across as legitimately scary at times. And then I played in English, and realized that oh, he was just a dumb brute. That was quite the mood whiplash.

The only "redemption" for Kai Leng is that if you did things correctly he has a full edgelord breakdown in the final fight, with Shepard mocking him for constantly running away. The VA does a great job where Kai sounds like he's angry and in tears as he screams at you to shut up.

I was expecting Diana Allers to make the list. She replaced Emily Wong, a minor, but interesting character in the prior two games, who had some appearances in the outer media too, showing she had a presence, and was setup to be one of the better reporter types, a counter to the one mentioned in the list. However, in order to make the game more appealing to critics EA decided, in their infinite stupid, that this game, like a few others had done, would need to have a character voiced by a game reviewer, to make the reviewers less likely to trash it, lest they inadvertently anger their friend who was part of the project. BTW, that is NOT speculation, EA's memos leaked a while back, and they admitted in their that each game needed it, as they had good luck with it. Whether that had an effect on Mass Effect 3's...interesting reception Critic Vs. Player is anyone's guess, but hey, it probably didn't hurt the first side of that one. Anyway, we got Diana, and Emily was killed via a twitter thread. It wasn't a terrible one, BTW. If you never read it(I think it's gone now, and I couldn't find the archive), basically it gives a first person viewpoint on the Reapers taking a world, and then, at the end, Emily, knowing she's going to die, climbs into the news vehicle and gives one last report. 'Okay you monsters, you wanna know about humans!? Well here's how we die! At RAMMING SPEED!!!' It's pretty badass..it does not make up for how dirty she was done.

After many play throughs, I finally think I understand Jacob. He’s not a bad guy, despite cheating on FemShep. It’s just that he sees himself as the main character instead of one of Shepard’s sidekicks. Note his quick honesty with Shepard in the beginning, his bragging about being a Corsair, his volunteering to handle the ducts, and his rescuing the Cerberus scientists. He’s clearly brave and selfless, but also seems to want more recognition of that. He seems to chafe at Shepard’s efforts to chat him up and be buddies. That’s realistic.
