Listening to Zaeed story is what makes me not picking him as the squad leader of the second team. In every story, everyone dies but him.

I actually killed thane in my first me2 playthrough. I mean that ventilation sneaking thing seemed all about him. I knew It's gonna be dangerous but wasn't he just boutta die anyways

[@SUpersaiyajinjerkbag]

The game mechanics are bullshit, because they punish you for picking anyone even slightly out of class (like Mordin not technically being a technician, more of a doctor and scientist, doesn't work as a tech expert despite being older, tougher, quicker smarter and a more experienced researcher than Tali, and also a former spy), yet also punish you for picking Zaeed, even though he was an officer.
All the other "officers" had flaws too; but they qualify more on the basis of being officers than on the basis of being perfect leaders (even Garrus had drawbacks as a leader)
The loyalty mechanics are also bullshit because they don't allow you to change your decision for picking the wrong leader.

[@TheGIJew.]

@@SUpersaiyajinjerkbag Mordin's a biologist. Tali's a technician. It's not a "general science" thing, it's very explicit that you need to pick a tech expert. And I admit I was upset about Zaeed at first, but the guy who posted the original comment makes a good point. Every time Zaeed tells a story, it involves a bunch of people on his squad ending up dead.

​@@raylast3873I know this reply is a couple years later, but think about it for a second. Normally guns in Mass Effect shoot high speed projectiles that are about as big as grains of sand.
Which means calling a gun in ME a peashooter would have the opposite effect and definition, since it would imply the gun is MORE devastating than average, based on the fact that a pea is WAY bigger than a sand particle.

Hey! Jacob has the looks and charm. But if it makes you feel any better, I heard he likes someone already. I'm gamed for anything, although I consider Shep a good friend.

[@raylast3873]

So in ME2, after his loyalty mission, Jacob offhandedly claims that “Miranda deserves a better man than him” and I was like “really, bro, that’s a total lie”, as while I like Miranda she is neither a paragon of virtue nor the easiest person to be around and so coming from (apparent) all-around paragon Jacob, that statement makes no sense.
Then we get to ME3, where if he was romanced, no matter what he drops Femshep like a brick, gets with a new girl in less than 6 months AND refuses to even discuss the possibility that this might have been kind of a dick move.
And now I’m like: yeah, ok, Jacob was right, Miranda deserves someone better because he turned out to be a total asshole and pretty much every woman deserves someone better.

[@howaboutno3575]

I don't understand some of there opinions, such as garrus or the justicar (can't ever spell her name, so we will call her samful).
anyway, what I don't understand is how they talk about the citadel as if its rough and impoverished.
BUT ITS THE CITADEL!!!!!!
its the capital of the galaxy, the game goes out of it's way, especially in the first game, to show you how perfect, beautiful and wonderful it is! there is no crime or as samful calls it "injustice" on the citadel, there is no rough areas, there is nothing negative about it.
I don't understand why they speak like its a horrible place, just take a walk around the presidium and you know how impeccable that place really is

[@DissedRedEngie]

actually they don't try to make it seem perfect. well kind, they designed the Citadel to look like a perfect place, but from the first to last game you are shown imperfections of the Citadel: crime that gets willingly unnoticed, corrupted politicians, illegal AI, shadow broker agents, gampling, homeless people and I swear that one hanar can't be selling legal stuff.
the game only tries to make you think that the Citadel is perfect only when you are at the presidium, which is where the rich people live.

[@howaboutno3575]

I don't think you understood the theme of the game (at least with the citadel).
a good accurate explanation of the citadel is given by a volus in the first game (bol a von, I think he is called) he basically says the presidium is a wonderful place were races meet to work together symbolizing how far each race has come and cooperates. he also says the wards are multi cultural amazement.
I think you got the citadel mixed with illum

[@DissedRedEngie]

and you have seemed to forgotten that there are orphans living in the airducts, some of which get killed in there without no one knowing. The Citadel more complex than what some volus says about it, a lot of unseen/untalked about shit goes down behind (or even in front of) the public.

[@howaboutno3575]

I don't understand. This is the citadel, it's an utopia! its meant to be a perfect combination of multiculturalism and political greatness.
crime, orphans and poverty just don't happen at the citadel.

[@DissedRedEngie]

Joshua Ames-stewart well either the people saying it is an utopia are lying or the people who have witnessed all the imperfections are lying. I'm putting my money on thane instead of a random volus.
