User blog comment:RS Kossery/Your thoughts on the Illusive Man/@comment-1900300-20111104010740

I always felt annoyed at ME3 turn Cerberus into villans. I dont like Cerberus or TIM, I didnt like how many people were all for them after they brought you to life and gave you a ship. But at least the moral conflict they brought was good. Is it right to accept the help of those you dont aggree with to achieve a common goal? How far will you compromise your principles if the whole galaxy rested on it? This was good stuff and it worked because Cerberus was not a faceless army of henchmen, TIM was not a laughing madman. It was subtly and anyone who has played a DOA game know sublty in video games is a miracle.

Then they are the bad guys. . . . . . All that conflict, all that moral compromise and challenging issues just thrown away. It is a common thing in entertainment, particularly comic books. The hero wont kill, his enemy kills a lot of people. Then another hero does kill the enemy and everyone is happy. Does the hero question if his unwillingness to kill is altheritic or selfish? does this mean he is not really a hero, as a hero must take on the horrors of the world so others dont have to? NO! The murderer goes nuts and the heros way of doing things is validated. ITS A COP-OUT PEOPLE!!

The Illusive Man in particular i dont get in ME3. He is a xenophobic killer, but he is also a magnifactant b!#$@#$t, a genius. So why is he turning on Shepard? Why has he signed on with the Reapers? I at least felt he would be smart enough to kill Shepard after the Reapers were beaten. but no hje acts like an idiot. They better have a good explainion for this. A better one then "the Reaper control him" Lame
