Any arc. Most of the romances were good, if a little half-baked. We needed more of that.

Saying something isn't anyone's fault doesn't reconcile the problems with the game. I'll give you an example. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is very short. It's kinda light on content. Considering the development hell it went through though, it's amazing it came out at all and as good as it is. However, it's still a very valid criticism. The same is true here. You can give Shepard more of a personality and character arc, and even if you can't, it doesn't matter. Static protagonists are boring.
