Sorry it's taken so long to reply. Been on the night shift...

"mirandaand jacob are on your side at the end of mass effect 2"

True, but both have reservations about The Alliance (inactivity, politics, beareaucracy, etc), so I don't think they'd be too happy if you're going out of your way to help them them. Dunno if they'd actually mutiny if you did, but I can but speculate.

"why would mordin in any scenario be against the krogan"

Maybe not; it's more of a point about the genophage cure which I'm sure Mordin would not want to use for obvious reasons rather than being against the krogan per se. I've not played ME1 yet, but from what I gather, Wrex is in favour of curing the genophage. Yes, he's more reasonable than most krogan, but I still think there is potential for the two to butt heads. Grunt doesn't really care about that....

"didnt tali and legion come to terms"

Yes, if you pull off the charm/intimidate option, and even so, to me there seemed to be lingering tension between the two. More to the point, with the Ad Board having a 2 vs 1 weight for offensive action against the geth (Shala being neutral) despite Legion revealing the true/heretic situation, which could screw everything up.

I raised these potentials just to give a 'balancing act' to the plot/game, linked in with the suggestions that everyone had already said. Just thought it'd make things more difficult/interesting.

Anyhow, the Council has always tried to shush up the reaper news (can't say if it's to 'keep the peace' and stop everyone getting in a tizzy, or just to make look like everything is under control and save face) ; even one landing on their doorstep didn't make any inroads.

Ralok, are you suggesting the Council would mke up that excuse specifically to try and discredit Shepherd?
