You know Milkma, I think I might disagree on that second point for the sake of added realism. While the kind of punishment that is offered by the IT is both pointless and goes way too far, I would have wanted to see some of the sidequests in ME1 and 2 having realistically negative consequences. For instance, if you do the anti-merc side missions in ME2, the Blue Sun and Blood Pack assets are weakened as a result.
