Well according to The art of Mass effect the kid is supposed to reapresnt ( i know i spelled wrong) everyone Shepard coulden't save so the reason the Catalyst takes the form of the kid is beacuse it's a metaphor for... stuff. I agree do. I always play as an paragon but it was still nice to see the kid die so it dosen't turn into some ridiculous story device for how horrible the war is and stuff. The reason Bioware put that kid in is becuse it will look good in the reviews. That scene could have been emotional if they had killed of some character you know like anderson.
