Not really plot-holes just thing I've noticed, for instance, in ME Sovereign was able to a shoot lazer\hydro-metallic beams whatever(one of the reasons I liked the ME series was that they had detailed explanations in-game that sounded plausible, up until.. You know what) from every tentacle\arm whichever you prefer. While in ME3, a Reaper could only shoot one beam from its underbelly. And I know Sovereign could have been more advanced or something, but come on, he looks identical to the others.

Another thing is just why is Shepard so hung up on that one kid dying? I mean, Shepard can and will witness events far more traumatic, like watching good friend dying a horrific but noble death curing the Genonohavelivebabies, shooting said friend to stop him from doing that, and then killing another friend for performing the back-shoot action, watching girlfriend commit suicide as you singlehandedly allow genocide to happen to 17 million men, women, children, or having a casualty-high suicide mission that can be technically called a "success". Come on, don't tell me the chase scene through the woods didn't smack a little of pedophilia. Helga, even the decision on who leave on Virmire would have been more traumatic to Shepard, just having a walk through the woods while shadowy figures keep talking with the voices of those who have fallen keep slowly following you. TBPH I would have more emotion if it was Charr running through the forest and subsequently burning up. Whatever sad feeling BioWarEA wanted me to have as I watch the kid blow up is completely nonexistent, they apparently forgot they have a whole roster of characters many of which the player has already emotionally connected with that they could kill off. I should probably get myself checked out because watching that blow up fills me with nothing but rage with the fact that Shepard, regardless of his\her actions is apparently SO traumatized over the fact one kid died while there are billions of sentient beings being killed and processed. I know watching a person die IRL would be traumatic, but BioWarEA screwed up this execution worse than when Empire tried to execute the Dovahkiin.
