I thought to go through ME3 and write down every plothole I saw but i just gave up after Pavalen. Here are some: Pavalen: 1) Palaven cutscene: Why are the Repaers on the side of the planet and turians not. Also how can the turains afford to shoot indiscriminately since every miss will hit their planet. 2) Everyone can breathe on Menae? 3) How come that both the turians and salarians salute. It makes no sense that 3 completely different cultures light years apart developed the same way of showing respect especially since the salute developed from tipping your hat and we never saw a turain/salarian hat (only hoods). 4) Turians using Avengers instead of Phaestons. 5) How can Vega/Liara repair the tower? Since when is he/she an tech expert. 6) This works both for Tali and Garrus. They both have extremely high rank (Admiral/Higher than general) yet they both can afford to just walk away? This is a crude estimate but Tali should be in control of around 10 000 ships. 7) Liara knowing Victuses(?) history. Does she have enough free time to research random turian military personnel noting that there are no turian civilians? Also how can she manage both being the Shadow broker and research the archives?

Eden Prime: 1) Why isn't Cerberus immediately there protecting the dig-site and why do they only send 1 shuttle in the beginning. 2) How did Javik survive and but his fellow protehans didn't. I mean wasn't the whole point of the bunker defeated the moment the Repars found out its location. I would i think that they would systematically destroy every pod or they would pummel the place form orbit. And how come that Eden Prime is considered a garden world. If the Repears attacked there should have been evidence. 4) Why didn't they (protheans) just activate all the pods when they saw they were being overrun to fend off the attack? It makes no tactical sense to freeze people before the bunker is shut and secure and the military personnel should be the last ones in the pods. 5) Liara says they found Javik in a bunker yet in the vision the place doesn't look nothing like a bunker. It's very open and if it was a bunker I think they would be smart enough not to have multiple entry point yet Victory says there are multiple bulkheads (shouldn't Victory's name be Watchmen (or Vigil) or something like that). 6) Why did Cerberus leave that Eden Prime info lying around, and in other peoples computers?

General (and Mars): 1) Why are turians so focused on getting Korgan support? What can krogan do? I think that this is mostly (!) a space war not a ground war. 2) How can IM communicate with you on Mars? Does he have a personal QEC in the Mars archives and if so why? 3) How can the Reapers afford to lose even 1 Capital/Destroyer class ship. Every ship is a race and the loss of one seems catastrophic and also not very cost effective. 4) How exactly does EDI control the body. Unless she "deposits" a part of herself which is completely self reliant how can she control the body? 5) Are all Repears a collective or independent (Haven't played EC but read a little). Isn't each one of them a "individual"like a Geth dyson sphere (in the sense that 1 reaper thinks independently of a another reaper).

I'm not even going to mention on the Priority: Earth and the ending plotholes. There are more than this whole wall of text. I myself support the IT, and even if you ignore all the evidence ingame it's the only way to explain the Bioware artistic integrity bullshit.
