It's certainly good that the sequel did that, but it didn't do much of anything to further the "stop the Reapers" plot, which is what the entire trilogy was about. It's filler in comparison.

I would be able to accept it, if the asteroid thing was subverted. The game needed to explain why this time is different. Half of the retcons/plot holes in the game could have been solved with a little more exposition.
