"Such bullshit is worse than the collector base being at the doorstep of a supermassive black hole, which was annoyingly unrealistic and unexplained."

Actually, when it's revealed in Mass Effect 2 where the Collector Base is, Shepard and Mordin theorize that the Collectors have advanced technology to protect their ships and base from the dangers of the galatic core.

Also, the entire point of Synthesis is that it bases the changes on Shepard's own body, which is a combination of organic and synthetic material.

I really don't get why people think that the Crucible should be a magical device that tailors its functionality perfectly to the person who activates it so that they get choices that they consider to be perfect.
