I wouldn't necessarily call Jacob bland. Maybe not as exceptional as Garrus, but he seemed alright. The Liara romance was quite meaningful to me. I suppose the Human Reaper's more suited to ship combat while the colored endings were alright (great in Synthesis' case) and the Virmire decision is okay, but I would've liked it better if both Ash and Kaidan were added for the final battle. Then again they chose not add Nyreen permanently or introduce Randall. Kai Leng may have needed some work, but he and Saren did fight as bosses alongside their lackeys. As for the behind the scenes villain, are you talking about mysterious, twist villain or a villain who never fights? Maybe you should see The Wolverine. It's twist villain was quite stunning with an epic scene theme to go with it. An upgradable ship would be good, if it was useful for gameplay and story purposes, but I doubt we'll get to name it.
