3/4 of the game? I don't really agree with that. It's the last story mission you can do before starting Cerberus and not being able to do anything else. As well, everything falls to the Reapers after a certain point anyway so not a big deal. Also it wouldn't be too hard to just remove the Reaper entirely.

1) I agree. They missed a large opportunity to really show the different races reacting to the war. It should have been Shepard, Virmire Survivor, Thane/Another drell, Balak/Another batarian, Kirrahe/Another salarian, Grunt/Another krogan, Garrus, Liara, Javik,and Tali at the least. Maybe a vorcha. I'm OK with EDI as a replacement for a geth squad member. Also working on the ship should have been a volus, elcor and hanar. It wouldn't have been too hard to write supporting characters in the event that the named ones were dead in a players universe. Because they would have just been talking about the war. Anything else would have been extra dialog to show that they had survived previous games (Thane talking about Kepral's and his short time, Balak talking about failing to destroy Terra Nova and his history, Kirrahe talking about being promoted and working with STG, etc.)

What about that scene with Kai Leng? Easy, if Kirrahe was alive, you would have recruited him on Sur'Kesh and Thane would have strolled in to save the salarian Councilor and not die and that's when you recruit him. Kirrahe is a locked in squaddie for the mission just in case, that way he saves the councilor and still doesn't die. You would recruit the other drell after the fight on the citadel because of whatever reason.

2) I'm OK either way.

3) I agree about minor races but not planets. Can't land on Khar'shan, it's totally conquered. Can't land on Dekuuna, gravity is too high. Can't land on Irune because it's covered in ammonia. You could possibly get away with it though because of the armor anyway like other toxic worlds, but it still has a high pressure atmosphere. Kahje is 90% water. Might be neat but I feel it presents the same issue as Dekuuna. They wouldn't want to slow down the action by slowing player and enemies. Might have facilities that drain of water, and could give a cool look at drell fighting back alongside you. Why would we go to Rakhana? It's a barren wasteland. Suen, maybe, but if there is only one queen still, she isn't even on Suen as we know, so why go?

4) Yep. Still not sure why there were no Abominations or Scions or Praetors.

5) Can't say no to Lore.

6) Again no strong feelings but I wouldn't be opposed.
