1. These are criticisms. I'm not going to lie and pretend this game is flawless. It's important to point out the flaws in games, especially the better ones. Picking at what is bad in a game is how they get better. If we ignore them and pretend they aren't there, then they won't ever improve.

2. I'm not sure what you mean by "they're's a lot of factors for them to consider". Saying they had to work on the plot is a terrible excuse. Shepard is the single most important character in the Mass Effect trilogy. Shepard is the most integral part of the plot; he isn't a septate component.

3. Him not responding to the Thresher Maw wasn't a major complaint in itself, but rather an example. Another example: When you are speaking to your squadmates during Priority: Earth, there is an extremely precarious turret section. It was totally out-of-place and detracted form the overall feel of the moment. Was this a major problem? No. It is however, a great example of how little effort went into the ending.

4. Yes, it was a great trilogy. We are disappointed because BioWare ruined it in retrospect. I'm not bashing on everything BioWare does, I'm calling them out on their mistakes. Art will never improve unless we criticise it.
