Well I guess I'll start off with characters. When you read enough books, and wrote enough, play enough games, or watch enough TV series, then when you hear a story such as Samara's and Miranda's you just catagorize them like other backstories. I've never had to chase after my own daughter to kill her or have my father genetically modify me, so I don't have any empathy with these characters, only sympathy, which is only a one dimensional feeling towards a character. Miranda never goes through any personal changes throughout ME2, she either sleeps with you after her loyalty mission or just says thanks. You didn't even solve her daddy issues, you solve them in ME3. I fail to see how the Lazarus Project, aka the mission, has to do with Jack. EDI is a fine character, I have no qualms with her. Jacob is probably the most bland character Bioware has ever made. I know what a good character is, I could spend several pages discussing what makes a good character. Anyways, moving onto the genophage. Looking at it, does having either leader affect how you get the Krogan in your army? No, you follow the same steps, with very little dialouge differences. The future of the Krogan really is irrelevant, since it isn't brought up in the epilouge so it's only speculation. As for the Queen, I've said before, if you shift alignment between games then it's your own fault that things fall apart. I never had a characte die unintentionally in those games, so I don't know the feeling of anguish that you might have had. Finally Grunt. Okay, if he's the future of the Krogan, why isn't this ever brought up after his introduction? Why doesn't Wrex let Grunt mate with every female if he's the future of their race, but that's not what the Krogan storyline is about.
