He came off as pretty lame. He was incredibly easy to beat and only 'won' because he gets bullshit immortality. But I still cheered when I killed him so I guess he worked as an loathsome douche at least. And I loved Thessia as well. From what I can tell people just hate being forced to lose to Kai leng's bullshit. I agree with that because that boss fight was awful, but other than that Thessia was amazing. I really liked talking to Liara after that as well as Shepards reaction as well. Very well handled.
I like the idea that there's a recurring physical adversary for Shepard, someone who proves his worth by killing
Spoiler:, defeating
Thane
Spoiler:, and swatting
Miranda
Spoiler:aside like a fly, but they didn't do enough with Leng that could have made him a memorable baddie.
Liaria
As far as Thessia goes,
Spoiler:as opposed to just losing a teammate really sells the idea that no matter how badass you are, you're still the underdog.
Shepard canonically losing a mission
Maybe.
Thane's fighting skills certainly didn't seem to suffer, though I do remember he said he wouldn't be of use to Shepard for the duration of the mission.
That said, I openly prefer enemies who help take a bit of the piss (to borrow a weird English expression) out of Shepard and the good guys. Makes their story and their struggle more compelling for me.
The popular idea that Shepard could solo the galaxy makes part of me sad.

Exactly. I love the idea, if only he wasn't just a posturing arrogant kung-fu guy it would have worked better. An awesome idea I heard was to replace him with a clone of Shepard, maybe even a gender-flipped version. That would have been ****ing cool as hell, and would even have added to Shepards
Spoiler:I can imagine having a badass 1 on 1 duel with your clone with their class matching yours, a biotic-charge slugfest as a Vangaurd, singularity spam as an Adept, etc. Damn, I wished they'd have done that.
thing at the end where she starts to question if she's the real Shepard.
Dat 1:30.

Comments like this and a few others here and at RoK still make me question how much of your analysis of the game is firsthand and how much is hearsay or influenced by immersing yourself in reviews both before and after playing the game.
But people ***** about Rannoch because they couldn't save both races
Those people royally suck. Keeping both parties alive was amazingly easy, unless you were a mindless renegade.

Is it possible that anyone can articulate an opinion that differs from yours without responses suggesting they're irretrievably biased, completely dishonest, or part of a grand conspiracy to tarnish the otherwise pristine reputation of the finest video game ever made?
