my Shepard looks really tired; got rid of those scars though
Also, some guy named Kaiden has been mentioned as being dead a few times; was he anyone important?
One of your squad mates in the first game, at the end you had to choose whether he or Ashley Williams died. To be honest I've found the ME2 characters so much more compelling, aside from Garrus and Tali who've been top notch from the start.
If you're going to put them side by side then the ME2 characters are way more developed, considering 70% of the plot is gathering your team and making them loyal.
That's the one noticeable neg I think. The second half of the plot could stand to be a bit longer.

I'm not gonna lie, going back to ME1 after playing through a very big chunk of ME2 is hard. Especially when I started with ME2. The unpolished parts just really leap out at me and it all feels so much more sluggish. I'll probably just stick with ME2 and see what I can get out of that.
I'm going to do another runthrough, with my intention on doing anything I missed the first time round and with a new class.
Still going to be renegade. I can't face the idea of playing it again and being a Paragon. Just nowhere near as much fun.

Oh my god have you seen Thane's letter to Lady Shepard if he's your romance?
Shadow Broker Spoilers
Siha,
I write this with a heavy hand, knowing you will read this letter when I am no longer able to share my thoughts. I am dying, Siha. Perhaps because of the differences between our species, I can hope that time will treat you with kindness and dim the hurt of my passing to faded recollections that a drell would forever remember with perfect clarity.
Selfishly, however, I could not leave this world without leaving a piece of me behind that would never fade.
I once accepted my fate. Nothing remained but a shell destined to die. I only had to choose the when and how of my passing. I had refused to be confined to a bed, gasping horribly as my life beeped away to machinery I had no use for. I thought of my Irikah, broken, bloodied, and betrayed by my absence. Of Kolyat, small and afraid, bravely pushing at his eyes to stem the flow of tears I had entrusted to him to cry... for both our sakes.
The expectation to move swiftly to my end vanished upon uniting with your cause. You awoke me, Shepard. My heart quickened its sluggish beat if only to remain at your side and protect you with everything that I am. I was content to simply watch, take the time left given and praise all I know for allowing me to walk my final days with hope and certainty that I am worthy of more than my cold isolation, solely because you believed.
I love you. If all else whispers back into the tide, know this for fact. By grace given me by the Goddess Arashu, I bid her divine protection to you, my warrior-angel, my Siha, to succeed in your destiny. To light your path through the coming darkness. To give you hope, when all seems lost.
So do all of your squadmembers make you feel as bad for destroying the base as giving it to TIM?
Like even Miranda and Grunt have something to say what the hell.
Basically the opposite.

All of your crew members support blowing it to hell.
I would have kept it if it was just meshep being meshep and I could share the findings with the other races
But between giving it to TIM or blowing it up, that shit is gone

The other races (specifically the Council) wouldn't really use it for the proper purposes anyway. Cerberus at least will use it to give Shepherd an edge against the Reapers. At least initially. I have no doubt they'll fuck up with it afterward, but we'll deal with that when it happens.

Nah, when it comes to Operation Lazarus they've pretty much been spot on. And my Shepherd gets things done no matter the cost. He'll deal with the pro-human terrorist organization after dealing with the ancient robotic army bent of wiping out all life in the Galaxy for the umpteenth time.

-Thresher Maw studies
-Rachni Enslavement

-Failure at the Derelict Reaper
-PROJECT FUCKING OVERLORD TECHNOLOGICAL APOCALYPSE JESUS CHRIST
Ignoring those choice samples (and, seriously, I swear project Lazarus is Cerberus's only successful operation- thank God for narrative necessity), Shepard has proven himself capable of dealing with everything BUT the political aftermath. So say goodbye to interstellar peace.

the problem with cerberus is that it attracts the sort of people for whom the end justifies the means. when you have a director like TIM that demands results on a deadline, you encourage the sort of behavior that leads to Cerberus' well deserved reputation

Thresher Maw Studies and Rachni Enslavement weren't really failures. They were stopped by Shepherd and abandoned by Cerberus. It is concerning what they suggest Cerberus will do with the station.
Thorian creepers yep that was pretty much an utter failure.
Derelict Reaper really wasn't their fault and they did get the IFF.
Overlord up until the moment they hooked David up it was kosher.
*shrug* I'll take my chances. And I'm sure they've had successful operations, we just don't hear about them.

sitting in front of a big window does not make you classy. TIM is not classy. if he were classy, he'd have a collared shirt on and he wouldn't smoke shitty cigarettes.

He imports his tobacco from Earth and rolls his own cigarettes.
He is classy as a motherfucker.
Plus it's the future so emphysema and lung cancer due to carcinogens have been eliminated.

he puts the cigarette in his mouth with one hand, then immediately takes it out with the other
he does this constantly and it bugs the fuck outta me
also, vsove, tell the animators to cut out the 'shooting from the hip to intimidate people' stance. it looks retarded

Other than that, I mean, Thane is in ME2. ME2 wins character wise.

Because its a terrible idea.
Ideally i'd have kept the base to show the council/Systems Alliance that the reaper threat is credible.
But i had two choices. Give the base to TIM or nuke it.
Base got nuked like woah.
Basically the opposite.
I would have kept it if it was just meshep being meshep and I could share the findings with the other races
