illum is noveria with even less control over business practices
You mean Illium is Noveria with a lot more control over business practices. Illium is a prominent world in galactic society and under much closer scrutiny than Noveria.
Illium is shitty in much the same way that reality's current economic bullshit is shitty, whereas Noveria is a full-on Ayn Rand wet dream. Neither are perfect, but only one is a neverending nightmare.
both are technically Terminus but Noveria respects the council a little more since they recognize your spectre rights

I think the Chevin are cool.
Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if Labor had not first existed. Labor is superior to capital, and deserves much the higher consideration. - Lincoln

Anyways, yeah, asari are the worst, given that one of their colonies has a thriving indentured servitude industry
Voluntary indentured servitude with a lot of restrictions that keep "owners" from abusing their indentured servants, plus owners are responsible for medical care and food and housing. Really it's more like long-term contract work with pretty ironclad contracts. It's slavery, but it's not completely inhumane.

And Parasini is evidence that there is some effort to try to eliminate abuse of power.

she also appeared on Illium
As part of a Noveria operation. There's no evidence of any Illium authorities to step in and do what she did.

No, Parasini's job is to deal with fraud. Abuse of power is fine, so long as you don't steal from Noveria's owners.
Like I know I have been firing off half-formed arguments, but I think her job at least indirectly deals with abuse of power. So, like I said, some effort.
Ok, so how about when BioWare (or any other developer, really) invite the press in to see a game early? I mean, who knows what's being slipped into the complimentary soda?
Ironically, it's Tali's sweat. Turns out it's a powerful mood-enhancer.

This is going back a few hours, but someone asked me about it privately and I want to be clear: I was being completely facetious here.

I know, but as far as I can tell it's better than illium
As far as you can tell based on things you don't remember properly or have outright fabricated.
They're two completely different worlds, anyway. Illium is a metropolis. It's high-profile and lots of people live there. It's not the best place, but not even corporations can do anything they want because society would break down and that would be bad for business. Illium has way more oversight and rules than Noveria.
Noveria exists solely so that corporations can do whatever the fuck they want without having to worry about the council interfering. You can do anything you want to anyone you want so long as you have enough money and don't fuck with anyone else's money.
If you honestly think Noveria is better than Illium there is something seriously fucking wrong with your priorities.
Who the heck is this Diana Allers lady
Why is she running around in a low-cut t-shirt?
Apparently official Cerberus brand low-cut t-shirt at that.
Uh also is that... Conrad Verner at 2:38?
I'm seeing things...right?
A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

Diana Allers is a reporter, her shirt has the Alliance logo so I guess she works for them? she wears that shirt cause boobs help ratings
looked more like Bailey to me, he didn't have the goatee. it could easily just be some injured guy though.
if she's a reporter, my guess has her at being an embedded war correspondent.
If that's the case, her outfit is even more ridiculous

so I guess they're more or less equal?
I did not remember that

BAM
you big stupid jellyfish
looked more like Bailey to me, he didn't have the goatee. it could easily just be some injured guy though.
No, it's filled with insane rachni and psychopaths and Space Mengeles.
I'll just talk about how Jacob is unequivocally the best character in the series
so it's better than illium, we're on the same page here
UGH
everyone else is like IT IS AN HONOR SERVING WITH YOU SHEPARD or DON'T FUCK THIS UP, SHEPARD when you finish their dialogue trees
but Jacob is like "Nah, we're cool. If we survive lets go get wrecked and party."
More Bothans must die.
but it's very ODD
because she's playing basically the same role that she does in the real world
it's like if miranda wasn't miranda in ME3, but instead was famous blonde actress ____ from Eden Prime or something
hopefully she doesn't pop up a lot
one punch should be enough to keep her away
