Could have been cool, but tough to implement with Javik being a squaddie.

Could have done it in the sequence right before the final rush to the Citadel. After your conversation with Javik, he turns to face a bunch of Awakened Collectors like Wrex does with his soldiers.

I was expecting a picture of Bubbles stealing trolleys but okay

Kai Leng himself wasn't a super interesting character, but he was a pretty great mirror of Shepard in terms of conflict. An image of what might have been if things between Shepard and Cerberus had gone differently. And, of course, his actions actually made me hate him and want to utterly destroy him, and that's rare for me. Cerberus did get weird, but that's because they were indoctrinated. They pushed the at-any-cost doctrine too far and got fucked up because they were standing right next to Reaper tech all the goddamn time.

Well, the geth were largely not at fault for the uprising from the get-go. Even through Tali's bias, that much was evident from ME1 and onward. They didn't throw the first punch. A major theme of the franchise has been that blind hatred of AI is irrational and ultimately just leads to horrifying conflicts. Still, nothing on Rannoch excuses the geth following suit and committing war crimes of their own during their uprising. All Rannoch missions end up confirming is that the quarians shot first and weren't too nice about it. And, while the geth are shown to be more sympathetic, that's because again, the game is driving home that blind fear of AI is stupid (EDI is awesome) and has terrible consequences (Reapers).

You know what would have been a good thing for them to add after Leviathan?

The attack on the Citadel, the quarian homeworld, asari homeworld, and Sanctuary all happen after Tuchanka, though. Those were all excellent sections for their own reasons. And, after Tuchanka, you get what I think is the first successful rival character in a Bioware game, Kai Leng, who pretty much everyone genuinely wanted to kick the shit out of and murder.

Some of the collecting in Inquisition could have been tedious if it weren't 100% optional. Eventually you're swimming in Power and can just worry about finding the resources you actually need to craft rad stuff. MMOs necessitate grinding, while Inquisition merely allowed it.

I thought Kai Leng was awfully written. Rannoch turned the Geth from being robots who turned on their creators into good boys who didn't do nuffin wrong, and turned the Quarians pretty much evil. No comments on Thessia other than that I didn't personally like it. Sanctuary I don't have a problem with by itself, I have a problem with how Cerberus is written as a whole.
