Let's try and deal with this mess slowly.
The Citadel Council being antagonistic towards humanity wouldn't exactly be anything new since it is a core part of the series.
We also don't know the extent of the relationship. It could just be standard competing power rivalries.
>Citadel Council suddenly antagonistic to Humanity for no reason
>Humans allying with the Krogan and fucking BATARIANS
>Geth are their own faction but no Quarians
>Andromeda kept as canon
>more John Wick copy bullshit
>Liara ugged up because "she's older" when Asari don't physically age like humans
Thank God this was canceled.

The Yuuzhan Vong were inserted in a pointless attempt to try and justify the Emperor's cruelty.
Removing them and other terrible ideas like Mara Jade or the Palpatine force ghost saga was a good thing.

The Americans invented the original butterfly mine and dropped millions on Vietnam and Laos. It was subsequently copied by the Soviets.
It is now used by both the Russians and Ukrainians (like most ex-Soviet weapons) yet this guy is crashing out wholly blaming the Russians.
Guess who invented these fucking kiddie killers?....British Sappers are taught a very complicated way to "defuse" them. "Blow it of the face of the earth as fast and completely as you can, use an incendiary round if needs be".....Venal cunts...

so we could of had an espionage thriller in which we are an ex-N7 operative that works with a matriarch Liara and a new crew?
A BioWare dev on reddit leaked a Mass Effect 5 trailer... it's called MASS EFFECT UNIVERSE and it's fucking gorgeous. I'm crying. This is everything I wanted. They were a lot farther than we thought. FUCK EA

We need to burn down EA immediately for its crimes against humanity.
Such an incredible studio lost.
