Reeeaaalllyy looking forward to Solas as a villain, hoping they don't turn him into something completely without nuance like Corypheus.
Those are very good points but I think it's like TIM fits in the (post ME1) universe so well. I mean the world where nothing makes sense, everything is actually pretty fucked up, Reapers were just playing with humanity, Collectors, if you think of it, they were useless, Cerberus everywhere. etc.I would like to address anyone who didn't vote for the Illusive Man.

I would like to address anyone who didn't vote for the Illusive Man. Some people here who seem to think he and his organization were at some point good villains, or even competent. There are many reasons why this is wrong, which are evident to people with eyes and ears capable of intaking information from the environment and sending that information to the brain for processing:
- Like half the side quests in the first game are foiling the various cartoonishly evil and stupid experiments and shenanigans his organization gets into. For example, what happens if you lure people to where a sand worm lives? Hypothesis: I think they will get eaten. Result: they got eaten. What happens if we get a bunch of rachni and put them on a random ship? Hypothesis: I don't think they'll break out and kill everyone and spread across the galaxy. Result: they broke out and killed everyone and spread across the galaxy. Who comes up with this shit?

Mac Walters. He wrote all the Cerberus stuff for ME1. His reward was promotion to lead writer for 2&3. The result was fatal decline for the series.

The Master is alright but is overrated.
Underappreciated - Morag from NWN OC
That was beautifully put. Would brofist if I could.... So now you have a Mass Effect where game where the Star Child is controlling the Cigarette Smoking Man who is sending a ninja to attack you with a katana.
Sarevok is a pretty good villain, a mysterious and intimidating man that took everything from you. a machiavellian figure that is plunging two kingdoms into chaos, a great leader that commands the respect and undying loyalty of his allies, a clever and educated gentleman that is at home both in the court and in academic circles.Voted for Sarevok. Another shitty non-character
It still functions as an antagonist
Archdemon, because it was the most uninpsired, trite, boring and idiotic character ever. The story never tells you why he attacks, you learn nothing of his motivations, etc. No one else is blander or more forgetable among Bioware's antagonist, albeit they have quite a few shitty ones.
Ultimately, you cannot even call it a "character" since it is closer to a lego brick Bioderp needed to fill that big gaping hole in their story with a big bad.
