@@nova3530onyt for andramida it could just be the normal me1 sheperd just with the control chip actually installed like maranda initially wanted. so in the end we got a shepered who has a star war order 66 chip in his head. and if you know anything about the chips and what it dos to the clones in star wars that would be a nightmare, espeshaly when the free willed version of shepered figures out hes chiped for a possible me4 set in the milky way personally i want a time skip of atleast 100-600 years (600 would probably be best so we can possible get in contact with andromeda). sadly that means no shepered (unless theirs an ai cerberus version of him or you took the control ending) i would want them to be related to shepered in some way thou, but not be a pure blooded human. mass effect was alwase to human centric for me do to shepered well being a hero from earth that was barely 30 years since first contact so humans had the most to do because they were just so new. do a mix raced shepered (race is determined off your lover in the original triligy, unless you were selibit or they died where its a something like hanna shepered had another child or unkown to him he had a brother or cusin this hole time) while the game would most likly be more internal then exsternal like with the reapers. mostly focusing on xenophobia and uplifted races like the vorchia and reminents/reamerged krogan and rachnie getting up to mischif now that their population has had time to restart, but like the rest of the galaxie not enough to be back to where they were before (the reapers did ALOT of damage and the ending might have done even more). this would also go for the quarians and geth even if their fleets were distroyed they still had secs outside their fleets be it the indipendent geth or quarians on their pilgramige. while if the machines were shut down after 100-600 years someones bound to turn them back on. they got E.M.Ped not straight up killed, as long as their cercuts are not fried their still alive just in a coma. the choices from the last game will determan their numbers. ether way the gangs took over and the vorcha spreed over that last 100-600 years and thats not a good thing

I still like how we have those 4 side missions in ME1 that give small nuggets of Cerberus then it just explodes into this massive thing later on.

It also validates why everyone hates them so much, I remember first time I ignored them, then headed to ME2 and found out that everyone hates them so very much, like pro human group sure but there was so much hate and couldn't understand why. Then I did the Cerberus side missions and figured it out, along with the Survivor background, luring alliance soldiers to Thresher Maw nests, killing alliance admirals, experimenting on Rachni and Thorian creepers, releasing side Rachni with freighters and such, I wouldn't be surprised if all those husks of research teams and on the ships belong to Cerberus aswell.

For every successful project such as the Normandy, Lazarus and EDI. There’s a stupid one like overlord, monster soldiers and turning the entire organisation into indoctrinated reaper slaves. Bit of a mixed track record.

Why for any of these. Simple Because “fuck it” and a good dash of yolo.

Project Overlord felt like the most inhumane project Cerberus conducted for a Pro-Human group. For all their talk about being about humanity that project alone proved just how far gone the organization was even before it had fallen to the reaper's control.

Look at the experiments in the UNC missions from 1. They were always blinded by their own idealistic beliefs.

Wow who would have thought that for a small time the illusive man and Saren had fought together

The weird thing about Cerberus is it's Cell structure, as each team only answers to the illusive man and he only asks about results, each team head is under pressure to get results while not having to answer to anyone else. This leads to stealing Thorian Creeper samples to try to make humanoid soldier slaves, or child biotic experiments or plugging a savant. It's clear the Illusive man has some form of morals, he's just willing to let some blood get spilled for the "greater good of humanity" This is why his indoctrination lead to Cerberus flipping entirely on it's head in ME3, because he was the only one calling the shots.

And there is a reason why Ashley hates both Cerberus, and the Terra Firma movement and if you actually take the time to befriend her in ME1, you learn what that reason is and how it stems back to the end of the First-Contact War.

Cerberus is why ME2 is my favorite game. They bring to the games an enemy that you can disagree with, while also maybe wanting to support in certain areas - because survival. That's why Andromeda failed for me! There was no uncomfortable middle ground that could tempt you away from the Paragon path.
