Wrex being dead is never the correct choice. Ever.

Is this game being played using an imported save? Thread seemed to have the impression that it's using the defaults without a save being imported, but I don't think Shepard recognises the Shadow Broker VI unless it's from a save which has completed Lair of the Shadow Broker.

I think the thing that makes the bad aspects of Mass Effect 3 so jarring (in this video, that means EDI) is that the good aspects are so good. Not even including the incredibly fun gameplay with enjoyable balance between gunplay and power usage, the good story aspects Tuchanka's climax, the Geth/Quarian climax, etc are amazing. This is even present in this video with how natural and enjoyable the banter between Shepard and Garrus.

The weird part is that at first it seems like Bioware decided to get it right this time. Ashley's armour in the Mars mission looks completely kickass, and Liara's combat lab coat is still one of my favourite pieces of costume design in the series. Then... EDI shows up.

I like that Joker says what we are all thinking. Not-Mordin indeed.

You cut out just before the best lines of that exchange! "You exist because we allow it. You will end because we demand it." Sovereign's delivery during the entire conversation is absolutely chilling, but those two lines are perfect. It's a shame that none of the following Reaper voice actors were able to pull that off, the only one that came close being Harbinger.

Edit: The scene at the end of the video is a perfect example of how Liara has improved as a character from the first game. Back in Mass Effect 1, it felt like her only real character trait was her naivety and getting swept up in things. It wasn't until the second game that she started to get depth in her hunt for the Shadow Broker, and I wouldn't say she is an outright good character until the Shadow Broker DLC.
