Shepard wasn't punished for joining Cerberus, what the fu ck, he was on trial because he destroyed an entire Batarian star system. People can feel bad about something they had to do, even if they didn't have a choice. Not working for them would simply mean you won't be able to stop the collectors, and the Reapers in time. There are several reasons why 'just leaving Cerberus and joining the Alliance' wouldn't work, most of them are explained in the game.

And complete absurd is in ME3 Joker is reinstated in the Alliance without problems but they punished Shepard. What? Why? It contradicts their characters. But there wasn't an option.Īnd what's funny, Joker and Chakwas begin to work for Cerberus too. After the Collector ship level I wanted to steal the ship and work with Alliance instead. There isn't even an option to say that you DON'T WANT to work for them and it pisses me off. The game railroads you into working for Cerberus. The thing is, there is no option to walk away although TIM makes it sound like after Freedom's Progress you are free to do so. Originally posted by BloodyMares:I completely agree. So frustraiting.Īnd no, my Enemy's enemy doesn't apply here because TIM is even a threat to Cerberus and humanity itself (how many people died because of their experiments?).Īnd what's funny, Joker and Chakwas begin to work for Cerberus too. More so, in the 3rd game you're supposed to feel bad about working with them when you as a player wasn't given a choice. You could easily stop the Collectors while working for Alliance or the Council. But instead the writers, not Cerberus, don't give you, the player, a choice. I would understand if Cerberus makes you a war prisoner or somehow blackmail you to work with them and that Shepard doesn't have a choice.
