* [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot]]: In the first game, it was revealed that Cerberus was behind the Thresher Maws that killed a [[Sole Survivor]] Shepard's squad. Shepard works with Cerberus in this game, but is never given a chance to call anyone in Cerberus out for the events on Akuze or the background-specific sidequest from the first game (in which it's revealed that there was another survivor, Corporal Toombs, who was captured and used as a test subject by Cerberus scientists). All you get is a very angry email from Toombs calling Shepard out for working with Cerberus, much like everyone else in the game. |

** A lot of the faces just don't look ''quite'' right. Much of it has to do with the lighting. |

*** Miranda's potato-shaped face (i.e., she does not look like she does on the game box) is probably the most noticeable one. |

*** Dr. Chakwas's face is particularly frightening in the brief moment when she swivels in her chair to face you before a conversation. |

** Many of the female character's proportions just look wrong, particularly Miranda's (a realistic head on a spindly, very thin body but with big breasts and buttocks). In fairness to this one though, this is par for the course for many female video game characters. |

** C-Sec has instituted new security and travel rules, including seemingly random no-fly lists and item confiscations, as a knee-jerk reaction to a massive attack. They're so ineffective they label a pair of asari as geth infiltrators and fail to notice {{spoiler|''the geth in your party''.}} Anyone familiar with post-9/11 airport security in the US will recognize the system and the common criticisms of it. |
