you know I was about to tear into this about the origins of the reapers because your answer is worse than the whole starchild thing at the end, but was also about to rip into you because we know who and why the reapers were created with the Leviathan dlc but I had to check when your fic started and was finished and you get a pass because of that as your fic finished before the dlc came out

dalish for shepards actual species language, not a bad choice

TheVict0rian's review sums up everything I thought of this story lol.

This is probably the third time I’ve read the story in this chapter still gets to me

I’ve always loved this story for me the best type of mass affect story is the what if stories and yours is one of the best

Overall a rather good story, and while i do have criticisms this story was generaly well imagined, but first lets mention the tv tropes page because it can only be described as biased AF. They constantly get parts of the story wrong or forget things, for instance you did give hints about cross species breeding for Shep/Tali way back in ME 1, kai leng didnt die by falling into a abyss, while it only applies to the aticans the goverment type does play a role, they were refered to as zombies quite often, and finally its mentioned that tali and her mom are on mindoir to check things out at the shelter and help expose tali to non Quarians, and while i will admit that every 2 weeks is too often, for some reason most people assume they live in the shelter rather then visiting periodicly like they actually do.

Now as i mentioned not everything was great. Sometimes the sentence structure looks like something that would be asked to contract in middle school english and shepard explaining what cerberus did to the aticans once or twice every chapter gets rather old about when ME 3 starts. Besides shepards super strength being forgotten about later on in the story as well. Still it was imaginative and you saw it through till the very end unlike most writers who are applauded for their stories and unlike other stories lt left me a sense of calm happiness i haven't felt since i finished wheel of time series albeit without the huge negetive feeling when a book series you cherish is finally concluded and you know no more new scenes will be published. So have a happy new year tommorow and remember, dont let those who hate this story get you down (XD i never even encountered this much angst in stuff about kaldor draigo and hes The mary sue).

I love the story so much you make it so emotional you sir are a great writer

I really love your story I’m amazed it’s not higher on the list

Whenever I first found this website this was one of the first stories I read and it was one of my favorite I loved your original telling of mass of fact so here it is a long time later and I’m reading it again just because it’s that good

A colonel is above a lieutenant commander, plus, different military branches. Don't know if this is the writer or ME canon, but the weird ranks always through me off.

A really great story-adventure...thank you for bringing me along!

I love this story! It is awesome!

Reading through the reviews i saw you got a lot of hate for this story, what with the overpowered character getting his way all the time.
However this is not one of those reviews as i am actually fed up of every story i seem to read here having their main characters be edgy and full of flaws and tragedy with no happy endings in sight and only 'noble' bullshit sacrifices.
I for one thoroughly enjoyed this steamrolling Shepard, its nice to actually read a well written stomp-story instead of a non-stomp story where every character has numerous and pointless flaws.

LOVE THIS STORY!
Thanks for the awesome adventure! I hope I can write a story as good as this one.
