So, We all know that Walters was bad. Really, really bad - and that he pretty much -blam!-ed up the plot of ME3. But the thing is, people immediately start to praise Karpshayn for simply not writing ME3, while conveniently forgetting how much he -blam!-ed up ME2, and how much that shittiness would leak into ME3.
I mean, take his wonderful writing about the T-800 at the end of the suicide mission. "Human Biotics are special and building a giant terminator out of them will stop the end of the galaxy because reasons", or his wonderful decision too kill Shepard at the beginning solely to get anti-cerberus players to work with them.
Then, you have the whole dark energy plot. Honestly, this would of actually been worse than what we got (Hard to imagine, isn't it?). I mean, at least RGB was somewhat thematically consistent, DE would just through all that out of the water. Then, one of the key themes of the franchise was the different species working together as equals. This just throws that away with "LELELE HOOMINS R SPECIAL AND CAN SEAVE DA UOONIVASVE BECUZ RASINS". Or how the damn thing was only hinted at in a handful of lines in -blam!-ING SIDE MISSIONS. SIDE MISSIONS. And he hinted at this shit without actually getting it approved as the final ending.
Basically, You think Walters is bad? It could of been so much worse...

What exactly was the point of them making a Human Reaper? They already had a whole armada.
