[No Spoilers] I think the Loyalty missionns have some of the best writing in the series.

Some of them are good, but Jaal's pisses me off and I think it's just terrible writing.

[SPOILER](#s"The whole point of Mass Effect is that it's supposed to present you with tough and meaningful decisions. The end of Jaal's loyalty mission has NONE of the series subtlety, and instead presents it as a binary morality - killing Akksul is wrong in every possible way, and letting him live is simply the "correct choice." In previous Mass Effect games, you could fail loyalty quests by placing the greater good or make questionable calls without a clearcut right or wrong answer. Instead, here it's simply "hurr durr Humans evil."

Nevermind the fact that Akksul is a terrorist who's constantly trying to commit genocide. Killing him is simply wrong in every conceivable way according to ME Andromeda.

When Ryder goes "umm, we let this guy who has been trying to kill my entire race go free," Jaal just says "but his PRIDE will keep him in the shadows." Thanks Jaal. This is just fucking awful writing. And to make things even sillier, killing him results in you getting Jaal's loyalty anyways!")
