I am so with you on thinking Udina could have been way more interesting if they hadn't written him to be a traitor in ME3. That moment where he talks about Arcturus Station is both genuine and heart breaking, and gave me some real sympathy for the guy. Also there's the fact that Shepard could use someone who disagrees with her that doesn't end up either the Bad Guy or written out of the story (like the Council after the Citadel attack) (which was dumb how they disappear I mean come on)
Yes! Yay, Iâm glad someone agreed with me. :)Â I mean, I love Anderson, but câmon, the man is a marine commander, not a diplomat. Udina is genuinely more qualified to be councilor, and it would be interesting for Shepard to have to work with a person that they donât necessarily like, but who has a different and necessary skill set.
I think I started to warm up to Udina when I realized that he actually responds better to a Renegade Shepard back in ME1. He responds badly to a lot of the Paragon-y dialogue; he doesnât like being lectured about ethics or how to do his job by Shepard (who, letâs face it, is much younger and from a completely different line of work). He will still grumble to any Shepard about them making messes for him to clean up, but thereâs a bit of Renegade dialogue along the lines of âYeah, donât tell me how to do my job out there, and I wonât tell you how to do yours in here,â and Udina sort of sighs and goes âokay, fair enough.â That just struck me as a really interesting bit of characterization.
@probablylostrightnow and I at one point developed the vague idea that maybe Cerberus replaced Udina with a clone before the coup attempt (that would, honestly, probably be way more effective than replacing Shepard), and I still kinda like that theory.
