Added DiffLines:

** Tali survives the dangers of her Pilgrimage, and acquires the information that will lead Shepard to uncovering the Reapers.
* TheGhost: Commander Shepard, the PlayerCharacter of the original trilogy. Shepard comes up in conversation many times, but in every case, they are described in gender-neutral pronouns and in such a manner that the player can fit their own Shepard into the story.
* GreaterScopeVillain: The Reapers, as per usual. Their influence is felt in several of the stories, but none of the characters properly grasp the threat they pose, as Shepard is the one who uncovers that in the first game.


Added DiffLines:

* LowerDeckEpisode: To the original trilogy in general. Wrex's story is set shortly before Shepard's arrival on the Citadel in the first game, and Ashley's story is set at an offscreen point of Citadel: Expose Saren, an early game-quest in the first game.

* PretenderDiss: [[spoiler:The Illusive Man remarks that whatever Brooks thinks Shepard's clone is, it's not the real Shepard and never will be.]]
