** Once the Batarians reveal that they have a weapon that is comparable to a reflex cannon (which turns out to be AwesomeButImpractical, as while it can blow enemy ships to hell well enough, the firing drains the entire ship of power and is "only" one third as powerful as a real reflex cannon), the Sentinals and the UEF have a freak out because up until that moment, they were sure that ''they'' had the advantage of firepower should a conflict come up. The existence of this Batarian ship suddenly means that the firepower gap, while still in the favor of the Sentinel Alliance, suddenly got a lot smaller.

* CompositeCharacter[=/=]ThirdOptionAdaptation: Some of the possible background elements for Shepard in the game are given to Kaidan and Ashley. Kaidan, for example is the Sole Survivor from Akuze, while Ashley was Ruthless on Torfan.

This or these examples of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome seem to violate at least one of these rules, which disqualifies them: No character reactions (characters get angry, don't forgive, don't change their personality instantly, etc.); Too fantastical (depends on the properties of magic, powers, sci-fi tech, monsters, etc.); Not surprising (a character was warned about the outcome, it's used to provide Karma or An Aesop, or it simply follows normal conventions for this genre or medium); Plot happens (the example only describes an event, but not why audiences would expect a different, unrealistic outcome); Not an outcome (a character just explains why something wouldn't work as expected, or something is just an innate aspect of the setting or character that has a logical reason for being present); More of a Deconstruction (the event has major, lasting effects on the plot, make something more realistic, but not completely realistic, or a parody/fanwork applies realistic consequences to the events of a different work); or fits better under a different trope. See the trope's definition for more details. If you believe a removal was a mistake, please bring it up in the cleanup thread.


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Just because a planet is Earth-''like'' does not mean that every detail about it is the same. Shanxi has eight percent higher gravity, which is fairly significant if you're trying to do complex maneuvers like [[ItMakesSenseInContext suplexing an alien fighter.]] The end result is both of their fighters destroyed and partially buried in the ground.
** Miranda, an Alliance Operative, sees Shepard in Freedom Station and immediately makes a bunch of assumptions that he must be here on important Spectre business. She goes over to him and begins a speech saying that if he's here, it's likely his mission and hers have details in common, so it'd be good to pool their resources and worked together. There's just one minor problem: Shepard isn't on a mission at the moment. All he's doing is picking up food and supplies. Not every place that a Spectre goes to will be because of important, galaxy-saving business.

* PocketRocketLauncher: Wrist-mounted micro-missile launchers as a standard weapon built into Veritech "Cyclone" (swaps between a battle harness and a motorbike) PoweredArmor, and hip-mounted clip-on versions as well. Each rocket is about the size of the average thumb and explodes in a similar blast radius to assault grenades.

* PoorCommunicationKills: At one point in the past, the Turians found a Zentraedi fleet bombing a planet into oblivion. They then designated these aliens as an extreme threat. When the humans were found using the same technology as the Zentraedi, the Hierarchy thought they were at an extreme threat and went in ''extremely'' heavy. Humans, seeing an alien battlefleet making no attempts to communicate and going after them with everything they had, responded in kind, remembering the destruction of the four Robotech Wars. The result was a three-year-long conflict.
