** While on Omega, Shepherd is briefly enlisted by Aria T'Lok to serve as protection for her consigliere and former foe, the Patriarch. You can either simply eliminate the hitmen sent after him as per Aria's orders, respect the Patriarch's wish to die with dignity, or restore the old krogan's honour by killing the assassins in his name. This has nothing to do with the mission to stop the Collectors, and indeed, Aria doesn't become relevant to the overarching plot until ''VideoGame/MassEffect3''.
** During Samara's recruitment mission on Illium, it's possible to uncover evidence that a shipping agent is stealing precious goods from a local crime lord by the name of Mr Thax. You can either turn a blind eye to this operation or forward the info to Thax - in which case, you'll later be visited by [[AffablyEvil a surprisingly well-spoken krogan]] who will reward you for your help and remark that Mr Thax will be making "[[DeadlyEuphemism a series of polite calls]]."

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: A more downplayed moment than most, sure, but at one point Kenneth Donnelly and Gabby Daniels invite you to a friendly game of poker. If you go the Paragon route, you can request the two "go easy on the new guy". One fade to black later and it turns out this was a clever ruse to make them drop their guard. Judging by their comments, Shepard completely wiped the table with them.

The correct answer is [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope none of the above]], because ''all five are male'', and Observer referred to herself as a female once.
