** Played straight with a dubiously official site stating that Zaeed is ''40.'' In addition to this not matching his [[CoolOldGuy appearance]] and [[GutturalGrowler voice,]] it simply doesn't make any sense with his backstory.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfRoles: As is to be expected for a piece of media centered around voice acting, a majority of the [=NPCs=] shares actors. Of particular note, all vorcha and hanar are voiced by Male Shepard's actor, Creator/MarkMeer, and sharp-eared anime fans will likely notice that about half the male [=NPCs=] in the second game are voiced by Creator/YuriLowenthal while about half the female [=NPCs=] in the third game are Creator/LauraBailey.

* IncestSubtext: There is a strong taboo against asari mating with other asari and a strong stigma associated with Ardat-Yakshi, asari suffering from a genetic disease that is believed to be connected to being born as a "pureblood". Surprisingly, all Shepard's asari squadmates are all purebloods, namely Liara, Samara, and [[spoiler: Morinth, one of the Samara's pureblooded daughters, all who are Ardat-Yakshi.]]
