Thematically speaking, it would have been nice to be offered a choice between Emily Wong and Khalisah al-Jilani for shipboard reporter. (Does -anyone- pick Diana Allers? Someone you have no pre-existing relationship with and sketchy credentials comes flouncing up to you wearing their workout clothes, and you're supposed to let them embed themselves in your unit?)For reasons that baffle me, Bioware decided to kill off Emily Wong in a marketing stunt; she was live-tweeting the Reaper invasion of Earth in the run-up to ME3s launch, and she and her news crew go out piloting their shuttle into one of the smaller in a kamikaze strike.
It wasn't bad writing, but it was a really gimmicky way to kill someone off, even a minor character, out-of-game.
