Mordin’s arc hit as hard as a redemption story can in like any medium. It could never be done today because the devs would be afraid have to explain the justification for the like sterility virus as thoroughly as they did in the main ME series. Or worse we’d have some mincing character whose whole purpose is to dramatically demonstrate the developer’s moral outrage throughout the plot And Mordin wouldn’t be allowed to be as likable as he was
I agree. I don't think Mordin's 180 on the genophage fit his character well at all. Mordin is highly intelligent and logical, it seems absurd to assume he wouldn't have fully considered the ramifications of creating such a virus and suddenly have a complete breakdown because of "muh dead Krogan babbies". Curing the genophage will cause another war. Krogan's are unkillable tanks that breed like rabbits and have a warrior culture where violence and conquest is valued above all else. Gee, I wonder what will happen if their absurd birth rates are restored and they once again need to expand beyond their home planets?
