I'm sure a lot of people who played Mass Effect 2 missed out on some of the BEST lines of dialogue and a more dramatic story line because they felt so compelled to use the mind tricks.

Importing a save that avoided them, almost entirely, made for a better ME3 game. Because I hadn't finessed events skilfully through ME1&2 I had to face some consequences in ME3.

I think part of why the Mordin scene in ME3 gets overhyped is Paragons and Renegades finally face something they can't easily fix, and it was a result of 'best decisions' from ME1 & ME2. In my game I'd fucked up events in the prior games so badly that I was able to save Mordin...
