Don't read the rest of the description until you've watched the video, unless you already know what the deal is with the Shadow Broker when you meet them.

Well...that was a disappointment. Admittedly, the game hadn't done much recently to build up an aura of excitement about this guy but you knew they had to be something special. And then you see a whole new species and it's pretty bad ass. And there's a plausible reason you wouldn't recognize this species, and they sound pretty threatening and cool, but you don't learn anything about them until you've killed the Shadow Broker and read about them in the Codex. What's worse is the Shadow Broker is supposed to be brilliant, well-informed, and unflappable. A hulking monster physically, but with a brilliant mind. A truly threatening opponent. But then when Liara makes some educated guesses about what he is, he immediately goes into this stupid rage and becomes a generic, roaring, mindless monster. That you defeat, regardless of your chosen combat class, with melee. Again, a big disappointment.
