This isn't for comments such as "the ending!", but more about parts of the game that were cut but need restoring, major bugs that still need fixing, immersion or aesthetic issues, or anything else that could do with being tuned up. That way we have a single list for modders to work on if they feel like fixing or adding to the game.
I will start off with a few of my own and I shall add to it as time wears on, but if anyone could suggest additions I would be very grateful, I'd rather this becomes a community effort to identify issues than a personal one.

Aesthetics
Reapers; in ME2 we saw many different (but similar) forms for the Reapers, in ME3 they are all the same. YouTube Link
Harbinger; the model used for Harbinger does not match his appearance from ME2.
Omega DLC; after Nyreen joins you a second time there is a destroyed transport that uses Alliance insignia instead of Cerberus.

Immersion
Citadel Hub; The Citadel is swarming over with humans, post-coup there are ~220 humans, with the next largest majority being turians at ~115. A rebalance would more accurately reflect the Citadel's population.
Aria; Returns to the Citadel immediately after reclaiming Omega
Cipritine Armoury; Cipritine is the capital of Palaven, so it is assumedly a turian company, but has two salarian workers.
Sonax Industries Pardons; Liara tells Glyph to pardon Sonax Industries scientists so they can work on the Crucible, but we don't get a war asset for them. Found in EGM 1.08
Purgatory; Plays the same music every time you visit, could benefit from either a RandomSwitch to generate randomised music or to have the music change after each major plot point Post-Mars, Post-Tuchanka, Post-Rannoch.
Geth Prime in London; Currently only appears if Quarians wiped out, should appear for peace too, also has cut audio referencing the peace. YouTube Link

Story
