Oh well, im not surprised anymore of these things. Probably just laziness. In the previous episodes in the cutscenes you were holding and Avenger no matter what most of the time. They could design each cutscene with each weapon but probably that'd be too much work and hassle, it was easier to put the M8 and call it a day.
Same with the ME:A cutscenes, you are holding that unknown weapon many times instead of your own one.
I just met that "angaran" escape pod today scanning for anomaly and yeah the first thing i saw the SOS sign. Raised my eyebrows a bit then just hit space saying: "Bioware..."
Spoiler
Avitus on the final mission flying an alliance fighter instead of a turian. Might not the biggest thing though.
Cant remember anything else...but im sure there were a few more things.
