If it's one thing I'd have to say not having a "harsher" character development option. Someone sabotages equipment possibly hurtingkilling others? Shoot him, not "pretty please go away". Shepard is 600 years in the past, and yes we need to be diplomatic in a new area but some playthroughs you want to boss up instead of being "The Great Appeaser".

Yea but at the same time you forget that for Ryder, Shepard isn't 600 years ago, it was yesterday thanks to cryostasis, also Ryder isn't a hardboiled marine like Shepard and he/she is not used to being in charge making the tough calls, Ryder is basically still trying to figure out how to go about things and which leg to stand on.
Mass effect world Shepard is 600 years in the past, so for US he's ancient history and that's what was meant. Not even sure if Ryder even knows about Shepard or the events in the trilogy, it's never specifically mentioned.
As for Ryder not being hard core Marine he's had SOME training. The initiative might not be military but the pathfinder team was trained for the unknown. Shepard could be nice, or a *. A kind hero, or a ruthless, efficient problem solver. They let you decide his disposition. Ryder is always stuck on doublespeak diplomacy. You could spit in his face and he'd make a snarky remark or say that's not nice. That's if he didn't apologize for getting in your spits way.
The first play through I play as I would react. Then a nice hero play through and finally a harsher, no nonsense one(can't really bring myself to be EVIL lol) with Ryder, we weren't given a choice. It's be super nice, or grovel at everones feet.

Shepard is 600 years in the past, so for us he's the really famous person who got humanity a seat on the Council not long before we all hit the snooze button, and is now either missing presumed dead or at the center of a massive diplomatic incident involving a destroyed relay and a LOT of dead Batarians. After all, for us 600 years literally was yesterday, and everything we are, everything we work from today comes directly from that 600 year old yesterday. Given the timeline for the start of MEA I don't know why we can't have an upload for our saves, to better reflect that yesterday, but it is what it is.
As for Ryder's speech, there are a lot of threads out there on it. Feel free to add your two cents. I would suggest starting here
