So I just got Legion on my team(first time btw) and while walking around wih him on all the hub worlds I started to wonder, why doesn't anybody care that I have a fricking GETH with me? Just seems odd

Meh who cares, Legion is an awesome character.  Give him his own Sniper Rifle and he becomes an engine of destruction.  Wish I could borrow it off him.

Lazy design choice to make the world seem more static I guess.

Bioware worlds are the definition of static. No one cares if you start shooting in the air, it seems unlikely they'd care if you brought a pet geth with you. 

I do believe they try to explain when you meet Anderson with Legion. He mentions that Geth have been keeping a low-profile since the attack on the citadel. Because of that, having a pet geth doesnt seem that out of place.
 
Though, I agree that it's a bit too strange to have such a simple explanation. I would go with Baljot theory.

The only place that gives a reaction is when you do Tali's loyalty mission and all the Quarians are "WTF YOU BROUGHT A GETH, HOW DARE YOU!!!"

I wish Bioware's worlds would change over time as you progress through the story. I thought we were past the point with the same NPC standing in the same spot for 35 hours...

The same reason that you can walk around with an escaped serial killer, or an assassin, or a high ranking Cerebus agent, or...

Yeah well I think they try to give the image that people don't really know what Geth look like. Then again allot of people got injured by them 2 years ago and stuff, so why nobody notices I don't know.

I thought the reason was that it was assumed that hes was some sort of VI assistant in a mech body, like the mechs you fight. 
 Isn't there a scene were you walk on to the citadel and they say that you have to make sure your assistant VI is safe as Geth infiltrated during the battle in the end of ME1. Legion comments that the geth don't infiltrate and then you get let in an he says intentionally as part of the joke.
 
I figure most people don't know who youre party members are, the galaxy is a big place after all, and that everyone just assumes you roll with an advance VI robot jeeves situation.

Dude, you're mother fucking Shephard. You could have the kraken in your party and no one would argue.

When I got him, I ran around in circles like WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST RECRUIT A GETH??, then I talked to Joker and he said pretty much the same thing.
lol
 
Oh, and walk up to him in the AI Core n don't say anything. He dances.

" @Kyreo: Say What? You can get that rifle? Can you get all of the unique weapons? Grunt's shotgun for example?   Don't tell me how but is it something to do with either his loyalty mission or the final section? "

When on the collector ship for the first time, shepard glances over to some weapons on the floor., you choose the specialty weapon their, if you get a prompt for a sniper rifle, shotgun or assault rifle as your new weapon, the specialty weapon will come along with it. "

Does this only count for the Soldier class?  Because as my Sentinel I chose the Sniper, and only got the basic one. "

its because the geth stay past the veil, so the majority of people havent seen the geth before.

" I'm playing as an Engineer and can't use the sniperrifles, but i still unlocked a sniper rifle upgrade after talking to Legion. I can't use it but other teammembers can... but i think its the same rifle you all are talking about, right!? "

To be absolutely clear, this is how the collector ship mission weapon training works:

• There are 3 weapon types you can get advanced training in: Shotguns, Assault Rifles, and Sniper Rifles.
• Of those three, for the types you are able to use, you will be able to get a more powerful version: Claymore, Revenant LMG, and Widow, respectively.
• For the types you are unable to use, you will only be able to learn how to use that weapon type but not get the more powerful version. You will still gain access to every other weapon in that category including DLC.
  
• The Collector ship mission weapon training only applies to Shepard. Weapon upgrades for squadmates (Claymore for Grunt, Widow for Legion) are completely separate and obtainable regardless of which weapon training you choose, and vice versa. 

"Good to know, is it good enough to play through as infiltrator?"

Yeah, I noticed that too.  I think I took him with me on to Tali's fleet and that was extra weird that no one even raised an eye-brow.

If you talk to Tali she expresses her distrust of Legion.
And if you do both of their loyalty missions she has a full out argument with him.
Personally I think so few people care because the Geth are no longer your main enemies, in the first game everybody never shut up about the Geth,but now the Collectors have taken their place.....Well I am not going to spoil it for anyone but well I guess the Collectors might not be in ME3.

Dude, when you're talking to people they do notice Legion. Shepard explains that he is no threat, and when people see him walking around with the savior of the galaxy, I think they'd probably give him a little leeway.  
 
But this has been happening in RPGs for many years. It's just something that RPGs do. Remember in Chrono Trigger when you could get Magus in your party?

Yeah I know like how the HELL are they going to tie this up in ME3?! Bioware has such a huge job on their hands! I mean you were given some pretty massive choices in ME2... just thinking about how they will affect the next game makes me drool. "

Its actually because of design and development limitations, but nice try. "

The argument that the Geth are no longer a threat is a weak one because the whole reason for Citadel security being tight enough to piss people off is because of the lingering Geth threat. It was a little jarring to see only one throwaway bit of dialogue from Anderson to explain why people weren't freaking the fuck out.

" @smcn:  You fight rachni on other planets in the original Mass Effect.  The rachni will be back in ME3.  You'll just be tolerated instead of beloved.  Consider Tuchanka's difference with a living and dead Wrex. "

It's cause of that N7 armour. They know he's legit that way. Maybe?
