Spoilers: Garlean Science

[Wolfman88]

He reasoned that if she was utilizing some form of clairvoyance that she might've been able to discern our intent if we knew exactly what the device was doing and counteract it somehow.

Could be, but if we go by that logic after our first use shouldn't she have "figured it out" and countered the effects? I was thinking it had something to do with aether and potentially dangerous side effects.

While I agree with your counterpoint here and felt the same way as you after it was explained to the player later, this was exactly his intent of not telling you anything about it. It would've been better if we only had to use it once on her and then go from there.

One thing about Castrum Abania I noticed:

The boss, Inferno. The scientist operating behind the scenes calls it "Little one", you also notice it has a third eye so is likely a Garlean child, it's things like this which are unsettling to me but I can't wait to see more.

I agree, it is rather disturbing.

I knew the garleans were extremely advanced technologically, but I thought robotics was where it began and ended - I never expected them to take the allagan route and actually begin bioengineering and playing with genetics like that. Though in retrospect, considering they see themselves as the rightful heirs of allag, I suppose it was only natural they'd eventually go there.

The story point about the experimentation and augmentation reminded me somewhat of Xenosaga. Even some of the music is reminiscent. But the scientist in his hover chair....Dr Sellers I presume. He was a devious little evil toad as well.

Except that although she was aware that the device could create problems for her, you were not aware of how or why it did it, so she could not skim that knowledge from your mind. Also, the heat of battle is a poor place to have leaps of cognitive brilliance for someone such as Fordola. Once her blood was up, she was simply a super reactive, hyped up version of herself.
