Mass Effect 2

[Upset Spideyfan]

You saved the crew or did they get melted?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Everyone survived. I'm looking forward to killing almost everyone in the next save. I would've tried to kill everyone, but I read online that that kills Shep too and Mass Effect 3 won't accept a save where Shep died. I guess they figured resurrecting his ass once was enough.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

You need 2 people to survive so that they can lift you up at the end.

The reason I lost Mordin was I sent him into the vents thinking the game would let us play as him for that segment so I wanted somebody with a power set I liked vs. Collectors.

When I saw I was still Shep and the game was handling Mordin I was all, "... Oops."

If I could have made a change I would have let us play as a character during the hold the line sequence like they did in Dragon Age last year.

Other than that I really loved this game.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't like switching characters, personally. I actually wish they hadn't even let us play as Joker.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

You wimp!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Shep's the only gender-variable person for me.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

D'awwww.

 

[Bob-omb]

You know whats funny? Even on my uber paragon Shep I left Garrus kill the jerk he wanted to kill.

It seriously didn't even enter my mind to "stop" him from doing it.

 

[Soapy]

I did too.

I don't really set out to play as a paragon or renegade, I just go with the flow. Whatever feels right at the time.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Sidonis hasn't survived any of my playthroughs.

 

[El Bastardo]

Nor mine. I tend to quit my Paragon playthroughs before I get to Garrus's loyalty mission.

Maybe I just haven't figured out the right character, but I cannot stand 100% or thereabouts Paragon.

 

[SolarTiger]

I tend to make my Shepard uber paragon, although that doesn't stop me from doing the renegade interruptions. I loved pushing that security guard through the window .

BTW does anyone think Shiala (the thorian asari) will be a romanceble option in the third game? She seemed to hint at it when you say goodbye to her.

 

[Solidus]

In RPG's I always go to the extreme of "good". And my close friend always goes evil. So then we compare what happened to one another. I remember he hated being an extreme Sith at the end of KOTOR, but it was cool to see the differences.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Like I said I usually do Paragade playthroughs.

I like playing the hero but I don't think I could stand to do a Lawful Good character.

Sometimes people need ventilation holes bored into their skulls.

 

[Master Chief]

Yeah, I'm mostly a paragon but I play based on what I'd do in real life.

Like I let Garrus get revenge, and I punch that scientist's assistant in the face every single time during the first game's prologue.

I did not let Garrus take revenge. He thanked me for it

I did a few renegade things here and there but the majority of my play through I did good deeds.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm on Garrus' mission on my current play-through. Had to leave for work before I got to choose, but I'm pretty sure I'll let Sidonis live. I'm a Paragon this time. This was supposed to be my quick "get everyone killed" play-through, but I've been enjoying it enough to make it my full male Paragon play-through. Kind of makes me regret jokingly naming him "Shep Shepard."

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Just roleplay that it was the name of the family dog.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Haha, ironically, I just watched Raiders of the Lost Ark last weekend with my friends. One of them had never seen it before.

Now that I'm actively trying to kill some characters but let others survive, I've gotten a little obsessed with planning it. I meticulously mapped out how I would kill off the specific characters I want to die for my current play-through and now I'm playing and just checking things off the list of stuff I have to do to make it happen. I also mapped out my female Shep play-throughs, I think. First will be a Paragon Shep who romances Garrus and saves everybody, second will be a Renegade Shep who romances Thane and gets everybody but him and someone else killed. Not sure who the other survivor will be. Probably Miranda, Tali, or Grunt.

 

[Erzengel]

Don't forget to kill Elnora.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I let her go as my Paragon male Shep. It was hard, since I knew she was guilty. But a sickeningly good and decent guy would not gun down a chick on the mere suspicion that something's not right about her, which is all you can really get from the conversation you have with her.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

The first time I thought she was pulling a shotgun to use against me and my mind went into quick-time event mode and I hit the damn interrupt blowing her away immediately.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I did that with my Renegade.

Anyway, I'm off to secure Jack and Samara's loyalty, watch Jack and Miranda fight, break it off with Miranda by siding with Jack, and romance the s*** out of Jack.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Women don't respond to me well when I tell them I want to romance the **** out of em'.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Then you're obviously doing it wrong.
