Ugh. For Christ's sake.

If Legion is a spy working for the heretic geth, why the hell did he take you to a secret heretic base and give you the choice to wipe out a gigantic boatload of heretics?


This I can't stand his logic by far the worst Logic in history.

Hell, even Jacob proved himself more worthy of trust.  He's upfront about everything.


If memory serves Legion says to you, "We anticipate the exchange of data" that's pretty up front.  Legion is essentially Johnny 5 in space if there is data he must acquire it, not his fault (I admit I'm making excuses here)

I get why you don't trust Legion and I'm sure you mentioned it earlier, but what the hell did Miranda do?


To the first part, again, I'm not trusting a word out of Legion's... speakers?  As far as I'm concerned, he's set precedent that he can lie, and was caught spying on a crew member. 

Miranda?  The Cerberus cheerleader?  The one constantly trying to justify their atrocities?  Not to mention the fact that she's the one running all that spy equipment on the ship and making her little reports to TIM.  She's more like my handler than a crewmember.  Until she was with me at the final battle, and told TIM she resigned, I didn't trust her in the least.

As I've stated already, I wouldn't have even let Legion have the option to defend himself.  His reasoning was irrelevant to me.  I was supicious of him despite him starting to earn some trust.  He's caught red-handed as a spy.  The second Tali stated, "I caught Legion scanning my omnitool!"  I would have stopped her right there and said, "Then shoot him."  After the events of ME1 and the time with Tali in ME2, I trust her completely.  She's even gone against her own people(Fraza's unit) to help Shepard.  She's proven herself completely in my Shepar'ds eyes.  If she caught him spying on her, that's all the proof I needed.


Letting Tali shoot Geth as embodied by Legion would trigger the end of the quarian race. 


If you say so, The Normandy would have been first in line to defend the Migrant Fleet, followed by anyone I could muster.  This includes the Alliance and the Citadel fleets, as they owe me their lives, and already know the danger of the Geth.

Congrats, you just doomed your galaxy to Reaper destruction.

I bet Bioware will have it so if you take a side in the war, you will wipe out the other side, and the side you are on will die from the reapers. if you manage to unite them, they work together ensuring mutual survival.

Ok, so you're just a jerk who doesn't listen to both sides.  i can understand that.  Some people like to believe that they somehow know everything about a situation and that they can make snap judgments about people's characters because they are somehow all knowing.  Even after hearing Legion's perfectly acceptable and believable justification for his actions you still think the best course of action is to kill him.

I thought we just had a difference of opinions, but it turns out you would rather kill someone than listen to what they have to say.

Ah you misunderstood.  I wasn't saying anything about Legion being trusted simply pointing out that he states, right from the get go, that one thing he wishes is to acquire data, he was being up front with you.

Technically it was EDI running all that spy equipment, the reports she sent to TIM were mission reports similar to the ones you sent to the Council (hey Miranda and Kelly you've got 2 secretaries).  I see your point though and fair enough I guess.

Edit: And you could do far worse for a handler (couldn't resist sorry)

The Normandy cannot withstand a force the size of a galactic arm.  The quarians would be decimated before Alliance or Citadel fleets could do anything.

Oh, and just because someone CAN lie doesn't mean they are. By your logic you don't believe anything said by anybody you have ever met. You respond to "The sky is blue," with "No it isn't." You think that because your math and science teachers can lie that anything out of their mouths is a lie. This is all by your logic, if you want to rephrase be my guest.

The Normandy isn't invincible, you can shout 'BUT THANIX CANNONS' all you like but not them or the best damn pilot in the Alliance fleet would keep the force of an entire species's fleet from crushing them. And who else would protect the Migrant Fleet? The Council has continually made it blatantly clear they do not care about the quarians and have taken every chance to kick them while they're down. The only measure I'd see to help them was to send 'relief', put some of them into some kind of population reserve while the rest of their species is obliterated.
The fact that the Alliance and the Council would risk the lives of thousands of ships and crew, because they owe Shepard a few favours is patently ridicilous. If that were true, the Council would have had no problems doing everything they could to help Shepard in the events of ME2, but obviously the inverse is true.

Except for the fact that you have only enounctered "one" Geth and he saved your life, helped you complete the mission you were on and trusted you with the fate of the splinter group of his people. Yes it is irrational to hate an entire race and not trust any member of it because a few of them attacked you. Do you hate all Vorcha, Batarians, Krogan, Salarian, Asari, Turians and Humans too? Because some members of those races have tried to kill you many more times than the Heretics did.

Tali trusts Shepard yes thats true, but it also shows some trust toward Legion or at least being open to the idea of trusting him by backing down, seeing his point of view and giving him some information to send back. If you take the time to get to know these people you will find out that Miranda in the end is very trustworthy and in fact leaves Cerberus. But of course it's easier to make judgements based on what you think rather than learning the truth.


And you're repeating the same things, and not listening to where I dismiss it.  The only proof that I've only encounted one 'Geth', as you put it, is in the words of a spy.  I have zero reason to believe anything he's stated.

I distrust all Vorcha, Batarians, and Krogan as well.  I would be very suspicious and watching them just as carefully as I did Legion.  Grunt got to sit in his little tank all game, as well. 

I find it hilarious when you call it 'hate'.  I don't 'hate' any race in the game.  I distrust those that have proven themselves to be hostile.  This includes Geth, Rachni, Batarians, Krogan, and Vorcha.  The other races, in general, have not been hostile to me, nor have histories of violent, aggressive behavior.  As such, I melted the Rachni Queen, blew up the Geth station, supported the Genophage and destroyed the cure, etc.

None of those races have proven themselves to be a benefit to the galaxy, and in fact have all proven to be violent and agressive.  Yes, that includes the Geth, who mercilessly butchered billions of men, women, and children in the Morning War as well as slaughter anyone that crosses inside the Veil.  Anyone.  Not just Quarians.

Trust is earned, not given.  Miranda and Legion were kept on a short leash precisely because I couldn't trust them as I could most of the rest of the crew.  I don't get the option of getting rid of Miranda prior as the little Cerberus spy she is, nor can I get rid of Legion.  Just the flaw of computer RPG's, you aren't allowed to play your own character, you get the 'illusion' of choice.  It's why half my characters end up set with the pure Paragon path as I treat the game like an elaborate shooter, because no matter what 'choices' you make, they aren't necessarily yours, and don't really matter in the end.

Except that all evidence shows that Turians, Salarians, and Asari (or councillors at least) don't have a word for "gratitude".  As for the Alliance, they couldn't mobilize a fleet (or even a strike force) to investigate the mass abduction of their own people.  What, if anything, do you think they can or will contribute.


Simple.  The Geth are a threat, and everyone knows they are.  It wouldn't be difficult to gain support on a preemptive strike to deal with them once and for all.

Fenix, how many geth could you kill in Legion's loyalty quest? He led you right to them, he gave you the option to wipe the whole lot of them out.

Why would he do that if he were a lying heretic spy?

Geth *Space* is that big.  Resources are still limited within, and they've been isolated there for 300 years.

So you do it because of metagame knowledge, the assumption that BioWare wouldn't screw you like that.  I roleplay my characters.  My main Shepard didn't even let Grunt out of his tank despite all the videos and the like showing him as a squadmate. 

Every single point I'm arguing is from my main Paragade Soldier manShep's perspective.


Bioware? No, all story writers. And I do pity you the loss of Grunt, missing out on a Bioware character is always tragic.

How about another analogy, since you love them so much? The Borg and Hugh.

By your reasoning, would you not, in fact, have killed Hugh?


I don't watch Star Trek(but have seen several of the movies), so your analogy is lost on me;  I don't know who 'Hugh' is.  However, if the situation were the same, I would be suspicious of him and watching him like a hawk for the slightest sign of treachery(spying, in Legion's case).  If he stepped out of line in a manner as Legion did, then yes, I would shoot him.

Asked and answered, many, many pages ago.  I'm not going to repeat it again.  I also stated, like two days ago, that Legion is 'probably' telling the truth.  My Shepard doesn't trust him as blindly as most of you do, and I found his scanning of Tali's omnitool as proof of his suspicions.  Period.

I doubt that.  BioWare has yet to screw over the players through decisions like that.  If anything, the side you support will win, and the other will lose.  Nothing more, nothing less.

Alright I'm going to apologize because the Council always strike a nerve with me so I'm sorry, in advance, for this rant.

In ME1 the Geth attacked a colony in Citadel Space.  They committed an act of war and the Council did NOTHING.  These are the people who ignored the threat of a rogue Spectre until he was beating down their ****ing gates.  Knowing something is a threat has never motivated these three mental deffectives to do squat.

And the Alliance ignored the mass abductions of their own people.  Do you not recognize the neglect it takes to ignore hundreds of thousands of people just disappearing?  Even if they couldn't see a connection when hundreds of thousands of people have just up and vanished you send somebody to investigate.  They only took action when TIM dropped a hint that Cerberus might be involved, do you see how self absorbed this organization is?  Not to mention the Alliance also did nothing after the Geth attacked Eden Prime.

If these people won't act to protect their own what makes you think they'll lift a finger to save 3 fingered space gypsies.

His justification is that they are not "real" Geth, but rather VI controlled Geth duplicates. The heretic base you destroy isn't a real base but rather a fake on designed to fool Shepard into trusting Legion. It's all an elaborate charade designed to trick you.



Personally I think this logic is a bit ridiculous. I respect his opinion but I still find the idea that the Geth went to these lengths to get you to trust Legion a bit absurd and impractical. It also doesn't explain why Legion was on the derelict Reaper. A more reasonable position would be that the Geth are not one unified faction, but Legion's Geth are still hostile and are just manipulating you to take out the heretics.

I just don't see the point in arguing anymore. This Fenix fellow made it clear that he didn't post his piece to be debated, and if it's his opinion that Legion is the absolute evil he is convinced he is, then let him. There's no point arguing this all, is it?

Oh wait. Internet. I forgot.

I don't buy anything I'm told that doesn't seem reasonable.  Again, I gave Legion a bit of rope, but I was still suspicious of him because he was a Geth.  He was caught spying on a crewmember.  Trust destroyed.  The Geth is just a Geth Infiltrator(exactly what his class is and what he was designed for, infiltration).  Shot as such.

First off, the Migrant Fleet is the largest fleet in the galaxy.  Second, The Geth are a known enemy of the Council and Citadel space.  After the events of Me2, I have irrefutable proof of the Reaper's existence.  The Geth were the Reaper's soldiers.  Protecting a fleet we may need against the Reapers, to fight a fleet that we know works for the Reapers...

This isn't even a discussion.  We either fight the Geth now, with the help of the Migrant Fleet, or we face them later when they're backed by the Reaper fleet.  Very easy case to make for supporting the Quarians in this situation.

As I've stated already, I wouldn't have even let Legion have the option to defend himself.  His reasoning was irrelevant to me.  I was supicious of him despite him starting to earn some trust.  He's caught red-handed as a spy.  The second Tali stated, "I caught Legion scanning my omnitool!"  I would have stopped her right there and said, "Then shoot him."  After the events of ME1 and the time with Tali in ME2, I trust her completely.  She's even gone against her own people(Fraza's unit) to help Shepard.  She's proven herself completely in my Shepar'ds eyes.  If she caught him spying on her, that's all the proof I needed.

Ok, so you're just a jerk who doesn't listen to both sides.  i can understand that.  Some people like to believe that they somehow know everything about a situation and that they can make snap judgments about people's characters because they are somehow all knowing.  Even after hearing Legion's perfectly acceptable and believable justification for his actions you still think the best course of action is to kill him.

I thought we just had a difference of opinions, but it turns out you would rather kill someone than listen to what they have to say. 


Again.  Legion's a Geth.  I was suspicious of him being a spy from the moment I activated him.  He proved my suspicions.  End of the story.

I was too. When I got to the part where you have to let him through the firewalls the first time I honestly sat there weighing my options. I didn't fully trust him at this point, and I went out on a limb and gave him a chance.  He proved he could be trusted by not trying to hack EDI, and after that I trusted him completely. 

You never gave him a chance to redeem himself, or even prove himself.  You took a single action that was done with good intentions (Which you refused to see) and called him a liar and a spy. You created a two dimensional image of a person and judged him by it.
