Character Background : Spacer.
I didn't really want my Shep to have a tragic background. The Spacer background gave him more incentive to want to join the Alliance, because it would make his parents proud of him. With the Colonist background, his whole family gets killed, and if I was on Mindoir, I probably would have gotten myself killed as well in some stupid attempt to save them. Also, I'm not really a 'gang' person, so Earthborn was out as well. With Spacer, not only are his parents alive (well, at least the mother is; never heard anything about the dad), but his mother is
in command of a starship.I wish my parents were that cool.<_<
Military Background : Sole Survivor.
Not that I'd be able to survive a Thresher Maw that easily, but I am
not a War Hero capable of holding off Batarians
single-handedly, and neither am I a ruthless **** who would get two-thirds of his unit killed.
class : Infiltrator.
No matter what, I play the Sniper in everything. Hell, I'm a pretty good shot in real life.
Gender : Male.
I've played way too many games with Jennifer Hale in, so I thought that I'd give Mark Meer a go. That, and well, I'm male. Contrary to what most people say, I think that he did an okay job.
Morality : Paragade.
At least, I hope that you can call it Paragade if you get 100% Paragon and 20% Renegade. I'm generally a nice guy, but some situations are just way too extreme and really tick me off.
The Council : Alive.
Don't get me wrong, I would have gladly killed off the Council; It'd serve them right for locking me down and not believing me about the Reapers. What stopped me, though, is that I kind of foresaw the outcome of ME2 if I did; every other race would just hate us and view us as their conquerors rather than their rescuers, whereas if we saved them, the other races would accept humanity, as we would have shown them that we were ready to stand and defend the other races, and the Council would be eternally grateful.
(Before any of you start accusing me of metagaming, you should know that I am speaking about my first time/canon playthrough, so I was going 'PLEASE DON'T FAIL!!!' the whole way through the 'Save the Council' cutscene.)
So, you can understand how annoyed I was in ME2 when they
still didn't believe me.
Human Representative: Captain David Anderson.
While I
know that Udina is better at politics than Anderson, I wouldn't trust Udina to make me a sandwich, let alone represent humanity in the galactic commuity. At least I can trust Anderson to not put himself first. Anyone who locks down the potential saviour of the galaxy deserves nothing more then to be sent to his room by Anderson. Which he is in ME2, quite amusingly.
The Collector Base : Destroyed.
As I recall, the last time we tried to use Reaper tech, the whole thing blew up in our faces and the entire crew(save for Joker)got kidnapped by the Collectors. I wouldn't be surprised if the Reapers had some kind of contingency plan, just in case somebody managed to defeat their race of minions. If I'd kept the base, the Reapers might have activated a self-destruct system, or an indoctrination device, in ME3. As funny as that would be, considering it would be Cerberus personnel working on it, I'm not going to take that kind of risk.
Rachni Queen : Alive.
You heard it yourselves; the Rachni Queen doesn't have a clue about what the hell happened in the war. She needs to form her own opinions, and the act of letting her go should at least set her on the path to believing that other races are alright.
That, and if she can sufficiently rebuild her race in time, they'll be valuable allies against the Reapers.
Urdnot Wrex : Alive.
Wrex is an awesome character, so I really wanted to get him through alive. His anger is understandable; like his says, it's the fate of his entire race we're talking about. But when the only two options are extinction or slavery, it's a tough call to make. I figured that, if there's a cure, it can be remade, only by someone less hellbent on the destruction of the galaxy.
Virmire : Ashley Williams nuked.
Save for Morinth, Ashley is my least favourite squadmate in the entire series so far. I picked her to go with Kirrahe, as it was quite clearly described as a suicide mission, and I preferred Kaidan over Ashley. But then with Kaidan being the damn fool that he was, activating the nuke, I had to decide whether to: save more people, but save the character I hated the most and leave the bomb where the Geth could potentially destroy it, or save the character I preferred and secure the bomb, but I might lose Kirrahe's team.
Wound up saving Kaidan, but I was pleasantly surprised to find Kirrahe and his team on the ship after Virmire, which means that all Ashley managed to do was get herself shot by the Geth.
Casulties : Just Ashley. Everyone survived the Suicide Mission.
Genophage Data : Held onto it.
Whether it was the best solution or not, a species-sterilising virus is not a good idea. The salarians only developed it as a last resort, but the turians just bombed the Krogan with it as soon as they could get their hands on it. Mordin may say that the Krogan population expansion resulted in war, but he also says that responses are impossible to truly predict.
It'll probably come in useful somewhere in ME3, most likely as leverage to convince the Krogan to take part in the war against the Reapers as shock troopers. I trust Wrex to use it right.
Heretics : Rewritten.
Legion himself tells us that the true Geth wish organics no harm, not even the quarians. They're even acting as Rannoch's caretakers, in memoriam to the quarians who died in the Morning War. Which is awesome. Making a trusted ally stronger by rewriting an enemy is a very good idea, even if the heretics only consist of about 5% of the total Geth populaton.
Samara/Morinth : Samara.
Because I'd rather have a Justice League asari over a space Black Widow who
still wants to kill me with snoo-snoo.
Love Interest(s) : Tali' Zorah vas Normandy.
Never had a love interest in ME1; I hated Ashley. Liara, on the other hand, was actually quite attractive, probably more so than I'd like to admit. The thing is, I've never really liked the 'Space Babe' types. If Liara had been human, I would have romanced her without a second thought. But, she wasn't, so I didn't.
Tali, on the other hand, really made me feel for the character. Her romance was so well done; she's a spunky engineer who you've been friends with since pursuing Saren, then you find out that she's had a crush on you since you met, and you realise that you feel the same way. Then you start talking about the possibility of her having her first intimate experience with you, and she just turns into an awkward, shy teenager.
D'awwwwww.
Dr. Saleon : Dead by Garrus' hand.
I'm not about to argue with my brogarrus. Besides, Saleon's expriments were just sick and wrong; he deserved it.
Tali's Pilgrimage : Gave her the Geth data.
Well, why the hell not? She's my friend, it might help in reclaiming their homeworld and understanding the Geth, and I don't give a damn what the Alliance thinks about it.
Zhu's Hope : Saved(with the exception of Ethan Jeong, bloody Charm meter.<_<).
I'm not about to kill brainwashed human colonists just for basically being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Lantar Sidonis : Dead.
But only after some talking with him. In the end, it seemed like killing him was the best thing for both of them.
Tali's Trial : Shouted down the admirals using Charm.
Whenever I watch it, I just think to myself '
Pwned.'
Quarian/Geth War : Recoomended that they not go to war.
Neither sides need to throw lives away in a conflict that they don't need. I hate having to agree with Zaal' Koris, but he's the only one making any kind of sense right now.
Ronald Taylor : Got him to shoot himself.
10 years of practically enslaving his crew, exiling/killing all other males, keeping the women for his own 'uses'...ugh. He doesn't deserve to live after that kind of treatment.
Aresh : Dead by Jack's hand.
It may be Cerberus' fault, but Jack's just violent by nature. It seemed like the best thing to do.(Well, not for Aresh...
)
However,
a bullet to the head does not solve everything.<_<
Miranda and Oriana : Told Miranda to talk to her.
Not only does Oriana deserve to know that she has a sister looking out for her, but we're about to go on a suicide mission; Miranda needs some kind of closure, just in case she doesn't come back.
Haven't done Zaeed and Kasumi's missions, because I don't have Xbox Live. It sucks, I know.:crying:However, if I did, I would probably have done this:
Vido Santiago and the Miners : As bad as it seems, I probably would sacrifice the miners to go after Vido.
Zaeed spent 20 years chasing after that guy; it's worth it if we get to take down the leader of the Blue Suns and I'm not going to let two decades of his life go to waste just to save some random workers.
Kasumi's Graybox : Would have told her to keep it.
Screw the data that might incriminate the Alliance; the most cherished memories of their lives are in there. She deserves to have good memories before saving the galaxy.
EDIT: Edited to add missions not initially included.
