Personally, I do believe in capital punishment in real life. But in Mass Effect 2, when I reached Garrus's loyalty mission, I did not want Garrus to kill Sidonis. Even if he was responsible for the deaths of ten of his comrades, what he was doing just seemed like pointless revenge.

What about you guys?

EDIT: Now that I think about it, Sidonis technically didn't kill Garrus's team, so this doesn't have much if anything to do with Capital Punishment. Sorry for any confusion I might have made.

Not for me, the closest I ever got was Legion's Loyalty mission, and that was only due to the fact that, while I disagree with brainwashing, genocide is far worse IMO, and I was just choosing the lesser of two evils.

Yeah even though I really like Garrus, I didn't want him to kill Sidonis. I felt sorry for Sidonis so I chose the Paragon option and let him live.

The final choice conflicts with my real-life views I guess. I blow up the Collector Base almost every time. In real-life, I would think about it more carefully. You don't want to throw resources away that could help you in your fight against the Reapers.

It depends. One of my Shepards is very close to me. The other two are more variable. So I really have it both ways.

I was the opposite. I'm actually against Capital Punishment in principle, but I let Garrus kill Sidonus because I felt it gave them both some closure.

My Shepards are not me, though (although some are closer than others), so it's easy to ratify my choices. I have a renegade Shep who is just... awful. lol. Jerk Sheprad is a jerk, there are no two ways about it.

The only other one I can think of was Zaeed's recruitment. Shep saved the hostages, then paragoned Zaeed into being loyal. I think were I in her shoes in reality I'd have left his ass behind (not to die, just not to be on my team).

Not really. Steph Shepard is as close to things I would chose IRL if I could.
Capital punishment? Yup.
Genophage: to cure or not to cure? Not.
I think the toughest decision in game I've had to make so far, was the Asteroid X57 hostages.
I want to catch the bad guy, and save the hostages.
IRL, I'd go with saving the hostages. But in game, I kill the terrorist.
That's probably the only thing I can see where my Shep and I part ways.

I always try to do what I would do, at least with my "canon-shep". With one exception. Delivering the evidence on Tali's trial, I don't do it in game because I know the consequences now. But the real "me" would had handed it over, no matter how attached to Tali.

-> I always blow up the geth, brainwashing is a fate worse than death in my eyes.
-> I let Garrus kill Sidonis, but I let him say his peace before getting him shot.
-> I destroy the Collector Base (I may have kept it under different circumstances, but leave it to Cerberus? nope).
-> I always avoid the genophage debate in-game, never been sure where to stand on that.

It isn't genocide since the heretics only made up a small percentage of the total Geth poulation

play as close as I can, though sometimes the options are limited.



I blew up the geth.

I blew up the base.

I had garrus killed sardonis.

I didn't kill the colonists

I killed the council on my play-though (though re-instated an new council with alien/human members thru the neutral one).

I grudgingly got re-instated because I didn't want to burn any bridges with the council.

My Sole survivor probably would have said something about akzue. *cough* cough*

I would have saved the hostages in both BDTS download and in thane's loyalty mission.

Didn't kill Wrex.

Would have told kaiden to shove it if he can't think logically.

Liara... she can be left on illum as support.. doubt that is an choice though.

Letting the rachni queen live - I'm extremely angsty to bugs after been watching to many alien movies (starship troopers, aliens, howard the duck etc.).. That and I hate spiders in particular and the rachni queen comes close enough to warrant acid.
Oh and rewriting the heretics, would rather blow them up. yeah yeah genocide my ass, they are machines - their entire collective memory is stored somewhere and even then, they are machines.
Probably wouldn't have saved the council either, as I would have been focussed on taking sovereign down but when I first started ME2 and found out about the hatecrimes against humans I exited and went back to redo the last battle.

no. I always make decisions that i myself would make for commander shepard and I tend to lean towards the more renegade decisions in the game.

the only decision i was back and forth with was when choosing to re-write the heretics or blow them up. i have no problem with re-writng them because there not organic. it wasn't really an ethical concern to me and i could see how legion and his geth could be useful in the future but i can also see how badly it could end in the long run.

I don't think I've ever disagreed with paragon choice, aside from curing the genophage but I never saw that come up in conversation.

Not really, but it is worth noting that in real-life I'd never want to be a Spectre in the first place.

Biggest ones I've had annoyance with I think are Zaeed's Loyalty and the Balak vs Hostages on X57. I can seperate the team to help Garrus in his mission but I cant do it anywhere else?? I would have liked to have been able to divert a tech to disarm the bomb while I distracted Balak or sent Zaeed and the other sqaudmate ahead while I got a door open for the workers to escape the flames.

I think they could have made Zaeed's loyalty mission a tougher choice. As is it's basically "let these people die for revenge or not". It would have been a harder choice for paragons if they had portrayed it as "sacrifice these people in order to take down the boss of a dangerous merc group".

It would have been a better choice if the only way to get Zaeed's loyaltly was to kill Vido. That way you would actually have a choice with a CONSEQUENCE in the game.

Activating Legion. Theres no way that I would do it in real life but otherwise you pass up a cool character whos also good in combat with the widowmaker. I blow up the geth base every time. Theres no reason to try to re-program the death machines, at least in my mind.

I enjoy poisoning people and keeping medicine from others so that they die.

Occasionally you have to decide between stupidity and moronity (And sometimes you don't even get a choice, like in ME1: "You don't immediately want to help me after being betrayed by Saren?! DIE, ANCIENT AND UNIQUE LIFEFORM THAT ALSO KNOWS MORE ABOUT THE PROTHEANS THAN THE PROTHEANS DID THEMSELVES!"). I generally try to use/find the choice that most closely resembles what I'd do in real life for my main/first playthrough.
But sometimes the choices are.. well... "Wait, so I can either (a) blow up a treasure trove of advanced alien technology and research or (B) hand it over to a bunch of dicks hell-bent on enslaving all other species' in the galaxy?"

Two paragon choices I disagree with:



-Saving the hostages in Bring Down the Sky. Balak has the resources to crash asteroids into planets, and we let him go and taught him that hostages work. Never negotiate with terrorists.



-Letting Vido get away. A lot more people are going to die because Vido is still at large. After the renegade ending Zaeed even says, "I know it doesn't seem like it but you did the right thing." I agree with him. Optimal solution was to save the hostages and radio Joker to Thanix Cannon anything that flies out of the facility, but that wasn't a dialogue choice.

I would have activated him... just with four marines with assault rifles backing me and Not in the bloody AI core.
