To hear about Sidonis fear or his misery will make him appear grey. Garrus doesn't want that.

That is so true.


I missed the option to talk to Sidonis I swear, this is killin me. And 4 playthroughs all killing the little bastard. Now I know why that mission wasn't so epic for me. Disappoint I am.

@Collider
mmmmmmm-naaahhhhh. It's far too serious for that thread.

I like grey missions so long as they don't feel didactic. Sometimes I think Bioware beats you over the head with them. Grey is USUALLY the case, but it is not ALWAYS the case. There are still Gandhis and Hitlers running around. They are rare but they do exist. And sometimes there are happy endings. No happy endings ever is just as unrealistic as always having one. That's why DA Awakenings got on my nerves. It felt like a postmodernist sermon to me.

Now Harkin DID deserve to be shot. See, that's not grey at all. Harkin is a bastard without exception or qualification.

Please, Collider, you're being off topic.

Interesting, you are correct, those areas are added for flavor and roleplaying and....actually testing your mind (or butchering it :D) overall I'm glad Garrus' mission is going to stress me out, and I'll probably love Awakenings, too.

I agree with you. Although I've seen some people who said it's best to stop Garrus so Garrus doesn't think that violence will solve everything (roleplaying wise).



I felt that the Heretic decision was rather gray. Either way it feels like I'm "killing" the Heretics.

really? never let Garrus shot him. Always had C-Sec taking care of him. Loved, how Garrus punched him before leaving though and then makes this remark to Shep about how he did NOT shoot him. xD 

And YAY, happy 100! 

And I love grey missions. i like that not everything is black and white. I love making decisions. And the fact that I sometimes just leave the game for about 30 minutes just to make one haha.

Well, maybe not shot.  That was excessive.  I meant only that he is an unqualified bastard and if anybody deserves to be shot on principle it would be an unqualified bastard.

I actually let Garrus shoot him for metagaming reasons. When Garrus shoots Harkin, my Shep thinks "dang, Garrus is entering some dangerous territory here." It makes her concern and that "you were pretty hard on Harkin" line in the aircab seem more grounded. It gives her added fuel for why she doesn't let him shoot Sidonis. She becomes very concerned about Garrus state of mind there.

MainShep killed Sidonis the first chance she got - you don't get to hear his side of the story that way, but it's not like MainShep cared about his side. (She also let Garrus shoot Harkin and said she wouldn't have shot him in the leg. She's still mad at him for flirting with her in ME1.) Some will choose the option to make him talk and then kill him because they feel Garrus would get more closure that way.

Besides, they would be such hypocrites if they stopped Garrus. If the situation were reversed, they wouldn't want to be stopped. Some of them would shoot through their teammates if they got in the way. But I think I have more Renegades/Renegons than you guys. xD

Most of the choices are easy for me when I get the character planned out. It took a while for me to decide what MainShep should do about the heretic geth though. In the end, she rewrote them. Her morals don't come into play at all during that mission - she really had no opinion on them, no feeling for or against them, and just wanted Legion to make the choice. Of course, if someone just told her "you'll probably get a geth army like Saren if you save them", it would have ended that debate.

Fat chance, Garrus is just rad like that, and as long as I spare Sidonis we should be good. Now I can split that mission between my paragon and "renegade" Shepard! Sweet!

And I guess my mind's been change on the Heretic thing...I usually always try to convince/brainwash something to be on my side before outright destroying it, but that doesn't make it black and white, I guess.

@J4N3_M3
Indeed, I don't think your decision can lose any Garrus badassery as far as Harkin goes. And I too still sit idle on decisions for far too long, especially when I've been in these situations over and over :D

@Ragabul
I myself thought he was a little rough with Harkin...as much as my scum sense was tingling towards Harkin, it didn't feel like a personal thing between him and Garrus besides information. To be honest, Garrus seemed a little psycho in that mission, but I loved the intensity.

"KEEP RUNNING HARKIN WE'LL FIND YOU!"

"Holy crap Garrus, I'm gunna make your day".

Oooh I see, so if you don't "step out of the way" first chance, you can hear what Sidonis has to say? It seemed so clear-cut, I'm gunna have my vision tested I think, all my playthroughs are forfeit.

And I figured out why I rewrote the Heretics; didn't Legion say 3 more processes preferred rewriting to destruction?
Yeah, I'm that simple :whistle:

lol doesn't help that everyone says after that and the genophage cure research and everything that Shepard is practically Saren :D

This has been fun. I'd love to stay and chat longer but

"Aww, cmon Garrus, it's page 100, practically your birthday"

"Then my birthday wish is for you to leave me to my calibrations"

"Fine! And even though I know you'll blow me off again, I'm gunna come back tomorrow for a chat! Whata you say about that?"

"Can it wait for a bit?"

On the Heretic decision, I tend to be very, VERY leery of brain-police "I'll make you think like I think" stuff. I guess that's just the American in me. We are big on that 1st amendment (even when it means scary people like the Klan get to rant.) However, I like Legion's reasoning there. "The Heretics have chosen to take away our right to self-determinate with this virus. We choose to defend ourselves." So the American/theist in me says that killing them is better than taking away their very identity, but the pragmatist in me says "they understood the potential consequences when they made this decision" and "having multiple more billion geth defying the Reapers really helps my long term goals to defeat them." So I usually rewrite them, but I feel dirty doing it.

Also, here's a somewhat trippy thought I had concerning Legion. He says that each of his processes is roughly comparable to a VI. If each process makes up its mind independent of the other processes and then a "consensus" is formed, how can any one process make an informed decision? The geth only gain sapience via networking. If every given process has the intelligence of a VI and makes a decision on its own, isn't that like flipping a coin? A VI doesn't have the necessary understanding to make an informed decision. Doesn't that make any "consensus" formed in such manner the equivalent of drawing numbers out of a bag? Is there any real moral or logical understanding in that?

I also note that Legion says only his "higher order" runtimes are forming consensu so maybe "higher order" means "sapient" and the purely VI type processes are left out of decision making.  If you look when he says "X number prefer rewrite and Y number prefer destruction" the number is actually lower than the thousand processes he contains.

Oh, and Garrus.

MainShep likes the idea of becoming more like Saren. :D She has her krogan/geth/rachni army. And yeah, the fact that Legion's concensus was slightly in favor of the rewrite was the main reason she chose that option.

I don't loose sleep over it or anything, but it does feel like brainwashing.  I kept quibbling and wanting Legion to make that decision for me.  That is the one part of the game where my conscience crapped out on me and I had to run purely on logic.  I tend to prefer using both.  My morals say "the best thing about being alive is being able to self-determinate.  If you can't self-determinate you might as well be a rock."  Is there anything more hellacious than being a sapient rock?  A self-aware being with the ability to reason who is not allowed to use that reason for anything.  It's Decartes' Evil Daemon.  I had rather be dead.

The True Geth are still aligned against the Reapers no matter what you do. The Heretics are many, but they are only 5% of the "Geth." I saw destroying them both punishment for they're actions against organics and their continued violent animosity towards them, and the preventing them (obviously) from believing in the same anti-organic dogma.

I can go with this.  It's another 50-50 type decision for me.  I can go either way.  I'm explaining my paragade's logic there.  My paragon values life above anything so for her killing them was out of the question.  Where are you getting that 5% number?
