And um... I'll use this opportunity to advertise another story of mine. It has Saren/Nihlus, but the central pair is actuallyNihlus/Garrus. Didn't think it possible? Check out The Candidate.

Ah yes, the walls of text that used to be produced on this thread always used to brighten up my morning, Arcana was usually at the forefront of that. Oh well, I'm sure she's just busy having a life, unlike the rest of us.Chewin3 wrote...

there’s a stillness, intensity, and intelligence inherent to him, which only makes him a stealthy and wise warrior. As a man, he has tremendous honour, no matter how Machiavellian. He is efficient, genius, and strongly directed.

Saren’s spirit reminded of Vader in that there was inner conflict of serving an overlord of seductive power and a good, yet betrayed heart, who wants what is right, and ultimately, be set free."

His subservience makes him a tragic slave, he knows it, and has to face an ultimate choice. Though a villain, he’s kind of a tragic hero of sorts. I was hoping to have him lose control slowly."

...Agreed on him shooting himself as a means to end it for him with "no other way for him." Clearly [IF charmed, or talked down in some way], Saren can see theres hope against the reapers. But with all that he's done...heck - and what he's HAS become, he saw it was too late for him to make some sort of change. Shooting himself proved willpower but also in a way stopped allowing himself to continue to help the reapers in any sort of way. Also I guess maybe think shooting himself as a means to take responsibility for the horrible things he's done. His words and tone portrayed that. He did also leave it to Shepard to put an end to all this since he obviously cant anymore. Thats the one tragic thing about Saren.
Ditto. If you hadn't said that, I surely was going too. His portrayal and views on Saren, a character he himself voice acted; thus giving him a connection to this character on such a deep level that many of us can't comprehend [ok we can, but you get what I mean] hasn't tampered with my own views on Saren either. On the contrary - its actually further confirmed and solidified my own opinion on him because I shared the same view point. Saren is a complex character, and its because of that that I actually liked him as a villain. As a person, pass. You wont see me sharing a drink with the guy - but I still defend him as one of my fav antagonists. When it comes down to it, I love him because I hate him. XP He's in one of the top spots of my "fav villains of all time" list.Lady Olivia wrote...
After reading this, I am content in the certainty that my view of Saren is not at all unfounded, rose-colored or corrupted by reading and writing too much fan-fiction. In fact, Mr. Tatasciore, as a reliable judge of Saren's character, confirmed most of the ideas I hold dear, and gave me many more to ponder on. I hope this will soften the hearts of others here as well, and if it doesn't... oh well. We have done our best.
