I had 6 pages to read through so appologies for answering old questions from a few pages ago.
I lost Thane on the suicide mission, the first time I played ME2. I picked him to lead the second fire team for some stupid reason. I also lost all the crew except Dr Chakwas as I messed about mopping up side quests before going through the Omega 4 relay, but that femshep is now gone.
It's so easy to keep everyone alive through the suicide mission and the game sign posts who you need to pick so clearly that if you want deaths it feels like you have to engineer them on purpose. Of my three Shepards only Lenneth had some squad members die. Those being Jacob and Jack. Jacob volunteered to go through the vents, so she let him and Jack got carried away by the seeker swarms because Miranda failed with the biotic barrier. Zaeed also bought it, but he was left to die in a fire after the mission was complete.
I do have a save with only Tali, Garrus and Miranda alive, just to see how things play out in ME3. On the same save, Grunt's still in his pod, Legion was given to Cerberus. and half the crew is dead.

*Speaking of Sha'ira, did anyone else unintentionally wind up smexing the Consort?
Yes, during my first ever femshep playthrough on the 360. She was full on renegade so the bottom right answer was picked for pretty much everything. Bit of a surprise to say the least.

Question of my own. Have any of you created a Shepard who ultimately agrees with Cerberus in some capacity or perhaps even likes TIM? The inevitable follow up being would they stick with Cerberus and renounce ties to the Alliance and Council?
No. All my Shepard's have disliked TIM and/or Cerberus, and all of them have blown up the collector base, but for different reasons.
Hrist as a sole survivor despises TIM and Cerberus. Firstly for what happened on Akuze and then finding all those Cerberus bases and the experiments they were conducting in ME1 sealed the deal. She put up with him because she had to during ME2, but she was never going to give him something as potentially dangerous as the collector base to misuse.
Lenneth doesn't necessarily hate TIM, though she does think he's an idiot who's every scheme seems to back fire spectacularly. She also get fed up with him constantly lying to her about pretty much everything. The fact he
really wanted the base made the decsision for her. She blew it up just to spite him and ****** him off. She can be a real vindictive **** when she wants to be.

Silmeria is a full on paragon. She would never trust someone who condones the type of experiments Cerberus performs, or someone who so willfully and callously throws other peoples lives away, and hides behind the claim that they are doing it for the greater good.
I suppose I could do a playthrough with one of the above characters and change them in to a Cerberus fan, but they're such a Scooby Doo villain of an outfit I dont think I want to.

I have a LI-related question.
Has anyone's FemShep "cheated" on their ME1 LI, yet you intend to try and get back with them in ME3 (or in the LotSB DLC or the undeniable upcoming Alliance DLC! Hope you're listening, Bioware)
Only Hrist romanced someone in ME, which was Liara and I can't see her with anyone else, so no cheating femsheps for me.

I originally wrote this in another thread, and a
few people found it funny, so I thought I'd blog it and post in here.
Enjoy (hopefully)!
Very Secret Diary of Commander Zara Shepard
Very funny. Excellent stuff.
