Killing them might ****** off the geth though and mess up your chances for relaxed tensions.

Otherwise I'd kill them everytime - for a sentient "species" that values self-determination over all, death is preferable to mind rape.

That's a good point, actually.



It might be seen as more violitory for you to do that.

Ah, I see. Thanks.

Here's a random topic for you - what's the "right" decision with Legion's loyalty mission? The character I was roleplaying had a LI in Tali, so when Tali said "kill the geth" I blew them up. In retrospect I wonder if that hurts their chance for the only possible happy outcome I see - peace between geth and Quarians. Alternatively blowing up those Geth might be the only way to get you a "house on the homeworld" during the war,

I think the whole "mindrape" or "execute" is the hardest decision in the game actually. I'm still conflicted over the metagame aspect.

The mindrape always felt a bit wrong but it seems as if just execute them its a waste I still have trouble choosing what to do there though

I prefer to rewrite them. No need for them to be under the Reapers' control when they can see the good ways of the true geth once again. And even if Legion's geth will gain more numbers, it will probably not change anything regarding the quarian homeworld. The only thing the geth need to stand down is proof that the quarians won't try anything later and that coexistence is possible.

[ElectronicPostingInterface]

Yeah, another aspect that comes to mind to me is that you may need those Geth to obtain the "perfect" ending where you don't die horribly.



Having everything else right for your LI doesn't really matter if you bite the dust fighting the Reapers.



...now that I think about it, DLC in ME3 will be hard to use. The game likely will NOT continue after you beat it.

[thepringle]

ME3 will most hopefully be like 50+ hours long and only need to have weapon packs and stuff

I really didn't have any trouble with this decision, I always rewrite them.
Destroying them is just a waste of resources, rewriting them gives the Heretics another chance. (As Legion said, it's not like they become obedient right away, they just get rebooted and get a chance to reconsider their stance)

What is the most difficult decision for me right now, is whether or not I should keep the Collector Base.
I always kept it in my previous playthroughs, however, the constant exposure to Cerberus' fuckups has changed my stance towards this. I do think that keeping the base is the most logical decision; giving it to Cerberus, however, is not.

Well, I know next to nothing about ME3, but I think if the good ending is achieved, (everyone lives) then the game will continue if there are plenty of sidemissions.

Just speculations.

I usually blow the base up because I don't think that handing it to Cerberus is the best idea.

I've decided to destroy it. Sure, it may give me a tactical or technological disadvantage in the war, but I don't want to waste my time with Cerberus' shenanigans if I give it to them.

And even if it is a better move to preserve it, I don't think Cerberus will give it up so easily in the end.

There should be a retire ending and live with Tali happily-ever-after or keep adventuring with the crew and all.

Going out on adventures sounds like a good retirement plan after defeating a sentient machine race which has done nothing but wiping out all advanced life in the galaxy for millions of years. But relaxing at the house on a peaceful planet sounds like a good idea too. Maybe a mix of both?

Having read the new ME novel and seeing what TIM does with the Collector tech he does have, it does give you serious pause about the brilliance of handing the Collector tech to TIM.

I think it would be cool if ME3 had some ending missions similar to Red Dead Redemption. Like some more less serious, more leisure oriented thing with the crew or LI you know. Just an opinion.

Was this ever a question?

Why would you give the most dangerous thing in the universe to the one person who doesn't actually have ANY ethical restraint?

That'd be like giving Hitler Nukes so he could wipe out the Jews more quickly.

Now... I'd LIKE to have kept the base for myself, and had Mordin, Tali, and EDI scan and upload as much data for ourselves as possible, THEN destroyed it.

Hey.

No spoilers. I haven't read it yet.

I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that EDI did scan the whole base before it got purged/destroyed and she gives us some deus ex machina in ME3.

And I'm okay with that.

Afternoon people!

I'm not giving out even minor spoilers for the book, don't worry.



As for Cerebus - they're a necessary evil in the face of the Reaper threat. Everyone else in the galaxy is being an idiot about it. I plan to use them as much as humanly possible then cast them aside like garbage once the Reapers are vanquished.



However, even I didn't give them the base - I can't see anything positive coming from it.

Same here. If Cerberus wishes to give me assistance, I'll take it, but they will not control me. I love the "neutral" response to TIM's line "I made you Shepard. I brought you back."

"And I'm going to do exactly what you brought me back to do. I'm going to win this war and I'll do it without sacrificing the soul of our specie."

That sounded so much more epic than "Joker, lose this channel."

The first Renegade option is pretty funny:

"I'm sorry, I'm having trouble hearing you. There's a lot of bullshit on this line."

I always go out like that.

First the Renegade option, and then the option to tell TIM that I'm going to stop the Reapers without sacrificing the soul of our specie to do it.

A verbal middle finger right in TIM's face is always satisfying.
