Its tempting to remove the rachni.
But I am not about to drop a living being in acid, or cause something to go extinct.
No I dont oppose the Genophage, the Krogan were not willing to stop and the STG made them.
That being said I let Mordin keep the data, never know what can happen with it.
Anyone else kill the Rachni queen but oppose the genophage?

Exactly what I've done.smudboy wrote...
Keep everything. Destroy nothing.
The Rachni only want to live, they don't deserve death =/
The genophage was a good idea at the beginning, but the modification was an error to me. I cured it, believing that think would be alright (I'm an idealist I know). For a mother, losing a child is horrible... really horrible. Also, as there would be more birth, I believe the female Krogan would slap their male in the face if they want to bring back a rebellion because the rivalry and violence is, as "Eve" (don't remember her real name), something the male created and all females are allies (or something like that).
Thought I really thought Grunt would die and I almost had a heart attack back then... o_O

I saved the Krogan but also killed the rachni, it was a tough choice to commit a second extinction though though. I would have preferred to capture the queen for the council and take it to a secure location to be questioned, not breed it as some creepy biological warfare weapon like Saren intended. The queen hijacks some dying asari soldier's mind and pulls her strings like it's her meat puppet, like some kind of necromancer, not understanding how freaking horrifying that is to a sentient being.
Then it also starts talking about how her "music" or whatever is beautiful because she's dying,(thats way too goth and evil/creepy for me) and then tells me it's cool for me to kill its children. To me it seemed to not understand that its desires seemed destructive and questionable.
After that it tries to tell me the genocidal war its kind carried out was a misunderstanding without providing any real assurances we won't have anymore "misunderstandings" or it won't come to the same conclusion as its ancestors did once it regains its territory and power. Also if it could be that easily manipulated by the enemy it would put galactic civilization at risk, sometimes in triage you have to save who you can, it seems like saving this creature would put all the trillions of other allies at grater risk than at a greater advantage against the enemy, so it would be safer to let it die then risk all the other lives that could be saved even if that dooms all of its potential offspring for the future( its all by itself wouldn't is genetics stagnate or die out with such a lack of diversity?).
I figured it was lying anyway ( most people in RPGs seem to take words at face value, but I think only actions tell the truth and will usually assume treachery if I have the advantage over the other and it has every reason to be dishonest. Of course this thing is going to lie its exoskeletal pants off as that's its only means of defense, not because it wants to be friendly now).
I felt I had to kill it so that the Saren's geth wouldn't just reclaim it as I couldn't trust it on its own and I didn't have a safe way to transport the creature without fear of it mindcontrolling Liara as she is an asari too and I don't know if it can do this to some other non-dying asari who are close enough proximity. It seemed too much of a liability and too many lives at stake of allied alien races that are proven to be co-opperative or atleast not uniformly hostile. So I flushed it's tank with acid.
I think there were alot of "renegade" choices that made sense to me as the correct or sometimes even the more "moral" choice.
At the citadel battle in ME1, I didn't waste my fleet to save the council not because I put human interests above theirs but because its a bad military descision to waste your reserve forces, battles have been lost by not deploying reserves at the correct moment, I thought the asari commander would understand that. It would have been preferable to try and save the destiny ascenion if I knew could be escorted away from the bulk of the enemy to use its main gun on Sovereign but I might lose too many of the reserves that way and they seem to have decent and many more main canons collectively than one ship, which might be better than one already heavily damaged ship the enemy might fire on and destroy in quick order if it returns to battle anyway. Safe guarding the lives of civillians on the citadel by defeating the enemy Reaper was the priority not saving the civillian leadership at the potential and likely cost of many more lives.
Then In ME3 the new concil says "oh you let the council die for human interesets" I wish I could have said something along the lines of "no, I did a mental risk assessment and it seemed that our odds for victory would be increased if I unleashed a wave of fresh troops upon the enemy at a critical moment." I guess I think differently because I'm an army veteran, maybe. anyone else go half paragon half renegade ( well more like 60% paragon 40 % renegade) out of what they thought was best?
Oh and the ending is nonsense, hold the line! I trid to turn around to investigate the area and see if my squad made it to a different area and the was a part of the ground that was untextured, I tried to shoot god kid, which was stupid because he was some kind of projection. As I couldn't find a way to do anything except follow the enemy's command of picking one of three choices that all seemed evil, I then I fired a pistol at reaper ships in orbit because this all seemed futile before I went to destroy the metal thing which I had no clue what it really was. I did that only because I saw the vision of Anderson doing it, so I figured well... Anderson is a good example to follow so I guess I'll do that
. Also I felt like wiz-kid was just trying to get me to do dangerously stupid things like jump on a deadly beam of energy and touch exposed electronics or discharge my pistol into an explosive device from 5 meters away.
ugh so disappointing. sorry this is so long, first post since finishing this game, never had a reason to use forums before. going to donate to child's play now, doing something good when you feel down is a smart choice.
