No, I chose concentrate on Sovereign because it's the realistic thing to do. Everything ending happy seems too corny for me. Plus, for me, seving them would have doomed the entire galaxy. In my canon.


 I don't know about you, but having a geth fleet on my back side while I blindly concentrate all my attention on one ship doesn't seem like a good idea. Whether it means saving the Council or not.

Because it sounded really speciesist. Hell, even if we go by the "nationality not race" rule, which I think only applies to governments, saying it about, say, the French would still have been crude and unnecessary.

It's more of cultural-ist and age-ist. A lot of Asari do play the 'experiance' card, whether wittingly or unwittingly.

Yes because its a terrible thing to like decieving liars and thieves.

It'd help if she wasn't working for them.

Xil, didn't we just have this discussion about Cerberus and the Council five minutes ago? The whole 'I want to crush Cerberus, but can't be bothered to work against the Council whom I work for for far graver sins''?

Actually, we had it several hours ago and then you stopped replying, but I'd love to resume it. And my reason here is that, not only do I not really believe that the Council's sins are qualitively greater than Cerberus' (quantitively greater, because the Council commands so many more resources and has been operating for thousands of years longer), but because I can't just wipe out the institution without causing havoc on way too great a scale. Or, likely, at all.

Mintues, hours, it's the same when you have to go to classes.



You've never had a problem putting the Alliance on your enemies list, Xil. And less damage and evil is still less damage and evils.

I no longer trust the Alliance, so... maybe. The Council, though, is far too large on the galactic scene to simply smash without causing tremendous havoc (or a coup) all over Citadel space. That institution needs reform more.


keep in mind that the entire council n everything that they established was made from a predetermined path chosen by the reapers, effeciency n coordination wasnt were they were taking us corruption n instability probably makes us easier to pick off as individual races dan as one galactic community acting as a whole.

How much the Alliance is on my list depends upon how much influence Cerberus has. If the tumor is small and I can rip it out without hurting the Alliance much, wonderful. But if it's spread and has its tentacles spread widely throughout the Alliance's body... well, I'll help it recover as much as I can thereafter.

Wrex - Killing him was not a "renegade" option;


Yeah, it is.  Do it yourself, or order Ash to do it, and you get renegade points. Therefore, it's renegade.  The fact that there's a non-lethal renegade option doesn't make those two choices magically not-renegade.

For real? Then what the hell was Udina smoking in ME 1? He specifically says that new council should be made out of one race alone, humanity.


Depending on the playthrough.  If you are paragon and let the council die, than it is multiracial.


No, there is no all-human council. Ever.

Here's the opening crawl for "Concentrate on Sovereign":

And the one for explicitly abandoning them:

The Council is "human-led" in both instances.

Abandon the Council and Concentrate on Sovereign are the same thing.



No matter what you pick your doing the same thing abandoning the Council so the Alliance can Concentrate on Sovereign.



A true renegade option would be blowing up the DA personally

Renegade is selfish and ruthless it's not exactly evil.



In a lot of ways it made good tactical sense to not save the council and focus on taking out sovereign. But it made no difference in the end so it was just a cosmetic choice.



A more interesting outcome would have been focus on Sovereign - have an easier boss battle. Save council - harder boss battle. That would make the choice meaningful.

Renegades are not selfish Paragons are more selfish.
Renegades promote galactic stability
Paragons are about playing the hero and satisfying their moral compass

Considering Shep was on foot and inside the Citadel, I can see why they didn't go for that.  Or, more likely, even have the idea cross their minds.

Kind of like how the infamous "you're working too hard" Renegade interrupt in Garrus' recruitment mission makes the battle with Tarak easier later on?

So explain all those "Gimme creds nao!" options, sometimes "asked" at gunpoint.

That first one is what plays when you don't import from ME1 and just use the default starter. The second plays whether you picked "Concentrate on Sovereign" or "Let the Council die".

Something along those lines yes.

Paragons have more content because they kill fewer people. Simple.

Besides not quite what he was addressing, this was neither a necessity nor an inherency.

Shiala could have been replaced by Elizabeth (as opposed to random colonist).
Parasini could have been replaced by Lorik.
Rachni Ambassador could have been replaced by grateful Noveria executive.

Etc.


This.

Just because one certain character is gone, doesn't mean you should not create an alternative. Especially since some of these are from major choices.

Hopefully Bioware will take note from this.

Killing wrex was bad choice since he imporves things for his people
Letting council die made people hate humans more

and if you dont save rachni and save all these people you dont really have much incounters from me1 since you killed and let every one die.

I hope me3 favours renegade instead.

When ou kill people, they don't reappear. fact of life. *shrug*

renegades kill the rachni queen = you eradicate the rachni

Archer's research = Cerberus wants to control the geth (enslavement)

all-human council (Udina's and renegade Shepard's plan at the end of ME1) = oppression of all non-humans

Since our "playing the hero" actually keeps galactic stability better than your... whatever it is you do, I think you have little ground to stand on.

But it does have a difference. If not saving the council and just focus on sovereign, proves that every other species were right about humanity. They're selfish, aggresive, and will do ANYTHING to get what they want. No wonder they're hated by everyone in ME 2.

But also to consider is, other species envy the humans. Humanity gets a seat in the council in near decades, while it took other species centurys. Also, humans have done something the council couldn't do: colonize planets in the Attican Traverse, the Skyllian Verge and along the borders of the Terminus System, all volatile regions where the Council has little authority.

But it will be intresting how it all turns out in ME 3. Will the council help humanity in their struggle (saving the council) or/and will other species do it aswell?
