sorry if its been asked before.

that guy annoys me.  I find it difficult to be mean to him, but I also hate being nice and encouraging him to keep annoying me, so I'm wondeinrg how would it affect the imported into ME2 character if I just avoid him all together?

does he still show up in ME2, or does he end up killing himself?  has anyone tried doing that before?

[ZoSo159]

If you talk to him both times he will show up on Illium but that is only after you talk to him twice in ME1. If you want to see him make an idiot of himself in ME2 don't tell him to butt off both times or eles when you are riding an elevator it will say how he was killed after attacking two turians.

[jeweledleah]

but what if I don't talk to him at all? like completely ignore him?

then he's gone for good.

You can be nice to him in ME2, which more than likely means he'll be back in ME3

[jeweledleah]

thank you guys I've been nice to him before I even tried to be evil to him, but if there's one character that I'd rather not ever see again - its Conrad Verner. I don't hate him and I cannot bring myself to outright kill him off, but he annoys the crap out of me. just wasn't sure if outright ignoring him would result in no more Conrad Verner in ME2 and beyond

I at first had a terrified sneaking suspicion that if you died in the suicide mission you'd have to play as Conrad Verner in ME3. There really could be no greater punishment for dieing than that lol.

Is Conrad an XBox exclusive character? If so, maybe the XBox version of the new Mortal Kombat game will feature him since the Playstation gets Kratos.

LMAO!! 

edit to add on topic answer -> he can show up, but he's glitched and acts like you took the Renegade route no matter how you actually behaved.

I take the middle option with him on the first two and then the "Here's A Test" dialogue option.... everytime. After that I don't feel so bad shooting him in the foot 2 years later. I still help him though, doesn't mean I have to like it.

[Abispa]

@ Beocat -- Brilliant. Thank you. Not only is that a great idea, the amount of fan-boy whining that will take place on these forums would be epic.

It's not like you're forced to recruit him for picking the paragon responses. You just tell him to go home without hurting his feelings. Sticking a gun in his face as a renegade Shepard is satisfying though.



He does mention that he has a wife. I'm curious as to how their relationship is like. Conrad seems like someone who would have pictures of Shepard all over his house, with a shrine dedicated to him.

She paid for his ticket in full to get him offworld...  It sounded to me like she had the right idea.

Yes, I imagine that she got him offworld, changed her name/appearance and moved somewhere far away.

he bugs me every time I go shopping in a citadel though :/ its like dude, leave me the hell alone, but if I just tell him to shove off - he goes and stupidly kill himself :/ I don't dislike him THAT, so I'd rather just pretend I don't see him as I'm sprinting down the stairs.



him having a wife always makes me wonder...I wonder if his "wife" was actually his mother? wouldn't put it past him to exaggerate to make himself look more worldly.

[naledgeborn]

Oddly enough I always pictured Conrad's wife to be fine as hell and actually very supportive of him. Some thing like Jessica Rabbit from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" Something that would make everyone scratch their heads but very epically funny.

[Abispa]

In ME3 there should be a scene when you're at Conrad's house and you discover that his wife is the ME equivalent to Norman Bates' mother.

[nevar00]

I have to say... I love Conrad. I think the guy is hilarious. I can't wait to see what they have in store for him in ME3... I'm guessing he sacrifices himself for Shephard in some big noble death scene.



... or he trips and falls into a nuclear reactor again, that wouldn't be surprising either.

[Abispa]

Is Conrad in the PS3 version? I know I've asked it before, but I can only read through so many posts before my eyes explode.

I actually want him to do something epic and heroic in ME3. Like somehow, mainly by chance of being in the right place at the right time, doing something that ends up saving a colony, but not without some kind of sacrifice. I want him to find out what it actually means to be the hero he keeps dreaming of being.

Then, when Shepard congratulates him, he actually grows up a bit, and realizing the horrors a hero must face, says something like "This isn't... I never imagined it would be like this, Shepard. How do you do it? How do you deal with the loss? How do you handle the fear?"

To which Shepard can reply, "I'm always afraid, Conrad. I've been trained to push it aside and get the job done, but it's always there. As for the losses? It's something I have to live with every day of my life."

"I understand how stupid it was for me to try to be you, Shepard. I understand why you kept sending me home to my wife. I truly respect you, Commander Shepard, but I don't want to be you any more. I... I just want to go home."

"You did well, Conrad, and I'm proud of you. Your wife is a very lucky woman."

"Aye aye, Commander." Conrad stands at attention and snaps off a crisp salute, and then walks to his wife standing nearby. He gives one last look at Shepard and then they walk away, arm in arm.


Or something along those lines. I want him to get his moment in the spot light, and I want to see him grow up and gain some wisdom.

As annoying as he is, I just can't hate the guy.


edit: And, of course, for those who no longer have a living Conrad Verner in their play through, it can either be Shepard who saves that particular colony or some random colonist who does it, and those folks simply miss out on this cut-scene (and have it replaced with something fitting their situation).

Maybe the next time you see him he has a bunch of misfit Turian, Quarian, Asari, human, Krogan, and a cool toaster that accidentally achieved artificial intelligence and they've formed their own squad.

LOLOLOLOLOL:lol:

[JamesMoriarty123]

As the complete opposite to what Interactive Civilian said, I would like a scene in ME3 where you walk into a bar and just as you open the door you witness Conrad getting his kneecaps blown out.



Or you see him wandering the slummy wards of the Citadel in a wheelchair after being crippled by some gangsters he tried to tangle with.



In other words, something that would actually happen in real life if some tool just got it into his head to try be a hero/badass without actually having any training or being a natural born killer.
