She has done nothing to deserve death.  You can't execute people because of what "might" happen.

[Bardox9]

Only it's not what "might" happen. It is what happens. Every interaction we have with her, she is a captive birthing war machines. She is a tragic figure, but one that poses too great a threat to be ignored. You can't just close your eyes and cross your fingers hoping it will all turn out ok.

[KotorEffect3]

At that point the only interaction you have with her is while she is being held prisoner on Noveria by Saren's minions.   Your Shepard has no idea how she will end up later, you only do through meta gaming.  As far as birthing "war machines" goes both cases were due to reaper interference.

I usually kill her.

[Loufi]

No, never. I can't proceed to a genocide for something that might happen.

[Farangbaa]

Personally, I'd never kill her.

 

Some of my Shepards do though.

[Solace]

 It is logical and realistic to kill her off in Mass Effect 1. You cannot know if she will be a problem or not if you set her free. When in doubt, don't act. If you have to though, make the decision that considers the worse scenario.

My Shepard doesn't kill her because my Shepard doesn't want to be that guy who actually did eradicate an entire race.

Also my Shepard likes the poignancy and poetry behind gaining Rachni workers on the Crucible project.

Despite my previous comment, I see the logic in your reply.

I don't. It seems like they were the 1st case of xenocide and it seems like history frowned upon what happened to them.

Give them a second chance to rebuild and especially given later info that they were mind controlled by the reapers/collectors.

As far as I know they were a fairly peaceful and isolationist species. Krogans are probably far worse.

you're not looking at it in context. as far as ingame was concerned, no one knew that the rachni were naturally peaceful and were instead being controlled by the Reapers even back during the Rachni Wars "those who sing with oily voices." no one knew that, no one really knew it for sure even through ME 1 2 3.

 

note I am not advocating geno-/xenocide, I am only talking in-universe.

I kill the queen with my pure renegade characters. My pure paragon and mixed characters spare her.

[RanetheViking]

I usually let her live. Having a Rachni Queen owe you one is better than killing her.

 

For my Shepard anyway.

[JanewayReg]

Well, they found an ancient egg and hatched it. Why kill the rahni queen and not them for doing it.

 

So, yes, my Shep lets her live. The queen did not do anything anyway.  [Mumble something]

[meatisadelicacy]

I never kill her. Seems a bit much to commit genocide to me, as much as Bioware seems to like making us. 

[Cknarf]

Even in my first run through the trilogy, before I knew she'd be an asset later, I let her live.  I wasn't going to destroy an entire species.

[Inprea]

I never kill her. She listened to the death of her species and then was awoken in a lab where her children were taken from her after she was forced to give birth plus she was mind raped by an asaria apparently. When I consider everything she went through I'm surprised that she's as well composed as she is. I don't believe in punishing the children for the sins of her parents and at that time she was purely a victim. I actually wanted to kill the scientist that abused her like that more then I wanted to kill her.

 

Also I can't help but reason with over 1000 years of technological development the galaxy should be better prepared to fight the Rachnia this time around. Really for council technology to advance so little in the past 1000 years since the rachnia wars it makes me wonder what the heck their scientist have been doing. 1000 years of working with the mass relays and they haven't figured out how they work yet? It kind of makes everyone look stupid.

[Brickyracer8655]

I almost always save the Rachni Queen. I killed her on a renegade playthrough, and I felt awful about it.

[Bellethiel]

Same here. Though I still feel extremely guilty when I kill her while playing renegade. Destroying whole species is a bit too much for my nerves. q.q

[patrickgilln7]

Doesn't matter either way since Mac Walters wrote ME3....

[Larry-3]

The crabby-bug-lobster lady? No I never have.

[Darius M.]

I let her live just to ****** off the turian councillor. 

 

Kidding, but i usually don't kill her because the way I figure it, the other races have killed the rachni off before, and if they've done it before, they can do it again. Plus I would think it would be at least a reasonable amount of time before they would be strong enough to pose a threat to the galaxy again.

[Stronglav]

I hate bugs.Kill kill kill.Why?Cuz I wanna.

Council is very angry at you if you let her live.And with good reason.

[MEuniverse]

I did not kill the queen in every playthrough.

[NoRush20]

I don't kill her because I read Ender's Game as a kid and that decision would haunt me.
