I would laugh pretty hard.
How would you react if saving the rachni queen turned out to bite you in the ass in ME3?

Were it not for the fact that I have a million and one save files where everything is the same except for a change here and there, I'd be pretty irritated to have to play through ME:1 then ME:2 then ME:3 all over again.

Why would she? Shepard is now a hero of the Rachni Race.

I've only done a few play throughs of ME1 but I've always saved the Rachni Queen. I'm an eternal Paragon, and think it would be excellent if the Queen turns against the entire galaxy. It would be good for the story, the council will be pissed at you, and continue to question your judgement. It's like Elnora all over again, there should be consequences for being the good guy.
Plus it means more enemies to kill which makes it more challenging = longer game time and more fun

It's a gamble just like saving the geth is a gamble I really rolled the dice with one shep who saved both thinking what are the odds they both go nuts? But rens have the opposite issue will not saving either bit them in the ass?

Then in future ME games I will have a brand new enemy to fight. If the Rachni live up to thier reputation then it will be more exciting than taking on nameless, faceless mercs and giant cockroaches ( the Collectors ).

My Shepard will say "Well, I gave you a chance" then kill them all and move forward. Paragon is a space Jesus after all, he doesn't expect everyone to change their morality, he just gives them a motivation to do so.

Even though my Shep leans Paragon, I always kill off the Rachni, so it wouldn't matter at all to me.
Giant bugs have no place in the galaxy.

Honestly I'd like to see atleast one major paragon choice in the ME series completely bite us in the ass. As a kind of "This is what you get for being a idealistic moron and a walking cliche."

I would give BW a high five. Seriously, it pisses me off that all of your decisions in ME1 had so little affect on ME2. Oh sure, the names were different, but do any of the missions play out different? If you save the council do you listen to what you say, or help you out in any way?
Personally, I'm hoping for a lot of "bad" end games in ME3, depending on what decisions you made across all three games. Okay, so maybe most of the "bad" end games aren't losing to the reapers, but they involves a lot of losses, like humans are an endangered race, or the citadel gets blown up, or something like that.

Laugh heartily and come here and laugh at the paragons who kept bragging about how smart they were saving those innocent bugs.
Then give BW a high-five as TheDFO said.

Perhaps not, but It's the intelligent thing to do. Paragade is a good mix of the two, more realistic, so to speak.
Plus that asari that you meet in ME2 if you save tha rachni annoys the hell out of me, although that might stem more from my general dislike of asari.

Killing the queen seemed... irrational. I never even looked at it as a choice - she was the only remnant of an ancient race forced into war by indoctrination, and I wasn't about to cause its extinction by pressing a single button. If it turns against me, fine, I'll deal with it right then and there.

Collector base!
Personally I don't see saving or destroying the base making much of a difference. From what we've seen it seems as though EDI already data mined the bases computers. So they (most likely) have the info contained in the base, the only thing they don't have is the actual machinery used. Besides how would a intergalactic boost juice help anyone especially when it is the hands of Cerberus.
No I'm thinking something more along the lines of save a species from dying out and then getting completely blindsided by them.

So far, nothing at all Shepard has ever done has backfired, right? It would be original.
But there are problems with this. If the Rachni are your allies, then there can be consequences for both those who killed it and those who saved it. For example, you could have rachni allies fighting with you in some mission if you saved it; and if you killed it, you have to go through the mission on your own and the mission is harder, and some character could even die because of it. So we have a factible scenario for both possibilities.
But if the Rachni are enemies, then what happens if you killed the queen? There are no Rachni to turn on you, so renegades won't have a factible scenario. You can't design a mission with no enemies.

How is being a good person a cliché? A cliché is something so overused that it has lost its original meaning. The concept of an altruistic hero is such a basic and simple idea that the only way it can lose it's original meaning is if the person trying to understand it has been lobotomized.Admoniter wrote...

If anything, a douchebag hero who kill people left and right and somehow avoids the karmic banhammer is a cliché. A'la, renegade Shepard in ME1 and ME2, the self-righteous murderer who does the absolute minimum of selfless work and spends the rest of his/her time being a gigantic jerk, pissing people off and kicking dogs, for no discernible reasons other than the acts themselves.
I think it's strange when people play their characters like ****s in games and act surprised when they have to suffer some karmic backlash for it, and who then goes on to deride players who go out of their way to help people and get something for it. You can't be a jerk and expect something good to come out of it.
As for the rachni, in-game sources have already established that the rachni were being indoctrinated by Sovereign, and that this was the reason why they were waging war against the Citadel species. It literally cannot come back and bite us in the ass, because that queen is totally psyched Shepard let it live and event went through the trouble of making friends with an asari and having her seek Shepard out to tell him/her how thankful it is and how it's going to help out with fighting the reapers.
Now, I'd be more inclined to believe that there will be some kind of backlash for keeping the original Council around, given what douchebags they have turned out to be.

I can't condemn the queen to death for something she hasn't done.
