As much as it would hurt me...I think so.

[Finis Valorum]

That depends the more Paragon ones would most likely rather sacrifice themselves than Liara or Kaidan the Renegades on the other hand would be more likely to look out for number one first.

Eh, the Reapers will come around again. Garrus won't. I'd sacrifice my Shepard before I'd sacrifice Garrus. I would sacrifice the galaxy before I would sacrifice my Shepard. Ultimately, My Shep is selfish when it comes to that sexy turian.

Honestly, it isn't Shep's fault that no one believed the ever present threat of the Reapers. In the words of Randy Marsh from SouthPark,"WE DIDN'T LISTEN!" Let the Council sacrifice themselves. Shep has died once before. She is off the payroll. Maybe their beloved use of air quotes will save them. The Reapers can't dispute that logic.

Well put Sticky.
And is that Kazuya M?   Where's mah cookie! 

And another option for BW, though I hope and think that they WILL NOT take this route would be a Halo-ish type ending where if you destroy all life in the galaxy you take away the Reaper's food.  But then again, it is a very half-baked idea on my part (one that I came up with in less than 5 minutes, and quickly dismissed as silly).  

But again, I really do hope that BW stays away from the "save LI or galaxy" cliche'd type of ending.  They are better writers than this.

I'm afraid it was Sanzo from Saiyuki! But you get a consolation prize...PANCAKES!

I could understand them going for a Shep sacrifice. It would be one of the choices, of course. Nothing forced. But when they start messing with Garrus...Then all support is lost. D:<

Yep.
Would suck, but oh well, its just a video game.

I'd let the Galaxy burn for you
My heart beats for the one who is mine so true
Burn baby burn - the Galaxy awash in the fire
They'll never find us - I shall hide with you - my burning desire

Trillions of souls screaming out in the night
Fires still burn, Reapers shall purge
I will sleep warm with you in my bed, never to leave eachothers sight
my cup runneth over - as does my urge

Final screams piercing the darkness
A shared glass of champagne as the cycle of life begins anew
the silence of a galaxy at peace - no more harshness
all of our days left will be too few

[LOLandStuff]

Good luck continuing your relation with your LI without them being haunted by the death of millions, billions or whatever because of your selfish act.
You'd have next to you a vegetable than the person you knew before.

[Ghost Warrior]

I don't know,I think I would probably sacrifice my LI. But I if there was an option to sacrifice myself to save both LI and other people,I would most definitely choose that. Most heroic option there is.

[Wonderllama4]

Yes. But only after a proper goodbye... without clothes

[Varus Praetor]

I'm unsure how letting everyone living in Zion be massacred only to be replaced by a handful of tube babies qualifies as "saving" the city.

[PauseforEffect]

It would be pointless to preserve the life of a soldier trained to die for the sake of many.
And yet....the Akuze survivor Shepard who sacrificed Kaiden to spare Ashley's family grief would not be able to do that again. Not for Garrus. Even if he resented her for not saving his family over him.
The Butcher of Torfan I played however has no particular problem with either choice so long as she survives.

[CuseGirl]

I've risked my virtual life for Miranda countless times, why stop now?

[starwarschewy]

would not sacrifice Liara would feel horrible

[LOLandStuff]

Some would feel horrible for sacrificing their LI but are totally ok to let civilians die. Innocent people and children. Let others perish who are just as in love as you and simply doom the galaxy.
Oh dear...

You wouldn't.  Those of us who are actually veterans trained to sacrafice for the good of the many - to defend the Constitution, and the American people.  I expect that Miranda and Shepard would do no less.

That's a cliché.

It all depends on how susceptible to such survivor's guilt a character is. I can see it with Tali, but Miranda....not so much. In the end, most will likely be glad to be alive like everyone else who survives.

Risking your life is one thing, throwing it away quite another. As I said, if it was the only way to win my Shepard would sacrifice himself before his LI, but as long as it's still a winning scenario he'd accept some more deaths on his shoulders for staying alive together with his LI. Possibly, it would be the only selfish decision he ever makes, but there is a point where fate owes him, so to speak. Without him, they would *all* be dead.

I disagree. Given how mission-focused she is, Miranda would likely be the first to object.

Perhaps, but she'd not be haunted by guilt after the fact for a decision made by Shepard. Apart from that, the mission is to defeat the Reapers and to save humanity and the organic species of the galaxy. That goal would not be endangered by Shepard's action - as I said, the premise is that it's still a "we win" scenario.

Let's presume that among the people you let die to save Miranda is her sister. Then what?

[AerisBru]

I would sacrifice Kaidan, but only if I died too. I'm a fan of tragic romances.

Personally, I would still save Miranda. Oriana seems to be a nice and intelligent girl but Miranda is an amazing woman and humanity will need people like her to rebuild itself after the war is over.
I'm aware that Miranda would never want to see Shepard again, tough.

I agree. But in that case, my Shepard might as well sacrifice himself.

Let's hope it doesn't come to that. It would be a forced tragic outcome - I hate those.

[S.A.K]

Neo FTW!

[Badpie]

I'm really hoping there isn't a decision like this in ME3, because when it came down to it - if it was between Ash and millions, thousands, even hundreds of people... Shepard is going to save the people. If he opted to save Ash in that situation she would never forgive him and he would never forgive himself. Would it kill him to lose her? Yes. He'd be a broken broken man, but he wouldn't be able to justify saving one life in place of so many.



Oh God, please don't do this, Bioware! It would be heavy handed and melodramatic if you ask me.

Deus Vult.

That is all.
