I know right? He's a billionaire who's stuck hiding in the shadows on a constantly moving space station and on the run from the authorities (Both human and alien) when he could be chilling in a mansion in Bekenstein sipping on expensive liquor and banging a different high class woman each night but he's TOTALLY in it for himself.
That wouldn't be a challenge. And being evil doesn't mean you have to be shallow.
TIM fits this definition, and so does Shepard - male or female one. But not many other peole in the game do. So here's in honor of TIM and Shepard.
I find these distinctions worthless regardless. I feel that everyone has an equal claim to personhood, and that killing is only ever a regrettable necessity if one person becomes too dangerous to others. Gaining some sort of superiority complex due to perceived competence isn't on my agenda.
Pretty absurd that Shepard doesn't have to worry about antagonizing the Krogan for freeing the Rachni or the Quarians for empowering the Geth with the rewrite. It just shows that Paragon and Renegade just boils down to whether or not you want your Shepard to be Space Jesus or Space Troll.
You know what? You've hammered this point into my skull so many times that I half-want it to come true now, just so that I can tell the krogan to **** off if they whine about having to work with rachni. I still don't think they care, though, especially considering that... screw it, you won't listen regardless.
I also pray to Jubileus that we'll be able to ally with the best character in the franchise again.
Don't worry, Liara's already covered.
I wonder at people who can switch their loyalties at will and erase the past as if it never happened. Either you have no notion of empathy, or you simply don't have a heart. You must not even be organics - you're probably geth. Override the program, now loyal to another. Proceed with the mission objective.
I was never loyal to TIM in the first place, and I doubt he expected me to be. It was a mutually beneficial arrangement, nothing more.
There was never any kind of personal bond between Shepard and the Council, much less between Shepard and the Alliance in game.
Nor is there with Cerberus in ME2. TIM's simply manipulating Shepard, like he does everyone else. That's why Shepard isn't ever really friendly with TIM; Shepard can see it, but has to go along regardless.
Apparently everything I said about choices just went past you. Let me spell it out for you very slowly: I want to choose to save TIM. I want to choose to sacrifice Liara.
Probably you can. We know you can sacrifice the whole galaxy. Maybe they'll be simultaneous.
