Correction why would you let him leave for the sake of the hostages?

I don't know. It's just about the only Paragon choice that I can't see any even halfway-decent argument for. Dude is just way too dangerous.  I've only ever saved the hostages once to see what it was like, and didn't save after.

I see a reason: Shepard is better than the rest.
And if you think about it, trying to save everyone while endangering lives could be considered a Renegade choice.
Like somebody pointed out before: there is pretty much grey there.

doubt he's in Batarian space,he's probably near human colony
i always say sacrifice few for many
this kind remind me of fable 2 &3

Though I wonder, why can't you bind him in his place (Singularity, shooting his limbs off) and then go save the hostages? Why not both? Meh.

Will we ever catch Balak and the rest of his batarian comrades in ME3, or should I have just killed him?

You should have killed him. Even my canon Shepard who is mostly paragon knew that he was too dangerous to let go.

The hard choices are the best part of ME imo.

"Why hasn't Balak tried to blow up another planet yet?"

Well, after BtsD, Balak most likely went on the run, partly from the Alliance for having tried to wipe out one of their colonies and partly from the Batarian Hegemony who very likely commissioned him to carry out the attack in the first place. The Hegemony doesn't strike me as fellows who let losers walk away with their life, especially not when they botch perfect opportunities to harm the Alliance's holdings. Where else would he go?

Or they were: Oh f*ck that, we're not going to war against Alliance AND Council races. Let's try to catch him like we had nothing to do with it kill him so that Alliance don't accidentally find out our secret.

And that's if they had to do with that attack.

I never got impression for Batarian Hegemony to be ruled by bunch of evil douchebags.
Just by bunch of douchebags who practice slavery.

Will we see him in ME3? Yes, I am certain of it. Once the Hegemony goes to hell, he will probably step out of the shadows and gather batarian survivors fleeing Hegemony space, forming a large raiding band that preys on escaped transport vessels and colonies left vulnerable by the Reaper's onslaught. Unlike his team of ragged survivors, he won't be out for simple survival or for easy riches, but complete and utter revenge against Shepard for humiliating him on X-57, and for the destruction of the Bahak System.

That only if he's stup... Actually, I'm OK with it.

Maybe it's a play on Bahak?

I like to think that Balak and Shepazaurus will meet again, with Shepz getting the choice to gloat.

'1 - 0 Balak, or should I say 300,000 - 0'

@Saphra: It's really irrelevant whether the hegemony warmed up to him or not after Arrival since their territory is effectively f***ed by the events in said DLC. As of post-Arrival, batarian home systems and inner colonies are living on borrowed time.

An indoctrinated Hegemony will be even friendlier with him.

So then should I stick with my planned regicide or should I just go all out with genocide?

They will? is he a Reaper agent and we didn't know it?

[BlueMagitek]

I can see BDtS being referenced if there's a trial / hearing scene with Hackett / Alliance Command coming to your favor if you captured Balak (getting information on whatever the Batarians are up to, if I remember correctly he implies that he's just an agent and there are more coming).

Eh, most zealots say that... then again it's almost always true and there are more.. and boss fights...

Did he send you email how he wishes to live in isolation studying human ballet?

[HTTP 404]

I wish we could confront balak...at the very least we should have extensive side missions about the batarian terrorists...now that there is no hegemony, Im sure they will be more suicidal.

If by "indoctrinated" you mean, "series of obliterated planets and civilian populaces rounded up and turned into mindless husks because they are an insignificant species unworthy of attention", then the answer is yesno way in hell.

The hegemony may only be in mid-stage indoctrination and serving as higher end cannon fodder for the short- to mid-term. Assuming the Batarians enslave other Batarians, then the Reapers might have shown up and started off with "You guys hate humans and the Council? OMG so do we, btw we have a way to make those slaves real obedient." And the Hegemony would be all like "Yay! New besties!" all the while getting more indoctrinated.
