The FINAL POINT: You act like an a**hole. You get treated like an a**hole.
^^^^ This. Shepard as a Spectre is supposed to be representing the "best of humanity". I can't see how being an a**nugget is going to accomplish that.
There will be good and bad results to choices regardless.
1. Save the council? "Commander, we still have time to save the council." I'm sure that was heard by the "coordinated fleet" vessels. 10,000 Asari on board. Three council members one of which is a the a&&hole. So you let 10,000 die to get rid of one? Bad idea.
2. Spare the queen. I don't think she has any more likelihood of getting reindoctrinated than any other organic. Plus more allies. Still could bite you.
3. Rewrite the heretics. You just ****ed the Quarians on their war against the Geth. Tali think Xen is insane. But if Xen succeeds in rewriting the Geth again you've made the Quarians the most powerful race in the Galaxy. If they fail, you still have the Geth so long as you stay out of it, but lose Tali in the process.
4. I still like throwing the merc out the window. It's the Arnold moment of the game. But it also is such a thin window. Dantius skimped on costs.
5. Conrad either dies, or if you paragoned him starts doing some good work.
6. Jacob didn't repair the Cain like I asked. The only place it fired was on the collector ship. I use it to blow up that praetorian and everything else in that room. It failed at Tuchanka, and on the CB. Jacob gets keelhauled. Alas there is no choice for that.
7. What will Rana Thanoptis be up to this time?
