 Basiclly just state which Good and Bad decisions,your shepard made; and how it effected you the player the most.

Good: In Mass Effect 2. Telling  the krogan in the citadel there were no fish, his face and voice showed all the depression and yet I was still awarded paragon points. DAMN YOU BIOWARE!!

Bad: In Mass Effect. Putting a gun in Conrad Verner's face, he was such a true fan, and I treat him like the muck on the side of my big-ass space boots.

My opinions don't matter much but i'd like to see what you think were the hardest decisions your shepard ever made.

The decision right before Shepard pushed the button that ended 305k batarian lives. Wasn't his choice, but Shepard hated himself for it anyway.

Good decision (technically not only and not clearly good, but the character who faced this problem is paragon and the ending involved paragon persuasion): Tali's LM. Alyson Shepard thinks that's fair for that quarians who lost relatives on Alarei to find out the truth, and that flotilla should know about such mistakes to not let it happen in future... but at the same time she can't let her only (at that moment) tech expert to become distracted from mission because if they'll lose, many more lifes will be taken by Collectors. As well as not all of admirals would take it as brutal warning about what chasing dreams may do to what you have now, some will want to continue weapons test to be ready to fight geth. So paragon persuasion, loyal Tali, but Shepard feels like sh*t.

Bad decision (warning: not renegade decision, but indeed "bad"): tie between two: let salarian on Thane's recruitment die (while he pleads you to save other workers. Not asks Shepard to help, not curses humans, but only thinks about others) and let Kal'Reegar die (that was one brave quarian). In a sense, both that people were better than John Shepard who did that.

The Rachini.

I don't want to commit Genocide and at the same time I don't trust the queen.

Darn you Bioware, why couldn't there be a choice for the Council to just decide?

Only real hard choice to me is Zaeed LM, and really for non-issues. I just think it looks weak of Shepard to go along with what Zaeed did and send the wrong message to the squad. Clearly I'm overthinking it though, the game isn't that complex. Still, I want to handle the decision as I would.

I like Zaeed, but I don't tolerate crap from my subordinates. Bad enough he set the place on fire, worse that he continued to be difficult about it. At the end of the day, however, you're only there for him and securing his loyalty for the mission. So I end up letting the workers die. But I was still tempted to save the workers to spite him.


The Collector Base would be a hard choice if Cerberus weren't made into the butt of all jokes and actually a legitimate, successful organization. As is, you can count on them to screw it up even if their intentions are pure. It was once a hard choice for me, now it's not much of one.

I also rewrote the heretics but now I regret it, didn't consider the post-virus issues. Whatever though, not going back now, just have to see what'll happen. And I can see what happens in three different careers (Rewrite, Destroy, Sell Legion).

When that krogan goes "wwwhaat..?" after telling him there's no fish it makes me sad =[

Personally, it is actually who the human councillor should be.

Good: Orchestrating a heightened sense of dramatic tension by ensuring that a couple of squadmates perish almost every time I do the Suicide Mission in ME2.

The heretic issue was easy for me the first time. I just blew them up. The second time Renegade Shep gave an interesting perspective and I thought about it. Decided to rewrite them.

Letting Balak go. Hated watching that bastard walk off and have more opportunities to commit further atrocities, but glad that Kate Bowen and the survivors did not have to die for their efforts. Arrival. Damn you Kenson! There's a bad aftertaste of irony there.

And it actually kind of made me so Angry.

not really a good or bad decision, but one where i did a royal screw up.

Sent Jacob through the vents during the SM (He ended up dying).
My reasons were: in the 1st place he volunteered. And it was said to be a suicide mission with the vents in particular being mentioned as especially dangerous.
This was my 1st play through and I didn't realize that going through the vents would lead to the outside, I thought w/e control panel that opens the doors were located inside the vents and whoever hacked them would end up dying inside.
I could have sent Tali but I didn't. If the vents ended up being a true suicide mission with 0 survival odds that would mean Tali would die. Apart from being Shepard's LI she was one of the stronger voices in the fleet and her say would have a strong impact on the whole geth/quarian issue. Same goes for Legion. So i kept both Legion and Tali in my squad till we rescued the prisoners at which point I sent Legion back to the ship with the crew. Effectively making sure that whatever happens to the rest of us Legion would survive.

Reason I pick Jacob was cause he volunteered and I wasn't about to nominate someone to go die. Or in other words Shepard had to make a tough choice, he failed - and someone ended up dying.
Going to be an interesting time this march

Killing the Feros colonists and letting the workers burn on Zorya were probably the hardest things he's done.

The Rachni Queen decision is the most morally conflicting IMO.

About Conrad, he said that to my canon femShep and she never shoved a gun in his face.  That was a bug that never got fixed. 

Good: Walking away from al-Jilani with my canon femShep in ME instead of doing what I (personally) wanted to do which was punch her in the face.

Bad: Picking Morinth instead of Samara.  I only did it once and that Shepard is now KIA.

Killing the Rachni Queen, leaving the Zorya refinery workers to die, leaving David with Dr. Archer, preserving the partial genophage data and.....thats about it. Pretty much everything else is either relatively unimportant or no-brainers.

- Rachni Queen could turn out to have been a valuable ally, but given the history and nature of her species I deemed her too much of a risk. Still close to on the fence though.

- WIll killing Vido really help Zaeed enough to make a difference on the SM? And will the damage to the Blue Suns resulting from Vidos death (along with Zaeeds loyalty) be worth the refinery workers lives? Vido successfully led his ruthless group of mercenaries for two decades already, and they're only getting stronger. Killing him will undoubtedly weaken the entire organization, at least for a little while. Even if the Blue Sun will continue without him, effective leadership isn't easy to come by.

- David is an unwilling innocent victim, and for the Overlord project to work Cerberus would have to find a way to control the human-VI hybrid. Its a horrible thing to subject David to such treatment over something which may not even work, but the project has enough promise that it is worth it. The hybrid successfully controlled every single active Geth in the area, if that could be replicated on a much larger scale the Geth would not only cease to be a threat but become an asset.

- I'd like to have a partial genophage cure created, one that perhaps doubles (so 1/500) the chances at successful reproduction. A full cure would be too much, and if that is the only cure Bioware offers in ME3 then I'll definitely regret keeping the data.

Picking between Udina and Anderson after I killed off the council, wanted to pick Udina first.. but then I remembered he backstabbed me before so Anderson it was.

Picking at the end of Overlord, that was hard..
