Wait, what? That's wholly subjective.


oh, you could probably defend his actions if you like him enough or if you or your Hawke agree with him, but at the end of the day - he's still a terrorist and he still killed a lot of innoscent people.  and  your options are to kill him or to allow him to live and probably blow up a few more chantries.  they gave a good reason for killing him, it wasn't a bullcrap choice like virmire.

I think the fact that half your companions supported sparing him shows they weren't trying to make you kill him.

I didn't say they MADE you kill him.  they just made it sound like a sound decision so that if you do kill him you are not acting like idiot. 
spoiler bellow - highlight to read at your own risk.
if virmire 2.0 will make it into the live game, where you have to chose between Liara and VS, the way they set it up, only the most hardcore VS fans or people who dislike Liara that much/more then VS will be able to kill her.  they slanted it so much in her favor they might as well call it "kill VS" choice.  and it seems to be the ONLY time she could actualy die.

Perhaps it won't involve Liara specifically. If it could be anyone who happens to be there... though I wouldn't really mind if it was Liara.

Only in Kaidan's case, and then again it's arguable. But I don't feel Anders was assassinated either.

The choice on virmire was not who to kill but who to save. Big differance.

No, it was the other way around. She was going to be the one gunning down the police.

What I mean is she will attack first and kill alot of Police officers, but over time she will be overwhelemed and killed. She had an extremely low chance of getting away with her life.Shepard saved her from a road to death.

with Anders,whether you like him or not or whether you agreed with him or not:you were hanging out with him for six years,barely anybody died when he blew up the chantry (definitely less people than Hawke just randomly killed without asking questions. And innocent is debatable. And saying he would blow up more Chantries is ridiculous) and your companions are for sparring him. I can understand if it' the right choice for YOU but they didn't set it up that way... I really don't think that's anywhere the same as the Virmire choice where the whole set up is already completely different and death isn't optional.

You're forgetting Samara, for one. You aren't saving her from anything. Just helping her out.

As for Jack, I wouldn't say she is a damsel in distress. She's just in jail. It's not like she's in some kind of life threatening situation. She's not in need of any rescue.

And the only time Ashley needs to be saved in on Virmire. With the geth, if you didn't notice, she killed the ones chasing her and then got into a good cover position to take on the other two. She can't kill two geth without Shepard coming to save her? Please. 
Besides, with Ash's character and toughness, I'd hardly classify her as a damsel in distress. She even says she doesn't need a knight to come to her rescue (or w/e her line was).

Really the only damsel's were tali and liara.

I was kinda saying that.  that Virmire is not like Anders choice.  Anders choice can be justified in either direction (and yes, plenty of people died inside the chantry, you are deluding yourself if you think otherwise, unless like Xilli you think that no chantry follower is innoscent?, or if you think that he won't continue with his revolution, especialy on friendship path) and its actualy a genuine choice.  Virmire is bullcrap, as someone has to die either way, right there and then.  and possibility of virmire 2.0 is a spoiler.

I was kinda saying that Liara isn't Anders, btw.

If you're a male Shepard, she also needs to be saved from the beacon.

Really the only damsel's were tali and liara.

Strictly temporary.

actualy - in ME1, it was just Liara.  Tali was holding her own.  when the fight starts, she throws a grenade and ducks into cover to continue fightning.

ME2 is... debatable.

  he's fighting back, so IMO it doesn't count.  its why I don't concider Tali or Ashley a damsel in distress either, at least in ME1.

Yes.....It not a bad thing to be one. It's just bad if it happenes over and over again. Thankfully, Liara is not that ether. The Princess Peach of the series is Kehleen Sanders.

That's what I was trying to get at; none of your companions are helpless, they're all strong combatants who've killed a lot of people (by the end, anyway). Just because they get themselves into these hopeless situations that they need to be saved from doesn't diminish that; it just means they got unlucky.
