I tend to let the queen go for better screenshot opportunities in ME 3 when I actually do decide to kill her off n keep Arlack Company as a war asset.

QFT.

I totally let her die in ME3, yeah. Here I'd agonized about the decision back in ME1 and then I was all like, "Dude. You got yourself huskified? <sigh> Sucks to be you."

As they say, "Get captured by forces bent on using you for destructive purposes once, shame on you; get captured by forces bent on using you for destructive purposes twice... eh, screw it. I'm saving my old friend Grunt instead."

So you're punishing the queen for going into seclusion and then the reapers finding her secluded space and imprisoning her while they indoctrinated her children? Yikes, that's incredibly harsh.{smilie}

Perhaps it's harsh. It's more a matter of not taking the time to save a single civilian (and her children, sure, but mostly 1 civilian) at the expense of an entire military squadron (of battle-hardened krogan, no less) when in the middle of a war. i find the soldiers more valuable than the queen.

As a general RPG rule, I usually pick choices that lets as many characters live as possible, because that usually leads to more storyline/quests in the future. In the ME universe, my paragon Shepards don't want to kill off an entire species and my renegade Shepards want swarms of Rachni on their side.

I know Ellen was a little shocked and quite pissed that he'd dare slug his superior officer.... so she proceeded to beat the sh*t outta him.

Been busy for a couple of days and haven't really had a chance to sit down and relax at the BSN. So, of course, I choose femShep as the place where I can catch my breath.

@Meonlyred, Faye rocks that beret. I may have to try that look on someone. Also, "The Happy Accidents of the Suspended Oscillation Device" artwork was a GREAT find.


@Tup3xi, love the heavy melee shots. Well, I love them all actually. Menae is a great place to get flycam shots. Such a great backgound. And the 8-bit Shep was an awesome find.

@Elorin Silverblade, I rarely use EDI on my squads. How do you like her? How do you use her? I keep thinking I should branch out but then I always end up with a combination of heavy/hitters like James, Kaidan/Ashley or Garrus.

@LadyAly, You have a knack for getting good shots. Chiara is so very badass. I didn't expect her to choose any ending except destroy. What a wonderful Shep you've created.

@xbb1024, very nice photo manipulation! I wish my skills were so good. Nastya seemed to enjoy her visit to Purgatory too!

@raziel1980, Gabby is looking scary in her scars. I wouldn't mess with her. And yes, we need to get together to MP soon!

@Sinapus, the only one who doesn't seem to leer at Shep's "funny bumps" is Wrex. I was going through shots from Asche's ME game the other day and he was definately trying to look elsewhere.

Vega's like the ME3 version of Grunt. He's Sheps baby. Sometimes you gotta give the kid some tough love. Honestly, as much as James has grown on me as a character, I wish Shep could have had a Krogan on her squad.

Do other people feel the same way about that decision? I always end up
feeling like at the moment, it seems completely evil to kill her, but
when I leave, I instantly regret not doing it. Hrm... maybe that's just
me.

There should have been an option to let the council decide. It would have established the Council as a force in the galaxy instead of them all looking like the ineffectual bereaucrats they were. All of my Sheps who have made it through ME1 let the Rachni queen go. None of them felt qualified to decide the fate of a species. It wasn't part of the mission parameters. Asche and Lida let the queen go in ME and ME3. Jenny didn't let the queen get away with it a second time. She couldn't be certain the queen wasn't indoctrinated. Paranoia determined the fate of the Rachni.

UJ lets the Queen go in ME1, but it's not an easy decision. Ultimately it comes down to the possibility for needing allies. The Queen's well being, while important, is secondary. The same goes for the Geth. Rewriting the Geth was the hardest decision she ever made outside of Virmire. Though she considered it unethical to rewrite them, the need for possible allies was greater. She even tells Legion she does not regret the choice, which surprises him. Though typically a Paragon, UJ doesn't always play it safe, though the "holier than thou" chip on her shoulder doesn't help.

In ME3, UJ lets the Queen go w/out hesitation. She needs allies and she has to take the risk.


"Risk is our business."

That's pretty much how i view it. The prospect of more allies makes the risk worth taking - though I personally agree with sage: get in trouble once, i can understand; twice, you can't be trusted - regardless of how i feel about the Queen. It's just that in ME3 the greater good (more allies) erases all other concerns for my Shepard. 

@Tup: that's the one thing i didn't like about James. That duality. I thought going mano a mano against Shepard came as a desire to treat her like an "equal"; that i found refreshing - as much as ranks allow. Then he keeps bringing up the fact that Shepard is a "she". Then flirts and does nothing...

@Ashoken: i miss having Grunt as a teammate. 
                      The council is there to lesgislate on important matters. Except when it's really important - blowing up relays, wiping out colonist settlements or entire races, rewriting Synthetics - that falls on Shepard.

Nice! 

@Ashoken: Thanks... I'll be around all weekend doing the operation...so catch me on Origin then and we can play! 

@LadyAly: So, Chiara chose destroy...cool, hope to see her again once Leviathan releases! 

on the subject of Vega : All of my Shepards beat the ****** outa him at the beginning of the game...then flirted with him throughout afterwards. It is going to ESPECIALLY enjoyable for Gabby in her redux...since Vega was originally supposed to be her LI.

@Ashoken EDI seemed to work just fine. I'm doing something different this play through, previous ME games I just stuck with a set squad and didn't change, this time I'm actively rotating crew members in and out.

He's hung around humans for some time, probably figured out it might irritate her and then she'd hurt him.
 

[KiraVeranoShepard]

This here's my Femshep. Like many of you, I've had her since ME 1 all the way to the end. I haven't decided which I prefer, Synthesis or Destroy. So, whatever her fate, may she be at peace, living or dead.

Wow, did Liara suddenly hit the Matriarch stage in that pic? 

[KiraVeranoShepard]

Wow. Yeah, to be fair the artist never played ME. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it for what it was.

[Ashoken]

Hate to see you go. Love to see you walk (run!) away.

[LadyAly]

@xbb1024 I like the scene there. If you play this out short after thanes death it works very fine to the story - atleast for me. And I really love to see that small - very small - twitch of a smile on Aria's face.

@Tup3xi That smirk on James face - I suppose he did enjoy   James is still somesort of a fleshy tank for me sometimes. I like to have him in squad. But I doubt Kayleigh will like him much - her indifferent feelings toward mens are pretty huge.
@Ashoken Thanks :happy: Honestly I wasn't sure how it will turn out with Chiara.
Have I mentioned I love Jenny ? She is amazing
@sagequeen  OMG - this is gorgeous<3
@raziel1980 Gabby's lipstick has nearly the same red as her eyes and scars.

Yes - exactly what I do with Kayleigh atm. And I must say I'm surprised about the different fights and some very nice and new squad talks :happy: 

@KiraVeranoShepard Nice Shep and nice art - tell us more about Kira  and welcome

Kayleigh time

Arrival at  Virmire - time to chose and I bet you all know who gets KIA this time


lets see if  I can force some sense in this Krogan head


The Asari Rana Thanopis didn't get out alive - Kaidan didn't approve - Kayleigh didn't bother

Serious matter. Pretty sure it doesn’t count if you agree to a boxing match.

…

James is a good character. Well, in my headcanon/story anyway. He’s not like Grunt, though, nor is he interested in Shepard…

[Tup3x]

@Ashoken
Thanks!

@SaturnRing
Yeah, I kinda think the same way about James.

@raziel1980
Love dat smirk.

Rachni Queen and ME1 stuff reminds me that I should continue my ME1 run... Lets see how much time I have today. I'm going to do a clean windows 8 Pro install today since it came available a bit earlier than I thought (gotta love Dreamspark Premium).

[laikabaws]

Finally gets the courage to post my canon Shep here~  (Bear with my sucky graphics and my ancient laptop)

ME1: during fluffier days (lol at that quirking eyebrow)


ME2: some things never change...





ME3: doesn't seem to notice creepy Ashley behind 


:innocent:


Will post the rest of my Sheps next time (runs)~

^aaah! ghost ashley, haunting kaidan on the citadel! wow. that's really freaky, actually.

lovely shep!

@sagequeen Thanks again~ :'D (I'm just that much of an embarrassing Kaidan fan with too much love for the franchise). It's my way of giving back to the Kaidan fans because I'm such a lurker most of the time.

Kayleigh is playing it fast and loose. She isn't messing around. I like that. Though i know her past plays a role in it, is she renegade/renegon by necessity or is this just the way she gets things done? Does she struggle with what happened to her (while growing up), or did she make peace with it?
For my Deirdre it is by necessity most of the time; she does get pissed off sometimes and let loose here and there.
Awesome conclusion to Chiara run...will miss her

@KiraVeranoShepard: Your Shep is really cool. The art is awesome.

@laikabaws: both of your sheps are beautiful. Looking forward to hearing more about them.

Cloe, if not sneering, looks perpetually amused at everything :'D


Not much of a renegade yet 


And ME1: She looks so young here (like puberty haha) :innocent:

@laikabaws Your both Sheps are very cute and pretty. Has your Main a Name ?  Love this Pic of her and would like to know more about her. :happy:
Also thx for the links to the Kaidan ressources - was a interesting read

Yes and No. She learned it the hard way from her father - and later from her mother - to be *functional*. Learned that the only way to earn respect is to get through the things - with all consequences. 
That made her the Butcher of Torfan. She is enjoying to hurt men - physically and psychical. Kaidan earned somesort of respect - but Ash got the place. Even her rather pretty  cute face is a weapon if necessary.
If a Man even dares to resist her or to boss her around - he is nearly dead.
She never would admitt that deep in her the hunger for love is very strong. To be loved as a person - as herself.

I would call her a psychotic killer - but with the N7 Program she learned to control her hate.

Meeting Liara was something like a divine revelation - she felt for her at the first gaze. And Liara has seen much more then only the Prothean nightmare - like the Consort does. Its like the first attempt to stop a bleeding wound in her soul.

Bah now I babbled .... I love to play her  - sorry  

Saren fight and winning grin - knowing Ash and the Leautnant are saved
