i beleive they were indoctrinated by the reapers, so i let her live. if thats true the rachni were just acting as a device for the reapers. so i dont feel like i should punish the entire race to extinction for something that wasnt their fault.

im just not a fan of the idea. if im wrong, then bioware will just have to make ME4:rachni Wars.

5/6 Ice Cold J Shepards let her go.

Either I want to preserve life or have strong allies... only my xenophobic Shepard drowned her with acid.

Wrex told me to do it.

Yah... he gets RIP**** if you let her go.

Too bad, cause Wrex is one of the best squaddies to have on Noveria for his abilities and his incredibly memorable and humorous lines throughout the level.

Wrex was with me on my recent playthrough and he just says something along the lines of "Whatever, my people will just kill them all again when the time comes."

Yah. He says that after he urges you to kill her.

But there are SO MANY golden lines of his on Noveria.

(upon arrival) Shepard: "Easy everyone, we don't wanna start a fight."
Wrex: "Why not?"

Lorikk Qui'nn: "The sight of a well-dressed Asari sent the workers into quite a fit." (or something like that)
Wrex: "I can't understand how a clothed female is considered as attractive as a naked one!"

Agent Sterling: "You know what we did to cop-killers on MY world?"
Wrex: "You know what we do to crooked cops on MY world?"

Guard at Synthetic Insights: "You're bluffing."
Wrex: "You're right. (S)He's just gonna let me eat you."

Rachni queen is an innocent who was not alive at the time of the rachni wars, has spent her whole life in captivity and has no responsibility for her out-of control children -who were mad from scientist experiments.
There is little knowledge about the how and why of the Rachni wars (before humans found the citadel races) other than one major problem was that to have peace talks the diplomats had to speak directly with the queens - but the queens were well guarded deep underground on particularly dangerous worlds - so the only "diplomats" who could reach them were heavily armed Krogans with a policy of "shoot first and negotiate peace later".

First playthrough, I followed my natural morality and let the queen go free, second playthrough tried for the kill for variety but Liara pleaded and I found myself unable to select kill a second time..didn't try again

Didn't want to post a new topic for this, but has anybody seen the trailer/clip involving the rachni queen, it shows shephard and squaddies approach the queen and she is all black, i came across it while watching this and the clip is about 1 minute in, it's a mind blowing trailer and you should definetely watch it

Personally i had to kill her. Even on my paragon favoured playthroughs. I understand she did not commit acts her speices did but i could not risk the reapers  indoctrinate one rachni queen and turing the so called lucky promise that in me3 you will get an army of rachni to fight for you.

Your Shepard may want to consider a genocidal first strike on the Krogans before the Reapers get them too.

Can the reapers indoctrinate ALL Krogan by just getting to one of them?

No. She must live for the romance.

[VorteXLP]

I let her live. I loved the fact that the Asari on Illium came to tell you that the Rachni are building an army for you to fight the Reapers. F*** YEAH RACHNI!

[snfonseka]

I wonder, if I killed the Rachni Queen, does that mean no Rachni enemies in ME3?

I believe Rachnii queen portion refers to real world extinction of many Earth Species like Tigers Dodo etc. Earth is running out of tigers fast. It disbalances eco system. If I have the power to save one I will even if it comes to bite me back. I opposed Genophage and I saved the Rachii queen for the same reason.

Probably not. Even after u deal with the Rachnii on Noveria u can encounter them on Listening posts Alpha and Theta...they were being bred by Cerberus to be used as Shock Troops. No matter what u did in ME1, I am sure u will have to deal with hordes of Acid squirting Indoctrinated Rachnii soldiers.

[DaJe]

I let her go because, she is a potential ally and exterminating entire races is a biggest crime I can imagine, especially when the race is not evil by default. I also didn't kill Wrex when he posed a threat and look how that turned out.

Yes, the Reapers might use her against you, just like they can use everyone else. Since it happend before and we know it, we can turn things arround this time.

[Big I]

I let her go because;


1) Wiping out an intelligent species is a bad thing to do.


2) I want an insect army to help me fight the Reapers.

Maybe not all, but if you get the right one (Wrex/Wreav) you might be able to turn the most of them into a tool for the Reapers.
Is there ever any confirmation that the Krogans Saren has are indoctrinated or if they are going along because he has a Genophage cure?

I let her go every time, not 'cause I'm 'selfish' paragon but 'cause if we follow the logic that her species might be indoctrinated later, then all organics should be wiped out from the face of the galaxy - they also can be indoctrinated too... especially humans - tho that's the bottom line if u're caught in meta-gaming. I was lucky when I played ME1 for the first time as well as ME2, I didn't know anything about the game and story itself. My friend from UK sent me the copies and I only visited BSN to register the games. I did let her go then 'cause she was the victim and as she claimed, she was last of her kind... At that time there wasn't present 'oh she might become a Reaper tool' nor that endless BSN fear - that choice will cost you dearly. I released her 'cause I'm not a villain and some day I may be judged as well by those who don't know anything about me and my deeds... and strangely, that happened in Mass Effect2 and The Arrival. How's Shepard any different now from Rachni queen if u ask those who don't possess the knowledge on what really happened? Currently (looking at the end of The Arrival), Shepard is a war criminal, with unknown tech in her body, person that worked with organization marked as terrorists by Council races... she is danger in the eyes of majority that doesn't know what happened and how it happened... dangerous human responsible for the deaths of many and she might kill again if left loose or alive... same as Rachni queen. That's why I don't consider killing her even now, even as a renegon, otherwise, I should start huge genocidal wave, I should wipe krogans 'cause they might go on killing spree again, or humans, for that matter, 'cause they just might become indoctrinated and danger. Even Mordin on Maelon's mission learned that supposition is dangerous thing to practice, and as he says, there are just too many variables on what might happen. So if saving Rachni queen will make things harder, so be it.

[nobunagatron]

I released her. I refuse to commit genocide

[DJBare]

I see some are still thinking the Rachni can be used as allies to "fight"; I see it differently, the Rachni are a vulnerable species too weak in a head on fight, I'm certain they will fight if they have to, but I suspect they will serve better repairing and building ships, it's what they are good at, though there are the brood warriors I find it unlikely you would be able to use them as their primary role is to guard the nests.

Just my 2 cents.

[Jestina]

I was hoping she would become a potential romantic interest.

I let her go. Its a risk, but torture-killing the last known survivor of an race with acid and thus completing the genocide is going way too far.

[frylock23]

I never killed her. In game with my first playthrough, I always firgured that whatever happened in the past was very firmly in the past and there was no way for me to get the truth. Any actions I took based on the past were going to based in part on partial truths at best. So, I made my judgement based on what I knew. And, I knew that if I killed her, I was killing the very last of a race, committing genocide. And, not even my meanest Sheps were up to that.

And from a metagame perspective, the galaxy always needs its xenomorphs.

Interesting so they were controlled by the reapers.... You do realzie in me3 your at war whos to say they wont be taken controlled of again?  Also that part in me2 means little it could easily change in me3 this is war you dont take risks.

Putting aside the morality, you take a risk either way, they "could" be turned against you by the reapers, they "could" be potential allies against the reapers, putting aside morality, it's a judgment call.

[Alikain]

Its always a good idea to have someone our you a favour. beside she not responsible for the actions of her ancestors.
