I set it free because Bioware games always reward the good side players more than the bad side. Don't argue with me on this, I've played just about every game of Biowares since Baldurs Gate and that has been a consistent trend throughout Biowares history.

It'd be a sad day when they would start rewarding acts of anti-social behauvior. So I kinda see where they are comming from.

I let her go.

I like bugs.

My paragon Shepard let her go, he is trying to save the galaxy, wiping out an entire species because they "might" be dangerous does not exactly fit with saving an entire galaxy, hell yeah that might come back and bite you on the arse, it's a risk, but is that not what sets us apart from the animals, you have to make a judgment call based on what the queen tells you and the unclear stories about the rachni wars, at this point you don't know which is the truth, personally I just think it's wrong to condemn an entire species, especially on hearsay.

[WhiteKnyght]

The Asari on Illium suggests that the Reapers were responsible for the rachni's hostilities during the Rachni Wars. So it's probable that whatever they did to them could still be done again.

Not to mention, as I said, the Game Informer article mentions enemy rachni, and there's only one place in the galaxy now where rachni could come from.

[Haasth]

I let her go, I found the Rachni quite interesting and wasn't quite planning to commit genocide right there. In addition, she seemed - as far as you can tell with an alien, insectoid, hive-mind species - quite genuine in her claims.
Even if they turn hostile, I'd still rather study them. But then.. not like Cerberus.

Can't say I regret the choice, in ME2 she does seem to do the 'right' thing as far as that goes. Little creeped out by the message from the Asari, but I just made sure that if the Queen would misbehave I'd track her down still.

No she got an acid bath in all playthroughs. Tentacled horrors conversing with the aid of flesh puppets tend to elicit that response from me.

[S Seraff]

On my canon playthrough I couldnt justify keeping her alive - i couldnt defend trusting her and didnt want to risk destabilizing the galaxy further. I still hate that I did that

You did the right thing. The rachni had their chance.

[GnusmasTHX]

Yes. Future romance option, obviously.

[Candidate 88766]

My main Shepard is willing to let everyone have a second chance, so he let the Rachni Queen live. If I have to confront her again in ME3 it'll be the end of the line for her.

Might as well start killing all races if their continued existence is dependent on whether they can be indoctrinated...

[AlexXIV]

I let her go. Because killing her felt wrong in many ways.

[eye basher]

Simple because that's not what the coucil wanted and i wanted to see there faces when i told them the Rachni were still alive.

Sorry guys, the Reapers have to die no mater what the cost. If I have to cure the genophage, I will do it. Free the Rachni as potential allies, yes. Brainwash the Geth to serve us in the fight, absolutely. Hell, I will make a clone army of Shepards if I need to.

The galaxy can sort **** out when there is no longer an armada of planet glazing ships moving up and about. Until the Reapers are extinct, we have no future to consider possible wars and consquences.

That's a poor excuse, or extreme metagaming. At the time of Noveria in the story, Reapers were a total myth. Shepard had NO way of knowing that Sovereign was a Reaper or that hundreds or thousands of them would invade the galaxy in the forseeable future.  
  When he/she encountered the Rachni, Shepard probably wasn't thinking "Sweet, if I ever have to assemble a galactic army against a fleet of giant living spaceships, these guys would really come in handy!" No, he/she would most likely be thinking "Oh crap, the last of a species who, in years past, caused mass turmoil across the galaxy!...and it's a queen with breeding capability!"

You are tasked to protect the galaxy, though. I would think that's more important than feeling good.

You are tasked to protect "life" in the galaxy, I'd hardly call genocide protecting life, I don't save the queen because I want to feel good, I save the queen because they are a sentient living species, if I was to take the view some take on destroying the queen, then I'd have to view our own race in the same way, we are an aggresive species, you only have to look at our history to see that.

WRONG. Play kotor again(if you did).Kotor you get MUCH more items/credits.
Kotor you extort people for better rewards/credits as darkside.
Kotor you are often paying people if lightside, to either not resort to viloence or in defense of another.

First planet alone. 2 Situations to pay off people instead of harming them and situations where you could get better rewards with darkside. 2 bounties you can not collect as a light side without spending money by aiding them. Less money made on the rakghoul vaccine, etc etc.

I like how in all your posts you are "always right":happy:
Here is a google link https://www.google.c...iw=1280&bih=519
In case you want to call me a liar of the many posts that say dark side is easier more rewarding.

Dragon age rewards being evil MORE as well. You just run the risk or pissing off a companion at the wrong situation which can be dire.

I still don't understand why I couldn't put her on the Normandy. Every time we got hit by more geth, "Queen, pump out some more babies please!"

[Darth Asriel]

I saved her because I'm not in the habit committing genocide. Yes, my morals/soul meanfar to much to me. And even from a logic standpoint keeping her made sense. We have nonevidence that Rachni are more susceptible to indoctrination than any other species. They have proven themselves as formidable warriors and ground troops, rivaling Krogan. Plus as Mordin says the universe demands diversity.

My main saved the queen, why?

1. Genocide is not nice

2. This Queen has done nothing but get experimented on, nothing to deserve death.

3. Even if I let her free, she's still stuck on a planet sized frozen rock.

4. I can contact the council and let them make the decision while the Rachni is still stuck on the aforementioned frozen rock.

5. Hard to imagine a single queen causing that much damage anyway.

3. She gets off noveria. Its mentioned in ME2 when talking to the messenger.
5. She reproduces like crazy. Remember station"? 17 I think" in noveria. They were all produced by the queen in a short span.

I know, but at the time Shepard is making the decision he does not.

I 
I was under the impression that was a period of years.  At any Rae whatever drones she could come up withwouldn't do her much good if she was ground bound and the Citadel fleet decided to do away with her.

Maybe your Shepard had no way of knowing, but MY Shepard was a clever dude. He already formed his theory of dem Repears whiping out the protheans, chatted it up with Sovereign on Virmire, and was even able to confirm Sovereign was indeed a reaper.  All before heading off to Noveria to chat it up with queeny. Rather than thinking "They'd be handy in a fight against the reapers" or "These people caused 'mass turemoil'." My shepard was thinking "The debt of an entire species and becoming a legend among their people, that could be handy;)" It just so happened that they would becoming useful in the upcomming fight and seeing that an asari has already survived an encounter with the reformed Rachni where she should had died, I'd say my decision is paying off really well.

Wait, doesn't Noveria come before Virmire? >_>

There is no set order, Virmire appears after 2 of the main plot planets(Feros, Noveria, and Therum) have been cleared.

[Mr. C]

Ahh I see. I've always completed all three main quests before Virmire.
