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.

lol
i guess we'll see. "Indoctrinated" is a powerful excuse if it turns out to be true

[JosephCAW]

first time I played Mass Effect I did everything quickly and didnt give much thought to it so I killed the Rachni Queen.

Second time after I knew where everything was and such I actually listened to what was being said, after the Queen basically begged for her life I couldn't kill her, game character or not....thats what I love about the Mass Effect series

[darthnick427]

I let her go because it seemed like the right thing to do in my first playthrough. Since then I let her go every time for a possible ally against the reapers

[DiebytheSword]

I let her go most of the time because I bank on using her to defeat the reapers later on. On the initial playthrough, I let her go because I didn't feel it was right to commit genocide.

Should she become a problem, I will deal with her in ME3.

[Asch Lavigne]

I let her live because I thought it would be more interesting in the long run.

[lobi]

They live. What if it was the last Krogan, Asari or even Human in that pod?

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.

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.

A darksider surrounded by good people who with the exception of 2 characters are incorruptable.

Yes. 2 of the whole crew. And you think that's equal. Baldurs Gate 2 had a similar ratio of good vs evil recruits. And Jade Empire. And Dragon Age.

I toasted her in most playthroughs. She and her kind are bugs, deadly ones. Not on the level of humanoids. She got a good acid cleansing.

[Han Shot First]

There are strong hints in her dialogue with Shepard that the Rachni Wars were caused by Reaper indoctrination.  The Citadel species were unable to communicate with the Rachni only because they had been indoctrinated before first contact. As such, the Rachni should be viewed as victims rather than villains.

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.

So by that logic we should kill off everyone since everyone has the potential to be indoctrinated. You don't see a problem with this 'logic'?

Hell yeah I let her go, worst case scenario, she gets indoctrinated and I get another level of killing things.

Individualized guilt is at the heart of modern legal systems. This queen had committed no crimes. It doesn't matter what her ancestors did. Corruption of blood is an antiquated concept and does not justify genocide.

Well said.

Since Reaper indoctrination is at work, I'm not sure you could even accuse her ancestors of having committed crimes. They no longer had free will.

[MakeMineMako]

I released her. It was the right thing to do.

Not an interesting race, it was a blight once, could conquer and ruin the galaxy ... their singing make no sense.

Death to Rachni ... Long Live the Krogan

Live.

No need to condemn an entire species for what their (Indoctrinated) ancestors did.

[double02]

Both. First and primary file; I let her go, couldn't live with the possibility of dooming an entire species. Oh, and yes, I saw her as potential aid against the Reapers.

I let her live because it was pretty clear that her ancestors had been indoctrinated, and I figured she'd be agreeable to oblige when I came calling for bullet sponges.

[Kaiser Arian XVII]

Indoctrinated by who? Reapers are active just recently.

Possibly Sovereign; maybe the derelict Reaper. The Rachni Queen spoke of a "sour yellow note', "a tone from space [that] hushed one voice after another". That sounded suspiciously like indoctrination to me.

The Reapers have been directing the Collectors since the last time they reaped the galaxy, so they're always active on some level. Maybe starting the Rachni Wars was a strategic move.

I guess I had a feeling the only thing killing her would accomplish was less dialogue in ME3.
Unfortunately that seemed to be the case to me for a lot of renegade decisions.

[SirEtchwart]

I kept her alive. She was perfectly aware that her race had made mistakes in the past, and wanted to atone for them. Worst-case scenario, the Rachni end up indoctrinated, but as previously mentioned, that's a pretty good argument for nuking every sentient species.

Not entirely true.

The Collectors (And by extension, Harbinger) have been active for an indeterminate amount of time (Presumably a while). We know Sovereign has been active a while as well. There's nothing to say other Reapers (Or derelicts, or even Harbinger) weren't out making the rachni the OG Collectors.

Even Reaper artifacts are capable of Indoctrination, you see this in the Mass Effect: Revelation and Mass Effect: Evolution.  Apparently once Indoctrinated this way they don't even need to be controled directly by the Reapers.  It's hard to tell what exactly is directing them.

[William Shakespeare]

no, i wanted to commit some form of genocide

[Dragoonlordz]

She lived in mine all times. Because I feel the same as my Shepard express at the time of doing so. I felt had no right to dam/condemn an entire species for the actions of their ancestors. If my choice turns out to be negative and they repeat past mistakes then they will have to be stopped again but that's risk need to take based on my principles of not wiping out a species for actions the current generation never took part in.
