Remember the one you saved on Noveria? The one that contacted you in Me2? Well it seems it doesn't even matter because even if you killed her on Noveria a different one shows up in Me3 that does the same thing. The only difference it makes is Shepard says "I saved you on Noveria".

Yea, that choice from the original game was such a non-factor. I really thought the rachni were going to help with the war in a bigger way. It's one of the few pre-ending things this game did wrong in my opinion.

Yeah, I was a bit disappointed with that. I'm starting to feel like "I am Shepard, destroyer of races! All shall see me and despair!"
But I've only been forced into two acts of genocide so far ...

It's simple. Your choices are a lie. You have none for the final game due to boost the "story".

I am wondering why they did that. If they Rachni DID die off, what difference would it have made? We never even saw any Rachni ships during the battle, and they are mentioned once by Hackett and once in the War Assets list. It just seems pointless to take away a choice and not give anything meaningful in return.

Yea and then they end up in a cave turned into half reaper spider things. And of course if you killed all the Rachni on Noveria they're still in the cave because a wizard did it. Some talented writing there. Infact, it seems like that damn wizard does alot of things in mass effect 3. Thank God for the wizard.

I'm guessing the army saw the Reapers coming and were like "forget this." and just left the galaxy.
It annoys me because I killed the queen in ME1, with the character I'm playing now. All it really would've taken was for Wrex/Wreav to not give you the mission if you killed her.

If you kill the queen in ME1, then the artificial queen in ME3 won't be loyal to you if you choose to release her. After like 2 or more missions, you'll see that the Rachni Workers are gone from your War Asset, and the Alliance Engineering Corps War Asset is reduced heavily as well (the rachni workers killed them off obviously).

Actually, whether or not you saved the rachni queen in Mass Effect 1 DOES matter; the outcome is just not apparent right away.
If you saved the rachni queen in Mass Effect 1, and then saved her again in Mass Effect 3, you'll earn the Rachni Workers War Asset with a military strength of 100, and no penalty is given for this except decreasing the strength of Aralakh Company down to 25.
If you killed the rachni queen in Mass Effect 1, the Reapers will replace her with an artificial queen. If you save this queen, again you'll earn the Rachni Workers War Asset...except this time, after a few missions, the artificial queen will fall back into thrall with the Reapers and her rachni workers will slaughter Alliance engineers, reducing the Military Strength of the Alliance Engineering Corps from 130 to 30 and taking away the Rachni Workers War Asset she originally gave you.
So if you want to have the rachni on your side without it blowing up in your face, you have to save the original queen in ME1.
I would say this matters.

Hm, and here I was hoping that if you don't save the Rachni Queen in ME1, there would be no Ravager units in ME3... but I guess that wouldn't translate well into the multiplayer mode and cutscenes.

Keep in mind that for ME3 we no longer played "our" Sheppard, instead we were Watching "their" Sheppard.

Mass Effect 3 - Our choices matter!
A small asset change does exist.
If you killed the first, saved the 2nd, then your workers will kill the entire engineering staff because of "miscommunications".

Probably not the ENTIRE engineering staff, since the Alliance Engineering Corps goes from 130 to 30 and not from 130 to 0.

I bet the engineering staff had janitors that weren't on duty during the day.
