Salarians or Krogan was a tough one, the first time. But I figured with Wrex and Eve working with eachother, they could keep the Krogan in check.


I thought this too, but then I realized it wouldn't matter if the Reapers destroy everything, and you would also gain Turian support if you chose the Krogan. So it was Turian+Krogan or just the Salarians, which join you later regardless. lol


Oof, we'd better hope Wrex doesn't die in the attack on earth...


OH WAIT LOL. I forgot it doesn't matter cause of the ending. He wouldn't make it back to lead the Krogan anyways lololololol

Good topic. Not so much a choice but shooting Mordin in the back on my second playthrough, which was renegade. He cured it in my first playthrough by in my second playthrough, I was forced to make the tough choice of killing him in order to sabotage it. When he turns back and says "I made a mistake" I got all emotional. Then when the time for the renegade interrupt came, I hesitated, knowing what would come, but I did it. Afterwards, I wanted to throw myself in front of a bus for betraying Mordin like that.

The first time I got to Virmire was a tough decision. Looking back I have no idea why it was because I only used Wrex and Garrus, I didn't even use Ashley or Kaidan. I think I was asking myself why BioWare thought these weak humans were actually important.

Other than that I don't really have any tough decisions in Mass Effect games, because I can always play it again. Every Shepard is different.

 Outside of the ending, hardest decision for me by far is actually Legion's loyalty quest.  It's one of the rare instances where the "paragon" option has never quite sat right with me.  I mean.....it reminds me somewhat of the me3 endings actually because it basically boils down to either compromising the freewill of synthetic life, or destroying them completely.I eventually went with rewriting them because I decided they would prefer rewrite to outright destruction (Legion seemed to agree) and i figured they would be useful in the coming war with the reapers (which they kind of where)....but it was a pretty hard decision and I'm still left feeling like either choice is pretty ethically questionable.

Sidenote:  Easiest decision for me:  Virmire.  "Wait...you mean I never ever have to hear Kaidan talk again?!?  Ok, Ash isn't great but at least I don't feel like punching her in the face every time I see her."

Actually for me the hardest choices were the character related ones. In terms of the larger scale conflicts it wasn't as difficult. On Rannoch I would've chosen the Geth in a heartbeat had I not been able to resolve the situation peacefully. On Tuchanka I would always have cured the Genophage with Wrex at the lead. As you can imagine, I'm not a big fan of species suffering at the hands of another.

No for me the harder choices were in ME2, as I did not have enough paragon/renegade on my first playthroughs to settle fights between crewmembers. When faced with the choice between Miranda and Jack, I eventually sided with Jack. When faced with the choice between Legion and Tali, I had to choose Legion. So on my first playthrough I lost some people due to those choices.

whether to buy any more ME related games. Tough call...

Seriously though...I think the rachni queen in ME1 was always a toss up for me.

Saving or losing the council in ME1, and killing/rewriting the Geth in ME2. I still haven't found a satisfactory answer for either.

Didn't have any problem with the Geth/Quarian in ME3. My Shep was always rather fond of the Geth, and after the fifth Quarian kick the dog moment, he was quite happy to let them burn.
Managed to save both anyway due to high paragon.

For me it was a question of Grunt and the Rachni Queen. And then there was the choice to save the Quarian Admiral or his men.

For me it was the Rachni. I put the controller down and walked around the house for about 10 minutes. I figured it would have huge consequences in the conclusion to the trilogy. Heh.


Definitely the Rachni in ME1.  Genophage decisions in ME3 were a close second.

Easiest decision: Touching that.  Repeatedly.


Keeping or erasing the data on ME2 was harder for me. The real Genophage or no genophage decision seemed to be there. 
I personally had a more conservative point of view about that, the Krogan are really ''instinctive'', and letting they breed out of control sounded just wrong. 
In Mass Effect 3 you are presented with more info, more points of view, which allowed me to see the Genophage as unresonable ''nowadays''. Necessary at the time, not now.

I got both Quarian and Geth so no conflict at that point. 

Also troubled at Collector Base. I honestly still think that all that would be awesome for humanity, but I was leaving it for Cerberus, a private organization, not the Alliance or some... University? So ''nah''.

End of Project Overlord, tough call. In the end I chose to leave David with Cerberus.

it was the Ashley/Kaidan part, 'cause all the other options I thought could easily be solved with high paragon or renegade, but there was no escaping that decision...I bet by the time Shepard made a decision, Saren would've killed everyone by then, haha :P

to much love for the Collector base. I thought that easy no way I was giving TIM more technology. Now I always had a tough choice with who my LI would be...landed on Tali most of time. lol but I can't believe the final decision isn't on at least one dumb persons list.


The ending decision is garbage and everyone knows it.

In the heretics base, straight to Rewrite. No trouble at all about that. I knew that under Legion the Geth could be good again.

Here's one that doesn't get much press: Garrus' recruitment mission in ME2. He was the first squaddie I found, which means I had Jacob and Miranda. I flatout did not trust Miranda. Figured she was going to turn on me.

Garrus and I have to split up so I can go close the doors. If I leave Miranda with Garrus, she'll shoot him and claim it was the blood pack or something. If I take Jacob and Miranda with me, Garrus might ACTUALLY be killed by the blood pack. So I left Jacob and took Miranda with me.

Quarian/Geth for myself too.

Tali was the most impotant thing for my Shepard, and he knew he was basically killing off her whole people. Allowed the code to upload because I felt it was the right thing to do, despite Tali's begging tearing me appart. Then the Paragon speech option came. Phew.

Think my heart would've broken if I had to watch the scene where Tali begins to cry seeing her race getting obliterated and suicided. It hurts only to know there's a possibility for it to happen. >_<

Virmire. The rest were no brainers. Well Virmire was a no brainer too, I just decided with my penis instead.

I just decided to keep as many as I could alive. Needless to say Mass effect has rewarded me for my paragon strategies.

Especially in me3....Renegade Shep is someone my paragon shep would end up killing.

Whether or not to play through ME3 again. This is still my dilemna. So far no.

That one was a no-brainer to me. I took him to Grissom Academy. Sure, they were trying to help humanity, but can you do that if you lose your humanity in the process? 

+5 Paragon for me.

That's pretty much what did it for me.  The decision actually isn't that different then whether or not to save Maelon's research data on the genophage.  The information or knowledge was achieved through horrible and unethical means...but can't it still be used for good?
I would say yes....but if the choice for the research data on the genophage was destroying it or handing it over to a giant corporation to exploit the Krogan with.......I lean more towards destroy.

Sabotaging the cure and shoot Mordin in the back to get Krogan AND Salarian support. (Wrex not alive) Tough decision.

I didn't really have any tough ones in ME3, my mind was made up about most things already. Grunt/Rachni Queen was the only one I can think of, and that one turned out not to matter anyway.

Saving the Rachni queen, because I had a feeling it would either be an amazing decision or one that could cost me big-time in the long run (hindsight LOL).

Also Virmire, because first time round... Jesus Christ it was tough.

And saving the Destiny Ascension, because I had a horrible feeling that bringing my troops in early to save it could have put the Normandy in jeopardy, or meant we wouldn't have the firepower to properly destroy Sovereign.


ME1 had the best decisions, because I was still naive enough back then to think they'd actually matter. >.>
