Hackett always got your back

Not true though, there were plenty of examples in one of the other threads when he preferred to stay away when Shepard could really use his help.

Can't think of any that could actually be blamed on Hackett being an ass, not plotholes. I mean, take the whole of ME2 for example - the main reason we can't even ask Alliance for help is because we're railroaded into rolling with Cerberus. The script dictates, the characters follow.

The only thing I disliked is that he got to make the speech towards the end and not Shepard. But I am assuming that was due to time/budget constraints maybe?

Yeah he's kinda a b***h. Just always ordering everyone around. Why does he sit at the Crucible while the galaxy burns> The "F" does that dude know about science? Get out there and fight the enemy, "Admiral."

Also Hackett had two bouncers with him

[ahandsomeshark]

I don't hate him, he's just annoying the way he's pops in and out and never really does anything.

it's not just that, the collectors were specifically targeting teminus system colonies where the alliance had no jurisdiction. So if shepard had wanted to get anything done he'd have had to partner with someone else anyway.

In ME1 Hackett was borderline closet badguy. There was the business on Luna with the rogue AI he claims doesn't exist and there was the bit where Hackett tries to manipulate a renegade Shepard into killing a red sand dealer that Hackett may have wanted to get rid of for reasons of personal implication.

I assume you're referring to the mission you get when you hit 75% renegade, on...Nonuel? Something like that. IIRC, he's not a red sand dealer, he's a merc/warlord sitting on an eezo-rich rock the alliance made a deal wih and is now becoming more trouble than he's worth. Yeah he's got you cleaning up the Alliance's dirty laundry(there's also the mission with the espionage probe booby trapped with a 20 kiloton nuke), but he's not a villain unless you really hate the alliance or something.

Then in ME2 Arrival Hackett sends Shepard on a special mission straight into a trap set specifically to lure in and capture Shepard. Hackett could have sent any number of N7 operatives or a whole team to effect a rescue. There just is no logical reason to contact and send Shepard while Shepard is both affiliated with a terrorist organisation and known to have been previously KIA.

Yeah, you wouldn't want to send in the guy who killed a reaper to investigate when someone who claims they've found proof the reapers are coming goes missing. That would just be stupid. He mentions why he doesn't want to send a team in, it's in Batarian space and getting caught would start a war. He doesn't even specficically know about Object Rho, and has no way of predicting Kenson and her people were being indoctrinated.

I think people fault him because he pushed all these Crucible shenanigans
Hackett pushes for Crucible => Crucible makes Ending => Ending is Horrible
Hackett => Ending is Horrible

Very likely hypothesis. You sir are a genious.

[xefiroEA]

I think Hackett is awesome.

As an Admiral, the guy is privy to a number of black ops, so it makes sense that when something goes wrong he looks for a contact outside the Alliance to clean them up. I don't recall any of the missions he sends you on to be particularly evil, except maybe the rogue AI in Luna.

Does he really believe it to be a VI gone crazy? I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt there, because it would be really dumb to create an AI and train it to kill humans instead of keeping it in a lab somewhere where you don't need to kill it when after you train it to kill humans, it starts killing humans. That's the sort of behavior I expect of Cerberus, not the Alliance. And that mission is cool anyway because it unlocks a specialization.

Otherwise, the guy has your back. If you look in his dossier in the Shadow Broker's base, he's keeping annoying officers from trying to detain you. And in ME3 he writes Shepard the biggest blank check in history. "Go save the galaxy, I give you the authority to do anything you need to."

[ahandsomeshark]

i actually liked him in ME1 cause I thought he was being set up as like a renegade foil to anderson. the guy who's all by any means necessary.

I'd say you overestimate the decision making ability of our military leaders.

Some people in other thread pointed out (and it kind of made sense) that this looked extremely like perverting course of justice for some personal means.

No way OP, Hackett is the man.

And I can't imagine anyone else playing him in the film but Lance H.


As a side not though, I was disapointed in the renegade options as a whole in this game. No longer could you be a true badass even to your CO.

Now you are badass lite, or saint lite. With absolutely no middle ground.

Holy crap, look back at KoTOR where you had 3-4 options in every dialogue, Now look at ME 3, you have 2.

How is that even a choice anymore?

Seriously if things aren't black and white, then why is there a binary based choice system built into the core of the game?

[kaztas]

Lance Henriksen is just under Christopher Walken damn you!!!

More like homicidal maniac, shooting friends in the back when your CO is not looking.

You always shot friends in the back. Wrex, being the first. 

But back in ME 1 you could shoot someone without regrets.  Or with regrets.  Or not shoot them at all.

Because there was very little auto dialogue and 3 chocies most of the time.

Yeah, no sh*t. Starbrat makes Udina look downright cuddly.

[Baldrick67]

I like the character alot.

Seeing him in the "flesh" in ME2 during arrival was great, tough but fair with a ton of honour. They built upon that in ME3.

The man is the supreme leader of all human forces. I think he should be coordinating Shepards missions.

I think we need a DLC to see how he got the scar ! Maybe him and Zaeed.

[Menethra]

I liked hackett it also helps he the guy who voices him did the voice for sheppard in MW2

Hackett's cool. He's the only member of the Alliance that didn't manage to ****** me off at some point. Looking at you, Anderson, VS, Udina, random defense committee retards.
