I love Aria so I let her strangle him.  I also loved the General.  A respectable enemy and one who had rules and convictions that they weren't willing to break.  He unlike the Illusive Man gave you a little pause when deciding whether or not to kill him.

Your thoughts?

Sincerely,
Xbox Live GT: Da Don Giovanni

I let him live.

He has an honor code he sticks to. He let aria go when he could have killed her and let anyone who stood down live.

Frankly I'm confused as to how he can stay with cerberus, given with TIM does.

A man who experiments on others and turns them into Adjutants unapologetically isn't honorable in the slightest. **** him and all his Cerberus lackeys. I hope his death was painful.

I'd say mercy, but a long jail term.

But his case did remind me of the Nuremberg trials.

How do you differentiate between a good NSDAP member and a bad NSDAP member?
(Using NSDAP, as the other word is censored)

He was a professional soldier, and one who stuck to his code. He didn't needlessly sacrifice his troops, let civilians escape, etc.

That's my justification anyways.

So you're saying he was like Admiral Doenetz, who was the last Fuhrer of the 3rd Reich? Might have something there. Although he had a code of honor, he DID torture and mutate people for his own ends, which I think pushes him closer to the previous Fuhrer. So, I let Aria choke him out. Which probably says something not very nice about me <sigh>.

ME:Invasion says he wasn't responsible for creating the Adjutants, and the videos appear to indicate that they tried to get the existing ones under control. That said, Omega muddies the picture somewhat so it's now open to either interpretation - intentionally, I'm sure, so that we can justify both letting him live and getting him killed.

He did horrible things, and even mentioned that he was playing the system as I was taking him into custody. He may have a code of honor, but he sure finagles some pretty significant loopholes into it. I let him live though, basically because he'd be useful to the Alliance.

It's funny, I literally just finished playing through Omega again. I usually just let Aria choke him out, but for some reason, she spared him this time.

I shot him in the face.

Hm. I thought I was doing all of the same choices as before, but I guess finding Harrot's couch for the achievement this time tipped the scales.

i let him live, but not for his sake or the alliance's. rather for Aria, she's lost alot, her daughter, omega, her former lover. losing the last of her mercy would have brought her down to the level Petrovsky thought she was already, and Aria deserved more then to have him be proven right. doesnt mean i was above pistol whipping the s.o.b. in the face to shut him up.

Actually it depends on how Renegade or Paragon your decisions were during Omega proper.  If you hold to the basic Paragon Line and get Aria to go along with you, you can soften the Iron Lady of Omega just a bit.  She is still the hard nosed Aria we know and love, but she is willing (if you go paragon) to admit that Paragon Shepard isn't a complete weaking...and so his (or her) ethics might have some value.

If you do this, then Aria won't kill Gen Petrovsky at the end.  She will say something along the lines of "I don't believe I'm doing this, but get him the hell of this station....."

If you go Renegade and/or you don't soften Aria a bit, then yes, she'll kill him....painfully.

Death.

I just realized, that if I was a Judge in a court room...I would be a serious ass hole.

There really is no good reason to let him live. Although I really don't give a damn about Arias grudge either.

Gen Petrovsky (going by Omega) is pretty clearly guilty of war crimes going by the Nuremburg standards and he openly admits to perfecting the Adjudants for Cerberus us....and then gloats at the end (if you take him alive) that as an Alliance POW, he's going to get the velvet glove treatment.

I am not sure if I'd kill him or not, but I'd sure recommend to the Alliance to treat him as a war criminal and not a POW.

My main let him live because, frankly, i was surprised when he recognized his defeat and surrendered. Too many times i faced villains that would rather blow up the planet than parlay.

Plus he's quite happy to sing many songs about Cerberus' secrets. The Alliance can always hang him later.

The intel he has is enough reason to let him live. The moment he's no longer useful=death.

Mercy. There's no good reason whatsoever to kill him.

Killing him makes little sense considering his value to the war effort. I can never advocate inflicting death as justified unless it's to save the life or lives of others who are endangered by said person.

He surrendered, he was offering intel, the motivation to kill him was a criminals' vendetta. Yeah, let the bugger live. He's about the only intelligent person in Cerberus too, so he needs to survive from a Darwinian point of view.

Aria in the three years you know her hss never lied to Shepard,  betrayed Shepard or tried to kill Shepard,  Oleg does all three in a short space of time

I like this scene. Aria seems to respect Paragons that show they have a dark side

True. Hitler was like the TIM, and General Petrovsky was like a Himmler (similar, high ranking SS member, but a nicer one.)

So how do you say, "Hitler deserves Crucifixion. Himmler deserves life in prison." When Himmler killed the people, Hitler ordered it?
