It may be a purpose, but it ain't no reason. We're told over and over again that the Geth are software, not hardware. Legion dies spreading "his" software to the other Geth - ergo, Legion's death is hardware-only. While there are other places Legion can die fruitlessly and isolated from the Geth collective (in the tubes trying to hack doors in the Collector base, for example), that particular ending seems to neglect that Legion's hardware platform burning out and powering off does not mean that Legion is dead. Because Legion is not his hardware platform, he is the software which he just uploaded to every other Geth.

Anyway, in terms of saving. Since Morinth is a remorseless killer who derives satisfaction from the deed, and one who will live for hundreds more years, the universe is better off without her. If you choose her over Samara, she spends the rest of the game trying to kill you. Not cool.

I think that the idea of curing Kepral's just because people think Thane is cool would be lame. The thing I thought was cool about Thane is the way he's discovered a kind of placid detachment in the midst of his life of bloodshed, and has come to terms with his own inevitable death.

Anderson's death is pretty cheap, considering that Shepard can (in theory) survive a collission with the earth from orbit, in the midst of a bunch of burning rubble and whatnot. "Saving" Anderson might be a good usse of one save, if you had one.

Aside from the reasons enumerated above...Legion's survival seems to be in part critical to the Geth making peace with organics, which seems like a worthwhile undertaking. The Geth can download themselves into plowshares and make life better for everybody. Win-win.

Anderson, so he and Kaylee could get back together.

(On that, he said 'we were more than close and after 'this is over' they may do something about it, implying that were not together now. Yet she has an overnight bag in his apartment and he said she wanted to settle down there. Confusing.)

Anyway sidetracked.....so Anderson.

Morinth first. I still regret not getting a chance to save her in ME3
Leigon second. I can't resist "Shepard Commander"
Thane third. Never was invested in him. Neutral. Although I do like that he offers to look after Kaidan.
Anderson last (only cause I headcanon getting his apt in his Will)

Shep and Anderson could share a bro-pad. 

[L2 Sentinel]

It depends on what you mean. If they were all able to be saved, but I could only choose one, I'd probably have to go with Anderson. My Shepard is very fond of Legion and Thane, but he owes Anderson everything.

If I was picking a character to receive the ability to be saved, I'd go with Thane. I know how much he means to a lot of players, especially those who romanced him. I want them to be able to save him.

[d1ta]

Hmmn.. Tough question

Thane: Because he offers to look after Kaidan, fearing that Shepard's enemies will try to finish him off while Shep's away. So yeah, my Shep view Thane as her good friend. And damn that death scene (although beautifully done) it also stings. Maybe it'll be interesting to end that Citadel coup with a laugh

Anderson: Father figure. I so wanted to see him finally happy with Kahlee and who knows, maybe I'll be receiving a wedding invitation from them both XD..

... So, who to save..?
I'll go for a coin toss XD
*tossing coin*

...

And Anderson wins this round. Sorry Thane better luck next time

Legion.

I can't help my feels for that little Geth.

[crimzontearz]

Mordin obviously

[_- Songlian -]

Legion. All the other deaths make sense in the story more than his.

Anderson's. I love the guy. He's a father figure to Shepard, and his death is completely.... unnecessary. It might sound weird, but he at least deserve a meaningful death. His death at the end was really forced, and rather meaningless He spent his whole life fighting, he deserves better ;(

[nrobbiec]

Damn.

Thane's death was great - he was on the way out anywhere, gets to be a hero and you get the touching "his wish was for you" scene

Legion's death was great - out of the four, his death was the saddest for me, like Thane's it makes sense but sad

Anderson's death was great - his father/son relationship with Shepard and getting to finally rest after everything is over.

Morinth...always dies in ME2.

[OMG it's G]

If you mean Morinth and not Mordin then her, because Mordin was saved in my playthrough 

Morinth was one of the most interesting characters BioWare had created and they completely wasted her. If only ME3 wasn't rushed then they might of done something awesome with her, rather than a couple of e-mails and off screen Banshee-fication ( ._.)

[shodiswe]

Legion, however, I can't see how one could save someone from their own beliefs.... After all Legion doesn't die because he's beign killed, he does it to save his people, andtherefor becomming a Geth Messiah.
It woudln't surprise me if the Geth keep Legion figurines in the future instead of Reaper claws like the Heretics did. As a symbol of all the best in the Geth. In a way Legion gave the Geth their future, he would be like a Jesus or whatever who sacrifised it's own existence for it's people. The Geth construct that became one and who saved their people. Quite the weird story. Perfect for religious crazyness... Could have a Geth standing next to a Hanar preaching it's beliefs  

Then when the protagonist commes along they start arguing which was the greater, the Enkindlers or Legion! Who was the greatest? the ones who taught the Hanar to speak and advance technologicaly or Legion who helped each Geth to become strong and independant, freeing them to spread throughout the galaxy.
Who will the player support? Or will the player be able to convince them to "respect" each other?

Anderson doesn't die because he makes a chosen sacrifise but rather the choice of someone else. He would be possible to save, possibly.... Thane is already dead, either by bullet or a few days later by choking to death... Morinth... Well, I don't really care about Moringth, she's just trouble imo. I never saved a save with her alive, I always picked her mother.

[Barquiel]

Morinth or Anderson

I think that Morinth had huge potential to be a fantastic character but all this potential was wasted. I also loved her as a squadmate (and her voice^_^). Her fate doesn't make much sense either, imo. Morinth's evaded capture for centuries and knows how to stay alive. She's also extremely powerful. I'd expect her to be able to evade reapers as long as she needs too. Having Morinth in the monastery would've been criminally easy as well.

[Argolas]

Not Legion because of his 180 in Rannoch, he would have died in my playthrough anyway because he can't be stopped otherwise. Not Morinth since she is an addict killer who couldn't stop even if she wanted to.

Leaves Thane and Anderson and that's tough. Both deserve to live IMO and both have loved ones to return to. I'd choose Anderson I guess, but with no solid justification.

If I remember correctly Legion's death has nothing to do with burning out his hardware. Rather for whatever reason he could not completely replicate the upgrades with a simple copy/paste and had to dissassemble his core software in order to be able to apply it to the Geth.  

[Badkidoh]

I would pick Mornith most likely but I kinda want save Anderson too for Kaylee. also i wound not mind saving T.I.M. & Emily Wong.

Can't choose between Anderson and Legion. Legion's death at least has great purpose of freeing his people.

Anderson

Anderson died for no real reason. The writers wanted to add weight to a weightless ending.

Legion is a close 2nd, because everything that happened to the Geth , contracted Legion sayings about the Geth in ME2. "Geth form their own future" was thrown out the window .

[llandwynwyn]

Thane. I'm not even a fan, but he deserved more.

[Dieb]

Am I really the only one convinced that Legion never even "died" in the first place?

He gave up his shortlived individuality as a platform, to devide himself into a multitude of Geth software again and upload it to the rest of his fleet. But then again, I don't even consider the reaper-updated Geth as alive, so...

In a sense, Legion is now part of all Geth hence why the prime on Rannoch said they would keep his promise. They would all have Legion's memories.

[arial]

hmmm.... tie between Legion and Thane.

[Rodia Driftwood]

I'd save Morinth. Not because I liked or disliked her, but because I felt like she was just discarded. Even if she's alive by ME2, she is turned into a Reaper. It's a terrible fate that I could never bring down on anyone.

She deserved a chance for herself.

[AlanC9]

 My Shepards would mostly pick Anderson. I would pick Jack since she's had a fairly sucky life and should get a break.

Neither me nor my Sheps would pick Thane or Morinth. Morinth deserves death, and Thane has a good death.
