I did a playthrough where I killed Wrex to see what Wreave was like and to shake things up. Now once again, I want to shake things up for once. Is Wilks worth sending Mordin into the vents in ME2?

[Kataphrut94]

Definitely. While it's hard to see Mordin go in ME2, Wiks is an interesting and likeable character in his own right and his death is just as heart-breaking.

Padok's a fully fleshed out character. He has his own motivations, dreams and hopes that set him as a distinct character from Mordin.

He also however, is basically Mordin on a conceptual level: he regrets the modified Genophage and wants to cure it for the sake of the Krogan. Unlike Wreav and the Geth VI, who act as the antitheses of Wrex and Legion respectively, Padok doesn't bring much new perspective on the entire Genophage conflict.

So, I guess what I'm trying to say is, if something like that floats your boat, you should give Wiks a try.

Personally, I don't like Wiks, simply because he doesn't offer any compelling new perspectives, and his very existence undermines Mordin's entire personal journey from ME2 to ME3. And while I can appreciate giving him lots of dialogue, I feel it shouldn't have been a priority or a necessity considering he's just a substitute and the limited dialogue "budget" needed to be allocated much more importantly in other places.

I think Padok differs on the conceptual motivation. While both he and Mordin regret the modified genophage, they do so for different reasons. Mordin's reasoning is almost entirely personal, as in personal guilt, but Padok's reflects a different qausi-religious ideal of evolution.

It would have been more interesting had Padok been some sort of breakaway STG that differed in philosophy from the Dalatres. Mordin acts out of some moral imperative, so it seems like his natural antithesis should be an utter pragmatist.

I've literally just finished the Tuchanka mission in my first playthrough with Wiks.

I tried him because Mordins voice irritates me in ME3, and also I was hoping it would at least soften the blatant retcon of the genophage effect from ME2 - it doesn't, by the way.

He's a good character, I liked him a lot. However, I was hoping there would still be the option to persuade him to go along with the sabotage and keep a low profile, like Mordin does, afterwards, so the Krogan don't become aware of the deception (I never cure the 'phage - except this time round, where there wasn't the option to persuade Wiks, and I couldn't shoot a cool guy like him in the back).

For me, personally, I'll always stick with Mordin from now on, so I always get the option to sabotage it and keep the Salarian scientist alive. If you want to cure the genophage, or don't mind killing him in a bid to stop the cure, then I'd recommend him.

Padok will go along with sabotaging the genophage in the right circumstances.

Ah I'm completely wrong there.  Both can be convinced if Wreav is clan leader.  Hmmm, food for thought on another playthrough.  Thanks for putting me right!

[Eterna]

Wilks is the best replacement character in this game. I'd say definitely, he doesn't make you wish Mordin was there instead because he is such a great character in his own right.

[Steelcan]

meh I played with him once.

I'm not crazy about his opinions on evolution...

Real talk, Padok Wiks > ME3 Mordin

LOL, yeah. Bizarro Mordin blows.

Wiks and Mordin are awesome. I have gone a playthrough without Mordin. Regardless of Mordin or Wiks being alive, the same thing will happen. They both can still die or be saved depending on your other decisions. You should try Wiks out.

[MegaSovereign]

He's basically the Paragon version of Mordin (not implying that Mordin is super Renegade)

[Lawrence0294]

As awesome as Mordin is, i think Padok is absolutely worth the try.
He's really interesting and not some cheap replacement. He's actually got a personality and great dialogues.

I'd be interested in hearing you elaborate.

[SporkFu]

Almost - not quite, but almost - prefer Wiks over Mordin for the whole genophage story arc. Only thing is, Wiks didn't make me realize just how dusty my room was at the end of that arc. Mordin did.

[ATiBotka]

He's definitely better replacement character than Legion VI.

[Elementlordofmilk]

My first playthrough of ME3 was with Padok. And I really liked him, he's got more of a scientific motivation to curing the Genophage, whereas Mordin had more of a personal and moral motivation to curing it.

Well everyone, you convinced me... I did it. I completed the suicide mission an hour ago and had him eat the rocket. I had a horrible feeling in my gut, but I got over it. Thanks for the input.

The vents, yes? Kind of an uncermonious end to a great character. Face down in the dirt and Sheppard basically just says "Mordin!" and then walks away.

A better death would have been him dying while escorting the Normandy crew. He'd have to be unloyal though.

  Fun character, but I've only heard worse opinions of evolution on this site.
