Spoilered, but you might want to fix your quote of me.

 

I've told you Esri isn't paragon. She's no nonsense, makes the tough calls. She just doesn't act like a jerk for no good reason. 

 

You can't confuse Esri with Dazzle, I'm actually pretty good at playing renegade/evil playthoughs. 

 

I made sure not to include anything actually descriptive of the event..

 

I know Esri is no nonsense, but thats still pretty cold.

Nope.

I thought we'd lose all our troops if we saved the council and wouldn't have enough firepower to defeat Sovereign. Not to mention they kept on trying to hold me back and kept all sorts of information from me! They seemed a corrupt council in my eyes.

 

Okay this choice always annoys me.

Spoiler

Tactically ignoring the Ascension makes no sense. The Alliance fleet has surprise and is attacking the static Geth force from (effectively) above, this means that they have the speed advantage which in air combat (and presumably space) is a really big deal. Basically they're position to swoop in and wipe out the Geth force with minimal loses.

 

The alternative, is move past the Geth force and into a confined space to engage an unknown enemy. This means that as soon as they engage Sovereign the Geth fleet will be behind them firing from a spread out position in on fleet packed into a tight space with nowhere to move. That's suicide. That's Persians at Salamis levels of stupid.

 

I'd say sacrificing civilians to save soldiers is missing the point of having soldiers as well, but that's another discussion.

 

(edit) Not that I'm saying your wrong, I just disagree with how the game frames the choice, or that it is a choice.

heck if its just for the one game, buy a used one off Ebay...you can get them starting at $125

I don't know much about tactics or space combat. I just worried that

Spoiler

if I saved the council that I wouldn't have enough troops left for Sovereign and I didn't want to leave it up to chance.

I know, but your quote of me is still showing my unspoilered post. It didn't update that I spoilered it. 

 

It's not that cold, is it? It's 3 people in exchange for saving the galaxy...

oh good point...

 

well you save the galaxy either way...and...

 

Spoiler

its not just those 3...its the crew of the Ascension, and the most powerful battleship in the galaxy....and those 3 are the ruling body..who would now owe you big time....

its more about saving human lives versus sacrificing human lives just to rescue the council...

you save the galaxy both ways....this way you just gaurantee they die while you focus on Sovereign...

((realistic tactical issues aside)) its a good choice mission wise...but yes I think it qualifies as cold..

Oh. Wow I did not think that way at all. I didn't see the choice presented like that at all. 

 

Good job Dazzle, screw over another mission again...

 

I don't think I knew the Ascenscion was such a special ship. I thought the Normandy was the best one.

Fair enough. I tend to not like these constructed moral choices anyway. The Grey Warden sacrifice thing similarly frustrated me.

its not a screw up...its the choice I do in most of my playthroughs

really? I love them, they give me a chance to actually craft a different story through different play throughs, choices that really impact the plot

[Lady Luminous]

Alrighty guys, I'm gonna go hop into ME2 now. Any pieces of advice other than "do the bloody side quests, Dazzle!"?

I like them when they're done well. Some just seem very forced.

plan out a balanced skillset party and upgrade their skills accordingly

[Lady Luminous]

Aim for the face and don't be afraid of getting in close with a shotgun. 

 

I thought you're supposed to aim at their little orange triangle? 

[Dgyre]

Yay for spoiler tags not working. lol

 

 

Spoiler

ahhh but see, if you save them, then you OWN them! council in your back pocket...so it can be a strategic choice

[raging_monkey]

Aim for the face and don't be afraid of getting in close with a shotgun.

and melee combat is also good. Check your surroundings and take advantage of powers

[raging_monkey]

Oh and shoot the legs too to give breathing room

[Lady Luminous]

Engineer is OP. Probably my favorite class for ME 2.

 

I think I'm going to stick with Soldier for continuity sake. I could headcanon that she got different skills between games, but... eh.

I like balance and defensive capability, I'm big on Sentinals....especially with the extra perk for special abilty
