This topic is addressed to those players who have gone through the trilogy a number of times, trying out different variations of the story.

 

So far I have killed just about everyone there is to  kill except Garrus. (I didn't see much point in killing him since all it does is reduce the content in ME3 without making any substantial changes to the story, except on Menea.)

 

I killed Tali once by siding with the Geth. This was actually an accident since I thought I would get an interrupt to stop the Geth VI before the Quarians were wiped out. I also intentionally killed her once during the SM so I could do the Rannoch arc without her. In both cases, however, I pretty much gave up on the playthrough very soon after Rannoch was over. Not having Tali around was depressing. So I won't be killing her again.

 

Wrex is an interesting case. I have killed him on Virmire a goodly number of times, but I can't bring myself to kill him in ME3. I have seen the confrontation on youtube and it is just too gut wrenching for me to endure in my own games. So if I know I will be sabotaging the cure with my current Shepard, then I usually kill him on Virmire. (Not recruiting him at all screws up the dialogue enough in ME3 that it is better to just recruit him and then kill him.)

 

For some reason, though, I don't have that problem with shooting Mordin. In the case of Mordin, I have no problems creating a Shepard that puts the value of sabotaging the cure above the value of friendship. If Mordin won't listen to reason and back off, well, I'm sorry Mordin, but I warned you. But betraying Wrex somehow goes too far.

Still mad about Legion.

 

He had a soul.......

 

I would choose the Geth over Tali.

 

I wouldn't kill Wrex.  That's your boy.

If we're talking meta, everyone but Miranda.

 

If we're talking from Shepard's POV, everyone but Miranda.

No he didn't. You can't have what doesn't exist.

Ironically, the one I'm most willing to kill is Mordin. He's my favorite character in the entire series, and has some of the best dialogue as a companion, but the confrontation between him and Shepard is so good that it makes for a damn good, yet painful sendoff for this character. Of course, I don't do this with my "canon" Shepard, but still, every other Shepard does it. Runner up is Legion, because so. many. interrupts.

I agree, that scene of Shepard shooting Mordin is really well done. Oh, the feelz!

Out of all the squadmates the only people I have killed is Samara. I killed Samara in my later renegade playthroughs because I found her character very inconsistent if you keep her alive.

 

That being said, even with my renegade character, I have never killed Wrex or Mordin and I am not even going to try those options.

I've killed everyone at some point.

 

People I'd rather not kill: Jack, Legion, Tali, Garrus. At least not Legion in ME2. I hate the Geth VI.

Oh, this is fun. I usually belong to the people who don't kill off as many characters as possible, but... that changed at least a bit. In my first run I only accidentally killed off Kasumi during the Suicide mission. I killed off Miranda in ME3 because I broke up with her :lol:

During my second run I lost a bunch of people including Tali, but I re-loaded for a full Citadel party :rolleyes: Then Zaeed died during his ME3 quest. I also sided with the quarians on Rannoch, so Legion was killed by Tali. A real tear-jerker, that one.

Killing Mordin is something I never did as well, but will do it in my current run. During that I've also killed a few people already, Wrex, Rana Thanoptis, Shiala, a bunch of the colonists on Feros, and Joram Talid amongst others.

And this time I didn't upgrade the Normandy during ME2 at all, and I didn't look up any info on what it does exactly, so what will happen is quite the surprise. This time I'm not reloading anything, so I'm curious who'll make it out with me this time ;) If Samara survives I'll not take the interrupt during the Monestary.

 

The only one I'll probably never kill is Kaidan. I just can't imagine bringing myself to do it.

I'm only on my third run though so there's plenty of opportunity in the future to try and kill off various squadmembers :P

I have no problem killing everyone. Do I feel bad about it. No.

 

I've even killed my Li Samantha several times, but I had to get my ems below 1750 for that to happen. That's fine. If the game allows me to do whatever in regards to killing a character, then that's what I do. The playthroughs that I've killed everyone were specific playthroughs.  Majority of my playthroughs,  I usually have a few die throughout the trilogy

 

I've had the memorial wall filled with names both as a renegade and a paragon with femshep surviving.

That reminds me: I have killed Shiala once, but won't do that again, and if I want Joram Talid dead, or Thane not loyal, then I will let Kolyat kill the Turian. Its just too silly for Shepard to kill Talid right in front of a cop, who then talks about how the kid looks innocent, but the father he's not so sure about. Hey, what about Shepard?!?!?!

Bailey got his job by killing a good Turian (granted, he was set up, but still). I don't think he cares if you kill a bad one. Besides that, he's dirty anyways. He does some of the same things Harkin does (takes bribes, beats prisoners), but ME2 makes light of it. It especially doesn't matter if you have SPECTRE status. And if you don't, Bailey respects you anyways. It's one of the oddest relationships in the series, if you think about it. He gives Shepard a lot of room for some reason. With Wrex, Aria, Citadel Coup...

 

Last but not least, Jorim Talid is just a reversal of Charles Saracino in ME1. Plus, he doesn't have face markings... never trust a Turian without face markings. :P

 

edit: Damn.. that's a bit longwinded for someone like Talid.. Sorry about that. Just brainstorming.

I've done a death run only once because to my mind it makes no sense to kill off your squad mates, even when you are playing as full rengade, because you never know when they are going to prove useful. Yes we know now but Shepard doesn't.

I looked back at my achievements and saw that I saved the whole ME2 crew the first time I played. I wonder if that's normal.. it's like you have to willingly choose fatal decisions and metagame for anything really bad to happen.

I've never killed Liara, James, Zaeed, Kasumi, Grunt, Jack, Jacob and Miranda so far. Furthermore I always save the whole Normandy crew (Kelly,...). And there also some minor NPCs I'm not willing to kill (Shiala, Gianna Parasini, etc).

Samara, Garrus and Wrex survived all but one of my games. In my canon Kaidan died on Virmire but for the rest of my playthroughs it is 50/50 since I don't have a preference between Ash/Kaidan. Mordin, Tali and EDI usually die because I cured the genophage/sided with the geth/chose destroy.

My first playthrough of ME2 was about getting use to the controls and the power wheel. I didn't have Zaeed and Kasumi and didn't know the geth could be a squadmate. It ended up being crash and burn. My second playthrough, I paid attention to the characters and dialogue. The suicide mission went a lot better.

I didn't have Kasumi either.. I played it around launch, so barely any DLC. Just Zaeed and "Normandy Crash Site". I think I was already immersed in the Bioware style of doing things, so yeah, I was talking to characters a lot. 

 

Funnily, Jacob was the first loyalty mission I did... according to my achievements. lol. What was I thinking? I must've really liked him.

I'm pretty sure Jacob is the first squad member to give Shepard notice through Chambers. His loyalty mission is usually the first one I do as well.

No man... I really liked him. I'm telling you....

 

 

Actually he's grown on me. I don't grant his wish and send him to the vents... like some people :P

 Furthermore I always save the whole Normandy crew (Kelly,...).

 

I let the entire crew die once (including Chakwas). That was my current playthrough. But I would not do that again. I don't care about Kelly (except to get my fish back) but I would miss having Gabby and Ken around.

 

On my first playthrough I thought the game was about to end if I went through the Omega 4 relay and there was still a journal entry I hadn't done yet. So I went and finished off that mission. So Kelly died and Gabby along with her. ME3 was kind of a drag with just Donnely down in engineering (and Adams, of course). So from here on out I won't ever delay going through the relay, though I keep threatening Kelly that I will have her turned into Reaper Goo when she is especially annoying about telling me about emails I have that I don't. Fortunately for Kelly, Gabby's fate is tied to hers, so for the sake of Gabby, Kelly lives.

I want to keep Mordin alive, so in a personal canon playthrough I kill off Wrex and destroy the cure.

 

My Virmire survivor is always the opposite gender from Shepard.

 

I kill Garrus in the Suicide Mission, Jacob if I romanced him, so he can't cheat on me later, and Jack, unless I want to skip Grissom Academy so Shepard can kill her personally.

 

Tali kills herself when I have the Geth destroy the Quarians.

 

Other than that, I want everybody to live.

Everyone died in one of my playthroughs. I didn't recruit Javik because there wouldn't be enough opportunities to kill off more squadmates. So you could say Javik is pretty much screwed.

Somehow, I'm happy that you kill Wrex, Jack, Tali, and Garrus together. And don't single out just one of them.  :unsure:  -_- These are some of my favorites.

Afterlife? I might be a fan, but not that much.

 

No, it's just funny to find a player who might be the polar opposite in preferences.
