 Save the queen! lol

The Rachni might help in ME3...

[Watcher07]

I always saved her. Granted the knowledge of what was happening in the galaxy (sovereign and the reapers coming back) wasn't fully fleshed out by that point, nonetheless there was a sense that something bad was coming, and soon. The Rachni Queen represented a potential ally, the enemy of my enemy is my friend as they say. The incredible speed that the rachni can reproduce seemed with her fairly genuine appraisal of "kill me or let me go" to convey that she may yet help Shep later on, which as we're talking about, seems to be the direction its going. Also, were she to return with an army and attempt galactic conquest again, Shep seems like the kind of guy who would be ready to face that threat down. Just my two cents.

I saved her on my first playthrough and any other consequent play-through, I guess it's in my nature ^^ And after playing through ME2, I am sure they will be valuable allies against the Reapers!

[GamerT123]

I had the Rachni Queen to live as well as Wrex I'm more worried as to how this'll playout since the korgan and rachni don't get along, in fact bitter enemies. What if I loss one of their loyalty or both of their loyalty?

It doesn't matter how it ends at ME 3, I won't change my decision, she dies. Knowing how it works out is an easy way out and just for weaklings.



I decided without using any kind of metaknowledge. I killed her because I can rather live knowing I murdered a single being, than releasing a creature that could destroy half the galaxy, as each death caused by her I would be as guilty. Dealing with a known threat is better than dealing with an unknown risk (at least imo).

For me it was a moral decision to spare the queen in all my ME1 games. I always thought there was more to the Rachnia war then what was being said, and my decision to spare the queen was made justified like I thought in ME2. Although the Rachnai look grotesque to the eye in reality they are a very peacful species when not interfered with or altered.



I believe they will be very powerful allies in ME3.

I hate spiders... and I normally play renegade characters, but I usually save the queen. Why? Super rachni soldiers obviously.

Just releasing it into the wilds of Noveria was a REALLY dumb move on Shepard's part though. I'd have preferred to take the whole tank with the Queen in it, and relocate it to some uninhabited, uninteresting world, where there wouldn't be a risk of uncontrolled Rachni stowing away on other ships.

Those Rachni were taken from Noveria by Cerberus before Shepard ever got there - then they got loose and started to spread themselves around.

Releasing the Queen had nothing to do with them.

You mean like you did with Miranda and Jack or Tali and Legion?

True, but I would relocate the Queen for as much her own safety as that of the galactic community. Binary Helix was tempted once to try and control the Rachni for their own purposes. There's dozens of other amoral corporations on Noveria, a planet where galactic law does not hold sway, and I wouldn't put it past them to attempt to try to capture the Queen or some of her offspring once news about the Queen's existence gets out.

I wouldn't be so concerned. This rachni queen seems to be free from the taint of old, and seems to have learned from those mistakes. Most corperations wouldn't have the resources to attempt to control a unified rachni population, and it's always good to have a potential ally on the side, seeing that the council is mostly concerned with inaction and self-preservation.

[Mars Nova]

I killed her, not out of hatred, but simply because I could not bring myself to let her go knowing the threat her kind had once posed to the galaxy and could potentially pose again.

[KanjibacK]

I spared her life because she's the only rachni left on the galaxy.

It doesn't work that way with Wrex, he'll tell you you are making a mistake before saving the Queen and then afterwords he complains that it'll be the Krogan who'll have to save everyone but it won't change any loyalty as it does with Jack/Miranda or Legion/Tali.

I never got the impression that the Wrex had anything against the Rachni, just acknowledging what his people sacrificed to put them down the first time and they're considerable less capable now.

Which is part of why I don't release the Queen.  If the Rachni decide to make trouble whether years, decades, or centuries from now, we don't have the Krogan who were necessary not just for their high fertility and repopulation rates but because of their ability to survive the toxic environment of the Rachni worlds that held the Queens and hit them where they live.  So unless the Council decides to work on curing the genophage ASAP, you know right after hell freezes over and pigs fly, if the Rachni decide to make trouble we are 7 different kinds of screwed.

Save the Queen. Save the Galaxy. :-)

Silence before the great, epic storm of awesome organic alliances... oh and the synthetics too!

[Selor Kiith]

I let her live... first because Genocide shouldn't be applied on one individual that is essentially helpless just because theire ancestors were a bit bad and I thought I would need the Rachni Power to fight the reapers...

I let her live because thats what I would have done. What they showed in mass effect 2 she seems to want to help out.

[Sailears]

I like letting her live. I find them to be a very interesting race; a refreshing change from the usual humanoid races (excluding hanar).

[TheRealIncarnal]

In my "What would I do" playthrough I let her live. Although her ancestors did something wrong, she did not, and she understood that her current "children" were terribly wrong.

Same. Also actually talking to the rachni queen and the whole messiness of genocide made me spare her. Couldn't kill her just for what her ancestors did, anyway. Though, at the time I was afraid that Wrex would leave or something afterwards lol.
