 Whew, I like to rewatch the footage of Mordin's loyalty mission every once in a while (to try and figure out my position on the genophage. Still can't figure it out.) and I think there's one line in there that just sums up Mordin's involvement in the genophage, where he says:

"Modified genophage project great in scope, scientifically brilliant, but... ethically difficult. Krogan reaction visceral, tragic,- not guilty,...but responsible."

[Raphael diSanto]

Mordin's one of the most fully-fleshed out and multi-layered characters in the entire ME universe. He is directly in the middle of the genophage moral argument, which is a seriously complicated ethical minefield, no matter where you stand.

Mordin, in many ways, is a perfect example of what Renegade Shep should aspire to. Mordin -cares- about the Krogan, as he cares about all species. But he didn't let that stop him from doing what he knew needed to be done.

He's smart. He's tough. He's ruthless and he's funny.

I think Mordin's fantastic.

I liked all the new squadmates in ME2 but Mordin is my favorite out of all of them. At first I thought he was going to be a really annoying character but man I ended up using him in a majority of the missions. Deep and funny character and great loyalty mission...can't go wrong.

And I can't tell you how many times I spammed Mordin's incinerate power.

This is how I feel about this thread. Great work on the frontpage, Silt. Could you also add the link to the 'Is Paragon too hard on Mordin' thread. I remember you took part in it, and it was one of the few actual discussions that were about Mordin. Consesus must not only be built, but also archived for poserity's sake



So, who wants Mordin to come back as squadmate, and who as a non-recruitable NPC?



Mordin was great in combat, so great that when I aquired him, I thought he'll be the permanent fixture in my squad. But I tried to roleplay, and I always ended up leaving left him back on the ship. Overprotective of my irreplaceable geniuses, I am.

Done, aaaand done.

Ideally I'd like him as a squadmember, since that also means he gets reaction dialogue when we're out in the field.
Any time I get more Mordin dialogue is a happy, happy time for me.

But like I've said before, I'll take him as non-recruitable if necessary.  I just want him with an active role in the game.  Besides, he's the professor.  What if we need him for another anti-seeker-swarmish kind of technology in ME3? Who will give us our extremely technical and occasionally improbable deus ex machina if there's no Mordin?!

Without him, we're doomed. Doomed I say.

Mordin has unfinished business on Tuchanka. Since he's so smart, I'm thinking he can last a few more years.

Ah, yes, the 'unfinished business on Tuchanka'. We have already discussed that claim (thanks for the link, Silt)

I'll take it from here: no matter how you view the krogan uplifting and genophage, consider this: in their current state, curing genophage will result in the second krogan uplifting. I trust Wrex to civilize Krogan someday, but it will take a lot of suspension of disbelief if he actually manages to do so by ME3. So I've kept this cure, and am getting ready to initiate disbelief-suspension protocols, but in truth, I want them to postpone curing krogan (ah, that's renegade)

My main fear for Mordin is that he WOULD be reduced to The Professor role, Silt ( me, personally - I want him to operate and cut out those synthetic implants cerberus has put in, if it is still possible. They unnerve me. Can do, Mordin?)

He had excellent development in ME2, one of the best I remember from Bio, being both a great comic relief and an incredibly serious character. I want his serious side to be developed too. I just don't quite see were it will go.

Will he be seduced by asari, and finally understand what love is about? Nah...
Will he become subtly indoctrinated when researching reaper tech, and become their advocate? (they are, if you look at the bigger picture, an integral part of intergalactic biosynthetic diversity) Nah...
Will his STG past catch up to him? His old coworkers trying to take him out because he knows something he should not?Will his long lost grandfather turn out to be the last member of The League of One? nah, Bio and their family matters

My point is, writing Mordin will not be easy. They have set the standard too high

I don't want him to be reduced to sitting on the ship, performing scientific miracles, and dispensing advice, dammit!

I do agree that they've set the standard pretty high, that's a good point.

Unfortunately, I've no idea what they're going to do with the game structure in ME3.  Will they even still have character-specific quests, what with all the SRS REAPER BIZNIS? (Man, I hope they do. Those are usually my favorites.) Or will they assume that we know the characters well enough, considering we spent pretty much the entirety of ME2 learning about them?

My hope for Mordin is ultimately this: as big a role as possible.  I ideally want him with just as much involvement as he had in this story (maybe more), but I do realize that they have a large number of squadmates to work around, and that if someone gets the ax it might be Mordin since he can rather easily fulfill a non-recruitable role.

I'm probably still stuck in the mentality where I believed he's going to die in a few years and I just wanted him in ME3.  Now that I found out otherwise I should probably raise my expectations a little though.

So Silentstephi had a nice big .zip file of Mordin screens and I figured it'd be fun to pick my top 10 favorite Mordin expressions.

Right over here

It was damn hard to choose which ones.

Oh, fantastic!  I had a good giggle at 9.  (That's an icon waiting to happen, that is.)  7,6 and 3 were also spectacular, and 2 is always a fav.

Any, ah....any possible way you could point me in the direction of said .zip file? Help a girl get her Mordin fix?

Hopefully Stephi won't kill me for linking this (oh and if you're reading this? You can totes make fun of me in Shore Leave Friday tomorrow at the comm), but...

Here you go

It's 90 megs. .rar format actually.

Yaaaay! Thank you!

May I link your top 10 faces on the OP?  Or would you rather I just linked the images and left your journal out of it?

(Shore leave Friday is tomorrow! I forgot!  One more reason why Friday rocks any other day of the week on it's face.)

Woo! I got linkage! /rocks out



Actually I was just gonna ... crap... train of thought derailed. There was a very important reason for coming to the Prof's thread.... OH! RIGHT!

So I have the Turian Tattoo DB up and running, but I'm curious if I should start a Salarian Skintone DB as well. They look so pretty ... Oo But I have a bunch of pics of just Mordin, and I need a bit of a refresher on all the good places to find up close shots of salarians (like Thane's recruitment mission). Only thing is, this would be purely from a "this is pretty" as opposed to "face butterfly means x colony (AND THAT YOU CAN"T BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY PALLIN!)"
