I kept the collector base at the end of me2 even through I have a paragon shepherd. Am I in the minority?

All my crew express reservations but I feel you just can't go past the data you would learn from such a place. Not to mention having the place as a base of operations. Plus I feel my shepherd could mitigate against the worst excesses of the illusive man by blowing it up in me3 (or so I hope) once reapers are defeated.

My only concern is potentially losing the support of the alien races against the reapers - but I figure with desperate times and all they will rally around.

The only thought that kept my paragon from keeping it was that it wasn't going to be 'your' base of operations...it would have just been another extention of Cerberus...and that, in my mind, would suck. My first canon Paragon shep destroyed it...my second paragon and my first renegade are keeping it.

i agree the data you can obtain from the ship would be substantial, BUT! you are giving it to someone who can not be trusted if it was put into safe hands I'd be all over preserving it.

I always keep the base and basically join forces with Cerberus and TIM

As much as people hate the Council, I'd trust them to do the right thing. If I'd been working for them, I'd probably have saved the station.



But the Illusive Man is a total ******, and the last thing I want is to see a Turian Reaper flying around with a Cerberus logo painted on the side.

I didnt keep it. Cerberus seem to be very pro human. The only reason TIM sends you files on other crew members is to make sure you succeed. I am sure that if the ase goes to TIM then he will use it to bring the human race to greater power at the expense of the other races.

I am sure that in ME3 there will be both pro's and con's against both outcomes in ME2.

Keeping it or destroying it. And whatever the consequences of doing either will play part in ME3 to some extent. Maybe the right thing is to keep it, having it might force the others to join you in the final showdown, or they will turn their back on you. We will know which route is the right one in time.

I don't buy that whole "It was a rogue cell" every time something bad is brought up about Cerberus. That **** can't be kosher, since EDI freaking tells you that there are only a dozen cells active at anyone time, and TIM oversees all of them.



Seriously Cerberus can't be trusted, I don't care how they try to brainwash your Shepard with stories of how they are the only group willing to go the distance to save humanity, they are scum and deserve a boot to their face and a claymore round in the gut.

Other than TIM being an untrustworthy ******, what about indoctrination & husk or other tech infecting Cerberus personnel who study it? Nothing bad could happen while studying it...

Bingo.

If there were a way to go get Councilor Anderson (given  you're the only ones with a IFF to get through the Omega 4 Relay) instead of giving it to TIM, I'd have totally kept it intact for research.

Since it wasn't an opton, BOOOOM!!!!

I have multiple save games where different decisions were made, both major and minor, just in case. Though, that's merely for gameplay variety. My primary option was to destroy the base.

I as a renegade kept it.

My friend (whose paragon) kept it.



We are at war with an undefeated species of sentient machines that have wiped out all organic life multiple times over, self righteous morals aren't going to stop them.

I kept it with my Renegade. Still hung up on the illusive man. I've always kind of had the attitude that Renegade Shepard will fly back through the Omega IV relay, kill his way in again, and blow it up this time if he has to.



I would think though after everything a stone cold machiavellian like TIM would see the obvious benefit of not crossing Shepard.

I kept it, as a paragon. As much as I dislike the thought of TIM having it, it's probably going to prove invaluable against the reapers.

Yours truly.
Kept it, I mean. For several reasons, which I would expand on if I were not about to fall over flat on my face from exhaustion.
Perhaps another time.

The alliance and the council are pricks as well they do not give a crap about Shepard. Cerberus is better than a bunch stupid clowns who sit around a stupid table with their heads up their butt hole all the time. Screw the Council

Ya I have to admit I did like TIM better than the council.

Its nice to see someone likes TIM as well. Cerberus is about action and getting the job done and the anti Cerberus fan boys rather sit around a stupid table and talk about things like the alliance and the council do.

I kept it. In my mind, there has to be something on that base that we can use against the reapers, and we're gonna need all the help we can get against them.



I played the entire game as a paragon, and went renegade on the last big decision. Which, now that I think about it, is kinda funny, cause i played through ME1 as a paragon as well, but chose the renegade option on the last decision as well (so long council).



odd . . .

Yeah, TIM can’t be trusted, but it’s not just that.



Because Cerberus scientists have proven that they’re SO competent at studying dangerous technology in the past, haven’t they?

Exactly.

Even after the reapers are defeated if Cerberus tries to use the technology to conquer other races, do most of you people honestly believe they couldn't be easily stopped? The entire force of Reapers was just destroyed or nullified in some way, you think some two bit group of humans with a small understanding of Reaper technology could possibly pose a threat anywhere near the scale the Reapers did?

Obviously the current threat vastly outweighs any potential (and might I add not guaranteed) threat by Cerberus using stolen Reaper tech. Going without that base is like running into a firefight blindfolded.

the alliance turned its back on Shepard. TIM and Cerberus should just crush the alliance and the council like what the Emperor did with Order 66 in Revenge of the Sith

Well I don't trust the illusive man. He doesn't lecture though which makes him a lot less annoying, and he also doesn't think you're insane or worse which is a big plus.
