whew just finished up my first play through. lost mordin and jack holding the line. liked mordin a lot so not too happy about that... but im curious how many went with the paragon ending and destroyed the base, or went renegade ending and and salvaged the technology? i salvaged it but i get a bad vibe from "illusive man" . thoughts?
just finished!

I destroyed it myself. I deliberated for a few minutes but I ultimately think that TIM is too power hungry and too irresponsible, and I don't like the way Cerberus goes about doing things. Not to mention that using Reaper technology seems to go bad for just about anyone who attempts it.
Also, something that Legion said really struck me... that quote he took from Sovereign in ME1. The idea that using their technology is what allows the Reapers to control us in the first place. I hadn't thought too deeply about the things Sovereign said until Legion mentioned them, and I think that it is a wise outlook. Take your own path to the same end, and you can avoid being blinded and controlled by the path that another took.

If you salvage it, basically your crew hates you, from what ive heard, ive never salvaged it through any of my playthroughs, like after beating the game your put back on the normandy right? Go talk to your squad mates and hear what they think about you keeping it, when i destroyed it i got praises from everyone, im guessing its the opposite if you keep it, plus im not a fan of the ol illusive man. Harbringer does say (when you destroy it) "that which you see as reapers are your salvation through destruction" and something just sounds fishy about that.

From what I've seen on here over the past four or five weeks or however long it's been, most people destroyed it on their frist playthrough.
Still, it's your story man - only you can decide what's right and what's not.

The final thing that made me destroy the base first time round was the fact that TiM uses the politicians answer to the question "Do you intend to make a reaper?" It's a yes/no question, yet he answers with "It could save thousands of lives!" That's not what I asked TiM, I asked if you intended to make a reaper, your response is a "Yes, but I don't want to admit it" answer, so boom boom time...
Plus, as another poster (Pauravi) has already mentioned, Legion's words on what Sovereign said is very telling, and I think the pinning screw to the entire plot.

Kept it. Can not bring myself to destroying something that valuable. Seriously.

They don't hate you, they just question whether it was the right dsecision.
I almost always salvage it.

Hence why i said "from what ive heard", it was just a guess. Considering you get all praises for destroying it, i figured theyd be against you for keeping it.

Kept it.
There's no 2nd chance with the reapers. If you don't win, all advanced life in the galaxy goes bye bye. Even If I knew for a fact that TIM wanted to make a reaper, I'd still salvage it, then deal with TIM after I took care of the reapers. Even if I found out that TIM was working for the reapers, I'd still salvage it, then I'd bring the alliance in to take control.
You just don't f**k around with the reapers, don't take chances. Anything you can get working for you is extremely valuable. You can deal with the consequences later.

Salvaged. Incredibly short-sighted and naive destroying it without further thought, imo.
Lost Tali holding the line. While it hurts, thats the way of life. I don't see the point of going after a perfect playthrough, it just ruins the excitement and tension of the story.
She will be remembered.

How come garrus tells you to save the base pretty much, but then everybody hates you for it later??

Noone hates you for it, they're just wondering if it was the right thing to do. Hell, I even ask that myself, but I wouldn't have done it any other way.

I definitely destroyed it. Did Cerberus learn nothing from the attempt to claim the Reaper IFF? Just because it isn't a Reaper itself, that station was built by the Reapers to be run by slaves. Indoctrination is one of many threats that thing has. A Cerberus observation team could wind up becoming the new Collectors, and the situation could start all over. And that is one of a hundred possible threats. What about technological failsafes? Who knows what sort of backups or booby traps that station could have?
And, lest we forget, we're turning that base over to one of the most sociopathic individuals we know.

I think without the paragon/renegade system the numbers would be more even. Personally I think choices should be kept multifaceted and komplex, rather than labeled blue or red.
