    That was, hands down, the best and most morally complex decision of the entire game

    such a tough choice

    Yeah, the Admiralty Board were very interesting.
    The game makes it easy to hate Zaal'Koris seeing as he comes off like a jerk but he feels going to war with the Geth would be pretty stupid. Then you have Han'Gerrel who's pretty cool but who also has his mind set on taking back the Quarian homeworld. And then there's Daro'Xen who's just plain mental with her idea of trying to make the Geth slaves again to the point where you might as well slap a 'Chekhov Enemy' or 'Be Killing You Later' bumper sticker over her visor.

    The poor geth. The quarians are all "Wipe them out! RAAAGH!" And meanwhile the geth are trying to clean up the homeworld for the quarians return.

    I hope I'm not being too thick but do you think that an e-mail you get after Horizon could be taken as an inferred apology from friend-zone Ashley/Kaidan? It's the one from Robyn Reeve.

    Used to playing the game as a Renegade? I felt the same way when it came to trying a Renegade run myself. I had to pay attention a lot in the first game as I didn't want the points at the cost of making that Shepard sound like a racist.

    Actually, I'm used to playing the game as a close split of 50/50. Tends to lean more renegade, but that's about it. I usually just play it out how I'd actually react.

    Next one is hardcore renegade...which means being a dick to my crew. Not sure I'm actually going to be able to do that.

    Brainwashing a sentient being, regardless of its chemical composition, is little fucked up. On the other hand, killing the heretics still seems like a waste of life. When the Quarians mention retaking the homeworld by force, a strengthened Geth presence would deflect, hopefully discourage such a suicidal attack, as well as provide more strength against the Reaper threat.


    I enjoy trying to work my head around Gethics, either way.

    I went the other way
    Primarily my thought was the whole "Right to self determinate" bit. Sure, dying is a nasty consequence, but what was it Vetinari said? "No practical definition of freedom would be complete without the freedom to take the consequences. Indeed, it is the freedom upon which all the other are based." Also, political blowback for saying "Hey, some of the Geth are cool and willing to help us wipe out the other Geth"? Massive, but not as bad as saying "They're all trustworthy now! Really!" And finally there's Shepard's line about how the whole mess might start back up again.

    Yeah, a good little moral dilemma.

    Also, flip flopping is surprisingly viable. Most of my games lean Renegade, but I can still hit most of the paragon checks.

    Importing and maxing out the class skill pays off.

    Only seemed to matter during the Samara/Morinth thing. I don't recall many other grey-outs. While it ends up being a good mix, it does tend to be to the renegade side enough to keep options open.

    I got both the options to tell Morinth "Hi, I'm Chris Hansen" on one run.

    Man that was satisfying. Sorry centuries old mind controlling alien vampire god.

    Reprogrammed here. Like Legion says, "their answer is right for them, our answer is right for us." Except the only characteristic determining who is part of 'them' and who is part of 'us' is their answer. So now, they're with 'us,' and billions of geth didn't have to die.
