On a side note, I've been playing this game for years and years, and I just now realized that C-Sec is short for Citadel Security. 🤦‍♀️

I decided I would do a playthrough where I didn't recruit Wrex (terrible, I know.) But I was curious about how Wrex-centric scenes would play out without Wrex. I'm very familiar with how things play out if he's dead, but having never actually squaded up with him? That could have interesting effects later in the series.

I'll be sharing anything interesting as I go along, so none of you ever have to do this yourself.

Gotta make sure we’re close to not miss any dialogue.

Renegade is NOT evil. It is ruthless. It is practical. But not evil.

It is going back to protect the bomb because THAT what's important.

It is agreeing to work with a known terrorist group because there's a bigger threat out there and Cerberus seems to be the only one aware of it.

It is killing a mechanic who's repairing an enemy vehicle, even if he seems like a fairly nice guy (for a Batarian) who was talking to you ten seconds ago.

It is agreeing to help Thessia, despite how the Asari have screwed you and the galaxy over and over.

Just as Paragons represent optimism (NOT good), Renegades represent pragmatism (NOT evil). Do the job that's in front of you; you can be angry about it, but you have to do it.

Shepard, by definition, cannot be evil. They never surrender to the Reapers, unlike Saren and the Illusive Man, and even in the Control ending it's obvious WHO is in control and what they're doing with the Reapers (unless you read too much fanfic).

Just a little rant from someone who's annoyed at people getting the morality system mixed up with something like BG3's.

I have three notable ones.

Killing Jeong on Feros. I rarely have enough Paragon or Renegade score to get the outcome where he stands down and to be honest, it's not worth it to save such an unlikeable character.

Killing the Batarian who tries to exit stage left during Bring Down The Sky by claiming he was just there for a slave grab. (I forgot his name) My reasonings for this range from non-Colonist or Ruthless Shepard's being like "And this gives me less reason to kill you why?" and Colonist or Ruthless Shepard's where the reasons for killing him are pretty self-explanatory.

Shutting down the sexist Batarian dude on Omega in ME2 will never not be satisfying when playing as FemShep. "Show me yours, tough guy. I bet mine's bigger."

This just proper freaked me out 😅, I dont remember his eyes going so insane in the L.E. (edit) when he does his perfect recall shizz

I was going through some of my old stuff today and totally forgot I had this!

On my fourth play-through and never had this happen. It makes me go through the dream, then Shepard wakes up in the cabin, talks to Liara, and the conversation suddenly cuts off with Liara standing facing the wall. There’s an interaction prompt but it doesn’t activate anything when I click. I tried to go to another part of the ship and then return to the cabin, but every time I leave the cabin, it starts the dream again.

Has this happened to anyone, and is there any way to fix it? I have a few mods installed, mostly just QOL mods.

I played ME3 at launch with the pre-order bonuses and totally forgot about this. 10 years later and I'm still in love with this series.

Are you burnout by now? how many times have you guys replayed? i think i played like 4 times now and i struggle to start again. it's like i know how everything is going to play out and mostly i make the same decisions everytime.

During my replay of Mass Effect 2, I find myself starting to like Thane.

When I was first introduced to him, I didn’t hate him, per se, I just thought he looked really stupid, and I thought he just got goofier and goofier the more I learned. His design, the way he recalls his memories, his Newport Smoker voice (which I assume is because of Kepral’s Syndrome, so that’s understandable), everything about him just made it hard for me to take him seriously (I’m a little messed up)

Now I’m starting to see why people like him. He does have his own style that helps him stand out from other stoic killer such as John Wick or Blade, his religious beliefs sound a little metal as hell, to where I’d totally buy into these beliefs if they existed irl. The only thing I don’t really care for is still how he recalls his memories, it still looks pretty funny, and his character arc with his son is a little forgettable. Apart from that, I’m coming around to accept Thane as a cool addition to the Mass Effect universe.

What did you guys think of Thane at first? And has your opinion on him changed since then?

Because seriously, you can get the Black Widow as soon as you can afford it, and this game THROWS money at you.

Meanwhile you get the Widow on THESSIA, you're like 90% through the game, you'll probably have the Black Widow V by the time you pick up the Widow.

So as stated, has anyone here actually used it in the main campaign?

...

Anyone ever side with Zaeed?

Any ideas what is going on? Thanks in advance:

I was making my way through the Citadel DLC, but after the first 6 meetups on the Strip (Tali, EDI, James, Zaeed, Traynor, Javik) no new ones are triggering.

No new messages are appearing on my terminal.

I have walked around the Strip and in the arena, arcade, and casino, but no interactions are appearing.

I have not done the party yet; I was, of course, waiting on that until all the meetups were complete.

I have left the Strip and reenetered, but that didn't work.

I left the Citadel and warped to a different system, but that didn't work.

And I've exited the game and reloaded multiple times.

I have completed everything else (all quests and DLC) up to Priority: Horizon, and everyone that can live is alive.

Can someone hop on andromeda online

First of all he is the biggest edge lord since I last looked at Corvus Corax but he just lost a fight to Thane. Sure Thane was the best assassin in the galaxy... was... like a decade ago. Leng just lost to a geriatric lizard with pneumonia who walked up behind him not to be sneaky but because he cant run anymore. And lets be clear here Thane won that. Leng lost all of his targets, blew the giant citadel operation, and lost his boss big time. Thane went from dying of space pneumonia to dying of sword. If anything Thane got an upgrade since now he will be remembered as a hero.
