luciazephyrFUCK YOU, ME2. I ONLY DID ONE MISSION BEFORE HITTING THE OMEGA 4 RELAY. WHY DID KELLY DIE?
oh because I apparently answered a dialogue question wrong. great. that's awesome, game, thanks.
Calling it now, with ME3, this will be the best narrative in gaming, from start to finish. Well, if you play a Female Shepard anyway. Male Sheps can GTFO. Jennifer Hale is amazing. (Also, watching Sheploo scenes on YouTube, he's always just kind of... lacking. Great for the comedy bits, but for the rousing speeches and quiet determination, eh. Falls flat. Also, Sheploo can't romance Garrus. u jealiz?)
I keep squeeing over the world-building. In this playthrough, I spent a lot more time thinking about each decision I took instead of just going Paragon on everything. Legion's loyalty mission was the toughest, but I chose to rewrite because if the heretics rejoin the geth and bring their experiences, all of them will benefit. Killing them... accomplishes nothing and deletes their experiences forever. I can totally understand someone choosing to kill them instead, as rewriting how someone thinks is fucked up, but that's a human standard, not a geth standard, and I think that's important to keep in mind.
I ended up hassling Mordin a lot less this time as well. He admitted the salarians fucked up in advancing the krogan and putting them in the position that lead to the Rebellions in the first place. The genophage sucked, but it was that or extinction. And this time, we kept Maelon's data for a cure. Maybe in the future, yanno?
And Garrus... killing Sidonis is a back thing in human and turian culture. To turians, Garrus fucked up because he put Sidonis in a position he wasn't ready for. Letting Garrus kill Sidonis would negate that. Sidonis is dead inside from guilt, but Garrus has some responsibility on his shoulders for what happened. He can't just pin it on Sidonis.
So. Yeah. MORAL CHOICES THAT ACTUALLY REQUIRE YOU TO THINK ABOUT THE WORLD YOU'RE IN AND THE CONSEQUENCES. OMG BIOWARE, ILU.
And I watched the DW ep. I have no idea if I liked it or not. I always love Rory, but the Big Reveal was such a "called it" moment.
