If I have to make one other squadmate survive then that would be Legion. Pick somebody else that you want to let survive and I'll cook you up a plan. Morith is the best suggestion for fuckup shep I think, seeing how she plays out in ME3.

I used all the walkthroughs supplied here to modify my ME2 save so only Garrus survived the mission. All it takes is a usb stick, if you want to go the lazy route.

Mr Teatime posted:Do not buy dlc when you are going to sea for 4 months and the game cannot load a save with the dlc without it checking it via the internet every single time. I know it will never happen, but I do wish at some point they remove this check. The game runs through Origin, why can't Origin do a one time check online to confirm purchase then store this data? I didn't have this bs with Steam for ME2, rather frustrating when you can't play your save on the one day you had off because you can't connect to EA's servers for whatever reason, but you can sure as hell still log into the MP servers.

I don't think I could ever bring myself to so a 'FailShep'. I considered doing 'Neutral Shepard' once (someone who'd never choose any Charm or Intimidate dialogue options), but ultimately I still couldn't stand the thought of potentially losing any characters.

I've been reading about Morinth's fate in ME3 if you let her live in ME2. If you let Morinth live in ME2 do you even get the monastery mission in ME3?

Andrast posted:I'm planning on doing a failure run across all three games and I'd like only Garrus to survive the suicide mission with Shepard, what is the best way to make this happen? Here's my dream failshep scenario (heavy me3 spoilers below for like EVERYTHING, you've been warned.) jack - let her be taken at grissom academy and converted into a phantom tali & legion - let legion upload his code and tali commit suicide off a cliff OR send legion to cerberus, kill him at the cerberus base in me3 and still side with the geth, forcing tali to kill herself. get grunt through me2 without his loyalty, let him die to the rachni in me3. sacrifice his squad at the same time. Make sure you kill the rachni queen so that the frankenqueen will betray you. Destroy maelon's data, keep wrex alive. Betray the krogan and sabotage the genophage. Eve will die, you'll murder mordin and later on you'll murder wrex too. Miranda - don't contact her and let her die to kai leng. Bonus points - romance her then dump her in me3. Make sure to visit thane in hospital so he can die as well. Steve cortez - don't help him get over his husband or romance him, he'll die on earth. Nuke Kaidan (let him go out a hero), Shoot ashley in the face because her new haircut is terrible. Pick Samara over morinth. Have Samara kill herself at the monastery. Then murder her last remaining child in cold blood. Recruit Zaeed after the suicide mission, leave him to die during his loyalty. Kasumi - kill her off during the suicide mission or keep her unloyal and let her die in me3 trying to stop a hanar plot (what a lame way to go). Kill garrus in the suicide mission. have a super low EMS - your squad mates with you will die to harbinger's beam. The normandy will explode instead of crash land and you'll burn earth to a husk with the DESTROY ending so that you also genocide the geth and EDI -or- die to marauder shields then turn off the game. Send jacob in the vents, because who really cares about Jacob anyway? at some point in the future, I need to do all of that in one unspectacular playthrough. To top it all off, I'll romance Allers so it's officially the worst shepard ever.

Radio Paranoia posted:This would be one hell of a "Let's Play" Indeed. Though watching it would certainly induce nightmares! My desire to launch right into a second ME3 run (Insanity Engineer) has been delayed somewhat, when I realised the ME2 Shepard I intended to import hadn't done LotSB or Overlord[1]  Still, its far from a hardship playthrough that stuff, though I sorely miss unlimited sprint, and the ability to roll.The thought also occured to me that, with the set of importable careers I have, there are a wide variety of things I'll never see in ME3, or be willing to do (by virtue of my 'vision' of what those Shepards are as characters). With that in mind, I've decided I need to get at least another two ME2 Shepards ready (FemShep and ManShep), and of course they'll need to be based on new ME1 Shepards. Thats like an additional 120+ hours of Mass Effect 1 and 2, that I somehow need to have co-exist with all the already-done Sheps I want to import and play through  [1] They *had* done Arrival, as I wanted to see how a weaponless Engineer would fair in that mission. They fared very well indeed, for the record (though I still insist they nerfed Combat Drones  )

Yeah, as someone who did, and liked, the Jacob romance in ME2, (except for the priiiiiiiiize part) getting dumped is really disappointing. It's almost like they destroyed what little fanbase the character had on purpose. Now I'm going to have to switch around plots in 2 of my saves so Kaidan is alive but cheated with Jacob, and he's dead in my Garrus romance playthrough just so Shep doesn't turn completely suicidal.

"The lizard people evolved?" That made me laugh out loud. So did Joker's comments about the Turians "losing their poo poo." Sometimes ME3 feels more like the Blues Brothers than a Mass Effect game.

Playing through second time now and going for insanity (I am not a good gamer so I expect success to be slow for me). I was running through the Citadel last night and I could not stop remembering the film Traffic. Ohio is blue. Mexico is yellow (and 18 fps). I'm not saying the set designers are Soderbergh fans, but it is odd that not only is the blue wash the same idea of the "safe" area, but the yellow wash on the dream sequences kinda matches the same vibe as Mexico.

drat, that indoctrination video makes some real salient points. If this is what Bioware intended (ha!), the ending wasn't even half-finished by ship date, making this the most incomplete game this side of KOTOR 2.
