So, i just finished my second play through of mass effect 2, i know it's not nearly as much as most people but i work and go to school, so it's astounding i had the time for this given the length of the game.
Anyways, i was playing a chaotic good character, (For some reason my morality's always align with old D&D morality.) So he was a badass, but for the ultimate good type. The effective anti-hero. Infiltrator, and wrecking the entire galaxy with the m-92 widow (i think that's what it's called, the amazing sniper you get in collector base). So i did every loyalty mission, only person i lost it with was jack, i at the time didn't have the reputation to dissuade both sides and went with Miranda, in my first play through i went with jack. So, jack lost her loyalty to me, which basically spelt out right off the bat, "your losing her in the final mission". I accepted that.
But when i got to the mission. I had this setup through the choices. First specialist (the pipe crawler one) was Kasumi, she's a thief and master infiltrator, seemed perfect to get it done, and live. Then having Garrus lead the fire team ,again, good leader, strong guy, good choice. Everyone lived that. No problems, kept going, right on.
Second instance, my specialist (the force field against the swarm one) was Samara, because she's just awesome but i never used her, so i decided to give her a chance. Then having zaeed lead the second fire team, it said diversion this time, figured why not let the deadly and efficient battle type mate go on with leading that, so i gave it to em. Then since i saved the crew, let grunt take them all back. Because under his big scaly aggression, laid a sweet caring shit, kinda like a crass grandpa that was in the war, he loves you, just won't show it.
So, how did that work out? Samara lived, still awesome. Grunt lived as did all the crew. But for some random reason, zaeed caught a bullet when he came storming in through the door. I was confused...i did his loyalty, gave him a position he could handle. Seemed weird, so he was my first casualty. Acceptable, never really liked the prick anyways.
Onto the final boss battle, alright. Mordin (my personal favorite no matter what) and Garrus, because he's cool. (No, i don't even pick my team for tactical reasons, i just pick who i like. I'm more of a single player even in a single player game type. Hate team members, so i do everything myself. preferably. But i still can get attached to characters.
So We went off, beat the tits off the human reaper, right on. whoo hoo, battle was amazingly easy with the assassins cloak and heavy sniper rifle. plus all upgrades. few shots with collector laser after a clip of the sniper and he was done. Then, as the camera flashed through the battle of those holding the door back before us, Jack and Tali are dead. Again, Game? what did i do to you, tali was cute. Why kill her? that's just...mean man. Jack, yea alright your death was expected. But Tali? doesn't even make sense.
Either way, that's the tale of my causality's in my recent mass effect 2 play through, preparing for mass effect 3. What about you folks?
