Who Would You Let Die In Mass Effect 2?

[Cazza]

I killed Tali, Garrus, Mordin, Legion & Samara though careful planning.

Samara, her code made her a bad as the people she killed.

Legion, I didn't trust him.

Mordin, he talks to much and gets on my nerves

Garrus, "Hey, Commander, we got Garrus back! You know, he was always my favorite... with that pole up his ass... " - Joker. That exactly what I thought when I got him back.

Tali, I don't care for her personality or whats under that helmet.

Everyone else lived.

 

[Jfswift]

I never cared for Miranda much tbh.

 

[Brutal Peanut]

No one died in any of my campaigns, but I'd kill off Miranda in a heartbeat.

She's a complete waste of a character space, that could have probably gone to a really cool alien - with better voice acting.

 

[Uszi]

I sorta started to like everyone after exhausting all of their dialogue trees and doing their loyalty missions.

Jack is still my least favorite.

Anyway, my Lone Survivor/Ruthless Shep has a reputation for killing his whole team. So I'm trying to kill off as many people as I can and live to tell the tale. In most play-throughs though I try to save everyone.

 

[Mikeyfell]

None of them. Regardless of my personal feelings towards them, people deserve to live.

oh yeah?
see if you still feel the same after you try to talk to Miranda
couldn't kill that **** fast enough

right after I got the "get everyone out alive achievement I reloaded my save and made damn sure Miranda died

Talked to everyone, did their loyalty quests, made the right choices on personnel for the final mission, went in as soon as possible. I don't give a fuck what your attitude is like. You're on my ship, you're part of my crew, your ass will stay alive as long as possible. That's just how I roll.

I guess it makes sense to protect your assets
she was pretty useful because she's the only one who could use Warp and Overload
but every word she said just made me want to claw her eyes out

 

[Sinclair Solutions]

Miranda. I side with Jack on one goddamn fight and she snubs me for the rest of the goddamn game. Seriously, there was no way to win in that argument scenario. I JUST saved Miranda's sister, so I thought her loyalty would remain the same, but NO. She gets all bitchy, and now, checking the Mass Effect wiki, romance with her is out the question now. Christ. This game makes me feel so goddamn stupid.

 

[Lokithrsourcerer]

Miranda: Christ I hate her with a passion, in fact, I don't know why anyone would actually like the st-DAT ASS!

I hear that!

Although I'd say non but only because there is an achievement for them all surviving

 

[PatchlingZoon]

Samara, Grunt, and Jacob. Their characters were so flat it aggravated me.

 

[Skoldpadda]

Well, not that I did it on purpose, but Miranda died in my game, and I'm glad to be rid of her.

I think the thing that killed her was when I chose Jack's side in the ***** fight. I mean, sure, Jack's, well, Jack, but she had the right to be pissed. All she wanted was an apology from Cerberus for letting that cell destroy her life, and Miranda was a complete **** about it. Afterwards, she refused to speak to me for the rest of the game. Very professional. I'm glad she's dead, and I'm glad Jack survived. I'm using this savegame for ME3 because all is as it should be.

 

[Sniper Team 4]

If push came to shove, either Zaeed or Jack. Zaeed because, if you read his messages, he thinks the best retirement plan he's come up with is taking a ship and blowing himself up, so he'd probably volunteer. If he didn't, it would be Jack. She bothers me. I try to be nice to her, and she either snaps at me, or thinks I'm trying to get in her pants. No. I like Tali, and nothing you can say will change that.

 

[Kakashi on crack]

This is one thing that irks me. Everyone says Grunt is dumb, and that Wrex is better. What's better about Wrex? All he does is talk about how his race is doomed. He's an emo, made a promise to his father who he killed for breaking tradition, left his race to rot (initially), and his side quest was so meaningless it was ridiculous. And when he chose to point a gun at you on Virmire, I almost asked myself what the point was of letting this P.O.S. live. I did so because I could convince him, and thankfully he became more upbeat and awesome in the 2nd game.

Well that's the thing about Wrex, you have to look a little deeper than the cover. An emo is a stereotypical term that describes anyone who has a doom gloom teenage hormone driven attitude. Wrex's was more like a "screw it, I tried to help, but they F'd things up even more." kinda outlook. His reaction on Virmire was unrealistic, especially if playing as renegade shepard, but aside from that I saw him as more of the "old guy who still has some spark in him" rather than the "teenage hormone-driven menace to society" His side-quest had to do with honor, and tradition, while his personality felt that the Krogan needed to move past such notions. Its very much related to our modern-day societies in which we are in a constant struggle between tradition and change (having lost the value of honor a while back in most cases)

But the great thing about Grunt is that he's the best comic relief in the game, bar none. More times than not, he had his own unique input on every situation miles above the rest, and he was the only person to make me laugh every time. He's child like, impulsive, violent, and that's what makes him so unique from the rest of the cast.

And that would fit perfectly into the first game, but in a dark story, I'd prefer to leave out the comic relief personally. Or keep it more subtle.

Mass Effect 1 and 2 had their disadvantages, and advantages. I personally preferred ME 1 because they focused less on the "dark and story-driven" aspect and more on an "actiony yet story-driven" aspect.

When I saw the opening cutscenes for Mass Effect, I felt it was taking the classical sci-fi approach, while still being awsome in its own right.

But I digress from the topic. Point being, everyone has a right to their opinion, I simply dissagree with your outlook on Wrex.

 

[Nimcha]

I do not care much for Tali.

 

[V TheSystem V]

Jack or Jacob. Jack was just annoying (she cannot fight Miranda, she's Yvonne Strahovski!) and Jacob was a pretty bland character. Jack died on my first playthrough (as did Thane, I was well pissed) and all I could think about was the achievement I didn't get. When Thane died I was like 'OMG NO!'

 

[Je Suis Ubermonkey]

None of them. I love every squad member and they are all needed to stop the ReapASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL
WHAT I MEANT TO SAY IS THAT WE SHOULD KILL SHEPHERD AND EVERYONE HE HAS EVER SPOKEN WITH. LONG LIVE THE REAPERS, OUR NEW OVERLORDS.
ALSO EDEN PRIME WAS AN INSIDE JOB.
RELEASING CONTROL.
What the fuck....

Oh wow. I read that then looked straight to your avatar; such a perfect expression for that comment.

On topic: Jacob. I sent him through the pipe system knowing what would happen to him, and loving it. Seriously, if I'd had the option to kick him out the airlock at some point even my most holy of holy paragon Shepard would've done so.

 

[SCAFC Chimp]

If I had to let people die, it would be:
Jack, because she annoyed me, although her loyalty mission was really good.
Tali, because in the first game, all her dialog was "waa waa we created the Geth and they whipped our asses". It bugged me so much, and shes just not that interesting...the other Quarians are though, hope to see more of them in ME3
Grunt, because...well, he's no Wrex.
As long as Mordin, Thane, Legion and DAT ASS Garrus survive, it's all good.

 

[Bigsmith]

When I first played through?

Tali, Jack and Legion.

On my current run through I want Legion to stay alive. I really liked the idea behind it.

 

[FlyAwayAutumn]

Miranda.

She fucking dies even if I don't want her to! First she get's into a fight with Jack then I can't make her stop being a ***** and she ends up cheating me out of a PERFECT ending with NO ONE dieing she is the ONLY one who dies. At first I was like "Finally that ***** is dead" then I wanted to get the perfect ending and she keeps dieing, which only adds to my HATRED!

It fills me with rage of the Brooklyn variety.

 

[Gill Kaiser]

Third would probably be...well...actually, nevermind. Third, no one. Just Thane (uninspired dork) and Miranda (fairly attractive, but do all British-accented characters in video games these days need to be utter tossers? I've known many British-accented folks in my life and most of them were certainly not assholes; don't see why they all have to act like that in video games).

Miranda has Yvonne Strahovski's Australian accent. Australia is not part of Britain.

 

[badgersprite]

I like all the characters, to be quite honest. Even ones I didn't like at first grew on me by my second play through, either because of their combat prowess (Miranda) or because they turned out to be way more interesting and complex than what my first impression of them suggested (Mordin. Still sorry for judging you prematurely). So, yeah, I went out of my way to save everyone on the first play through.

However, to answer the topic question, if I had to pick and let one die, though, it would probably be Zaeed. It's what you get for not having a conversation wheel!

 

[GrizzlerBorno]

I lost Jack and Legion in my first playthrough. I felt sad for the Geth....not so much for the psycho.
