It was the right choice
What always pissed me off about the krogan is that they essentially had their birthrate nerfed down to be reasonable - comparable to a human. Sure, their success rate is 1 in 1000, but they lay about 1000 eggs per birth.
So what this means, is that he Krogan are mad they can't be suicidal assholes anymore lest their species go extinct. They deserve the genophage, and you'd be a fool to cure it. It's the right thing to do for everyone involved.
The krogan are only "doomed" because they're a bunch of fucking children.
>Personality and primary motivation flipflops 180 degrees in the space of six months when he sees a single female dindu which makes him instantly question not only his entire life's work but a thousand years of galactic history agreed upon by all the civilised races of the galaxy
no more bland food, weak bodies, or pointless consumerism.... truly, a paradise...
All he did was reduce the birthrate from several thousand fertile eggs per female to a couple dozen per year, of a species that can get a thousand years old nonetheless.
Honestly it seems impossible that the Korgans were even able to develop to a industrial civilization before wiping each other out considering the overpopulation they must have suffered.
I don't exactly blame him for doing this to the krogan who are pretty much just a ticking bomb and could set off to try and destroy everything in their sights because of their bloodlust.
They're better as scarce, powerful military units.
>If you want him to survive the series you have to kill off Wrex
>Having Wreav as the leader actually makes the third game have some conflict with curing the Krogans due to their leader being a blood thirsty warlord
Honestly picking Mordin made for a more intersting playthrough, sorry Wrex
>because they're a bunch of fucking children
That's the thing, though. They literally ARE children. They were culturally and technologically backwards when the Turians and Salarians found them - when Mordin said it was like giving nuclear weapons to cavemen, he wasn't exaggerating. If the Krogan had the benefit of another century or so to work out their natural aggression, they might have joined the galactic community with a more moderate, reasonable mindset.
>grand total of two Krogan aren't dicks
>genophage is a bad thing
No.
If they're dumb enough to die in droves they frankly deserve it.
>Convince him that he made the right call before and he realizes that he was acting rash and would have made a mistake into something even worse
feels good man
he did nothing wrong
>regulating the uncontrollable birthrate of a species of potential Chris Benoits
What's the issue?
Their birthrate is still fucked. All it'd take is a few dozen irresponsible mothers to completely fuck a planet and start the krogan wars all over again.

Worked into a shoot, brother
Everyone doesn't connect Andromeda to the others, user.
They also live for fucking millennia. That 'muh species is extinct so I might as well become a violent retard and die in a gang war in the ass-end of the galaxy' is a load of shit when you imagine how fucking long a thousand years is, and how many disciplines you could master if you devoted yourself to it. Even if you (generously) allow them a HUNDRED YEARS to figure out the genophage cure (that's EXTREMELY generous considering it took a single reject apprentice of Mordin's about two years to make one by himself with no resources) they could've cured it ten times over by now. I don't care if Salarians inherently learn faster than Krogan, they die at age 40. That's plenty of time for a Krogan doctor to catch up.
>If the Krogan had the benefit of another century or so to work out their natural aggression
They wouldn't have that time unless they had found their own method of birth control. Overpopulation would inevitably result in wars.
This. So much this. The Krogan are just as intelligent as any other race, they just choose to be the equivalent of fucking orcs.
Wrex.
Yeah, even with the genophage Krogans had better conditions to build a lasting civilization but instead they decided to chimp out and go full spacenigger.
All the genophage did was reduce their birthrate to a rate comparable to the asari.
I agree that the genophage was ok, but your reasoning isn't great.
Not even two. When you speak to Wrex on Earth he says he's going to conquer a dozen or so planets while the galaxy's still reeling from the Reapers and hope the council's grateful enough for their help to let them off the hook.
>murders the fat nigger lizard before he chimps out on her commander
Why does Sup Forums hate Ashley again?
Imagine a world without 75 iq ooga booga monkeys...
I don't, but it was a choice between a dime-a-dozen grunt (who has a track record of getting her squad killed) and a powerful and rare biotic with rank. I hope the Alliance sent her family a plaque or something.
back to your containment board.
>tfw just completed mass effect (the first one) 7 years after i last played it
It was so nice seeing the Normandy fly off and the ending credits appearing. It's a bit bittersweet to know whats a head of me now. Currently installing mass effect 2
here's a (You), try harder next time
>hurr durr back to Sup Forums
Don't even browse that shithole, but you should probably return to reddit with your ebin wrex maymays xDDD
No, that's fine. Really Kaidan would be the objective choice to save (depending maybe on how you divided the squad). It just seems that Sup Forums really tries to take a shit on Ashley when she was probably the most interesting character in ME1 and literally did nothing wrong.
Yes i sat through the entire credits listening to it. I did originally, when i completed mass effect 3 swear to never play mass effect again, as my shepard's journey had ended and had years between the adventures.
Fuck off you weak wristed faggot.
Mass Effect truly for the most part, was a fantastic series
Planning to replay the trilogy some time soon.
Is ME3 Ashley worth saving her on Virmire?
While I do like her as a character in ME, I never seem to have a reason to save her.
If I'm playing a male Shep, Kaiden is my best friend and an officer of a higher rank, so telling Ashley, a rank-and-file soldier, to sacrifice herself seems like a rational choice. You let her redeem her family name through a heroic act, you get to keep Kaiden as a bro for the rest of the trilogy, and you get to romance Liara, which just happenes to be the most-developed romance path in the entire trilogy.
And if I'm playing a female Shep, I just end up romancing Kaiden, and Ashley is, again, left without a purpose.
So I always kill her off on Virmire. Should I make Kaiden die this time around, or is ME3 Ashley not worth the effort?
On the same note, is it a good idea to purposely make important characters die, just to experience the story with their stand-ins? I mean, it seems like a lot of content, and I'd sort of want to see it, but then again, is it really worth it?
If only we could render IRL Krogans infertile
Think of Mass Effect 2 as the beach/hot springs/whatever episode of your favourite animu. It doesn't contribute a thing to the overarching plot of the series, but it's character-focused and comfy. Lots of interactions and development. Sup Forums loved it when it came out, to the point of having over 100 consecutive ME2 General threads, tons of OC and pic related. I think the reason it gets a bad rap nowadays is because ME3 retroactively soured people on the series and invited a more critical eye to the older entries. It's still a good game.
>I never seem to have a reason to save her
Just have her stay with/defend the bomb. It was dumb how they have you just chooses Kaidan or Ashley instead of picking a choice for the mission (defend bomb from saren or help salarians with saren)
Krogan are literally the niggers of the galaxy though.
I just finished my replay of ME1, i left her to die since on my first playthrough i let her live. Originally there was supposed to be a way to save them both, but it was cut out of development.
I agree with you. Honestly, i liked mass effect 3 up until its ending as well. Sure, it wasn't perfect but it was decent enough. I might use those fan fiction endings that's on the mass effect 3 nexus, but haven't decided yet. I'm looking forward to playing mass effect 2 again, and if i remember correctly the gameplay is an improvement too. Maybe i'll feel the improvement more considering i just finished the first game, rather than it being a long time before i started on number two the first time. The gameplay was the only real downside to ME1.
A better analogy would be if the onsen episode was actually 5 episodes of a 12 episode show and now to wrap up a long overarching plot you have lost 5 episodes to tie up lose ends. So the end is a complete mess because it's all rushed on top of having incompetent writers.
ME2 doesn't get near enough blowback for playing a major role in why ME3 was shit.
...
I legit don't remember the title change. Is that cap seriously real?
Talifags were horrible though, that much is certainly true. Their waifushit was all over the board.
It's real, I remember it clearly.
A replaythrough will really show the cracks under the surface in Bioware's storytelling. You're asking if ME3 Ashley contributes anything to the story, but what you don't realise is that Bioware didn't want to write two characters in ME2 and ME3, so she has almost the same lines as Kaiden. As for other important characters, it's the same thing; they have almost the same dialogue as their counterparts, but you're universally locked into the 'bad end' of their respective quests. For instance, if you let Tali die in the suicide mission in ME2, it's impossible to achieve peace between the Quarian and Geth in ME3. I wouldn't bother, unless there's some rare corner case you're interested in. Like saving Mordin, which is only possible by killing Wrex on Virmire in ME1, then destroying the cure in Mordin's loyalty mission in ME2, and finally sabotaging the cure (and passing a persuade check) in ME3. But that's a lot of work for something you could just look up on Youtube.
People liked it, but even at the time people pointed out how it basically spin its wheels plotwise.
But yes, ME3 going the path of Deus Ex Machina definitely made people more annoyed by how ME2 set up nothing to work with, even though ME3 would have been awful regardless.
Speaking of which, did any of you guys try playing the "modded" endings to mass effect 3? MEHIM or whatever it was called. It's on the top on the ME3 nexus. Maybe the ending isn't so bad if used in conjuction with it and just pretending it's the real one? Considering we aren't likely to get any resolution anyway.
If you plan to play as Maleshep, keep her. If you play as Femshep keep Kaidan because he's literally the only hetero relationship she can have and Kaidan is also surprisingly usefull in a ME3 squad.
>entire life's work
Mordin probably came up with the working genophage cure in a week, it takes him less time than that to figure out how to reverse it
Thanks, good answer. Very informative.
Agreed. A good answer. Thanks user
I'm honestly surprised to see such a comprehensive post on Sup Forums.
>we meet two Krogan scientists in the entire triology
>One is a sociopath who creates dozens and dozens of emotionless, unstoppable killing machines he lets roam free just so he can synthesize one "perfect" Krogan who still turns out to be a barely controllable lunatic
>The other's "lab" is a raised tarp outside over dirt and he just builds guns
They fucked over their own home planet. Krogan wouldn't have advanced they discovered nuclear weapons 1900 years before the Rachni wars.
It did set up plenty of stuff that could've been huge in the sequel (the Collector base, the dropped dark matter plotline on Haestrom, consequences from Shepard coming back to life such as an existential crisis, a Cerberus control chip forcing him to betray the Alliance at a critical moment, or whatever) but unfortunately Mac the Hack decided we wanted the nonsense deus ex machina instead.
Alright, bad thing. That was easy.
Anti-natalism taken far enough to sterilize yourself is the very height of "le liberal 56% male" faggotry and just about the only thing i'd agree with Sup Forums-types qualifies under "soyboy" territory.
Right, they'd have just continued to slaughter each other over nothing at all on a planet that was inhospitable and infested with thresher maws even before it was nuked. Uplifting the Krogan didn't doom them, it just fast forwarded the inevitable.

This guy's videoes are quite interesting
Mass Effect 3 doesn't count.
I liked it when Garrus finds out you saved Mordin and bamboozled the Krogan. "lol, u sneaky shit" is basically his response.
