    SPOILERS....DUH!

    Got/stole this idea blatantly from Kotaku :P

    http://kotaku.com/5463816/so-how-did-mass-effect-2-end-for-you

    Just thought I'd bring it over here, bit of fun!

    So...

    I Knocked Boots With...

    Jack first, as she was easier! My mentality was, 50 Gamerscore with less work!.
    Then that didn't give me the achievement so i then proceeded to rock Miranda's world.

    I'll Mourn The Passing Of...

    Tali...I hate her the most of all the team so i sent her through the vents as it sounded like a suicide mission, her face made friends with a rocket while closing the door under fire.

    Can We Keep It?

    No, I'll be damned if I was giving the Illusive Man any more power.

    Did I Make It?

    In one piece.

    And The Illusive Man?

    I'm pretty sure he wants to kill me, but the feeling is mutual.

    What Happens Next?

    Time to play as my other ME1 character, where Wrex is alive, and the Council survived the Citadel attack, also I'm purposely going to go through the Omega 4 Relay with none of my team loyal, see if they all die.

    I Knocked Boots With...

    Miranda, Jack's a bit too psycho and Kelly seemed no challenge. Next Paragon playthrough, I'm gonna stay faithful to Liara.

    I'll Mourn The Passing Of...

    No one, everyone lived.

    Can We Keep It?

    Not a chance, that's clearly the evil choice. And they blew up the first Normandy, so payback was necessary.

    Did I Make It?


    Yep.

    And The Illusive Man?

    Not friends anymore.

    What Happens Next?

    Gonna play through as my Renegade character from ME1, where I did all the bad things (like killing Wrex, cut deals with criminals, let the Council die and generally pushed for human supremacy. Then one more playthough as a Paragon, being lovely again.

    Miranda, because Yvonne Strahovski is a total fox and it's probably as close as I'm going to get.

    I'll Mourn The Passing Of...

    Jacob, serves him right for sticking his noggin out the door where all the gunfire was coming from.
    Dr.Chakwas and the survivors. Damn, Kelly was such a tease!
    Mordin, don't worry buddy, I'll do your loyalty mission on my next playthrough.
    Forgot about Jack, she led my second assault team.

    Can We Keep It?

    Yeah sure why not, seems like it might be useful and making Cerberus stronger couldn't possibly be bad, right?

    Did I Make It?


    Yes, I'm far too important and attractive to die.

    And The Illusive Man?


    I'm pretty sure his chain smoking and scotch drinking will finish him off by itself.

    What Happens Next?

    Imported female Shepard, going to play as a Paragon soldier, do all the loyalty missions and side missions. I left a few incomplete the first time so I would have some new moments on the second playthrough. Looking forward to it but need a break, first playthrough came in at 25 hours.

    I Knocked Boots With...

    Miranda...Why settle for less you can have the best, Tali or Jack, pass!!!

    I'll Mourn The Passing Of...

    All Survived, the mission would have been more exciting if they were dropping like flies, I think there should have been one or two deaths, that should have been unavoidable to make it more tense.

    Can We Keep It?

    No, Blew it up, I figure Cerberus were gonna turn on me at some point in ME2 or ME3, so better get the knife in first.

    Did I Make It?

    Ya, it was never in doubt really.

    And The Illusive Man?

    Line up him up with the Reapers on my To Kill List.

    What Happens Next?

    Renegade Insanity Playthrough.
    Might do Jack or Tali or Kelly this time just to see the scene.
    Not going to do any loyalty missions or upgrade the Normandy, gonna perish on the final mission.

    I Knocked Boots With...

    Miranda, because I love 'Chuck' and Yvonne Strahovski is gorgeous. I'd nail her to the ground.

    I'll Mourn The Passing Of...

    Zaaed. I was doing the Paragon first playthrough so during his loyalty mission, I chose to save the people. His nemisis got away so his loyalty was only normal. I wasn't sure how the endgame would go and whether betrayals were possible so when it came time to escort the doctor out, I picked him so he'd be out of my hair.

    Also, the rest of the non-squad crew, besides the doctor, were killed as I did more than one mission after getting attacked.

    Can We Keep It?

    Nope, blew that fncker up!

    Did I Make It?

    Yes, by my finger tips but I got there.

    And The Illusive Man?

    He's pissed off.

    What Happens Next?

    Currently in the middle of my second playthrough, have gone with a brand new, female character. Playing a Renegade campaign this time and I want to get the No One Left Behind achievement.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,736 ✭✭✭OctavarIan


    I Knocked Boots With...

    Renegade sex with Jack, then I sided with Miranda in the fight to get into her genetically perfect pants as well.

    I'll Mourn The Passing Of...

    Mordin who died randomly in a cutscene at the end, think I took too long to kill the human reaper. Jack was killed by a laser, no regrets there she was useless to me. Legion was killed after going through the vents but again no regrets.

    Can We Keep It?

    No, it wouldn't be good sci-fi if something didn't blow up at the end!

    Did I Make It?

    Come on, it wasn't that far a jump. Of course.

    And The Illusive Man?

    I got what I needed from him so told him to politely eff off.

    What Happens Next?

    ME2 will be going back to Xtravision because it was only a rental :p
    I don't regret any of my decisions in 1 or 2 so nothing to do but wait until ME3.

    I Knocked Boots With...

    No one.... Played through with my female character from ME1... didn't want to have sex with a man... Kelly was interested but only had dinner in my cabin with me.


    I'll Mourn The Passing Of...


    Thane, went through the ducts... was loyal... but still got shot in the head.
    Garus (also loyal) got taken away by locusts... that pissed me off.
    And Jack got killed leading the second team.

    Can We Keep It?

    I kept it.

    Did I Make It?

    Yep... still alive and kicking.

    And The Illusive Man?

    He seems cool... stared ominously at a holo of the collector station at the end though.

    What Happens Next?

    Will go back to ME1 and finish playing through with my male character and then go through ME2 with him at some stage.

    I Knocked Boots With...

    jack, im not very smooth with the ladys she was easy haha

    I'll Mourn The Passing Of...


    tali and miranda if they refuse to have sex i send them on a suicide mission

    Can We Keep It?
    oh yes we can, the humans need all the power they can get.

    Did I Make It?

    oh yeah baby!

    And The Illusive Man?

    im his bitch haha, no really were cool.

    What Happens Next?

    its time for me to get some sunlight, shave my beard and meet up with my friends for the first time in quite a while haha


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman


    I Knocked Boots With...

    Miranda... If I'd known you could go for more than one, I would've laid on way more sleaze with Jack!

    I'll Mourn The Passing Of...

    None of them, on my first attempt too which I'm quite proud of.

    Can We Keep It?

    No way, don't trust those Cerberus bastards in the slightest!

    Did I Make It?

    Yep

    And The Illusive Man?

    Told him where to shove it!:)

    What Happens Next?

    Started a second playthrough with a new female character to mop up a few more easy achievements, then I'll start my insane playthrough (which I doubt I'll bother seeing through tbh)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,464 ✭✭✭ibFoxer


    I Knocked Boots With...

    Miranda... Seems like thats what the game wants you to do.....

    I'll Mourn The Passing Of...

    Nobody, although i nearly sh!t myself at one point when the doors were closing and Miranda got tagged!!

    Can We Keep It?
    Um, no, i blew that ship/base/yoke to collector heaven

    Did I Make It?

    Aha, home in one piece

    And The Illusive Man?

    Is a prat and obviously a relative of the x files cancer man. Thanks for the ship and the hottness that is Miranda though :)

    What Happens Next?

    First, level 30. Then new game, Renegade style, no loyalty missions, no upgrades. Should be fun.

    Im curious though, i did basically the same as a mate of mine except to change a few characters in certain situations and we both survived complete. Another friend did the exact same and he lost several of the team. Is it based on speed or just a certain combination of events and characters?

    Ha ha ha same here I reloaded after Thane got tagged the 1st time, so went with Garrus the 2nd time, thought he was brown bread after he held his stomach after comming through the doors :D

    Is the Illusive Man even human? he seems to not have human eyes.

    Knocked boots with Tali just to see her face, which after all that we don't get to see :mad:

    :

    He has the same eyes as Shepard, which are a red version when he turns renegade. So they must be cybernetic ones.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,241 ✭✭✭Vic Vinegar


    I Knocked Boots With...

    Miranda. No other viable option for me.

    I'll Mourn The Passing Of...

    I got all the major players through it. Doctor whatserface died though.

    Can We Keep It?

    Yes, might come back to bite me though!

    Did I Make It?

    I did

    And The Illusive Man?

    Who knows? seemed amiable enough.

    What Happens Next?

    I'm going to leave it a while and play again on Insane when there's some DLC out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,911 ✭✭✭Grumpypants


    Shepard male :

    I Knocked Boots With...

    No one !! Couldnt even convince the sex serial killer :(.

    I'll Mourn The Passing Of...

    Where do i start lost the assassin the geth and jack in the final assault

    Can We Keep It?

    Of course i kept it done everything else wrong !!

    Did I Make It?

    I did

    And The Illusive Man?

    up to no good

    What Happens Next?

    I'm going back to try and trick one of the girls into bed.


    As shepard female :

    Reversed Normandy into a pillar and started crying.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,644 ✭✭✭Asmodean


    Knocked Boots With...

    Miranda for me also. Fairly pissed Jack off to the point where she kept telling me to **** off whenever I went near her. Whoops

    I'll Mourn The Passing Of...

    Poor Tali, rocket in the face. Zaeed died holding off an advancing group of Collectors, caught one in the chest but it was a fairly epic death ( I knew he'd die a hero at some stage after I kept selecting him to command my secondary teams ) Chambers died in the pod for me but the rest of the crew survived. Jack died too, just saw her lying there fairly pathetically during one of the final cut-scenes.

    Can We Keep It?

    Definitely not. Although I will admit my thumb tended to tremble toward the other option for a few seconds before deciding as I was thinking about the power of possibly having a reaper on humanitys side.

    Did I Make It?


    Oh yes ( didn't think he was going to make that jump into the Normandy at one point though )

    And The Illusive Man?

    Oh definitely not a new BFF anyway. Fairly threatning the way he's just sitting there at the end ( all too calmly I might add! ) weighting up his options.

    What Happens Next?

    Play through as a total renegade and just f**k **** up, try and keep my team alive and probably play as another class to mop up a few achievements.
    I find it amazing though that this game would completely warrant another play-through of ME1 just to make some other decisions there also. Going mad that on both my ME1 renegade and paragon save files I let the council die on both occasions. Doh!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,174 ✭✭✭✭Captain Chaos


    I Knocked Boots With...

    Miranda, she's a cold bitch to start out with but then you get to know her. Very handy with the SMG and the accent just tops it off.

    I'll Mourn The Passing Of...

    Jack, I lost her loyalty when I broke up the fight with her and Miranda. I kept her on my team all the way to look after her but a giant slab of metal crushed her.

    Can We Keep It?

    Nope, blew the crap out it.

    Did I Make It?


    No doubt.

    And The Illusive Man?

    Not a happy camper at all, took my new body, new shiny ship, two of his officers, blew up his new toy and fecked off into the galaxy.:D

    What Happens Next?

    Import a new character, with Wrex alive and I'll stay with Liara after all the trouble she went through to track me down over the 2 years. And keep my full team alive for the final mission.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,661 ✭✭✭✭Helix


    with me turning it off in disgust, not being able to take any more


  • Registered Users Posts: 150 ✭✭#Daniel


    I Knocked Boots With...

    Jack! I thoght all hope was lost as I started the cutscene for the suicide mission, as she was a moody cow, but she walks into my room.


    I'll Mourn The Passing Of...

    Miranda. And I for one am glad as she caused me nothing but grief. I didnt max out paragon or renegade, I like to choose what I feel is right in the given situation. Actually a little disappointed since the game more or less punishes you for not doing so. Lost her loyalty after her and Jack had a cat fight and was unable to get it back. I guess thats why she died. But then again I never liked the character anyway so I'm not too bothered, I liked the rest of my posse so all is well.

    Can We Keep It?

    Nope, never trusted The wonderful man or whatever his name is at any point.

    Did I Make It?

    Yep.

    And The Illusive Man?

    Told him where to go.

    What Happens Next?


    Might do a second playthrough if I have time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,618 ✭✭✭Mr Freeze


    2nd Playthrough on Insane as Renegade, and No ship upgrades, and only Miranda and Jacob loyal. Hoping for the ending where noone makes it.

    I Knocked Boots With...

    Miranda again.

    I'll Mourn The Passing Of...

    Thane, Legion, Jack all killed due to no Normandy upgrades, they were all killed before landing on the Collector Base.

    Tali, Garrus, Jacob, Samara, Mordin, and Kelly Chambers, all died on the base.

    Can We Keep It?

    Nah, Blew it up again.

    Did I Make It?

    Surprisingly Yes. I thought that if both teammates die after the Reaper fight, that there is noone to pull you up into the Normandy at the end. But Grunt appeared and pulled Shepard on board.

    And The Illusive Man?

    Told him to stick it again.

    What Happens Next?

    Wait for more DLC, and I saved my Renegade playthough right after before getting the IFF. So will go back and do all the loyalty missions, and use that as a save to import into ME3.

    Male Shepherd:

    I Knocked Boots With...

    Miranda. The black suit did it.

    I'll Mourn The Passing Of...

    Jack - Couldn't convince the bitch to come around after her falling out with Miranda.

    Can We Keep It?

    Kablaam. Dust.

    Did I Make It?

    I did indeed with Miranda dragging me in. She needs it too much.

    And The Illusive Man?

    We had a tiff.

    What Happens Next?

    Straight back in on Hardcore (building up to Insanity) as a new character Sentinel. Just rescued Jack and am about to get the Krogan.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,976 ✭✭✭✭humanji


    I Knocked Boots With...

    No one. I was playing a Paragon and thought that, keeping in character, Ashley would make an appearance later in the game and we'd be getting it on. Alas, it wasn't to be.

    I'll Mourn The Passing Of...

    Thane. Which I thought was fitting since he was dying anyway, he'd of wanted to die in battle. I'm actually quite surprised that you could lose most of your team like others have.

    Can We Keep It?

    Nah, it creeps me out.

    Did I Make It?

    Can you die at the end?

    And The Illusive Man?

    Who cares? I'm Commander Shepherd. I kick ass!

    What Happens Next?


    I finished off the last side misison I had, explored the last star system and turned it off because there was nothing else to do.

    Miranda. Who wouldn't fall for that Aussie accent. Although I must of heard 'I'll be over when things are quiet' line like 20 times in my attempts to speed **** up.

    I'll Mourn The Passing Of...
    Nobody. All were loyal, fully Paragon (which meant Jack and Miranda were both on my side after their little fight) Tali was obviously the choice for the pipe, as was Garrus for second command. They'll all live to fight in ME3.

    Can We Keep It?
    Nope. Boom boom time.

    Did I Make It?
    Like, totally.

    And The Illusive Man?
    I don't like anyone who remains that Illusive. He shall remain in his little space condo, staring at supernovas or whatever.

    What Happens Next?
    No idea, but I ****ing hope I don't have to recruit everyone again.

    I Knocked Boots With...
    Miranda as well. I mean, Yvonne Strahovski? :o Although why she wanted to bang me in the engine room when i have a perfectly good bed upstairs i'll never know. I'll never complain either though :P

    I'll Mourn The Passing Of...
    No one. Garius led both fire teams, and Legion went down the pipe. 1 of the Normandy crew got disolved, but he was a nameless guy so whatever. Kelly and the Doc were fine after Jacod led them back to the ship. I also picked Samara as the Biotic expert. I was worried when Garius seemed to take a bullet in the gut, and when Miranda nearly fell off a platform at the end, but they both survived.

    Can We Keep It?
    And miss out on a sweet explosion? No way! Plus, loved the bit when the Collecter leader was released by the Reaper, only to look around with a 'ahh for **** sake' at approaching fireball.

    Did I Make It?
    Please, i'm Commander Sheppard. Nothing can kill me. Geth? Bring it one. Asari Matriarch's? Try me. Reapers? pft :P

    And The Illusive Man?
    I told him that he's working for me now, and to shut the hell up. He wasnt happy, but what do i care? I took what i wanted from him (Miranda and the Normandy), and got out alive.

    What Happens Next?
    Back to the Captains Quarters for some lovin with Miranda. Then fly my ship about looking badass.

    I'll Mourn The Passing Of...

    Garius Samara, Mordin and Zaeed.

    Walked away without a scratch on me. Apart from my hideous face.

    I Knocked Boots With...

    Jack. Thought she was the most interesting character. Although now that im finished the game she still says she has to think about our relationship??

    I'll Mourn The Passing Of...

    Tali. Never really liked her and was a bit weirded out when she started hitting on me. Plus I thought she would be the best person for the vent job, still don't trust Legion. Dodgy geth. Oh and the doc and stuff. Figured I couldnt spare anyone to escort them.

    Can We Keep It?

    Yeah, anything that helps against the reapers right... right?

    Did I Make It?

    Yeah I did. Cant remember who dragged me in.

    And The Illusive Man?

    He seemed happy.

    What Happens Next?


    Not sure. Going to play for a bit longer but my scans of worlds never bring up anything. Annoying.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,776 ✭✭✭Noopti


    I Knocked Boots With...

    Miranda. Although it would have been hilarious to have tried to get Tali into the sack. The videos of it online are hilarious....and a little creepy

    I'll Mourn The Passing Of...

    Thane. Even thought I really like him, he was dying, so I sent him through the ducts. I'm pretty sure I read a log or something during the game which mentioned a possible cure for his condition, so starting to regret getting him killed.

    Legion. Killed by the swarm, which annoyed me as I was only getting to know "him" and was one of the more interesting developments during the game

    Jack. Just showed her dead at the end. Not sure why she was chosen to die.

    Can We Keep It?

    Not a chance.

    Did I Make It?

    Yep, Miranda saved my arse

    And The Illusive Man?

    Not a happy camper

    What Happens Next?
    No idea, lot of other games to get through.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,523 ✭✭✭joe123


    Can anyone tell me why Mordin died during the final mission? Jack was the only one that wasnt loyal (she died) everyone else survived.

    Also when you replay the game do you have to import your ME2 character to get the bonus XP and will you be able to change your class etc or can I just start a new ME2 character and still have the extra XP.

    If you sent him on a task he was not designed for a character will die regardless of loyality. Did you send him in the vent? You should task Tali with that.

    You have to import your existing character to carry on to level 30. No you can't change class you can only do that when starting a new game fresh and when importing an existing ME1 character.
