I'm curious what this is, but I don't want to do a whole playthrough of ME3 to find out; can someone spoil it for me?

She comes back as a some sort of Banshee-like creature calling out your name as she tries to kill you. Captured and mutated by the Reapers. :sigh:

Good times.

She's a phantom, not a banshee. Banshee's are the asari husks, phantoms are brainwashed biotic ninjas.

Yeah, Drifter's probably thinking of Morinth, who ends up like that if you let her live in ME2.

More importantly, you also find a tape of her being tortured by Cerberus until her mind is broken. It's pretty grim.

Jack also gets to watch her students either die or be subjected to the same Cerberus torture she got during childhood before she's broken into a mindless tool herself. It's basically everything they could think of to roll into Jack's worst nightmare.

Oh that does it.

1 - Don't upgrade the ship defense and see her die.

2 - Alter the save so she lives. Then send her into the ducts or something. Let her die again.

3 - Alter the save so she is alive in ME3 so I can hear those sweet sweet torture tapes.

That's assuming I can stomach playing 3 again.

I'm quite enjoying the ME3 LP. That's enough. Well, I was enjoying it. It got me to replay 1 and 2. But I'm done watching now because of reasons.

I don't know enemy types. :shrug:

They are all pretty much the same to me in terms of force-lifting them and then force-pushing them out of orbit or into walls.

Aren't banshees immune to those powers or something? I thought for sure they were.

Have you not been reading the last page of the thread? Search back for one of my last few posts here - I forget who asked the question.
He wanted to know what happened if you didn't rescue the Grisolm Academy.

We'll start,
like many good things,
with a bear.

It's been like two years since I finished ME3 and decided 'Welp I'm done with ME' but I was trying to remember. What did Cerberus actually say they wanted? It was to control the Reapers or some other flimsy excuse for "I'M INDOCTRINATED" right?

Yeah, basically. It was more 'what TIM wanted' though, Cerberus just followed his orders.

Also, play Citadel. I don't care how much you hated the ending (I can't tell you how many posts I made in the Spoiler Thread about my nerdrage against it), but Citadel is one of the greatest things I've ever played. It's the anti-ME3 ending. It's one of only two things I've outwardly claimed 'almost makes up for the ending' (the other being playable volus, because come on).

You know what always bothered me about Saren and I wish modders would fix it: why is he half Reaper right from the start? I feel like he was meant to change to that when Shepard comments on it, and be a normal Turian at the start of the game.

Maybe he's just already spent a whole lot of time with the reapers prior to you doing your thing.

He was supposed to be more normal at the beginning. BioWare ran out of time to do the un-Reaperized models.
