Doesn't Legion end up as a miniboss if you send his body to Cerberus in ME2?

NutritiousSnack posted:This is why he's my favorite character. He's just loving inept and powerless compared to Shepard despite trying so hard to be a badass. He is literally a basement dwelling weeaboo trying to fight a hardened badass. But a weeaboo is a non-asian person obsessed with asian pop culture. It would be a hilarious backstory if it turned out Kai Leng is the Cerberus equivalent of that Shep fanboy and had some augmentation to change his race from white to an asian ninja so he could join Cerberus as a hitman.

oxford_town posted:Something I enjoyed about Mass Effect 3: once you "confirm" your love interest, anyone else you were stringing along up to that point gets the message off-screen and is completely fine with being just friends. Actually, they don't, not necessarily. I romanced Liara in ME1 and Miranda in ME2. I got the choice with Liara, and I went with her for ME3. But then later I got Miranda's first email to meet on the Citadel, and she asks basically the same thing Liara did. I told her that things had changed, and it just crushes her. She makes a fairly quick excuse why she has to leave this very instant while trying to hide the fact that she's very visibly crying.

For a while I thought he was going to be a shepherd clone they had brain washed into believing he was a Cerberus assassin which explained his desire to beat you to prove he was better than the original but no, not that clever.

Speaking of Conrad, he had one of the best scenes in the game with the whole "slowmotion comedy jump" AND he walked away with a girl

The renegade action alone at the end of the fight makes putting Kai Leng in the game worth it.

Lady Gaga posted:My Legion died because I couldn't convince the Quarians to back off so I had to choose between the Quarians and the Geth. I chose the Quarians because Tali is my BFF. Legion attacks Shepard, choking her, and Shepard or Tali shoots Legion. Legion dies asking, "Does this unit have a soul?" and Tali says "Yes." I was playing renegade, and I never cared for Tali, so I sided with Legion and let her jump off a cliff. Then Legion sacrificed himself. Is convincing the Quarians to back off part of the paragon game, or is there some kind of prerequisite from ME1 or ME2 that will unlock the "Everybody Lives!" option? And now I want to mod Mass Effect into a Doctor Who game....

I had the option to continue things with Ashley (my LI in 1), so I took all the positive dialogue options whilst she was in the hospital. I then met with Jack, agreed to continue things with her, and got the Paramour achievement. But Ashley never took me up on the sweet, sweet lies I had fed her earlier in the game, and the game treated us as just friends from then on despite that fact that she should really think that Shep is still interested.

Dr. Abysmal posted:I never triggered a single piece of dialog by walking past them for the entire game. They just stood there in silence, it made me wonder what the point of them even being there was. Oh man that's a shame. Some of their dialogue is hilarious and if you encourage Kenneth to be honest about his feelings towards Gabby you can eventually walk in on them canoodling in the lower decks of engineering.

Replace Kai Leng with a phantom who has a heavier dose of the standard black/gold Cerberus colors and take out all dialog. You can talk at it, but it never says a word. Congratulations, you now have a better character than Kai Leng.

Preechr posted:Didn't Conrad have a wife, or was that some poo poo he made up to sound like he wasn't a total fuckup? He didn't have a wife. He made that up. There's actually an extensive amount of dialogue with Conrad that a lot of people miss. Probably because once you do a certain quest he disappears. Which is a shame because in my opinion it's some of the funniest dialogue in the game. VVV Edit: Yeah you need to talk to him before he saves you. There's a large amount of dialogue and he can also become a War asset. Axialbloom fucked around with this message at Mar 14, 2012 around 20:37 |

The implication is she wanted rid of him. I doubt she was there when he got back. edit: ^^^ wait, what? He disappeared on me as soon as he appeared on the Citadel. "Saved" me and then poof!

Someone had a flow chart posted in the other thread but it basically comes down to having fulfilled a certain number of options. If they're done then at the point that legion is almost done uploading you'll get a paragon and a renegade option which basically involves shepard yelling at the quarians to stop being idiots.

Oh for gently caress's sake, he had a katana. It would be hilarious if after killing him Shepard unmasked him and it turned out he was a grossly fat white man pressed into a muscle suit by mass effect fields.

Heh, maybe his wife is the one talking to her Asari mistress right outside the elevator on the Presidium Commons. Regarding the Quarians, in ME2 I thought Koris was a whining pussy and Gerrel was sympathetic, but misguided. Once I got to the Quarians in ME3, I found that Koris was actually an alright guy, and Gerrel was a total dick. Not bothered by it, just interesting.

Drighton posted:I was playing renegade, and I never cared for Tali, so I sided with Legion and let her jump off a cliff. Then Legion sacrificed himself. There is definitely a renegade option to make the Quarians back down. It may be tied to ME1 or ME2 actions, though. What I got was that I got forced into making a choice between Geth or Quarian. Forced to choose, I chose Quarian. Legion pleads with you, at which point you're offered a second dialogue wheel. You can confirm what you just selected, but now there are Renegade/Paragon actions of [Rally the Fleet] (Paragon) and [Warn the Fleet] (Renegade). Warn the Fleet has Shepard basically change his mind and tell Legion to begin the upload. Then he calls the Admirals and tells them that the Geth are returning to full strength in 30 seconds, and if they don't want to be obliterated, they have to turn back now. He goes on to further give them a big angry speech about how hosed up their command is, and that if they continue charging into certain doom, Shepard will watch with glee as the Geth destroy them completely. The Quarians back down after that.

So did anyone else allow Legion to upload the knowledge of the Reapers as he died and allow the entire Quarian race to be destroyed by the Geth? Because really those loving assholes had it coming. I also watched Admiral Ran get really pissed at me for allowing it and shoot herself in the head.
