Bad decision.

Good question! I'd have to say all of them. When confronting this either/or decisions, I wonder if there is a right answer or not. I found myself confronted with making choices I'd rather not make, which I suppose is why the devs put them there. Early in the game, I made decisions based on how I thought the game wanted me to respond. Later game, I made them how I would in real life. Sure wish I had warning before confronted with those major decisions so I could save the game first, then see how each answer would play out, especially the times I forgot the backstory of the characters. As in when the renegade scientist on Voeld is experimenting with the Angaran Holy fishes, can't remember the name of them. You had the choice between allowing the scientist to continue work which she assures will be of great benefit or shut it down out of respect for their belief system. I chose to allow her to continue work because she said the Angaran would ultimately come around to her way of thinking. Unfortunately, after I chose that, Jaal responded with it being a bad choice. Unfair! Before I make the choice he says he can't help with the decision since he doesn't know which way to go. |

Not saving the Salarians and the Salarian Pathfinder. But then again, I didn't agree with the results of choosing to save the Krogan scouts... Saving a Pathfinder should have been a higher priority with better consequences on-board with Drax and the Salarians even if... you save the Salarians and Salarian Pathfinder, you end up with fighting the Krogan Behemoths... Save the Krogans and you make it easier later because you don't have to deal with the Behemoths. But Drax and the Krogans already have a well established colony; you're saving the Salarian Ark and Pathfinder I think a better scenario would have been a three way choice between saving the Salarian Pathfinder, just the Salarians or just the Krogans or even a way to save two out of three. Drax's response should have been better written if you save the Pathfinder. |

Sacrificing Raeka, killing everyone in The Firefighters (not being able to kill Alain  ), lying to Scott about Alec, exiling Spender (while I think he deserved it, it doesn't really fit my Ryder who didn't want to simply write off the exiles in the first place. I reloaded and opted for prison). Admittedly, Sacrificing Raeka is the decision I regret the least. I rather like the theme of the old Pathfinders dying and being replaced. |

MEA is as flat as a pancake when it comes to decisions. In that regard, it is hardly a family of other Bioware games.

I don't regret any decisions yet, mainly because there are no real consequences. Hopefully in DLC or MEA2 we will see some impact from our choices.

Funny thing about that is that most decisions, at least major ones, at least have an immediate consequence that someone or a number of people die immediately. |

Not talking to Sara while in her coma. (doing a critical path playthrough). Bad decision. What are the consequences of not talking to Sara during her coma? Regret: Killing the Firefighters the first time I encountered the quest, because I couldn't figure out what to do that first time. I reloaded though, so that I could NOT kill them in that first game (or any later games). |

If you speak to Alain, it provides you the path for the peaceful option, but it unfortunately requires a bit of traveling, since you need to get to a research center to craft the special item for him. |

Funny thing about that is that most decisions, at least major ones, at least have an immediate consequence that someone or a number of people die immediately. Yeah but if someone is dying no matter what choice you pick what does it matter? For instance the Raeka/Krogan choice, if you go with the pathfinder Drack gets mad. That's about it though. If you go with the scouts Drack is happy, nothing else is really affected, and the new Salarian pathfinder carries on. Which is why I wonder if in the next game maybe there will be a consequence to choosing one over the other, because in THIS game...there really isn't. One group dies or the other does. |

That's not necessarily the case for all decisions though. Some simply die as a result of you choosing them to, when otherwise you could simply end the mission with everyone surviving. In the case of Drack's scouts, the final result of that decision, should you choose to save Raeka is that: his scouts are turned into more of the behemoths like the one we fought on the flagship.
In the Firefighters, you can choose to wipe everyone out or take the steps to peaceful surrender. |

Hayjer's specialty/goal is to research exaltation hopefully to the point of being able to reverse/prevent it. Raeka's specialty is terraforming. With Meridian active and the vaults working, I think Hayjer's research will be more valuable later on. Whether it comes into play or not is another question. Maybe something along the line of saving or destroying Maelon's data?

Killing the Firefighters. I tried to go the peaceful way but I botched it and they attacked. I was hoping I could at least prevent Nigh from getting killed.
And I couldn't stand Raeka. Suddenly there's a female salarian soldier/STG operative? Don't buy it. Go away and take your squeaky voice with you. Hayjer seems far more capable and has better goals. Saving the krogan scouts gets you better intel from a RP standpoint as opposed to a few more salarians when you already have their ark. Not saving them really pisses Drack off and it feels bad.

Don't think I've really regretted much of any decision I've made. Besides, I can always either reload or do another pt to allow for a different choice. The choices don't generally feel as powerful as they did with Paragon/Renegade.

Not regretting anything.
Though, on my 1st PT I accidentaly romanced Peebee and did not reload an older to save because I thought "ah well, lets see how this ends"... bad idea actualy.

Honestly my romance choice. I wanted Cora but she isn't into girls, so then I dithered for ages between Jaal, PB and Vetra. Finally went for Vetra and whaddya know? I went and picked the one with the least content and it was all rather underwhelming.  My hardest mission choices were the whole Overlord/Knight thing and Raeka vs the krogan. I went back to redo both and I still wonder about my choices there. I also supported Sloane which took quite a big of headcannoning to justify to myself. |

There are a couple that made me feel bad, which isn't quite the same as regretting them. Telling the angaran astronomer the truth, and who I went with on Kadara I let Sloane Kelly get shot . I don't regret leaving Raeka (it isn't leaving the entire salarian ark) one person dies stopping several having a worse fate, that's a reasonable decision IMO and whilst pathfinders are useful nothing ever paints them as so unique that there's unlikely to be someone else willing to step up to the role. Come to think of it that means at the end of the game not one original pathfinder was alive |

I haven't really regretted anything yet but since I will play the game so many times I will make every decision at least once probably. First play-through I let the asari "doctor" keep the drug formula.  that was a bad decision at least. |

Give it time. I'm sure something will pop up. OT, I've done 3 play throughs so I actually decided to make several decisions I regret. Salarian Pathfinder choice, keeping the drive core, taking Anea's deal, talking Tavitus out of the PF role...there's been several to make, all of which had me grimacing when I made them. |
