Not curing the Genophage: The reason you're a heartless monster.

Y'know, i don't mind curing it..


But you're turning me against it with those pics

Just look at the little drunk one next to Wrex's feet. Doesn't he deserve to grow  up and decide his own future? Why would you destroy his naked dreams, straykat?

They'd all end up as mass murderers anyway...

I did have a large and a detailed argument here but my internet cut out and I lost the whole thing, after I lost the one before that.

Now I'm mad so here's a

'Too long didn't write.'

I've yet to see an effective argument made against wiping out the other races. It's just assumed to be a bad thing.

*Sips Ryncol*

Well, getting his family armor back goes a really long way in his allegiance to you.  


I did have Ashley shoot him once, and hated it.

Just have her killed on the beam run if your ems is below 2000

The biggest problem with the Krogan is how they were written.

A species that lives incredibly long and can have up to 1000 children at a time? That's not just war like, they wouldn't even make it as far as developing nukes to destroy their own planet because they'd have overrun the place long before that.

It's simply not a model that's sustainable for a species. Not even on a galactic scale. They'll just keep overrunning any planets they have.

Although in the context of Mass Effect 3, you basically need the Krogan. It would be stupid to go to war against the Reapers without the best frontline troops in the galaxy.

and in the event you get into a long war against the Reapers, the Krogan's weakness for being a sustainable species actually becomes their strength. They can rebuild their populations extremely quickly. To that end, you would also want the Geth on your side because they can be mass produced.

Then we worry about post-cure galaxy after we've escaped being turned into giant space cuttlefish.

Agreed. As long as you realize that doesn't mean the land of happiness and chocolates, quite the opposite in fact. The krogan will have to prove they can adapt and survive... or they will go extinct.

Everything from their initial uplifting to the genophage has been training wheels. With the cure the wheels come off. The krogan have a chance to ride, or crash and burn. Which is more likely? Well, that's another discussion.


And yeah Shepard with asari babies still makes my stomach turn.

I have faith in Wrex. I've never done a playthrough with Wreave though. Would be interesting to try and sabotage the genophage, I never have. I've tried various things with the choices on various playthroughs, but I should really do a playthrough doing all the stuff I never tried. Like having Morinth on the team, etcetera. I have also never screwed over the Quarians, or kept the Collector Base. I really wouldn't want to keep the Collector Base though. Hmmmm. Maybe I'll make this really flawed Shepard who struggles with everything, continually fails everyone, but still does the right thing in the end, which is blowing the fucking tube.

Hmmmmm. Yeah, starting to feel like a new trilogy playthrough.

Krogans are a plage, they can breed a army faster then insects and they will exterminate the others race in the future. Course sabotage the cure is the right thing to do.

That said, I ALWAYS cure the phage. Krogans are my favorite race and I WILL NOT betray Wrex, guy is awesome.

 Also, I would sooner pick Refuse than live to have a child with Liara that looks like Liara, much less cure the genophage (I actually did cure it, anyway, but sabotage is admittedly the wiser decision).
