Things you've never did in the trilogy

Well, I'm sure Wrex would've preferred to have gotten punched instead of what I did to him.

Yeah that. It's been years since I played 3, so I didn't remember the exact detail.

Never not recruited him, so never got to see that, but yes, Wrex needed to be dealt with in that scenario.

I've never romanced a male LI.

never saved the council
never played paragon
never romanced Garrus, Jacob, Jack, Thane, Kaidan, or Steve
never played a male Shepard

It did finally do an ending where I didn't save them.  Pretty dark, especially after the talk of keeping other races in line if they should object to human rule.  Then, when the new Council won't even talk to Shepard...though the end result is identical so it sort of doesn't matter.

I know why its the better choice. Its something I've been saying for as long as I've been posting on the offline BSN forum and on this  forum

There's a lot of decisions and dialogue I covered with a few Shepards to cover the spectrum of decisions but I haven't

-finished a male Shepard playthrough. His words kept running over each other to the point it got distracting.

-romanced any of the love interests Male Shep can pick.

-finished a non-persuasive Shepard. It's a lot more interesting without persuasion checks though.

-been able to be friends with Liara after all the stunts she pulled.

-not shot the Illusive Man at the end. Being unable to skip cutscenes and to save at that point just makes me want to end it as fast as possible.

-done the creepy one night stand with James. James and Femshep deserve better treatment than that indignity.

I'm sure there's more. These are just off the top of my head.

Never "romanced" Allers or kicked her off the ship. I have chosen to not recruit her though.

Never let the council die
Romance Liara,Kelly,Cortez,or Allers
Not have everyone loyal before the suicide mission
Not warn the batarians
Play SP as Adept or Engineer
Kill Wrex on Virmire or the Citadel
Not cure the genophage
Not broker peace between the quarian and geth

He says that even if the council is killed. From what I've seen of the saving the council thing, the destiny is not seen helping. If it was helping, why didn't it return fire when the geth ships were firing at it?

I would not have left the decision to Shepard. He/she has no idea how large a force the geth have nor how large a force the Citadel fleets have. Its odd Joker says the destiny can be saved, how would he know without knowing how large a force the geth have. I'm also surprised he didn't pass the comms to Hackett so he can get more information from Shepard. As is, I would have left it up to Hackett to decide if the destiny can be saved or not since he can see the battle first hand and knows how large a force he has. I would also put the blame of having the council in harms way on the destiny commander. Its her responsibility to make sure the council gets to safety. She failed.

Ground troops on the Citadel can't be meaningfully equated with geth ships outside. Just because you have to fight on the ground doesn't mean the sky isn't clear. I believe the scenario is set as it being a (relatively) straight shot to Saren with the DA stopover on the way if you choose to save them.

Otherwise it depends how the scenarios are set up. In some cases, yes you have to kill the adds, in other cases they can be ignored. And in some cases you absolutely have to stop the main boss, because the adds just keep respawning and there's a time limit where if you don't stop the boss in time you lose regardless. Also, is it the case of preserving your team long enough to sustain high DPS or did you just distract yourself saving a pretty (and granted, useful) NPC?

For the colossus on Haestrom, I'm fairly sure I've sniped it or used heavy weapons on it directly without bothering to clean up all the geth. At least at one time or another
Yeah, it's another classic case of the incompatibility of what they wanted Shepard to be and what they wanted gameplay to be. If Shepard is to be this great leader who makes world changing decisions, he absolutely needs to learn to delegate the ground combat stuff. Also Shepard wasn't Space Jesus at that point. It's debatable whether he even had the authority or the clout to make that decision. Pretty much the only thing going for him is the Spectre mandate of "do whatever it takes". But while that's a license to do practically anything himself, I'm not sure it actually carries the authority to order fleets around. In fact, I'd bet it doesn't. And even so, he gave that order to the human fleet and some in Alliance Brass don't seem to give much of a damn for Spectres if Mihailovich is even remotely representative of their number. Realistically I'd expect any order other than "focus on Sovereign/protect our own ships" to be met with a sardonic "recommendation duly noted", if anyone other than Joker bothers replying at all.
