Never landed on Dekuuna Has anyone? The real question is "did you ever scan Dekuuna?" If the answer is "yes" then you've done what needed doing.

I have never done a full playthrough as FemShep. Same. I've started but I'm pretty sure I never even finished a single game with FemShep (exception being my Twin Shepards using gender swap but starting out as FemShep). I have never missed the Paragon interrupts on Tali's loyalty mission, the finale of Overlord, or Samara's "I will not kill my last daughter". I missed the first and third purely by accident and was pretty horrified at what happened to Samara. I just didn't know what was happening and my hand wasn't on my mouse. :sob: I have never picked the Ruthless service history. I have but then made him change. Or, rather, I started an ME3 run with the Ruthless background and had a lot of dead squadmates from ME2. He them contemplated his choices in life during his 6 months of incarceration and "turned good" (a la EDI) in ME3. I have never played a Vanguard or Sentinel who DID NOT have the War Hero service history. Probably true. I know my original Soldier was a Sole Survivor. My preferred choices are Colonist (because of the "feels" from "I Remember Me" in ME1), Vanguard and War Hero. Have to mix it up though.

As I'm about to embark in a first-time-a-lot-of-new-things playthrough, this is what I've never done until now: General: - never played male Shep - never played soldier, or engineer in ME1, or sole survival, or war hero backgrounds - never played paragon (apart from some very few, random paragonish decisions and points gathered by mistake)
ME: - never saved the Council - never chose Udina as councilor - never not recruited anyone - never had Wrex killed on Virmire - never romanced anybody - never missed to curse the Mako and wish "well" to whoever designed it. On a related note, never missed the opportunity to punish myself with driving the damn Mako on all explorable planets, each and every corner
ME2: - never missed any of the delicious renegade interrupts in the game (well, except in the very first attempt to play when I had no clue what are these things popping up) - never let any of these live in Miranda's, Jack's and Garrus' LMs: Niket, Aresh, Sidonis - never let Grunt in the tank; never let Cerberus take Legion - never sided with Miranda in the Jack / Miranda catfight after Jack's LM; also, never sided with Tali in the very few occasions when I had Tali loyal - always rewrote the heretics - never romanced anybody other than Garrus - never had enouh conversations with Kelly so she is feeding the fish - never let David Archer to his brother in the Overlord DLC
ME3 - never played without Wrex, therefore never sabotaged the genophage cure - never missed the opportunity to shoot Udina - never lost the Salarian Councilor in the Cerberus Coup - I've never had Kelly survive the coup - I actually don't remember having ever seen her in ME3 in any of my games - never let the reaper fake rachni queen escape - again, no other romance than Garrus - never choose Control ending - stupid me series: never managed to finish the mirror match in the Armax Arena on insanity. I keep trying...

I think I have done most things but there are things I am still interested in doing that I haven't done yet:
Never not recruited squadmates in the games like Wrex, Garrus, Samara, Tali, etc. I always get everyone.
Never betrayed and killed Wrex in ME3 (but I plan to do this soon)
Finished playing a truly renegade and mean femshep (working on this too)
Never romanced Liara (this will never happen EVER)
Never done a same sex romance (probably will never do this either)
Never survived the suicide mission with just two squadmates. (Again, planning to change this. Survivors will be Kasumi and someone else I haven't chosen yet).
That's all I got now.

Never played engineer. Never chose Control or Refuse. Never romanced Ashley, Miranda, Jack, Liara (except that one time I was ninjamanced, which annoyed the hell out of me so I kind of don't count it) or Steve. Never completed a FemShep in any of the OT games. Never killed Wrex. Never didn't remove Grunt from his pod. Never refused to do a LM. Never chose Morinth.
I'm sure there's more but I can't think of it now.

I can strike one of my list.
I completed the suicide mission with just two squadmates alive. It was pretty funny to be giving a speech to just Kasumi. She didn't even stand a chance because I didn't even do her loyalty mission. It was also funny to see only Miranda at the final cutscene nodding to my Shepard. I kept her alive because she is the romance. I am actually interested in doing this type of run again actually. This time having Kasumi with me to the end.
Though I did have a weird glitch. I had Samara hold the line. And she wasn't loyal. I thought Samara dies regardless of loyalty because she can't hold the door. But she got shot, stood up, the sad music played and she survived. I had to replay the SM again and this time I stuck Zaeed there and he did die.

It sounds like Samara was fireteam leader, and she was by herself. If someone is fireteam leader, for the 2nd part, and by themselves, that squadmate will always survive.

- never played as a mostly-paragon character - never picked the backgrounds that weren't called Earthborn or Ruthless - never really played as male Shep (outside of some quick playtests after adding and removing mods) - never played Soldier in SP - never romanced anyone in ME1 - never romanced anyone other than Garrus in ME2/3 (the other options were characters I either didn't care for, or disliked what happened to them in ME3) - never not push the guy out the window during Thane's recruitment mission - never let Sidonis live - never sold Legion - never recruited Morinth - never picked Control, Synthesis, or Refuse

I think by that point I lost Jacob to the swarms which left Miranda, Mordin, and Kasumi alive. And Samara was holding the line. I swore that's what could have happened. I replayed the suicide mission and sent Mordin back to the ship successfully, had Zaeed hold the line and he died. I had Samara, Kasumi, and Miranda left. I took Miranda and Samara to the final boss. Kasumi and Samara both died.

Kasumi and Samara both died. Correct me if I'm wrong about a couple of things. When you say Miranda, Kasumi and Mordin alive, does that mean they survived the suicide mission? Was Samara holding the line herself? Then you replayed the mission with Zaeed holding the line. So Kasumi was with him holding the line as well? Was she loyal? What happened to Zaeed the first time you went through the mission? Did he die before leaving Samara to hold the line? Since you had Kasumi and Samara die, I guess that means that Mordin and Miranda were the only survivors?

With the exception of Morinth, I can never resist recruiting every single squad mate. Even if I dislike them or set things up so they won't survive the trilogy, I have to at least recruit them.
I've never completed a game as male Shepard or as a soldier
I've never chosen Refuse or Synthesis

Never have I ever picked anything other than Destroy... Never have I ever not hugged Tali... Never have I ever romanced Jacob, Steve, James or Javik... Never have I ever not punched Gerral... Never have I ever left a squadmate un-recruited or disloyal... (even Morinth, though never have I ever slept with her) Never have I ever done a playthrough with default bro or fem...

Since you had Kasumi and Samara die, I guess that means that Mordin and Miranda were the only survivors? I think I mispoke. When I meant held the line, I meant the second leader who acts as a diversion. You have to open the gate for them and they get shot and die. I forgot holding the line means holding off the collectors when you are fighting the final boss. In my first attempt I had Samara be the fireteam leader and she survived despite not being loyal. I think I had Kasumi, Miranda, Zaeed and Samara alive by this point. In the second run I had Zaeed be the leader and hold the door. He died. At this point Samara, Kasumi, and Miranda were alive. I took Samara and Miranda and left an unloyal Kasumi behind. The only survivors were Mordin, Miranda, and myself. I also forgot to mention, I have never played Sheploo and likely never will.

I don't think there's something on here that I haven't done.
Except for possibly :
Let the rachni queen die twice.
Oh and let Tali die in Suicide Run. I'm not even sure that she can die in the Suicide Run. Pretty sure I've seen the rest of them die.

I got her killed in the suicide mission by a. being a complete and utter renegade ass toward her throughout ME2 b. not recruiting Legion c. sending her (instead of Mordin) to protect the rest of the Normandy crew while they escaped the Collector base - she died

So I can scratch killing Wrex in ME3 off in ME3. I just have a few issues with this scene.
Wrex said "Ashley not around to do your dirty work? Oh right, you killed her too." This doesn't make sense. Ash never really did my "dirty work" for me and she died on Virmire. I get that he can mean my indecision got her killed. But I thought Wrex would only say this if Ash lived into ME3 and I shot her on the Citadel coup.
And also, its really strange none of the other squadmates say anything about Wrex's death outside of Garrus. He also barely emotes in this scene. A friend of his is dead and his world lost the krogan. I don't know if Liara does, but I never talk to her ever. Kaidan and Tali didn't say anything about Wrex. That's kind of disappointing. This whole arc actually feels a little weak to me and I don't think I'll be doing it again.

Since you were able to talk him down, he likely saw Ashley standing behind him. He came to the conclusion that if he didn't stand down, Shepard likely would signal her to shoot him.
