The Little Things 2.0

I'm guessing it would be seen if control or synthesis is chosen or both since I've never seen that slide when I choose destroy

I never seen it when picking destroy even when I never did her loyalty mission. As I posted above. I believe its one of the other ending's that shows that slide. I'm also guessing that is Morinth she's after. So it would make sense that slide wouldn't be in destroy.

So I just started ME1 was a brand new Shepard. For whatever reason, I went the wrong way when I landed on Eden Prime and got this bit of dialogue:

Kaidan: "What the hell are those?"
Jenkins: "Gas bags. Don't worry, they're harmless."

Here's one I just discovered:


When Shep finds the beacon as a gal, it's Kaidan that gets too close. If you're playing a guy, it's Ashley that gets too close. Explains where the infatuation with Shepard starts.

I've been making several runs of the ME2 Suicide Mission today trying to trigger a specific line.  On the Long Walk portion, Jack just fired a shockwave that wiped out every husk on the radar screen in one go... and Miranda spontaneously complimented her, saying "Good work!"... made me smile.

ETA:  ME1 - It was not too long ago I found out that if you just run over Jenkins without stopping, Kaidan asks Shepard - "Shouldn't we check on Jenkins?"  I wonder how Kaidan really feels about carrying that cold-hearted B*|tch Shepard back to the ship 10 minutes after Shepard just leaves Jenkins lying dead on the battlefield without so much as stopping to check on him?

The quickest way is to just get Opold's package right off the bat and then immediately give it to Anoleis.

I like doing all the double dealing I can on Noveria.  First, I sell out Mailene Callis to Vargas then lie to her about getting her job done.  Then I get Lorik's evidence and then use it to weasel the pass out of Anoleis while still keeping the evidence.  Then I give it to Parasini.  Then, I tell Matsuo I can't promise not to make any more public disturbances.  Then I go up and threaten to beat Inamorda with Opold's package but still keep it... and then tell Opold I'm keeping his package for myself, causing Inamorda to be waiting for me in the docks.  After killing him, I go up to the parking garage and take out the geth waiting there... basically kissing Matsuo off.  (Off course, I started the whole thing by telling her that it was my body count that got me in as a spectre.)  Saren, you are so dead next time I see you.

Well, I didn't get the 'Captain Kirrahe is dead' line from Kaidan, though I guess there were other factors such as the Geth flyers and communications relays. There are too many factors for me to know.

Yeah, you do.  Best way to manage that is to just focus on adding points to one or the other, not both.  I think it's easier if you start out with either a Spacer War Hero (20 points Paragon right off the bat) and focus on building Charm or start out with a Ruthless Earthborn (20 points Renegade right off the bat) and focus on building Intimidate.  Otherwise, you can build both... but you will sacrifice some combat-oriented strengths.  You also get an additional set of Spectre "free" charm/intimidate points if you use an ME1 import back into ME1 (NG+ ME1 game).

OK, gotcha.  I do the same and play Noveria differently then.  I still think you can sell out Opold though without P/R to get through Hanshan without bothering with Parasini and co.

That's what I do. Get his package. Give it to the salarian who gives me a pass. Takes only a couple of minutes to do that.

Good luck without putting some points into Charm/Intimidate.  It can certainly be done pretty close to 50/50 (unlocking both Beseiged Base and the Negotiation before Ilos) if you have the charm/intimidate in place and maximize pretty much everything for either paragon or renegade points and by playing BDtS late in the game so that point increase needed to unlock things doesn't kick in too early.  You can still save the Queen, Wrex, and the Feros colonists... I did it about 2 years ago.  I can't remember which way I had to go with Balak though and I'm not sure which background I started out with.  I'm pretty sure I had to kill Charn and I know I had to intimidate Jeong for that 25 renegade (which takes 10 initimidate).  I'll leave you to it then.  I hope you make your goal.

It was definitely that way when I did that particular playthrough... which was a couple of years ago on the Xbox 360.  I'm certain because I was keeping close track of every P/R point and every unlock point because the Wiki said that a person could not unlock both Beseiged Base and Negotiation without glitching... so I deliberately set out to test the matter.  My second allignment mission unlocked as I set out from the Citadel to get to Ilos (i.e. just after I stole the Normandy).  I remember I felt bad about doing the quest because I was supposed to be rushing to Ilos at that point.  I can't speak for the PC or if the Xbox 360 edition has been updated since then. 

Since then, when I've wanted to get both in the same playthrough, I have pretty much used a little bit of glitching to ensure they both unlock earlier in the game.  One thing that could have skewed my original one (if that point rise had been taken off then) is that Hackett will only tell Shepard about one at a time... even if both unlock during the same mission.  I'm not sure if I kept that particular spread sheet... but if I have I can try to replicate the playthrough now to see if the one mission unlocks earlier.
