What did you do today in ME?

I keep on delaying curing the genophage since I know I'm going to habe to sabotage the mission and it's going to be one of the hardest decisions I've had to make in this series.

Augh, I don't want to; I'm going to end up sobbing, I know it.

Kelly's offer to have dinner usually occurs only right after you finish recruiting Samara... with the offer to feed the fish coming in the conversation right after that dinner.  If you've already recruited Samara and you don't get the opportunity to have dinner with her, it means you've not flirted with her quite enough to trigger that dinner.  It happens to me a lot when I play Femshep generally because I tell I like Garrus rather than asking for some of her therapy or I ask her if she's into aliens.  (I hate that Femshep has to flirt that hard with her just to get the fish fed... and if Kelly doesn't feed, I mess it up so they wind up dead every single time.)

I like that image. Whenever I do that mission, my Shepard stands for a minute looking at Earth, the best looking planet in the universe

Today Kim killed a giant spider on Rannoch, twice. First time she picked the Quarians, but it felt hollow. Redid the mission and picked the Geth because screw you Tali I'm still mad you didn't give me the shield upgrades >:C.
It was pretty anti-climactic either way.

Saved Baby Grunt on the way to the Citadel, while poser Queen got left behind. Did a bunch of chatting on the main levels. Threatening Voluses with Zaeed, dinner with Kaidan and some deliveries. Good stuff. Then went to the Strip to get Fire Cobra Claw agent Grunt out of custody. Afterwards it was time to pick up party supplies and meet up with Garrus.
And ugh...Not my cup of tea. Only thing I kind of liked was how his neck stretched out in the banter. Otherwise just no. Do not want. Go away. Sit in the corner of shame and think about what you did.
But the Party supplies were good. *blows a party horn*.

Went shopping with Edi and then started the Leviathan DLC. Found out were Garneu was hiding, went to fetch him but found Reapers instead.
They did not bring their A game and the Banshee came earlier than expected. So she got a lovely kiss from the Hydra as a reward, then the team chilled while the drone did it's thing.
Kim then went back to the Citadel, located Ann Bryson on the map, beat James' pull up record and visited the Asari councilor.
Next session will probably be some fuel sniffing, monastery visiting and Thessia.
So good times.

For me, it's because I read a lot of post-war fanfic where I see Shepard have a life with his LI (usually Kaidan).  I get into the head of my Shepard and imagine his LI to be very sad if Shepard doesn't make it.  Thus, I want them to get that happily-ever-after.

Helping Aria T'Loak in retaking Omega

A lot of times I do
You don't have to speedrun for everyone to die.

I did an ME2 playthrough that took about 7 hours with all squadmates I recruited surviving.

When I do a speedrun, I know what I will do for that playthrough.

Playing through the game adds replay value. Its nice to speed through the game every now and then.

Saved Councilman Burns with biotic version of these guys just derping everywhere:



Ironically I did that mission afterwards.

And then more of this:

Thoughts ln naming my final Shepard Haven? Or is that too literal?

Haven Shepard? I think it has a nice ring to it, and I like the juxtapositon when she turns out to be a hardass and more than a little snarky.

Dear Oriana,

I never thought Shepard would side with that bitch Jack over me. I'm so angry with him that I could just slam him across the room. On our last mission to Cerberus' defunct biotic facility on Pragia, she fed him a whole lot of crap about how Cerberus kept her locked up and tortured her by making her fight other biotic children. I have to admit, the environment didn't look like it was a good one for raising children. Still, she's just crazy, and I'm convinced that she's going to seriously distract him and jeopardize the mission. I'm going to have to have a word with whoever the Illusive Man has assigned to drawing up these dossiers.

I hope you and your family are settling OK. Take care.

Dear Nephew,

Convinced Shepard to go to Tuchanka to rescue my old student Maelon.  Krogan seemed not as aggressive as first anticipated.  Clan leader seems very progressive and seems to be making progress in uniting the various clans under his.  Centralized government may cause significant change in the mortality rates of Krogan on Tuchanka and make it necessary to further adjust the genophage, but cannot think of that now.  Situation on Tuchanka with Maelon was very disturbing.  Running high-level tests on human prisoners and on brainwashed male Krogan and also on female Krogan volunteers.   Barbaric.  Wanted to kill him after discovering true situation but Shepard stopped me and convinced me to save his data as well.  Have put the situation aside for now to focus on our current objective of stopping the Collectors.  Will decide what to do with the data if we survive.

Am very pleased about your news on receiving tenure.  Congratulations.

Dear Auntie Ra'an,
Thank you so much for helping at my trial.  I'm sure the other admirals would have had me exiled were it not for you keeping them in line and Veetor and Reegar speaking up on my behalf.  Of course, most of the credit has to go to Shepard.... but then again he has always been very skillful at rallying people to his cause.  Someday I'll tell you the story Garrus told me about how he got a Turian to shoot a bartender for him here on Omega.   I'm actually very proud to carry my new name.

We're on Omega now tracking down the daughter of one of my squad mates.  This daughter has some sort of Asari genetic condition that causes her to need to kill everyone she mates with.  Shepard and Samara are in talking with the mother of one of her victims right now, giving me a chance to write this letter... oh, here they come so I better sign off.

Stay safe,
Tali Zorah vas Normandy
