As some may remember from my Andromeda canon thread, I'm currently replaying the ME trilogy one last time (I swear, I'm done after this playthrough! I can quit any time!) and since I've already got several "correct/happy ending" Shepards I've been a little more open minded to choices in this playthrough that I wouldn't have been before.
I'm currently about halfway through ME2 and I've started thinking about the Collector Base. I've always destroyed it before, because:
But now I'm thinking it might make more sense within the limits of the story the trilogy actually tells to let TIM keep the base. After all, if you're worried that letting him salvage all that tech would end up with him indoctrinated and wildly misappropriating all those discoveries... well, that happens anyway. There's no longer an option to be a reluctant partner to Cerberus in ME3 as TIM has gone completely off the reseveration and is straight up militarily opposing the Alliance.
Now, I like destroying the base as I mentioned before and an added bonus for me is that I'm usually romancing Miranda and I love the scene where she also tells TIM where to stick it and quits Cerberus then you ride off in the nuclear sunset together. I also feel like it's a shame to miss that altercation because I like to see Shepard actually say "Fuck Cerberus, I quit" rather than just having it implied by him turning himself over to the Alliance after Arrival.
It's also, obviously, the smart move as all your crewmates comment on the fact that TIM is a few batteries short of a working dildo and letting him have all that advanced technology can only lead to bad shit.
But again, that bad shit happens anyway. Is there any mechanical consequence (like War Assets or something) to the Collector Base decision?
What are your thoughts about the story making a bit more sense if TIM is corrupted and seduced by the Collector's technology?
Let the discussion... be discussed!

- While not exactly Reaper tech, it's pretty damn close and we all know that if you get indoctrinated, you're gonna have a bad time
- Fuck TIM, just in general
