My advice would be to go through the trilogy first trying them all out.

I'm leaning towards making my 'Everybody dies on the way only to pick refuse ending' pt, canon after Alecs memories gave me a reason to.

I like the way desolation feels.

A Vanguard with Singularity as the bonus power is a better Adept than the Adept. That was true of the Infiltrator and Engineer, as well; though I still have a soft-spot for the Engineer and Neural Shock.

Earthborn War Hero Vanguard sounds great. You're making me want to play the OT, again. I've also been thinking about DAI or DA Trilogy, HZD and another MEA run. It's good to own so many good games!

Agreed with this.  It's hard to have a completely canon playthrough.  Even my Shepard had a save where I thought it would be my "canon" story but I'm not sure it actually is.  I'm sure I'll play it again but usually my first playthrough becomes my more or less "definitive" playthrough that I continue into the next game and consider my dominant play.

Default Scott Ryder

Human biotic with Alliance trained combat skills

Close with his family.  Loved and misses his father, loves his sister and was honest with her while she was in a coma

Scientific focus on Outposts

Spared the Exaltation facility on Voeld but killed the Cardinal

Destroyed the Angaran AI

Gave Morda the drive core to get access to an outpost and ally the Initiative with the Krogan again

Convinced Avitus Rix to become Turian Pathfinder

Exposed Sarissa's betrayal of Ishara and had Vederia become the Asari Pathfinder


Saved Raeka as the Salarian Pathfinder, sacrificed the Krogan scouts

Honored Jaal and spared Aksuul to diminish the roekaar

Shot Kalinda on Peebee's loyalty mission to save the Remnant tech

Allowed Ruth Bekker in Contagion to be sacrificed so no form of that disease can be used in the future as a weapon or bargaining chip

Scanned one to many things in Firefighters and ended up causing the woman (can't be bothered to remember her name) to be killed

Allowed Reyes to assassinate Sloane and the Collective to take over Kadara port

Dislikes Addison and exposes her dirty secrets when he can.  Likes Kesh and Kandros.  Neutral to Tann and doesn't actively antagonize him.

Friends with the entire crew Tempest crew.  Flirted with Cora, Peebee and Vetra and now has to have two "let's be friends" conversations (I'm not sure who yet).  

Strained relationship with Drack.  Strong friendship through loyalty mission and turning over drive core but became hostile when I sacrificed the scouts


I have yet to go to the Nexus to inform the Initiative leadership I have the map to Meridian so I'm not sure how the rest of the game will go to complete my "canon" playthrough.  I'm also fairly confident I'll have at least one more playthrough as a custom male Ryder and possibly a Sara Ryder playthough - though that one may never be completed because I have a hard time plausibly role playing female characters.

This is my 'canon' playthrough.
