Live Blogs The Adventure of Failure Shepard or How Not to Play the Mass Effect Trilogy

For the past few months, I have been planning to do a playthrough of the Mass Effect Trilogy where I make the dumbest decisions possible. I have decided to share this experience with you all.

This liveblog will chronicle the adventure of Lieutenant Commander Failure Shepard, better known as FailShep. Young Failure was born on the Human colony of Midnoir, where he lived until it was attacked by evil batarian pirates, who killed everyone he ever knew. FailShep was only sixteen at the time.

Shortly after, FailShep enlisted in the Alliance Military, where his squad was killed by Thresher Maws. FailShep's escape of the Maws made him a legend among the Alliance.

tldr; Failure Shepard is male, a Colonist and a Sole Survivor. Because this playthrough is going to be somewhat minimalist in nature, I'm playing as a Soldier and on the lowest difficulty settings.

It's actually quite amusing that, ever since Noveria, your list of casualties has always begun with genocide. Bit of a shame that there's only been one entry so far, but by the time this project of yours is finished, I highly doubt that it will remain that way...

I'm actually finding this quite fun to read so far. Most of your entries are brief, but considering how much dialogue and how many sidequests a non-failure Commander Shepard has to go through, it's a nice way to show the contrast. Best of luck...or is that a bad choice of words, considering how much Shepard has yet to fail at?
