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.

So, you've done everything you could have to ruin the future of the krogan race...and Wrex still thinks of you as a friend. And then Shep thinks about party members that have died due to his ignorance. I'm finding it hard to decide just how guilt-ridden Fail Shep would be at any given moment, especially since all of the chaos is intentional from the player's point of view...

In fairness to Wrex, he doesn't know you sabotaged the cure yet.
