Introduction

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, if Failure Shepard can be nicknamed "Fail" Shepard, does that mean Success Shepard can be nicknamed "Suck" Shepard?

I was actually thinking of doing that, but decided against it because it would confuse me.

Something that surprised me about this DLC was how some of the side characters were treated. Perhaps, since one of the main selling points was being able to get old party members to fight at your side (mostly in the now-unlocked arena stuff, though Wrex could have helped with Shepherd had he lived), I didn't originally think that the other members of the Normandy would get major roles. But Joker and Cortez had awesome moments dealing with their own crafts, Traynor's scene was funny, and Glyph went above and beyond the duties of Liara's digital secretary.

All in all, I thought that this DLC was worth every penny. Best of luck if you decide to try the combat challenges, and may the party be absolutely rockin'!
