Mass Effect 1 Actions Summary

Major Bad Decisions Made:

  • Did not recruit Garrus Vakarian.
  • Ignored almost every sidequest.
  • Killed the Rachni Queen eliminating a decent amount of War Assets and allowing me to "damage" other war assets in ME3
  • Executed Shiala and massacred the people of Zhu's Hope means I won't be getting a particular war asset in ME3.
  • Talking Wrex down combined with a future action will result in significantly less war assets in ME3.
  • Allowed Fail Shep's love interest to die.
  • Held off recruiting Liara, the most overpowered squadmate in the first game, as long as possible. I actually recommend doing this at least once. The scenes you get are quite amusing.
  • Saved the Council while allowing Kirrahe to die along with a future action gives slightly less war assets than letting the Council die.

Play Time: 8 hours 9 minutes at the time of the final scene with the Council.

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?
