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.

Ah, Core...she'll be an interesting case when it comes time to add her name to the list of casualties. I mean, even though Legion is just a part of a greater collective, at least it showed more personality than I think Core ever will. Still, if she wasn't outed by the Mars researchers immediately (and assuming that they're more competent than Shepherd), I suppose she must have at least some degree of Artificial Intelligence...

I believe that Dr. Eva is an AI. She gives orders to the Cerberus soldiers on Mars, her hardware is apparently capable of carrying an AI and she was created as a replacement for EDI.
