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, so that's why Samara lived: so that her Justicar Code could completely and utterly muck things up. I've cleared the first two games, but I've never gotten this far into the third Mass Effect game, and a reason for her survival in a failure run has been a mystery to me until now. The results were certainly intriguing, if nothing else.

Best of luck in the missions to come!

Apologies for the delay. I've been feeling a bit under the weather lately. I'll try to post something tomorrow.
