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.

And there it is: the final, major decision that we've been building up to over the course of three games. Either the end of all current civilizations will occur, or...the end of all current civilizations will occur, with a slightly higher survival rate in exchange for erasing a few thousand years of technology and progress (that would otherwise have just been left behind for future civilizations to learn from). Which shall it be? I suppose that I'll have to tune in next time and find out!

Part of me wants to see this as a Lets Play with voiceover commentary.
