Mass Effect 2 Actions Summary
I didn't have time to play ME3 today and I realized that I forgot to do this.
Time elapsed: 11 hours, 15 minutes
Level: 26
Bad decisions made:
- Losing anyone in the Suicide Mission is a bad thing, but the deaths of Garrus, Tali, Thane and Legion will hurt the most.
- Failing Samara, Thane and Tali's loyalty missions, siding against Miranda in her argument with Jack and not doing Jacob and Garrus' loyalty missions was a bad idea.
- Going to the Derelict Reaper before I was ready for the Suicide Mission got all but one member of my crew killed.
- I didn't recruit Kasumi and I waited until the beating the game to recruit Zaeed. Then, I got Zaeed killed off during his loyalty mission.
- Destroying Maelon's data is going to bite me in the ass.
- Destroying the Heretics combined with a decision I'll make in ME3 is going to hurt.
- While the fate of the Collector Base ordinarily doesn't effect anything, it's the most important decision Fail Shep has ever made.

After the minor discussion over Zaeed's mission earlier, I was a tad surprised that you actually went through with it at the tail end. Still, the results were...well, 'fail-tastic' isn't a real word, but it's the only way I can describe the chaos that ensued. Best of luck when the Reapers come a-knockin'!

11 hours? Geez...each Mass Effect game took me a couple of months. I guess that can happen if you're skipping most side missions though.

@EndarkCuli: I wasn't originally going to recruit Zaeed, but I changed my mind later. I also was originally not going to do any loyalty missions besides Jack's, but then I realized that I could still screw things up without impacting my plan for the Suicide Mission.
@montagohalcyon: It helps that I almost never picked an "Investigate" option and only talked to the crew to get loyalty missions and to romance Jack and Kelly.

No Arrival DLC so you can add the death of untold billions of batarians to your kill count?

So I tried my own Failure run a while back where I instead failed to upgrade the Normandy\'s armor, trading out Jack\'s survival for Miranda\'s. It still worked, and ultimately left me with less war assets in 3. I\'m wondering if you can do a Failure run with Tali as the second survivor, though the consequences of that may not be worth it.

@Way To The Dawn you actually get more people killed if Shepard doesn\'t complete that quest. Hackett ends up sending a whole platoon to rescue Dr. Kenson, and they all die destroying the relay. Those batarians still die, though considering the Reapers were coming they were dead no matter what, but you also lose many soldiers who could\'ve helped the war effort later. It actually does damage a War Asset in ME 3, which kinda sucks for anyone who hadn\'t bought that DLC before playing 3.
