Now I can finally focus on other things! It's been a while since I've been that into a game before. Had its flaws but what a ride!

I think I would have enjoyed it more if I stopped freaking out about every single decision and trying to think of ways I could possibly be screwed over by. Also I can't say I'm a huge fan of morality being tied to conversation options. The biggest draw for the series when I first heard about it was that it was more open-ended and flexible with your decisions but since you pretty much "had to" stick with one path, I still felt a little forced into some of the decisions because I was worrying about if I could pass the checks or not.

I ended up preserving the Collector base at the end. I hope this doesn't end up coming back to bite me in the ass. >_>

Best case scenario would be Cerberus finding some breakthrough technology and then I kill the Illusive Man and take over as the premiere power in the galaxy. ^_^


Crew Rankings:

Tali > Thane > Mordin > Garrus/Miranda/Kasumi > Morinth > Jack/Jacob/Samara > Grunt/Legion > Zaeed

Tali - Soooo cute. But I think I killed the dialogue tree after I asked if she was blushing. She won't talk to me anymore. =/
Thane - I'm fascinated with anything that has to do with perfect memory. Also he's a badass.
Mordin - I think his story is one of the best. And love the idiosyncrasies in his speech.
Garrus - I sexed him up. But that scene lol.
Miranda - ANGST. But she isn't afraid to pull the trigger and I like that.
Kasumi - I like Japanese girls with a penchant for kleptomania.
Morinth - Interesting concept and I've gotten used to having her around.
Jack - Gets old after a while.
Jacob - Yawn.
Samara - I ended up killing her so I can't really comment. >_> I didn't really want to though...
Grunt - RAWRRRRRR
Legion - meh
Zaeed - I barely even talked to this guy.

Mass Effect 3 is a lot better about this since it takes your total amount of reputation into account, but I was able to play ME1 and ME2 as a mixture of Paragon and Renegade. In ME1 I missed out on the final option with Saren, but no big deal. In ME2 I was able to make all of the decisions I wanted to (including passing the two loyalty checks), thanks to the perk that increases your Paragon/Renegade points. That helps a LOT. Paragade forever.

Did you need to pass Paragon/Renegade checks for this one? I can't remember, but I didn't think you had to.

No worries, ME3 fixes the morality system so you don't feel as constrained to one side.

It works a lot better.

I'm so lazy I'm watching all the scenes of the alternate options on youtube instead of doing another playthrough.

Okay to be fair, that's because I barely brought Grunt/Legion along on missions. But I've seen some of Grunt's extra dialogue. Hilarious.

Move him above Jacob. Legion, I still need to see more.

After I got Legion I went straight to his loyalty mission and then the Omega 4 Relay so not much chance.

Tali > Thane > Mordin > Garrus/Miranda/Kasumi > Morinth > Jack/Jacob/Samara > Grunt/Legion > Zaeed

Grunt / Legion / Zaeed too low

Morinth too high

Garrus should be higher as well (although Mordin and Thane are awesome as well)

If you don't upgrade your ship, when you're passing through the relay are the crew members that die random?

Nope.

Alright folks. Time for the big famous chart to make another appearance. The folks on BSN that worked on this mammoth are great, so I hope you appreciate it. Don't look at this chart unless you want all the Suicide Mission mechanics broken down for you.
