Only to have sex with a asari, and tell them to screw off :mrgreen:

I could talk about the politics of Mass Effect all day long :mrgreen:
SPOILER ALERT You've been warned.
At the end of Mass Effect 2, I told the Illusive Man to screw off, so there's my answer![]()
Man, I love the Illusive Man. Hey, its a war, and we need someone to unite humanity, one way or another. I'm sure you've seen the trailer of Mass Effect 3 right?

Weirdest poll i've made on this forum but i can't stop thinking about it. Basically im playing this game set in the future, where human development takes them beyond our solar system, into different nebula's and galaxies. There are many different types of intelligent life forms from different evolutionary backgrounds and planets that humans inevitably cross paths with. They mingle in our cities and we in theirs, imagine; they can talk like you, learn your language, adapt to your culture, share the same interests as you, have a collective sense on what is right or wrong. They have big cultural differences, different ways of doing or understanding things, the way people did before the days of planes, ships and globalization, before the days of integration right here on Earth.
Yet, although all these races live together, prejudices exist, historic hatred and stereotyping still alive, just like in today's society. Naturally, inter-human race supremacy ideals would shift slowly to human race supremacy in such an event. And even though this galactic society has its tensions, they collectively agree racism is wrong, should be combated and equality promoted, again, like today's world.
But in-game exists an organization called Cerberus. It promotes pro-Human agenda's, sometimes even resulting in violence against other races to ensure its dominance and genetic pool is maintained. It emphasizes on inter-human breeding, human only colonies, independent human political system, military intervention to save human lives only and promotes the importance of the human culture, history and identity over others.
In such a hypothetical world, as a citizen of the galaxy in the world 2100, would you be in favor of lifting racial prejudices of human vs alien, or would you support the Cerberus cause?
Every time i think about what my answer would be, i cant help but think "well, would i be a white supremacist against other human races?". But its different....or did people see it in a similar light back then? Me vs this foreigner who looks nothing like me, who has a different background as me? Will that be the next big step towards a discriminant free society in the distant future? All hypothetically speaking, of course.
Don't matter if they're from Mexico or Betelguese. An alien is an alien. We are better than them until my cousin marries one.
Isn't that pretty far-fetched? I thought hicks marry thier cousin.![]()
And it would be foolish to assume that only humanity could take down the Reapers. We need an inter-species united front.
Hey, I chose to let the Asari warship go up in flames in Mass Effect 1, and Joker raped Sovereign. I was a total human supremist in Mass Effect 2. Humans are being attacked in Mass Effect 3, I think that we can fight the Reapers off on our own. I'm a firm believer in the unlimited potential of humanity.
I'm assuming you have an all human council as well? We'll see how that works out for you in ME3, I'd fear for the planet though![]()
Its not my fault the other species aren't as strong, ruthless and smart as humans haha
I'm not worried about 3, whatever doesn't kill us only makes us stronger.
If everyone isn't with us, were all dead.
I want an ending where the entire galaxy is destroyed.
.That will probably be one of the possibilities. You'd have to be a real **** up though probably.

I only had 3 surviving team members at the end of ME2. I don't think I'm that bad though.
Actually I'd say Vorcha and Krogan are far more ruthless. And Salarians are more intelligent.
How did you let that happen??? I never lost a soul, and I've played it at least six times...
By going into the Omega Relay WAY too early. Not upgrading the Normandy at all will get about atleast 3-4 of your squad killed.
In my last play through I lost Jack, and that only happened because I sided with Miranda over her when they had their fight, and I didn't have the paragon/renegade choices available to solve the situation peacefully, so I lost Jacks loyalty.
Yeah, you have to be on your toes, do things fast that need to be done fast, but take your time with things that make the difference between success and failure at the end. I remember the fight, but I never lost either of their loyalty. I had paragon choices available in nearly every situation from the early part of the game on. I was such a good girl!![]()
Assuming you meant "species", not race....If Humans where not the only race, would you be a Human supremacist?
