ME1 – Romance wise I used to be an Ashley kind of guy, not so much for her irrational distaste for aliens, but more out of default for completely hating Liara. After finding out Tali was an option in ME2, though, I went back and went without any romance so I would technically not be *cheating* when I pursued Tali later on. I saved the Rachni, and do so every playthrough, because I honestly do not have it in me to kill the Queen. To me that’s one of the most evil things you could ever do, in any game, ever. It looks like it won’t come back to bite us though, as I thought it might. I saved the council but I appointed Udina instead of Anderson, because even though he was an ass, he seemed like the right choice for his experience in politics. I let Ashley bite the dust because it seems like everybody hates and kills Kaidan, but I actually liked his character. I dunno.

ME2 – SPOILERSWTF? I also saved the station initially. Unlike the Council choice I didn’t find this one so clear… The Illusive Man was REALLY convincing at the moment the choice is being made. The only thing that made me realize “what have I just done?” (apart from his very sinister appearance during the final conversation) was talking with all of the crew, and EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. (only Garrus is *almost* indifferent, but not quite) is like “What have you done?” Even Miranda and Jacob. I was actually really confused. I plan on going into ME3 with my initial impulse – keeping it – and then going through later with what I think was the “right” choice.

Genophage – yeah, that was actually how I was too. After only hearing Wrex’s side all through ME1 you go in thinking it’s terrible, but to hear Mordin talk about it, it actually seemed like a reasonable thing given the circumstances. I also chose to hold on to the data, but didn’t commit myself either way. The way I figure, given the IMMENSE scope of that Reaper fleet at the end, a few years of breeding without a Genophage won’t bring any meaningful difference in power of the fleet that’s preparing for them, and after the Reaper threat is dealt with, I can’t help but feel the Krogan really ARE dangerous if left unchecked, just by their nature. For every Wrex, there are like 10 war mongering lunatics.

Quarian / Geth – I actually really like the Quarians, as I’ve said, and I really feel for their situation. It sounded to me like the weapon that Tali’s father was working on (and given the email that his friend the other Admiralty Board member sends to you) was something that would actually subdue the Geth and put them under the Quarian’s control once more, instead of an actual armed conflict. If that ends up being the choice – even though I know it will be Renegade out the whazoo – I will recommend they do it. I think by the numbers that would actually make the Quarians more powerful than the entire Citadel fleet, come to think of it. On the otherh and, if it’s an actual armed conflict, I’ll try and negotiate peace if only to be prepared for the Reapers. I went with brainwashing the heretics, not because I thought that was a moral choice at all, but merely because Legion said those ‘programs’ which favored it slightly outnumbered the ones that favored destroying them.

I actually ended up my first time without losing any crew members (apart from the red shirts, which I really felt bad about – but I wasn’t about to speed off and get them before I was done with loyalty quests and upgrading my ship). As far as personal relationships, other than my fanboyism of Tali, it was pretty standard amicable stuff. The exception that comes immediately to mind is that I was a total ass to Jack – one of the most unlikeable characters in any video game I’ve ever played.
