share your mass effect 2 story! (WARNING SPOILERS)

[DementedSheep]

I had no Casualties at the end, romance with Jack, brainwashed geth, told the quarians, blew up the base even though I would of kept the tech if i wasnt giving it to Cerberus. I am thinking of making another playthrough where Shepard dies at the end because i heard a rumour something happend in the third ME like playing a different character ? i dont know maybe its a lie XD

If you're shepard died you will need to make a new one in ME3. The save will not import. This is confirmed by devs and was mentioned in loading screens in ME2.

Just because there seems to be a bit of confusion here on how the squad mate deaths actually work I figure I post a link to a thread explaining it on the bioware forum http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/105/index/5855452
It even has a graph
The deaths are calculated, not chance based. Loyalty makes a difference but upgrades don't. If you biotic is wrong or un loyal then one of your other squadmates will be taken by the swarm.
I had half the crew die because I didn't go to the base right away.

Cheers for the chart Certainly is exhaustive and explains everything.

Always thought sheperd was impossible to kill except if all others died, but seems having just 1 survivor isn't enough after all.

I'd go back and edit my post due to the many errors it has, but screw it, I'm half proud of having figured out most of it by myself.

I know I know it says that on the loading screens XD it was just a rumour a rubbish one at that but I got nothing else to do until ME3 comes out other than when space marine comes out ftw

The ending where Shepard dies is actually kind of epic. It?s always good to have an excuse to replay ME2.

I heard somewhere that if Shepard dies, in ME3 you get to play as a new British guy with the surname Shepard.

Dunno if its true or not, but would be kinda awesome if it is.

first playthrough of suicide mission

lost legion, thane before I even got to the collector base
lost tali as she tried to close the door
lost samara and half of the crew
lost mordin as he failed to hold the line

second playthrough of the suicide mission everybody lived [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EverybodyLives] because I wanted to get that achievment.

 

[MacJack]

i just recently finished mass effect 2 and i wanted to know how other peoples decision affected their game. in the end i kept the base and i lost kasumi and zaheed, really sad about zaheed , and i also lost doctor chakwas and the crew.

well,

I've just managed to complete the final suicide mission without a single team-member dead.

Thas why, someone HAS to die. There is no way around it.

 

[Seives-Sliver]

Everyone on my crew survived, I saved everyone of the Normandy crew that was abducted, I destroyed the Collector ship, sent part of the cure for the genophage to the Krogan, added numbers to the Geth, and basicly did everything that would give me a massive army in the last game.

Not true Bioware has stated many times that if your Shepard dies you cannot import that save file to ME3.

 

[Ctrl Awesome]

Is just me or did the last add-on arrival made shepard out to be the end justifys the means type of guy when he was talking to harbinger because i made my shepard to be there always a better way to solve the problem without killing civs or its just me XD.

 

[Zeema]

I kept Everyone Alive except the Crew i was like 'they can walk themselves back'

 

[Argonian alchemist]

The only character I ever liked was Thane... my character ended up in a romance with him and it was going perfect and then...

Him and Mordin die at the end...

WTF!? Seriously? the one character I like... gone... FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

 

[Corpse XxX]

Lost jack, you gotta lose one in the end, its innevitable, it was cool, she was all like "damn it, i didnt supose to care"

But i hated myself for bothering with the ship and my teammates, you see its some much darker and better when so many people die, its a better "Story" atleast for me.

Nobody has to die, all of them can survive.. I made all of them survive on my second playthrough, to do this you have to do all character specific side missions and succeed them.. And on the last mission you have to choose the people to lead the teams that the game advices you to..
Doing this will make it so all survives..

Agreed entirely.

I hated- and I mean very much mean hated- all the people who looked up what to do to get the perfect ending for the game the first time through. At that point you only bought the game for the shooting scenes.

OT: I lost Agent 47, the Butch chick, Mordin, Robocop... and I think that was it.

It was probably the most perfect ending for me. Lost enough of them to at least care about what had happened(was a little sad about Thane), but it wasn't so heartwrenching that it made me want to play again.

I kept Tali and Garrus. In the end that was all that mattered.

So npc tells me who to select? Damn i thought i was cool for picking the one i think its right, that the game needed some player skill on that choice

I consider the first mass effect to have a pretty weak story. It lacked things like that and some information on who the hell you fighting for, but in the second game, that suicide mission is really doing something that was never done before in a game.

In any case this game and reviews on witcher 2 bring me to say that i hate nonlinear stories for that reason, either you are not impressed with one of the endings you got, like witcher 2 or you do stuff that make things less impressive, in my case, i did everything which resulted inot a less shocking ending, DAMN IT, if i didnt bother with all quests that i would get a much better "Story" Thats what why i prefer linear stories that are designed to cause emotions on the user.

At first I lost Mordin, but since I'm such a trophy whore i reloaded my save and got everyone out alive and destroyed the base.
