WARNING MASS EFFECT 2 ENDING SPOILERS

[Mikkaddo]

I did things almsot exactly right for the final mission. I ended up only losing Thane, the rest survived and I am DAMN proud of myself for that. Apparently i should have sent either tali or Legion into the pipes at the start of it but since Thane enters the game going through pipes and talks about his home planet being such high temp it made it seem like Thane was meant to be the one for it. Oh well. Always next time.

I saved right before the human reaper boss. Fought it with Grunt and Miranda and then watched Miranda fall off a ledge and get beamed by a falling girder. Luckily I'd saved it prior to that so I could watch it again and again and again.


=)

 

[Shycte]

No man was left behind.

 

[MasterOfWorlds]

I never lost anyone on any of my playthroughs. I just figured that having all my stuff in the best fighting order was kind of, you know, a good idea. XD

 

[Booze Zombie]

Everyone lived, because I had sent Mordin as the crew escort in my first playthrough, not realising that this is awesome because he's the most likely to die out of all characters, due to him being a scientist.

 

[Confidingtripod]

only lost thane, meh never liked him

 

[Corpse XxX]

First round through i lost Tali and Miranda..

second run through everybody survived..

You need all loyal teammembers and on last mission you need to choose the leaders and such that they recommend in order for all to survive..

 

[Lordmarkus]

First character. Everyone lives, even the crew. Expression: Was this suppsosed to be difficult?

Second Character. Everyone lives except the cerberus team. Expression: What the fuck is everyone whining about? This is piss-easy!

Third character. Tired of Mass Effect 2, awaiting patience to initiate Suicide mission.

 

[senorfatso]

I fell out with Tali during her side-quest so had my bessie Mordin go in for the engie vent-opening job- bad call; he got shot whilst helping me close the door. Everyone else survived, needless to say I was pissed, so close to getting that achievement.

 

[mindlessvulgarity]

Everyone lived, which was pretty cool.

Is it possible to have everyone die though?

 

[Buccura]

Only Miranda died. And nothing of value was lost.

Seriously she started to annoy me.

 

[Quazimofo]

Had Jack die on my first playthru, but everybody survived in the second run.

yeah. but zaeed died on my first run as well. i just could not settle the jack-miranda fight without taking sides, so i decided i didnt like jack as much. hell, i still couldnt settle it on my second run, she just didnt die because i left all the heavy hitters as meat shields to hold off the guys while i killed the reaper

 

[tautologico]

On my first playthrough, with my "main" Shepard, Tali died. I didn't know the rules for survival, especially how Tali and Mordin are some of the most likely to die if they stay in the last part and are not on your team. (Mordin was on my team at the very end, so didn't die).

This being my "main", I'll keep it this way for ME3, even though I'd really like to save Tali. I also lost Kelly and half the crew because I didn't think there was a timer.

I'll have to live with the consequences of my actions (that's one thing I really like about ME as a trilogy).

The only way everyone can die is if you have absolutely no upgrades and everyone is disloyal. Then everyone including Shepard will die.

In my playthrough, everyone lived. On Insanity. As a Vanguard.

 

[TheDrunkNinja]

Everyone survived, I didn't need a guide. Let's see if I can remember...

Legion was the tech specialist in part one, Garrus the squad leader.

Samara was the biotic specialist, I had Miranda lead the team. Mordin lead the team back.

My party was Tali and Grunt through the whole thing.

I just looked up the wiki on the suicide mission, and it says that Mordin is the only ideal squad member to escort the rescued crew back, as it will ensure his survival. I'm under the impression that there are other ways though... It just wouldn't make sense.

 

[Malkavian]

Lost noone on my first playthrough. Am currently playing through the game agais as Renegade(otherwise known as: Asshole Sheperd) just for the laughs. Don't expect many to survive this time 'round.

 

[Vignirj]

First time through no one died.
Everybody liked me, did all the buddy-quests and it just seemed obvious what to use each character for.

 

[bl4ckh4wk64]

1st time (soldier) I lost Jack (d7on't care) 2nd time and the next 7 or 8 playthroughs no one died. (Sentinel, Adept, Infiltrator.) I think sentinel is my favorite class.

If you leave Mordin or Tali in the last part with the rest of the people fending off the collectors, they will probably die. Mordin is more likely, if he isn't there then Tali. On my 1st playthrough I had Mordin on my party so he didn't die, but Tali stayed and died. I sent Garrus to escort the rest of the crew to the Normandy because I thought it could be dangerous. Turns out that anyone can go, basically, so for this playthrough I should have sent Tali to escort, then everyone would have stayed alive.

It's mostly easy to keep everyone alive, except for this last part.

Well, I guess it makes sense that the last decision would have the highest stakes. Choose wrong and there's no mercy. It just sucks that it has to revolve around the survival of my two favorite characters. D:
