Shepard, you DID cure the genophage like you promised, yeah?
>>740236595Bitch I didn't promise anything you silly big ass lizard.
>>740236595Of course Wrex, anything for a friend.>BUHBUBHUBHBBUHT DA KROGAN ARE GONNA-Not my problem. Retiring to Rannoch with my qt Quarian wife who I will be impregnating repeatedly. I look forward to the day my kids get to meet crazy ol' grand uncle Wrex.
>>740236751
Undoing the genophage is the right thing to do because the rest of the galaxy deserves the consequences of krogan overpopulation.They chose to uplift them for selfish reasons. If the universe is fated to be all krogan because of it, that's the path you chose. Don't like it? Don't think sentient life will survive it? Too fucking bad, nature will take its course.Not to mention curing the genophage would go a long way towards not getting genocided when the krogan outnumber you.
>>740237157>throwing all of humanity under the bus because of retarded shit the squids and frogs did before we even made first contactnah
Revert but also add something more humane to reduce their population growth. Like make 10 pregnancies per female the limit, just eggs not getting fertilized past that or something similar. Obviously has to be voluntary. Everyone who doesn't like this can fuck off into unknown regions and start preparing for a war they will start but not win.Force Salarians to add the latter part and exactly that way, with no side effects. Force them to give up a colony for Krogans for every year spent developing past the first year. Turians are obliged to help with building habitats and other essentials for civilians (nothing that can be weaponized and nothing that can be easily sold) for some amount of time/scope. Force Asari to run the logistics of all that.
>>740236595yeah umm about that...
>>740236595no, i let ashley kill wrex in mass effect 1 and then tricked his dipshit brother into thinking i cured it.
>>740237157>deserves the consequences of krogan overpopulationLike them getting too many and warring so you defeat them, beat them back and apply some sort of genophage so they don't do it again?So true
>>740237157>Not to mention curing the genophage would go a long way towards not getting genocided when the krogan outnumber youOr, and now I'm being a little off the wall and crazy with this suggestion, we just prevent the big violent dumbass lizards who can live for thousands of years NOT have the ability to have thousands of children every pregnancy in the first place instead of hoping for leniency in the future? >b-b-but muh bro Wrex will heckin stop them!!!!Relying on one admittedly based dude to tard wrangle an entire fucking species is retarded. Worse case scenario is that he just straight up can't do it, and everything falls apart immediately after the Reaper crisis. Best case scenario is that he can do it for a couple hundred years at best and then some retard takes his places and immediately calls for wars of expansion? The only non-retarded reason to cure the genophage is if you are doing so for specially evil reasons, and spread the most amount of suffering possible like this guy >>740236953. Curing the Genophage won't affect Shepard in any negative way, so if you play Shepard as being a psychopath who doesn't give a shit than curing the Genophage doesn't really matter because the negative consequences will only happen after he has been dead for awhile, thus its not his problem anymore.
>>740236595Hell no. Krogans deserve even worse than what they got.
>>740238002Might-is-right fags are always exceptionally capricious about what constitutes “fair” expressions of might.
>>740236953Your children will know nothing but Krogan cock taste. Hell, not even your children but Tali already since Krogan are fucking vermin.
>>740236595I did, not my problem. If they chimp out again they will be sterilized so hard this time their race will go extinct.
>>740237157>"Let nature take its course!">Krogan bomb their planet into rubble>Krogan bomb some other species>They get bombed back so hard they're brought to heel by force>"N-No, not like that...!"
>>740236953based shepbro
>>740236595Sure, let the galaxy burn, I like my fwend wex.
>>740237157>Undoing the genophage is the right thing to doWould you do the same if instead of Krogans it affected Indians? Yeah, that's what I though, chuddie.
The krogans should be able to breed. You just gotta fucking brainwash and institutionalize the young so they don't follow in their footsteps.
>>740236595Wrex, who fucking hates what Krogans have become, should be skeptical about just magically curing them overnight. The fact that he reverts into "we did nuffin wrong!" at the drop of a hat despite being the first one to call out the fact that the vast majority of Krogans are hopeless fucking retards incapable of even caring for their pets let alone their race is just proof that even the supposed enlightened Krogan who'll lead the masses is just another overly emotional chimp.
>>740236595Yes, also secured the Rachni's survival post-invasion(headcanon), so you guys don't get too bored out there.
>>740236595Yes, and I hope you fuck the galaxy up good and properly this time.
>>740236953>Of course Wrex, anything for a friend.thisYou always get these long posts of anons talking about the bigger picture and repercussions of the cure, but I just wanted to do my bro a solid as thanks for him bring cool during the trilogy.
>>740240170You did your bro a solid by letting his shitty siblings and cousins come into your house to shit on the carpet and set the furniture on fire, that's called being a doormat.
Shepard. The genophage is cured but it turned us all into dinosaurs. Help.
>>740240295>and set the furniture on fireGrunt set a car on fire.Get your facts straight.
>>740240295Sorry but there was a breeding request for me on Tuchanka and I need that krogussy.
can wrex and eve wrangle their entire species to make sure it doesn't happen again?
>>740236595Of course (assuming Wrex and Grunt are alive). Having Krogan on team mankind will be a major boon in the aftermath.No if Wreav is in charge though. Fuck that faggot.
>>740240731Fuck no.
>>740240541Wrex.
>>740240731they can until they die and then the krogan will most likely go back to starting shit
>>740240731Realistically no.But it’s an idealistic campy sci-fi setting and 3 very much makes it clear that it’s the best possible outcome so canonically yes they probably succeed.
>>740240731Yes.
>>740240043The apocalypse was happening so not too far fetched. He also isn't retarded and points out how their race chimping out again would likely just lead to Genophage 2.0 if they made it through the Reaper bullshit
>>740240731Even if their species went nuts again, honestly, the galaxy fucking deserves it.
>>740240043Or that the writing quality has plummeted after the only real Mass Effect game. At least in the large picture scope.
why did they give the robot fat tits?
>>740236595How many times do we need to have this thread?It doesn't matter, regardless.
>>740240043Was it 3 that retconned the genophage from just nerfing their fertility to outright mass stillbirths?Whatever nuance there was on the topic went completely out the window at some point, the writers wanted you to know not curing the genophage was objectively evil and Wrex and Mordin both completely lost their minds.
>>740241173I think it was 2 during Mordin's mission, don't recall 1 ever going into much detail on the genophage beyond Wrex' rambling.
Why can't I choose to modify the genophage to completely genocide the Krogans into oblivion
why the fuck would you ever cure the genophage?>oh sure let's cure the giga aggressive retard race that can't exist for 2 moments without waging war that breeds faster than rabbits
>>740241346Because Wrex is your friend and you’re meant to trust he can recondition his entire species.
>>740241346Unleash them on Salarian homeworld for retribution.
>>740240043On one hand, the Reapers were a real threat and it kind of makes sense Wrex would take an attitude of "We need to breed, or else we stand less of a chance against them"On the other, it's beyond obvious the writers were faggots with subversive ideology that did everything in their power to paint the Genophage issue as black and white, and if you didn't agree with the ideology then you're an obvious mean poo poo head
>>740241409>>740241441And when am i supposed to wake up from my delirious concussion?
Realistically, at that point in the story with the galaxy getting a train ran through it, and every military getting their teeth kicked in by reapers, the possibility of all life in the galaxy going extinct should be well within considerations for all council and non council races. Which makes this entire debate of curing the genophage or not pointless.Nobody in their sane mind would look at the level of destruction the reapers brought upon Earth and Pallaven in such little time and not instantly accept the krogan breeding again.
>>740241471Ideally when you just play the first game and pretend it never got sequels and can headcanon the ending for yourself
>>740241539>play the first gametoo janky 4 me
what was Mordin's reasoning for wanting to cure the genophage?
>>740241686He made a mistake.
>>740241686He was nearing the end of his natural lifespan and wanted to throw the entire galaxy under the bus so he could die without feeling guilty.
>>740241686Regret as he got older. Did the work but hadn't realized the real life consequences, and wanted to make amends.
>>740241686Game reason: Old + dying and wanted to undo what he (conveniently) found was a monstorous mistakeReal reason: Needed Mordin to do a 180 on character for plot convenience and make you feel more of an asshole if you went Renegade on the issue
>creating more for the next war>there will be no peace amongst the stars, only the laughter of thirsting gods you're goddamn right I cured the genophage
>>740241346>oy vey, the goyim are numerous and don't like us for no reason at all, we should shoah them!Shoo, shoo.
>>740241686What can change the nature of a man?
>>740236595Mass effect 3 runs on good vibes and magic so usually yeah. In real life it would be a completely retarded decision that would obviously blow up in everyone's face the nanosecond the reapers were defeated, but mass effect threw logic out the window the minute 2 started.
>>740237157>Everyone has to die because people that weren't them did something.You're fucking retarded.
>>740241852>Needed Mordin to do a 180 on characterThat's how he was from the very start, his work in the clinic on Omega is how he tries to do what he thinks is right and repent.
name a species more deserving of getting chemically castrated than the kroganshardmode:no batarians
>>740242151Volus------------------
>>740242151Humans
>>740242151Vorcha. Likely Yahg or however that's spelled.
>>740242397>what if krogans but actually smartsomebody really liked to always win at the playground
I know Bioware is shit when it comes to some things but Wrex was so well-written and likeable that he people decide to go ahead with a terrible idea just to not betray your bro
>>740242151batarians
>>740241065Wouldn't you?
>>740239565based
>>740242707K
>>740239884krogans are giant, strong, and awesome dinosaur people. indians are indians.
>>740242547The worst part of them is that they were given the tools to leave their world way before they were mentally developed enough to not be an "us or them, period" tier threat. And unlike Krogan they are fairly intelligent and 100% malicious for whatever socioeconomic reasons. Sad. In a few millennia they might have overcome that, but by the point things happen the way they do there is no going back.Fortunately I can consider any part I dislike of ME2 non-canon and their existence in precisely this way is what I choose.
I think if the genophage just caused Krogans to have 1 or 2 kids and didn't cause a bunch of dead fetuses it would be a lot better. Like I think the trauma of seeing a clutch of dead babies is the main issue. But I guess that would be less interesting story wise.
>>740242943based
>>740242943I forget they even exist. A wierd plot thread only used to make the shadow broker a twist
>>740243159Weird how Wrex never thought to mention the stillbirth part to you in the first game.Pretty big difference between that and just going “waaaaaah our females only lay one egg every breeding season instead of 30”.
krogans breeding by the thousands each pregnancy is just too retarded to ignore. the reasons for allowing them to just do whatever is if you were aware of the synthesis ending and wanted to borg them or you are just very friendly with wrex. they should have toned it down if they wanted to make the choice less retarded
>>740242151>name a species more deserving of getting chemically castrated than the krogansI was honestly surprised at how much I fucking hated the Quarians after I was done with the game
>>740243713The impression I got was the genophage basically just made their birth rate in-line with every other sapient species.Krogan are just so violent by nature that they kill each other faster than they can repopulate if they aren’t multiplying like cockroaches lol.
>>740241686he hit his head real hard and got reddit brain.
>>740242151Asari.
>>740236595sure, can i have a trad krogan wife with fat tits? my squadmates are annoying
>>740236595Why isn't there a middleground option like tweak the genophage to keep their birthrates at normal levels they currently are, BUT not having non-stop still births?
>>740246965because that wouldn't fit neatly into paragon renegade, and thus the dialogue wheel (the scourge of RPGs)
>>740246965Imagine how much cultural and philosophical grafts can be compatible with them just from human history alone. They could easily evolve from being simple brutes in general to something so much greater. They could spawn several competing ideologies. Instead we got pussy wagon with a carebearus logo.
>>740236595Salarian, Turian, and Krogan problem. I care about humans.Krogan are violent, but Wrex and Grunt show that at least there are ways to deal with them.Salarians and Turians are treacherous, willing to destroy a species with science bullshit out of fear, and are both on the council fucking with humanity's interests.Growing Wrex's influence is a no brainer. The technologically advanced races are a much greater threat. Creating a Krogan problem for them that is either neutral or favorable to humanity only benefits humanity in the long term.My wife is the shadow borker tho so I guess Asari get to stay as they leech genetic material from Krogans and Humans
>>740248503>Turians are treacherousTurians are stubborn birds with a pecking order. They had a war to win and they used everything they could to save themselves and everyone else.
>>740237157None of that is the problem of humans. It was other retarded races hat uplifted them.
>>740236595Couldn't they just, like, population control the krogan like the Chinese did to their people?Just without the whole snapping of the necks for the girls bit.
>>740236595lollmao
>>740243289Not just that, their existence also >implies had the galaxy failed to stop the reapers the next cycle would have been very cruel and violent because Yahg probably become its dominant species
>>740241065Me3 was really the transitioning point in gaming eras, can have a design like this alongside a token trans character
>>740248847(((Feminism))), college education and career girl memes would be even more effective at stopping the krogan from breeding.
A reminder that Shepard groomed and raped a minor
>>740249708Wrong, Tali is a deep cover spy who seduced Shep.
>>740241686He saw that the loss of life and fostering of a culture where an entire species was expected to keep treading water without hope for the future was more complicated than a math problem where everything just boiled down to subtracting numbers in a lab.
>>740248503Salarians and Asari must be destroyedSome of the Turians are alright. They should avoid Palavan for a little while.
>cure genophage>deport Krogan back to their homeworld>confiscate and destroy all FTL tech on the Krogan homeworld>Krogan can leave in a few millennia when their society has evolved enough to recreate FTL tech on their ownThere's no reason this wouldn't be the ideal scenario, the only reason why you can't is muh Wrex.
>>740236595Of course I did, the krogan species isn't fixing itself with just a bigger breeding pool. They're doomed culturally.
>kill wrex on virmire>destroy the cure in me2>kill eve in me3>convince mordin to not kill himself>all for the express purpose of keeping mordin alive so he can continue finding a way for human-quarian breeding
>Know that Krogans are dumb motherfuckers that would destroy shit if unchecked>But Wrex is such a broMore RPGs should have decisions that challenge your personal attachment to a character by seeing the bigger picture. It IS good writing, the only thing I wished there was more of was in between choices instead of two extremes.
