I hate how the only two options for this quest are to be a cackling genocidal villain or be a retard who just lets the queen go with all the trouble she could cause. And then I go to the best squad member in the building and he gives me the perfect third option; leave it to the council. That means the developers thought of this as a third option and wrote this line of dialogue to suggest it. Why couldn't we have just called in the krogan breakers to deal with the queen? maybe if she was already on the loose, or if her sedatives were wearing off and she could just escape on her own, it would make more sense for the only options to be either terminate her, or unleash her.
>>4152053Common issue for Bioware games.
>>4152053>That means the developers thought of thisAnd here I thought thinking was the only limiting factor when it comes to production. Now I don't know what to think.
>>4152053Wasn't there something about the context that implied killing her would help with the current situation on Noveria, like you can't trust her because the rachni bugs were still hostile and you have to go kill more of them
>>4152118shepard acts like (s)he's doing it for the dark side points
Why can't Shepard just call the Normandy and have the Council patched in to make the decision?
>>4152228Why patch them in at all? It's up to the executive board to decide whether the facility and everything in it should be destroyed or preserved.
>>4152228Because he isn't a bitch
>>4152236Don't call Kaiden that. He broke a turian's neck one time out of pure instinct.
>>4152228Storm cuts the communication between the peak 15 and the rest.
>>4152543In a level 1 and even a level 2 hazard on uncharted worlds, joker is still able to tell you that you are leaving the mission area. Normandy has special communication fleems.
>>4152053The whole place needed to be destroyed anon. The option to leave it to the council wasn't on the table.
>>4152607Where is that made clear in the game?
>>4152053>GenocidalThe Rachni themselves are insanely dangerous and have been known to wage war on every other race in the galaxy>Leave it to the CouncilAside from the fact that you're the agent on the ground who acts with the Council's full authority, you can't really punt on an issue like that that needs an immediate solution. Especially not to people who refuse to take steps to prevent an immediate threat to galactic safety.>>4152623The queen herself asks you to do it.
>>4152053Reminder that opening a Mass Relay led to finding the Rachni, who then started to beat the shit out of the Council races, which is why the Salarians uplifted the Krogan to fight the Rachni, which pushed them back into their corner of space, but then the Krogan started to fuck up the Council races, so the Salarians sterilized them, and then the Council decreed no more opening Mass Relays, which is why the Turians attacked humanity when we tried to open a Mass Relay, leading to the Contact War.Killing the Rachni as a human is a morally GOOD decision because they ultimately embarrassed us on a galactic scale.
>>4152651The hot labs is an entirely different area.
>>4152651I don't think you paid much attention or you just don't remember. Shepard acts like robert de niro in this boys life. That's what i meant by cackling genocidal villain. It's not the decision itself but the way shepard and the crew and everyone else treat it. Whatever you think about it is irrelevant because you are not the characters in the game.
>>4152596Had to recheck, Peak 15 cut contact on it’s own, and bad weather stopped shuttle and ground access. Since it’s an isolated site it’s not hard to assume they had com jamming to prevent data leaks, especially after you already entered the facility.
>>4152053There was no point in killing the bug queen while releasing it to do whatever the fuck it wants without any obligation was idiotic. It's a political thing. Keep in mind there's an ongoing war against geths and a looming threat from an armada of inorganic space monsters.Why, yes, miss bug, you can crash on that useless asteroid over there while we deploy some orbital cannons to ensure peaceful cooperation with your kind in the near future.
>>4152695Then I drive for 5 minutes to port hanshan and call the police
>>4152699With these gas prices? That’s coming out of your pocket.
>>4152701Dr Michelle is my financier.
>>4152665Humanity hasn't reached industrial age yet when the rachni plagued most of Council Space.If they found Earth during that time, Earth is fucked even in the 21st century.
>>4152623It becomes apparent when you talk to the surviving NPCs and realize the rachni has gone from being isolated in the hot labs, to now be everywhere, including the tram station. But later on, the Queen says it in dialogue and Yaroslev confirms it.
>>4153405You also learn that the rachni will freeze if they go outside.
>>4152114It started with bad management and unrealistic expectations and 20 years alter, well, here we are.
>>4152053You need the council’s approval to squash a bug?
>>4154781Nobody said need.
