Argh! Mass Effect!
Damn you, Mass Effect. You were *so* awesome, but then this blemish had to appear right on your face. No, you’re not ruined, no you’re not ugly suddenly, but dammit, why couldn’t you have pulled this off better?
If you care not to have part of the plot of Mass Effect spoiled, do not read further!
Krogans are an alien race in ME that were genetically neutered. It’s a pretty big deal, you know, neutering an entire species. There is a krogan in your party. I’m trying to play a “good” character at the moment (Paragon, that is). I landed on a planet where we find out the main villain has… discovered a cure for the Genophage! Omgz! Except, for some reason, my character and all the other characters seem to think that using this cure on the Krogan population of the galaxy would somehow *also* mean the Krogans it is being used on now must somehow be left alone and remain part of the main villain’s army. That is to say, the argument goes like this:
Krogan Crew Member: We should use this cure to save my people!
Me: We can’t do that, idiot! Then Saren would have a huge ARMY!
Krogan: Well, okay. =(
My character, and all other characters, seem to believe that these krogans and the cure for the species should be destroyed, because otherwise… well I’m not sure *what* they think will happen. But killing the Saren-aligned krogans and using the cure to cure the rest of the krogans, for some reason, isn’t an option. =/
