I never get any attachment with William or Alenko so typically go with saving the higher ranking/longest party member, Alenko. My first run I used mostly logic. Kaiden's the calmer, more tactical mind (and he outranks Ash), so he's better to help coordinate attacks (which leaves Ash with the bomb). When the time comes to evacuate, you're effectively choosing to either pull Ash out alone, or evacuate Kaiden AND Kirrahe's men (mechanically, that's not necessarily true, but narratively, that's how it should work out). On top of which, Kaiden IS the ranking officer, so is technically a more valuable asset in purely logistical terms. The fact that she's a somewhat blacklisted grunt while he's a powerful biotic with a sterling service record also swings that ball into his court. A purely dispassionate, unbiased analysis would probably lead to saving him 100% of the time. On a more visceral level, I've never disliked Kaiden as much as some people do, and Ash has always been slightly irritating (more so when you never play maleShep, so she's never a potential love interest). She's also pissy to Liara early on, which sways me even more negative when I'm actively romancing her at the time (which is 95% of the time). And Ash dying on Virmire actually completes her character arc more thematically than it does for Kaiden. So Ash bites the dust in almost every single run I've ever done.

The one hidden to the side in C-Sec traffic control? The one hidden in the back passage in the Financial District? InfestedAdam posted... "Probing Uranus" Always gives me a chuckle. Really, Shepard? InfestedAdam posted... but I almost hated the ones involving the Thresher Maw. Dunno how many times I had the Mako almost instagibbed from those critters. If you think that's bad, try and make a habit of whittling down their health almost to death, then jumping out of the Mako and fighting them on foot, so you can get double the XP for the kill. My last few runs, that's how I did pretty much every Mako combat. Geth Colossus? Ridiculously powerful missile turrets? Take them all out with a pistol and roll around in the XP. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:904432607] in playing th...
