Its interesting how if Saren suicides, he dies a quick death, while if you fail to convince him and fight, he ends up impaled by a shard of glass when he falls and dies rather painfully.
The reason why it seemed like a Hero's Death was because it kind of was one. All Saren wanted to do was to not let the Reapers kill everyone, but he chose the dark path.
@CurtH580 you can fight him too but this way it shows that he wasn't going to allow himself to be controlled and this way he is the hero he was trying to be
This was so awesome! When it happened to me, I felt such a strong chill. It was rather suprising, I have to say, Bioware just kicks ass! This was truly unexpected. I felt sorry for the bastard, even though he forced to choose between Kaidan and Ashley. He was but a victim. Not really evil.
@Mr13Xariel No, I haven't read the book Revalations or whatever. But if you talk to Anderson, he'll tell you about his first Spectre assinghment. I think it was an oil rig. Anyway he tell's you how Saren planted a bomb on it that had civilian's on it and blame's Anderson. So they kick him out. And I heard enough from Revelation's to know that he's a fucking asshole to the end. See what I did there?
Umm... I am afraid you responded to the wrong person :) He was talking to the two of us. But still... you see there is that pity of his. I didn't really pity him after all, but it completely shattered my black and white view on him.
I believe you can unlock that much charm only after replaying the game with the same character. I didn't have this dialogue option, even though I had max char possible. Then I replayed and suddenly more available unlocked, so I guess you get this end only if u play the game twice at least.
@Mr13Xariel Nah it's actually possible to do it on one play through. Just have to do enough side quests to level up. Got the chat option on my first play through when I had it on the Xbox.
And here I was thinking I learned all the charm I could. Well, I did, but there was like free empty space, ya' know, like not available any more. And it got unlocked for me only the moment I passed spectre induction second time. Weird. Whatever, I got to it evenetually anyway, and I think it's the best end of all. Made me look at Saren in an absolutely new way. I didn't see it coming.
Dammit what happened to that electronic futuristic music that Mass Effect had like the background music! I mean don't get my wrong, Mass Effect 2's music was excellent but I still can't get over it wasn't reminding me of Daft Punk while I shot geth, etc.
wtf i had to kill him twice...first on that shitty craft where i couldnt hit him much and then as a giant spider thing which had like 9895724398572340957342540 health bars/shield bars
@Adrian28PetersonOWN but didnt you see the ending of me1 he survived because sovereign repossessed him and made him a husk then shepard destroyed his body for permanent.
Sends a chill up my spine everytime I watch this. I can't play this game without having Saren commit suicide. its makes him more of teh tragic hero that he is meant to be.
Hardly.If you two would've read Mass Effect:Revelation, you'd know that he was a relentless, merciless and remorseless asshole even before getting indoctrinated.I don't feel sorry for him, at all.After all the innocent lives he took, he more than deserved to die.
@bf3ftw i read the books too. he was relentless, but also very dedicated to his work. I gottta respect that. Working for Sovereign went against what he believed in.
I wish you had chosen the paragon option for the last one. Telling him that he can still redeem himself seems a lot more dramatic and just better sounding than telling him to kill himself, "if he's got the guts."
I got this to happen when I beat the game, and when I saw him kill himself I literally said out loud (I was the only one in the room) "Holy fuck!" It was incredible.
guys a qusestion, is talis voice changes a little bit? in mass effect 1 it is more electronic, she speaks more slowly, brken english, in 2 she is like a human, quick speaking, etc ,and no thsi electronic werd stuff , am i right?
@chungalungas You missed the point... it matters not, why not to do it? its a game... and it would be boring to only see everyone doing the "good" things, when the game is more than that, the curiosity of seeing what would happen if you did or said something else
@buntado6 Who cares. You still look like an ass. I know it's a game, but like Fallout games i can't bring my self down to killing a guy for his weapon or killing a dad who's got a kid, or even blowing up a town filled with people just for money. If you can well I don't really think games don't get to you and maybe should stop playing. Not trying to fight with you or nothing, just saying.
@chungalungas I know, I cant do it myself either, thats another thing it does well, it inmerses you. Maybe I could do it in a second playthrough but I dont feel like going through all the game again just for that. But there is no reason to complain about someone not taking the same choices, its actually a good chance to see it, seeing it at videos without you having to do it yourself.
@Bleumange But you can judge people over the internet and call them "retarded". By the way, my brother has mental problems so thanks for ruining my day.
@chungalungas Because actually referring to the mentally disabled is uncommon in my knowledge, that's not how I use the word. I still think you're a zealous fuck D:
@Bleumange Still though, you shouldn't say it. You don't know when you're gonna offend someone. I'm also astonished by your ability to get a dictionary and check words from over 500 years from now just to sound smart over the internet. Balls to you, sir.
