Mass Effect 2 - Overlord DLC - Paragon Ending

[TFZJoakim]

My brother is autistic. This mission made my heart ache and made me love him more. Even if this is just a game.

[Buccura]

@TFZJoakim I'm in the same boat as you.

[GreatOldDesire]

One of the starkest moments of any video game I've ever played has to be David's voice echoing "It all seemed harmless" as the screen fades to black

[BoredandTired81]

Out of all the outcomes of all the quests, this one is the most emotional one, it had me down to tears and anyone who doesn't find this scene upsetting has issues, game or no game, bioware have always had the skills to make game stories appear emotionally real and this quest is the proof of that.

[agentsarah6]

I will admit to being moved to tears by this mission. The final shot at the end is heartbreaking. It's almost as if David Anders is staring you in the eyes.

[davesouthable]

this is one of the only parts in a video game that made me feel sad. for a person that's not real. altho it might be that my name is also David

[tricksterhuaun]

Wow, forget Saren, the Reapers, and the Illusive man.

Archer just mess with his autist brother's mind for a twisted experiment, HE'S the motherfucker villain in this game

[smnoy23]

Imagine if someone only knew what the interrupts were, and not the plot. "Wait, pistol whipping this guy is PARAGON? What the hell did he DO?"

[WelshTard]

Bioware was spot on portraying the darkside of human nature. I shed a tear after seeing this..

[WelshTard]

Bioware was spot on when . The dangers when science and mora

[Samseneider]

o will download it short before Me3 like the arivvel :)

[commanderelite]

seeing this got me really emotional because I have a brother thats autistic and seeing what that ass hole would do to his brother made want to kill him, I mean how can you do that to your own brother, your AUTISTIC BROTHER, that guy was a complete ass

[Ddangerdan]

The sight of this can give even the bravest soul nightmares.

[holycow343]

what happens if u did not right click when the blue mouse pop out?

[mrcodypettit]

@holycow343 she did that

[rhymenoceros3303]

kylelapensee i heard something happens if you lose the boss fight can you upload that

[BioniclePredator2]

Fuck Dr. Archer! That bastard forces his autistic brother into an experiment and he's left helpless? He's a fucking prick.

[VERMILLIONI]

illusive man.. and everyone says Jack is the psycho

[ArbyArthur]

@iTzForty Sometimes it's weird

[prickly10000]

This made me cry. To do this to anyone is just so

[FerrisKatic]

In ME3 can we just send the illusive man into a sun or something? >:C

[emiliolocura2]

@FerrisKatic Lets kick him into that pretty Blue star I made for him when I blew up the Collector Base

[Giok8]

This DLC is very morbid.

[MrGRB96]

this is so far the only time i've ever cried at a game

[Jamaicobs]

The rest of the DLC is kinda mediocre, but the ending made me cry

[ArbyArthur]

@Jamaicobs Me too

[HatedSovietLion]

I am a renegade character all the way and I literally cried when I saw this and this was the only paragon decision I made throughout my entiere playthrough.

[BastiChillerWue]

Let's hope that we get to fuck up the illusive man motherfucker at the end of ME3.god I hate that bastard

[METALGS1405]

a just finished overlord. The end is one of the most sad ones i´ve seen in a videogame. Other option is the death of ghost and roach in mw2. But this was to much.

Im starting to hate cerberus and the illusive motherfucker.

[ConnorElzaim]

This 'and' Lair of the Shadow Broker are my favorite DLC's from Bioware to this date. Speaking from the perspective of someone who was diagnosed at an early age as high functioning on the autistic spectrum this ending really strikes home for me. It is such that I doubt on other play throughs, if I could go about being a renegade in this situation.

[BuckyRitualist]

whenever i reach the ending here, it nearly makes me cry :[

[uniongrunt]

What happens if you dont do the paragon interrupt. Does it shoot him?

[bennyboy274]

You know you've done bad when Shepard's paragon interupt is a slap across your face with a pistol.

[Zarkovagis9]

okay i'm going to man up and say this: i wanted to cry when i saw this...that is all...

[rolln2013]

@Suprnovo3

More than what millinniummany said, many autistic people, lacking many aspects of intelligence, make up for it with one specific area of genius. These are called autistic SAVANTS, of which many make up a large percentage of the autistic population. Some are brilliant in art, science, even math. Some are among the best of the best in their area. David, for example, is a savant, and thus has the crazy ability to talk to geth and do math.

[gavinhalo]

@Suprnovo3 they can and what do they get for that worst then deth.

[darkstar3x16]

There is nothing renegade about pistol whipping someone. He was shooting at you and taking him out without killing him is as paragon as you can get. lol

[TubaBean]

You know someone fucked up if the paragon interrupt has you pistol whipping someone.

[Acceptall]

@TubaBean

I agree.

[9046Michael]

NOO! You didn't punch him. :[

[Deathsorerr]

Square root of 912.04 is 30.2.

[theQuestion626]

This was one of the most realistic and memorable parts of the genius that was Mass Effect 2. The way this story was woven, the way it played out, the way it just hit you full force in such a subtle way at the end...truly brilliant. I sobbed when I saw poor David. All in the name of progress. There has to be limits. There are always alternatives.

[Roddyn5]

This is the only ending I will ever go with as I will never go renegade for this mission as to go renegade for this mission is truly horrible.

[caralon3105]

@Roddyn5 What would have been an interesting choice was if the on screen paragon wasn't used, Shepard kills Archer with a bullet to the head. Doesn't it make more sence given the situation?

[Dooland1991]

@Roddyn5 i was running a full renegade playthrough when i first encountered this, i couldnt bring myself to do the renegade option, i even sat there thinking, its ok il do paragon next time and coudnt bring myself to choose it, this was one of the most emotion moments in gaming for me, only moments that have come close so far were Dom and Maria in GOW2 (if you played it, you will know what im talking about), and a couple others (not many)

[Shadowchu098]

@Dooland1991 really all the renegade option does is slap the evil brother and leave the poor man with his brother, but even still youd have to skip a bunch of things just to choose renegade so you wont hear it

[sonicsega555]

@Roddyn5 I know your comment is a year old but i just have to reply, even renegade Shepard bitch slaps Archer, that says something.

[Roddyn5]

@sonicsega555 I know, I've gone through this mission about 4 times now and I've never gone renegade ending but i always pistol whip him for what he did.

[spectreshadow]

@Roddyn5 I did it once..my god it really is.

[TheFreelancer117]

that is really, really, really, really, sad
