Having already had a run in with the press, I could see that being a Council reasoning, even if it is a little contrary. Surely a government that has no problem deploying extra-judicial forces like the Spectres would have no problem keeping an eye on those Spectres? "Policing the police" and all that.
I mean, it took a massacre of their own colony for them to get wise on Saren, and if you look at his backstory he was already doing a lot of messed up stuff.
Plus, imagine the PR nightmare if someone hacks into your database and gets the footage those cameras capture? "Turian Specter tells small child Salarian child to suck its own cloaca before shooting it in the face with a shotgun," is not the kind of headline you want to be reading in the news if you're the Turian council member.
Barbosa Shepard already is.
I hope it's hate fucking. ME1 presents you with very few romantic options, but those options become much, much greater in ME2, not just in terms of quantity but also quality. In fact, through 4 (I think? Maybe 5? Pretty sure 4 though) playthroughs of the trilogy, I still haven't managed to romance some of the options that pique my interest.
I suspected as much and that makes it one of the better dilemmas I have come across in many a game. I do feel like I have been manipulated by what is said about the Krogan as an out and out conquering race but then if there is a decent chance that it is true and given that they have almost certainly been made even more troublesome and angry by the genophage, then a full cure is not the best idea.
Was expecting a few more Krogan in the breeding facility.
Krogan enemies are a bitch to kill, and they only get harder as time goes on. And without a dodge move to get out of the way of their charge, they can incapacitate quickly.
My underlying philosophy with the Mass Effect universe is that life should always be given a chance to succeed. It's why I freed the Rachni Queen, it's why I support pro-Krogan causes over pro-Geneophage causes, and it's why... well I can't say much more without going into spoiler territory (there are some awesome developments in Mass Effect 2 which lead to HARD choices in Mass Effect 3). I try to take the path of least interference with evolution.
I didn't commit to either but I am heavily paragon. There have only been a couple of renegade moments, usually by accident like during the uncovering of the Thorian cave when the colonists attack you. I quickly ran out of anti-Thorian gas grenades and didn't know you could knock them out with a pistol whip. Ended up killing half of them.
Sounds about right for the first playthrough. Your mistake was probably not putting your level up points into the Paragon trait (and why would you, there are so many better things to spend them on), which unfortunately precludes you from things like saving Wrex and talking Saren into killing himself (which is a total cop-out anyway, stop being lazy and kill him yourself!). Luckily, they do away with the paragon/renegade skill tree in the next game and simply measure it by meter. They also introduce a quick time mechanic where you can press a trigger button (left for paragon, right for renegade) to trigger an action that can help someone, hurt someone, make your life easier, make someone else's life harder, do something sexy, do something funny, etc. As a tip, you should definitely almost always try to pull the trigger for whichever type of character you're trying to play as, but it doesn't always hurt to pull the other trigger (for instance, despite playing as a paragon I would pull some renegade triggers when dealing with enemies as it often makes it easier for you to kill them, if it doesn't kill them for you immediately).
