Richard Stanton: I tend to play these games with a sense of irreverence, choosing whatever options seem ridiculous and/or funny. He's dead to me, basically, metaphorically and-pretty soon-literally. Sure, Ashley is, er, problematic in a handful of ways, but Kaidan is so boring that I had to go and look up his name just now.
And arguably my biggest regret as the series rolled on was saving Kaidan instead of Ashley. Letting the council die didn't resolve in a way I was entirely happy with, so good news guys: This time you'll get to live.
The only things I might change happened all the way back in Mass Effect 1.
In fact, I'm happy with most of the decisions I made in my first playthrough, and so I'll probably use this release as a fun nostalgia tour-an excuse to spend more time with my space pals, making exactly the same decisions as before. Phil Savage: Years later, I'm still convinced that romancing Thane was an A+ choice, so no regrets there.
