Missions often have a particular order they must be completed in, and the repercussions are severe for players who ignore the game's recommendation.
It can be difficult and even stressful to ensure everything goes smoothly, particularly if players are hoping to get the best possible ending to the trilogy. Others, though, may simply be looking to go full Renegade in their Mass Effect playthrough or perhaps are curious about choices that they haven't made before in previous ventures through the trilogy. As such, certain players could be actively looking for ways to beat the game with the least possible number of survivors, giving the series an ending that arguably fits the war-heavy tone of its later installments.
There are multiple different methods to kill off the maximum number of squadmates in the Mass Effect series. Prior to Mass Effect 3 , the easiest way for squadmates to die is during Mass Effect 2 's suicide mission in the game's final segment. If players are ill-prepared, having failed to purchase the required upgrades for the Normandy and complete every crewmate's loyalty mission, nearly every character, including multiple members of the Normandy's crew, will be killed.
In this scenario, the Normandy's pilot Joker will be left behind as the only survivor. However, it's worth noting that both Shepard and at least two squadmates will need to survive to import progress into Mass Effect 3. There are a few ways to kill off squadmates before beginning Mass Effect 2 , as well.
Shepard's mission on the planet Virmire forces players to choose between rescuing either Ashley or Kaidan; whoever is left behind will be killed. Wrex also has a chance to die if players cannot persuade him to destroy the planet's krogan breeding facility. Investing skill points into either Charm and Intimidate, or having a high Paragon and Renegade score, can help avoid this possibility.
Wrex can also be killed later in Mass Effect 3 , though, even if he's spared on Virmire. When discussing Shepard and Mordin's plans to cure the krogan genophage, the salarian Dalatrass will bring up an alternative method to resolve the storyline, suggesting that players instead sabotage the process to render the cure non-functional.
However, if they do, Wrex will confront them later on in the game, and Shepard will be forced to kill him during the encounter. Mordin can likewise die while curing the genophage, and in fact, typically will regardless of how players opt to approach the storyline.
A heroic sacrifice? Bah, can't have that - death by Collectors it is, then. Jacob: Can't kill him in 3 as far as I'm aware, so adios Jacob, you will be missed. Kasumi: I think I'll get her killed in the suicide mission without doing her loyalty mission just to rub the salt in the wound. Getting her through the SC means she'll be able to sacrifice herself or pretend to for the hanar, which is far too good an end.
We're going for 'bad' deaths here, remember? This would be the worst outcome or best, given the aim of this playthrough is to rack up the highest possible deathcount , but I'm not sure what I select to do it.
Needs researching. Mordin: Muahahaha! I have a choice here. A have him fail to hold the line in 2? B shoot him in the back during Priority: Tuchanka? However, it would be so much worse for the good doctor to be shot in the back by a trusted friend But I haven't seen any of Wiks' dialogue besides the infamous 'krogan mating' scene! Morinth: Killed during Samara's loyalty mission. Zaeed: I'll give him his revenge, if only because it results in the death of Vido and the refinery workers.
This is going to be a bit awkward because then I can't kill him off in 3 if he survives the SC - a loyal Zaeed will kill the mercs threatening Korlack and survive, while a disloyal Zaeed will be fatally wounded in the process. I'll get as many crew members killed by gooing, then not give the survivors a squadmate to help.
I pass up the chance to get a squaddie killed, but this is the only way to kill off Chakwas. Worth it? It depends on if I can get people killed as I need to. I'm not sure which to go for - the first option is more humiliating, but the second option is more visible. Patriarch: While Shepard can't personally kill him, sending him after the Blood Pack gets him killed. Admittedly, it's an honorable death by krogan standards, so it may be more humiliating to make him go into hiding.
Ish: After collecting one of his packages, I can tell Anton to 'clean up the mess', and he kills Ish for me. Thousands of colonists: In N7: Javelin Missiles Launched, I can either save colonists by destroying a spaceport, or kill the colonists by saving the spaceport instead.
Look at all the fucks I give. Eve: I can get her killed by destroying Maelon's research in ME2, because without that she will die from complications when Mordin finishes the genophage cure. Mordin: Ehhh Thane: If he's ignored in the first act of ME3, he apparently dies offscreen and isn't around to save the councillor - it's a bargain, two deaths for the price of one!
Tali: Siding with the geth means she gets to take a long walk off a short cliff, and also results in the destruction of the quarian fleet.
As a bonus, assuming the Starchild is telling the truth, I can get the geth 'killed' by choosing the red cupcake. Congrats, Shepard, you just killed off two species when you could have saved them both! Hey, man, s'what you get for trying to kill me. Kaidan: If I antagonise him about being with Cerberus and refuse to explain the "pointing a gun at the Council" thing, I can shoot him.
Even though I don't want to. Much worse than dying to an Oculus beam, eh? Legion: Sold to Cerberus, so he's reprogrammed into fighting for them. What a humiliating end for such a brilliant character. Liara: I'm going to take her to meet Harbinger, and given that this playthrough will also have as few War Assets as possible, this will end up with her eating a full three-course meal - a delicious starter of tears shed for a fallen homeworld, followed by a nourishing main course of laserbeams, polished off with a dessert of dirt.
This is, in fact, the only way to kill Liara in all three games. James: Same as Liara. This is one of the few deaths in this playthrough I will cheer with all my heart, no regrets whatsoever.

User Info: StarfallShadow. TheSmartBlonde posted No it's not. Garrus Vakarian destroyed the periodic table, because Garrus Vakarian only recognizes the element of surprise.
User Info: Grimno. Yeah it's kinda obvious people will die anyways. The title is not stating who so it's not spoilers If you thought a galatic showdown with the reapers would not have casualties User Info: Fraust. I don't get how the Samara one is relevant. You had to have already killed Morinth in 2 to keep Samara alive anyway right?
User Info: Enforser. Good idea for a topic. In my playthrough, Cortez lived I could contact him right before the final assault. I was nice to him though not in a relationship , so that might be why. I was able to save the Rachni Queen, but presumably she can die as well if you choose not to help her escape. Kal'Reegor dies off-screen in an email. Presumably EDI and Legion die if you destroy all synthetic life.
Zaeed also died in my playthrough. Don't know if it was because I lost his loyalty for going the paragon route in ME2 though. User Info: ielementixx. User Info: Jstretch
