Earns Reaper Heart War Asset, which makes the Destroy ending in Mass Effect 3 more likely.The obvious choice appears to be destroying the Collector base, but the Illusive Man recommends using a radiation pulse instead so you can salvage the base. Mass Effect 2: Destroy Collector base or use radiation pulseĪll the endings involve the same set of choices about dealing with the Collector Base. Failing some or all of these will earn the normal ending, where some crew members die, or the worst ending, where Shepard dies as well. The requirements for each depend on raising your crew’s loyalty and how you build your crew for the suicide mission. The Mass Effect 2 endings are a bit more complicated and can be broadly classified as best, normal, and worst. It’s a mix of humans and other races if Shepard is mostly Paragon. Whichever choice you make the Council will be entirely human if Shepard is mostly Renegade. Anderson and Udina still retain their positions regardless of choice, but you won’t see the rest of the Council in the other Mass Effect games. The Council also dies if you choose to concentrate on Sovereign, but you get Paragon points instead.

This choice also has little lasting effect aside from slightly altering attitudes towards humans in Mass Effect 2 and giving different War Assets in Mass Effect 3. Mass Effect bad ending: Let the Council die or concentrate on SovereignĬhoosing to let the Council die earns Renegade points. You’re asked in Mass Effect 2 who Shepard chose, and that’s the one that locks the councillor in. Shepard then chooses the new representative: Udina (Renegade choice) or Anderson (Paragon). The Council publicly expresses gratitude to Paragon Shepard and does so in private for Renegade Shepard, though it doesn’t really matter. Humans gain some representation on the Council as a result. Shepard and their crew focus their efforts on answering the Council’s comms call for help and protect the Destiny Ascension. The Paragon decision is saving the Council.
