I'm currently playing through the loyalty missions, and man I've forgotten how good the Renegade/Neutral endings to Jacobs and Garrus' missions were, the Jacob Renegade one especially because it was actually Jacob's idea to have
his dad kill himself, which made it even more brutal. I remember when I first realised that Jacob was not so subtlety telling his dad to shoot himself being like
When I first made the Renegade choice years back I initially thought that we were simply just going to shoot him ourselves, what I got was way better than I expected and made Jacob go up massively in my estimation. The dude acted like a boss and the fact that he came out of that whole clusterfuck psychologically unaffected made him even more badass.
Garrus' LM Neutral/Renegade ending was also damn good though since once Sidonis talked about how guilty he felt and how he sometimes wished things would end, it completely changed the game and turned the whole thing from a simple assassination into a mercy killing. Sidonis even thanks Shepard for
allowing him to end it all and die, which had me shook man. Both Garrus and Sidonis got what they wanted though, so it's the best ending to that mission.
After this shit, now I'm off to help Zaeed kill an old enemy of his on Zorya and allow enslaved workers to burn to death in the process lol. Those screams hurt my soul man, but all I have to do is remember Balak and I drown the screams out and march on, some people are so just dangerous that they need to be taken out at all costs. The likes of Balak and Vido Santiago are cancers to the galaxy that need to be removed.
On a happier note, I helped Thane and Miranda reconcile with and save their loved ones today lol. Thus is the life of a morally neutral player, you can go from reuniting families one minute to ruining families the next.
