Jeg digget Tuchanka-oppdraget så mye at jeg måtte blogge om det, men jeg har ingen blogg, så jeg bare skriver det her jeg.

Spoiler :

Priority: Tuchanka is the game’s strongest mission. If the rest of the trilogy has made you feel like your choices didn’t matter, this mission will quench your thirst for non-determinism. In the outset of this mission, the salarian dalatrass gives you a choice in whether to help the krogan or secretly betray them. However, you don’t have to make the choice then and there, a rare pitch for a Mass Effect mission – you can’t tell the dalatrass to stow it, but instead she tells you to “think about it”. And think about it you must; as the mission progresses, you’re twice given the option to tell on her to the others, or keep the possibility of your betrayal a secret, making you feel like you’re actually the one holding the cards. As an added bonus, your choice ultimately leads to an actual, tangible consequence: You have to choose which of the two coolest characters in the Mass Effect universe you want to live; Wrex or Mordin.

On my first playthrough of the trilogy, things were made slightly easier, as Wrex had already died on me in the first game, gunned down by that xenophobic bitch Ashley – whom I later sacrificed as punishment – while I watched, unable to stop her because I lacked the Paragon points; a result of trying to play the middle ground, I guess; after I was unable to select the grayed-out Charm dialog option to talk sense into Ashley, I played a straight-up Paragon for the remainder of my fight against the Reapers, cementing the black-and-white outlook and removing my feel of shaping Shepard’s journey significantly. Because of this fateful moment so many years ago, my choice in this mission should seem straight-forward: Given the choice between killing Wreav, Wrex’s hellbent motherfucker of a cousin, and Mordin, the funniest character in the history of video games, who’d kill Mordin? Sadly, another choice made a long time ago in Mass Effect 2 made sure the krogan cock walked out of the mess alive. Because I played a through-and-through Paragon after the mentioned plot point in the first game, I also took the noble route and saved some research data on the genophage in the previous game, making it impossible for me to save the kick-ass doctor.

So many threads converge on Tuchanka. Choices made in both preceding games make everything more complicated, but also a lot more poignant, of course. With this single mission, BioWare fulfilled the promise they gave us, and which they so far had just waved off: Your decisions matter.

Besides that, of course, this mission has krogan fighting rachni like the good old times, running over a field with a Reaper towering above you, the mother of all Thresher Maws being called to the battlefield in an obvious homage to Dune, and a final resolution to the genophage plot point that has loomed over all three games. And while I shed a tear for my old pal Mordin, the way he shrieked “I MADE A MISTAKE!” and then rectified that mistake as the last thing he did while singing his quirky version of Gilbert and Sullivan was beautifully done. My cap off to you, BioWare.

Now, about that ending...
