On the Record  Posts: 5754 Joined: 9 Jul 2008   | Couldn't leave candidate 1 any faster. Least favorite backstory by far, |
On the Record  Posts: 5967 Joined: 7 Feb 2008   | I left Candidate 1, they sounded more "ready" to die and I thought leaving Candidate 2 to be slaughtered felt a lot worse. At least Candidate 1 went out in a big explosion. |

Paperboy Posts: 37 Joined: 24 May 2008     | I heard somewhere that Bioware said the candidate you left behind might have outran the explosion. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1083 Joined: 11 May 2008   | Candidate 1 of course... annoying bugger that he was |

Uh... last I checked, they were dying next to the origin of said explosion. I left #1, mostly because I didn't need his class at any point. |

I did the same. His story was the only one that I really couldn't stand to sit through. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1053 Joined: 29 Aug 2008   | I hated Ashley Williams, she pissed me off so much, when I started a new character I had attempted several times to make her leave. When she was seemingly fated to follow me for that first level, I shot at her every time she said something. I never used her again and only talked to her for the purpose of gaining renegade points. (Or to hear Shepherd tell her she fails.) |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2034 Joined: 3 Sep 2008   | My decision was almost purely military. I sent "that guy" to command "those aliens" in "that assault" that went "poorly". Meanwhile, "that girl" was arming a bomb and covering the LZ. Not only did I find "that guy" useless and depressing, but I had a nuclear bomb to arm and a planet to flee so I chose to return to the LZ. Sometimes in war you have to know when to cut your losses and retreat. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1341 Joined: 19 Jun 2008  | "That guy" is a douche. If there's anything that annoys me most, it's his hair. I swear he puts omni-gel in it... and is it me or does he look like Uncle Jesse from Full House? |

In these cases, think in terms of which saved game you're likely continue first in Mass Effect 2
Now that you mention it, I wouldn't be surprised. It would, at least, justify doing a lot of voice recording work for both characters. I wonder if this means the one you left behind is going to be a bit bitter you forgot they existed for the rest of the game. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1165 Joined: 13 Aug 2008    | I spent most of my time as my female soldier [Alegra Shepard] developing a "beyond proffessional" relationship with Kaiden, only to think to myslef towards end: The major thing that got me at the end is didn't have any kind of a relationship with the Dr. T'soni... At all. |

There, there, it'll be alright. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3664 Joined: 21 Jan 2008   | I can't remember at this moment, as I used multiple playthroughs, and thus, left behind one character in one save, and another in the other save... though, my first choice was Candidate 1. |

Yeah, and he butchers Carth's voice. I never even liked Carth that much, but he's way better than "That guy" |

That. Though I don't really care for either of those characters. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1445 Joined: 26 Mar 2008    | Well Ashley shares the same name as me. So i thought "Fuck this! Im not letting a fellow Ashley die! NEVER!!!!" |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1016 Joined: 21 May 2008   | I couldn't stand Candidate #2. Every time she'd have some comment on how aliens are annoying ugly horrible creatures and how God must've created the entire universe except them. |
Copy Clerk Posts: 57 Joined: 26 Jul 2008   | Candidate 1, as he didnt have sex with me... |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 624 Joined: 2 Jul 2008  | I always left Candidate 1, as I connected more with Candidate 2. Also, you forgot someone aswell.
|
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2166 Joined: 2 Aug 2006 | Hmm, you're right, I didn't think about that. It'd be tough to write an ambiguous poll about. Lets just stick to the one which isn't optional. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1705 Joined: 13 Jul 2008   | I let "her" die. I didn't use either of them so I put them in the positions that I felt they would do best in and played it out the way I saw fit. P.S. I saved wrex cause he "wrecks" things (lolololol (I gotta put that in the worst pun thread)) |
Infamous Scribbler Posts: 624 Joined: 2 Jul 2008 |
That would be tough. Either way Candidate two and the aforementioned forgotten one shall be joining me in Mass Effect 2. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 767 Joined: 4 Sep 2008    | It changes every time I play through, depending on how much they both piss me off and whether or not I'm going for a romance plot completion. |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 367 Joined: 14 Sep 2008  | The guy had zero personality and actually seemed to want to die, so I let him. Sadly, I now tire of the other one tediously quoting poetry at me, and am hoping there is an option to let her die in the next one. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1598 Joined: 13 Oct 2008  | I have two characters, and I left a different one each playthrough. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1258 Joined: 24 Jun 2008 | When I started the game I had thought candidate 1 practically had a bullseye painted on him. But he didn't die fast enough when the time came I left him and never looked back. |

Yeah. I didn't like him in the least. |

I'm really trying not to spoil this for anyone.
Spoiler: Click to View
I did a search over Escapist forums with the names of the potential candidates and didn't find any, so I'm guessing we didn't have a poll like this before. (I'm thinking this will be an interesting poll because I assume candidate 1 the most often choice, but I've really nothing to back this up with, so maybe this poll will pull a surprise upset. Of course, the overall ratio will be interesting to look at as well.)
