Talk:Noveria: Peak 15

Alternate Path
Mention should really be made of the way events unfold if the player goes straight to the Hot Labs after meeting Ventralis. I haven't fully explored how this changes the way things happen, but my understanding is that they are different enough to merit their own walkthrough. Any thoughts? 96.249.136.180 22:36, October 26, 2010 (UTC)

Hot Labs optional
It should be mentioned that the Hot Labs are not actually mandatory. Once you've defeated Benezia and release/execute the rachni queen, you can just return to the Normandy. I always skipped them. --Darth Something 17:12, December 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * To be honest I really don't see why. You not only lose out on the exp, but you can learn a bit more about the experiments as well. I beleive there are a few other things that are optional in walkthoughs but aren't mentioned as optional. Lancer1289 17:55, December 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Accuracy and article cohesion must not mean that much to you. You're more about maintaining your power trip. --Darth Something 01:37, January 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * That was simply uncalled for. I mean, really, are insults at all necessary here? Or ever, for that matter? Let's all grow up and learn to converse like big boys and girls, without having to resort to petty insults. SpartHawg948 01:43, January 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * It would be better to call story-crucial missions and assignments mandatory, since the player doesn't get the whole picture if they are skipped. UNC assignments, which are not critical to understanding the story, should be labeled as optional for just that reason. Just my thoughts.

 * Wow I really don't know what to say. Power trip really? I merely give my opinion on something, and note that there are other possibilities that things are not marked as optional, and I somehow get my head chewed off. Again. There was no reason for your comment and to say what you did. Accuracy and cohesion mean a lot to me, considering I wrote the vast majority of this article, and the vast majority of walkthroughs on this site. Lancer1289 02:31, January 3, 2011 (UTC)

Rachni
I don't see a mention of if there are any changes in Mass Effect 2 if you release/kill the rachni queen. If you release her does it effect whether or not they show up as enemies in 2? I also wonder if it has any bearing on 3, but since that game isn't out yet, we'll just have to wait to find out. Esparc 02:55, July 21, 2011 (UTC)
