Loyalty Deaths?

[QuariPrime]

So I saved Kirrahe on Virmire, and I heard he can be the one to save the Salarian councilor in ME3 if thane dies. So I decided not to do Thane's loyalty mission in my current playthrough so I could see that happen. I also got Jacob killed because I can't stand him. Everyone else was loyal to me, so I only expected those two to die. Jacob died in the first section, and I took thane with me to the final boss fight, and he died in the following cutscene. I thought I was all good, but them Mordin died (I did his loyalty mission). Why though?? I love Mordin but I didn't want to go through the suicide mission again without knowing what I did wrong to get him killed. Is there a reason for this?

Loyalty doesn't automatically guarantee success.

During the Suicide Mission, the team's overall "strength rating" is taken into account, as well as each of the squad's abilities and upgrades. If you've misjudged or taken the wrong person, this can result in deaths, despite their loyalty and upgrades.

Mordin isn't ideal for frontlines combat, especially if you sent one of your heavy hitters to escort the crew back to the Normandy. Considering that you've also specifically tried to get two highly skilled operatives killed, this has affected the rest of the team and their chances of surviving.

What you're aiming for can still be done, you'll just need to choose carefully and beware of any consequences.

What he said. If you want mordin to survive, send him to escort the normandy crew.

Mordin and Tali are #1 candidates to death if you keep them in the covering squad without the heavy hitters (Grunt, Zaeed and Garrus)

Make sure that Garrus and Grunt are with the crew while your battling the human reaper and it'll increase their survivability. It's also best if you have mordin escort the normandy crew.

I've had Jacob excort and kept Mordin with the rest of the crew at the final fight... Twice ( I took Thane and Miranda) and he's been fine along with Tali.


Keep the heavy hitters with them and problems solved

I just like to do every single loyalty mission because they're pretty much the best missions the game has. But now I wanna try to delay Tali's loyalty mission until after Collector Base because I want to save the crew and bring Legion to Tali's mission.

The bad thing about Suicide Mission is that you pretty much cant take Garrus with you to fight the human-reaper if you want the entire crew to survive.

Garrus ain't that good anyways, get over it

Well, human-reaper only has armor and Garrus have armor-piercing rounds. And he can use Mattock. I'd say he is that good.

I think any team member could be useful depending on your class/build. I perfered people with warp because i was playing an Adept and warp helped eat the collectors barriers so i could CC them easyer. It was also useful that warp damanges armor which worked for Scions and the human-reaper hybird.

As a soilder I did bring Garrus and he was useful...and everyone still lived :)
