10 Most Difficult Decisions You Are Forced To Make In Mass Effect
10. Beat Garrus In The Bottle Shooting Competition Or Let Him Win
This one comes in at the very bottom for being the most heartwarming non-choice of them all. It's as if the game is outright asking you "are you a decent human being, or are you literally the worst person in existence?". In this optional bit of bonding time with Garrus, Shepard and his best buddy Garrus decide to have a friendly competition to see who has the best aim. It's a touching moment, and a welcome break from the bleak horror of the Reaper War. Your choice is simple: hit the bottle, or miss and let Garrus win. The right choice is very clear here. Let Garrus win. Just let him have this one thing. He lost his whole mercenary squad, his handsome face, his homeworld, and possibly even the love of his life if you decide to string him along for sweet turian lovin' and break up later. He has nothing but shooting things. His days are spent calibrating guns and shooting sniper rifles at your enemies, can't you at least let him have that? This moment goes from heartwarming to heartbreaking if you decide to win this friendly little contest. It doesn't matter if you're a heartless renegade or a goody two-shoes paragon, there shouldn't be any iteration of Shepard evil enough to take this from him. You have hundreds, if not thousands of kills under your belt. You've already saved the galaxy once, going on twice. You're a legendary galactic hero who will be remembered throughout space and time. Do you really need to win this? Seriously, just let Garrus win. You want morale to be high when the bottles revolt, don't you?
