Is 1.776 actually possible ?
Yep, its possible, a failed N7 Shepard should look like this:



Let's start
What you need to do in ME1
ME1:
  • Don't do/ignore anything that is not in ths list, just speedrun the game, as not many thing are important in ME1

  • Ignore or punch Khalisah Al-Jilani
  • Kill the Rachni queen on Noveria
  • Kill the colonists on Feros
  • Kill Shiala the asari on Feros
  • Recruit and keep Wrex alive on Virmire
  • Let Major Kirrahe die on Virmire
  • Let Balak escape during X57: Bring Down the Sky
  • Save the council

  • Fast road:

  • Eden Prime => Citadel => Council => Barla Von => Meet Wrex => Choras Den => Tali => Normandy (If you want to recruit Garrus, he will be in front of the elevator)



  • Liara => Nothing particullar, you don't have to kill the enemies. Also, you can skip the end with the mako



  • Noveria (Bring Tali or Garrus for electronic) => Enter => Speak with Opold (Hanar seller) => Take the crate => Speak with Anoleis about the smuggling => Get the pass => You can now go to the mako



  • Noveria peak 15 => Just rush and open the door (level 1 electronic required)



  • Before Virmire => Go to Argos Rho => Phoenix system => Tuntau => Pirate base to get the Wrex family armor (level 1 decryption required - Bring Tali or Garrus)



  • Virmire => Do not use renegade line, now because of Wrex family armor, Wrex will be loyal without having to negociate (Also, don't forget to let Kirrahe die)



  • Feros => Do main quest only, don't stop on the way to the base => On the way back, you have to stop and speak with Jeong or the door will not open => Kill the colonists (1-2 alive is ok)

What you need to do in ME2
ME2:
  • Do not use paragon/renegade option
  • Ignore or punch Khalisah Al-Jilani

@Dave For what I remember, only dialogue in ME3 change
Emmental 18 Jan, 2022 @ 1:59am 
Would there be any downside to doing the rogue VI mission in ME1 just to get the prestige class? I can't see any war assets associated with doing that at the moment.
Emmental 2 Jan, 2022 @ 3:28am 
I tried to do something like this myself years ago for the lulz. There's a few tid bits here that make it even worse good work.

So much effort for worst (?) outcome
Fentanyl Enjoyer 31 Oct, 2021 @ 6:47am 
so much work just to lose the game.

Great Work :)
