Can you save Mordin and Wrex Mass Effect?
The answer to this question is a resounding no, at least, not both of them at the same time. Mordin and Wrex are both important characters in the Mass Effect series, and unfortunately, their fates are sealed. However, let’s explore the possibilities to save them individually.
Saving Mordin
- Mordin’s fate is tied to the genophage, a genetic condition affecting the krogan and making it difficult for their species to reproduce.
- You cannot save both Mordin and Wreav: Wreav, Mordin’s superior, has to die for Shepard to keep Mordin as the leader of clan Urdnot.
- In order to save Mordin, you must either keep Eve and Wrex alive or shoot Mordin before he can fix the Shroud.
- Eve’s death requires Mordin to fix the Shroud, which causes him to die.
- If you keep Mordin from fixing the Shroud, Eve will likely survive.
Saving Wrex
- Wrex’s fate is tied to his relationship with Eve.
- You cannot have Wrex and Mordin alive simultaneously: Wrex has to die for Wreav to become the leader of clan Urdnot, and Mordin will still die.
- In order to save Wrex, you can keep Wrex alive as long as you don’t sabotage the cure for his species "fertility condition".
- If Wrex dies before reaching the Citadel, Shala’Raan vas Tonbay will replace him as the admiralty of Saladin.
- As long as Wrex reaches the Citadel, he’ll have a chance to influence the council and potentially keep him alive.
Gameplay Strategies
| Options | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Do not sabotage the cure, keep Eve and Wrex alive | Wrex, Mordin, and the cure will all survive, but Mordin will betray Wrex’s trust, causing conflict. |
| Shoot Mordin before fixing the Shroud | Wrex and Eve will die, Mordin will keep the loyalty of the crew. |
| Sabotage the cure, Eve will die | Wreav will become the leader of clan Urdnot, and Mordin, Wrex, and Shepard will experience conflict. |
| Allow Mordin to fix the Shroud and betray Wrex | Eve will survive, Wreav will become the leader of clan Urdnot, and Mordin’s actions will cause conflict |
In conclusion, while we can explore different gameplay scenarios to save either Mordin or Wrex, there is no way to have both of them alive. The story of Mass Effect is driven by the complexity of its characters and their relationships, and sometimes sacrifice is necessary to achieve peace and balance.
