Mass-effect – Rachni in Mass Effect 3

mass-effect-3

I saved the Rachni in ME1, so now in ME3 I have to kill them on a frequent basis.

I'm just wondering, what would happen if I would have killed them? Would they still be there, or replaced by another ennemy? Also, if they are still there, what is the explanation why this species you made extinct yourself in still running around?

For those who wouldn't know what a rachni look like, Heres what it looks like.

And I'm fighting them

Right in the Ancient City of the Krogan, on Tuchanka.

It actually seems saving the Queen in ME1 and then again in 3, will be more beneficial to Shepard.

If Shepard did not spare the Rachni queen on Noveria, the Reapers will artificially construct a Queen thrall in order to control a rachni army. Shepard can choose to spare this artificial queen even if the Commander killed the real queen. This queen will eventually betray Shepard, taking the Rachni Workers War Assets away and decreasing the numerical values of some Alliance fleet War Assets.

As with all "plot" characters that die, they do get some form of replacement, it just so happens her replacement is much more sinister.

Personally, I saved the Queen, which, losing the Krogans sucked ('cept for Grunt's general awesomeness), provided a ton of War Assets added to the cause.
