Mass-effect – Why does Zaeed die in the Citadel: Volus Ambassador despite high reputation

mass-effect-3

In the Mass Effect 3 mission Citadel: Volus Ambassador, why does my Zaeed die?

My reputation is very high, but the special conversation doesn't appear.

Best Answer

You have to make him loyal in mass effect 2. This is done by completing his loyalty mission in mass effect 2, before attacking the collector base. He of course, also has to be alive by the end of said collector base mission
