Spoiler: Krogan Scouts or Raeka? Why?
And as followup, how did you resolve the choice with Sarissa? I wonder if people feel differently based on the order they made these choices or made them completely separate things. I also just like ...

Is this a personal question then?
Spoiler
When that option appeared, I actually didn't fell like something I had to ponder on. It almost felt like a no-brainer, actually.
What I saw: a whole Salarian ark under Kett threat. Needed their Pathfinder to save them.
VS
Saving Krogans and not really sure if we would be successful at saving the Salarians. I also considered that most Krogan were safe at Eladeen.
That's how I ended up choosing Raeka. And even after the bizarre tantrum from Drack, I had no regrets, even more after seeing that Krogans were that self-centered, that Drack didn't consider we were saving someone like ourselves, a Pathfinder which could help bringing order in a very much more thoroughly way than Krogan Scouts.

I actually saved the Krogans the first playthrough, and my read on Drack and Kesh's responses was "Wow, someone actually gave a * about the Krogan! I didn't think that was possible." I haven't tried saving the Salariens yet, so I don't know how that goes.

Even if it just ends up as some sort of informal poll or rambling I'll be happy. 😃
I know you had to do the Cora loyalty mission. In what order did you do these two, do you think they kinda morally tie together or not, did the way you went in one make deciding the other easier/harder?

Let me marshal my ideas a bit to get them properly rekindled.
Loadind...
Right.
I did Cora's first. I remember the Salarian ark not appearing that far into the story started to make me wary I missed something.
Regarding what I did with the Asari, I pointed out the fact that other asari wasn't what she pretended to be, Cora enraged about it etc. BUT, I decided having her remaining as a Pathfinder. Thought it made sense leaving her there and prove me right, have a second go, give her a chance, similar to the chance people gave me when I was force-fed a Pathfinding destiny.
If they tie together? I didn't feel any of the ark plots intertwined, at least not in my understanding or my perception. I treated them as completely different and separated things (probably because I did so many side quests in the between). Someone would have to point me out anything that could make me a little more aware of a different opinion.
If one influenced the other? Not exactly. My posture when doing that job was to save as many different species as possible and try to grant their supremacy as much as possible. I wouldn't let Cora's personal feelings nor Drack's interfere with my judgement.
That's how I can answer your questions as tersely as possible. 😉

I trusted Raeka pathfinder's skills more than Krogan shoot stuff and don't die "scouts". If a group can survive without my help, that'd be...
My choice is obvious.
But lemme also argue this additionally with Ashley vs Kaidan. When ME series were ME1 only, I picked "damsel in distress". When biotic explosions became a thing, and the damsel got hollywoodized plasticjobs, I replayed to chose Kaidan. In the upcoming war I needed teamwork damage, not looks and certainly not xenophobia.
SpoilerThe war is coming. Pathfinders won't be needed in it. They must act (properly?) now or never. Experienced or not.That also answers who was my pick in Asari choice.
- SpoilerRaeka every single playthrough. Why?
1) She's a pathfinder, she saved my squad(didnt know this my first playthrough, but now I do, she's an awesome person), vs the krogan scout whom you never met, it's like the staff of your friend.... One of the easier decisions for me.
2) Continuity, if MEA2 does get done and I am still around to play it, then Raeka should be an important part of MEA2, either as a pathfinder or ambassador.
3) Have you seen the Salarian pilot dude that takes over from her if she dies? And they call Ryder Tann's lapdog... That guy's practically indoctrinated by Tann'
Sarissa every playthrough. Reasons:
1) She destroyed a Kett ship with biotics...
2) She destroyed a kett ship with biotics...
3) She destroyed a kett ship with biotics....
Seriously that was the most powerful thing shown in the entire MEA and I am not about to kick her off the team... I cant even remember if I have seen something this awesome in terms of biotic power in the original trilogy.... Samara(I chose her) had a little shield on in ME2 final battle and she was panting away at the end... Also what she did wasn't malicious, it was a call, I felt the call was the right one. Ark v pathfinder... Ark should be the right choice... She did try to cover it up, but hey... if you screwed up at work today and you may lose your job if you dont cover it up, would you?
Whilst the other Rookie gal was learning how to BREATHE...
I will go hug Cora and she will get over it.

I will go hug Cora and she will get over it.Three pretty good reasons. 🙂
My personal dilemma was how do I pick that and not break my second? 😃
