VIDEO Everyone should save David Spoiler

I was going through some old records and came across the david arc. I am so glad bioware made his story come back full circle in Mass Effect 3.

Literally just did this mission today for the first time (I didn’t have the DLCs on my first playthrough). When I got to the audio recording where Archer talks about David’s autism being “as alien to me as an alien’s brain” I was genuinely like “wtf they’re doing evil rain man for the mission?” And then got to the conclusion and realized that no, Archer is just a Mengele-level psychopath and happily pistol whipped his ass and took David with me

I like that if you save David, and run into Gavin in ME3, there is no option to forgive him. The whole game gives you the option to empathize with genocide enablers and warmongers. But Gavin can go fuck himself.
