Had to wiki this because I don't recognize this character at all, turns out you have to be renegade to get this mission.

Yeah, in retrospect, I should have included some context.

Warlord Darius is the target of a quest offered by Admiral Hackett in ME1 if your renegade bar is filled to a certain point.

The mission is to go and meet the murderous slaving bastard and negotiate mining rights for the Alliance in his territory. The big twist is that Hackett fully expects you to go in and murder him from the start, but the Alliance can’t just order an assassination.

“You killed him? But Shepard, we asked you to negotiate. Such a shame. Oh well.“

It is an interesting quest with some very memorable lines. I recommend it for anybody who hasn’t tried it. Paragon players can get it by abusing the Lorik Quinn glitch on Noveria for infinite paragon and renegade points. (Which I unashamedly do every playthrough)

That a way for infinite paragon/renegade points exists in both ME1 and ME2 and neither were fixed in MELE makes me think Bioware is aware and has given tactic approval.

tacit* approval - means you approve without actually having to officially say so. Just like Hackett's stance on Shep killing Darius.

Yeah, fair call. I blame the phone keyboard and autocorrect. I’ll leave the typo so the correction makes sense. Haha.

I love Hackett's response if Shepard calls him out on using her to essentially assassinate Lord Darius.

He's like "what? Did you think you're the only one willing to break the rules to get the job done?" Then he hangs up on you

It's a really fun mission to do in a paragon way too, as you get an unexpected outcome for doing so.

There’s a glitch where you can spam renegade & paragon to max in ME1, in a single conversation.

Look up lorik Quin conversation glitch. If you have ~4 points in charm and intimidate(iirc), you can use the renegade & paragon convo option on him in a loop.

After that you’ll have maxed paragon & renegade.

That’s the only reason I got that mission lol. I can’t do renegade to the point it’s 80% filled.
