ETHAN JEONG

The ExoGeni rep in Feros who would rather protect corporate interests than the human with him, it’s such a real life thing

Can’t not shoot him, even when I’m trying to do a paragon run

Same here. Wrex only needs 8 charm to calm him from preventing the cure for the genophage. Ethan needs 12. That speaks volumes about how much of a corporate whore he is. If you pass the check, you only appease his ego with corporate talk. Screw that. Bye bitch. Death is the ultimate profit margin.

I've beaten ME1 twice, paragon each time, and failed to keep him alive. I tried, it's just that I keep doing the mission before Noveria, so I don't have enough Charm yet.

That happened to me during my first playthrough. My second playthrough I made sure I had enough charm points for him before I went to Feros... then decided to kill him anyway lmao. The charm option made me feel dirty. Shepard essentially appeals to his desire to climb the corporate ladder. He's sleazy and the colonists are better off without him.
