I'm entering the final stretch of the game now (about to enter omega relay to chase after the Collectors), and I really wanted a completely loyal team. Can anyone tell me if I blew it with Zaeed and Jack?
With Jack, I ended up siding with Miranda during their little spat, and now she's pissed at me, despite doing her loyalty mission. When I talk to her in her room, there's paragon/renegade option that I still can't select yet ("It was lip service"/"I like you angry")...will choosing one get me back in favor with her again?
And for Zaeed, I started his mission immediately after talking to him on Omega. I chose the paragon route to save the innocent workers and his target ended up getting away. Was that his loyalty mission, and did I screw it up by not helping him get his revenge?
Without giving up big spoilers, will all this botch my attempt to save all my crew?
Mass Effect 2
Game » consists of 21 releases. Released Jan 26, 2010
After a violent death by an unknown force and a timely reanimation by the human supremacist organization Cerberus, Commander Shepard must assemble a new squad in the seedier side of the galaxy for a suicide mission in the second installment of the "Mass Effect" trilogy.
Jack and Zaeed loyalties *SPOILERS*
Don't know for Zaeed but for Jack, if you can't select it then you're in trouble. I had the opposite happen in my play through, went for Jack and pissed of Miranda. Even if you have already done their mission, if you can't get through to them in that particular conversation when Jack and Miranda are going at it, then whoever you piss off you lose their loyalty. Sadly I have bad news there as from what I hear, the only way to get it back is if you have 100% paragon or renegade. So.. sadly, yeah think you lost that loyalty.
Oh the ramifications of choice are awesome! (Disappointing/frustrating maybe too :-P)
" @Jeffsekai: Hah, I sorta went the pussy route. Actually, I like to play my first run through just answering honestly, without a particular paragon/renegade status in mind. At this point, my paragon levels are about 75% and my renegade is 40% or so. "Then until you get them higher your kinda fucked. just don't assign her anything important and you should be fine.

You definitely don't need 100%.
@Maxszy: Yeah, I usually save the paragon/renegade runs for after my first playthrough just to see the different conversation possibilities. I wish there wasn't a handicap for playing true to yourself though...maybe ME3 will find someway to reward people who are more 50/50 on their good/bad status as well.
Don't worry about it. Even if they are loyal, they can still die at the end. I had a 100% loyal crew, and I still lost 3. Just play through it and if you're really bummed out, try to correct the mistakes on a second playthrough
