Why do they keep letting Dan play Mario Party on the site why
They actually seem to be having a lot of fun with this game. I think Jeff's seething hatred of Mario Party kind of colors the mood when Dan is in the west coast.
For all the hand-wringing people do about Ashley being "racist" in ME1, everybody sure does seem to give Mordin and his "justifications" a huge pass.
Add some vague scientific-sounding justification to your imperialist genocide and it turns out most people are cool with it.
The whole genophage storyline (along with the Quarian/Geth storyline) is probably the hardest to grasp with in the ME universe from a moral standpoint. The Krogan were about to overrun the galaxy after the rachni-wars so I assume the Turians/Salarian/Asari paniked. They didn't have the military power to fight back the Krogan and don't forget the Krogan originally had an incredebly high birthrate. If they had done nothing the milky way would look quite different in ME1 + 2 ... So the genophage probably seemed like the "perfect" solution. Like Morin said: The easily could have wiped out the Krogan with it. Then again: The Salarian uplifted the Krogan and made this a problem in the first place. Who knows how Krogan society would have developed on a normal timescale?
It's a brilliant storyline. And you can tell that beneath all his justifying Mordin had a hard time with the morality of it all (that becomes very clear in ME3). This is Bioware at its best!
And Mordin literally says in this mission that he has had hard times sleeping at night.
