I don't lie to people in the interviews, but I tend to stick to a positive and optimistic outlook on what we're dealing with. We're facing a lot of crisis and brutal reality isn't always what people need at this time. I wanted to position myself as someone with a sense of purpose, confidence, and direction.

The other arks are missing. A huge portion of our people have been exiled. None of the golden worlds worked out. Our original Pathfinder is dead. The leadership of the Initiative is dead. Now is the time to rally, not focus on how bad things are.

I focused on the solution, not the problem.

I went to Havarl first because I just met the Angara and interjecting myself into their ongoing military conflict with the kett immediately seemed ill-advised. Helping some scientists with Remnant technology on a planet of symbolic importance seemed more realistic of an approach for us immediately, especially since I established a science outpost first.

I also found this was helpful on Voeld as the Angara were a lot nicer to me there because I had already shown I was willing to help them.

I was truthful with dem vids. Tann was upset. I did try to remain hopeful, and encouraging, however. I didn't expect everything to be easy, and neither did anyone else, I guess.

I went to Voeld first. The choice was between "Help some Scientists", and "Rescue the Moshae". Rescue sounds much more urgent. By the time I did everything on Voeld and went to Havarl to check out those scientist, I was like "these guys have been frozen here the whole time while I was mucking about, getting my nomad stuck in the snow?"
