Title: Lamest ways to die while playing Mass Effect
Description: What is it for you?

I'm bored and I don't have the mental capacity to roleplay. i don't know if this would be considered worthwhile, but I need something to kick-start my brain.
Well, for me, I was on Eden Prime. It was my fifth character, and I thought I knew my way around pretty well. I chucked a grenade at a couple Geth that were behind cover. My aim was a little off and I went "Crap" as it stuck to the cover that the geth were behind.
Then my brain reset. It does that sometimes. I completely space out for a few seconds, then come back to reality having forgotten the events of a few minutes ago temporarily. It usually doesn't happen during something important, but now, it did. In the middle of a fight... I got my bearings soon enough but I hadn't quite grasped that the grenade was still blinking innocently on the wall.
The Geth moved and I ran to the other side of the cover that they were on, and I started to hear a beeping noise. I wondered what it was, so I looked down and had just enough time to shriek in shock before it went kablooey beneath my character's feet, owning her level 3 Adept butt.
Lamest. Death. Ever.

Haha, thats great. I blow myself with grenades a lot too. But they never kill me.

XD
I know, right? She'd already been softened up by the Geth, so the grenade finished her off. It was pitiful.

Noveria, Male soldier, just earned power-gamer, killed all the commandos, about to deal with Benezia in an awesome-explodey-sniper ammo way, and 1 single geth sniper, 1 JUST 1! Pops out of cover, and assassinates me. God damn robot, your mother was a toaster!!!!!!

Driving along the Prothean Highway. I jumped, landed on a wrecked vehicle, jumped again and 360'd off the edge...

@Stygium: Just one? Gawd, and lone geth are supposed to be stupid.
@Krogan: xD. Hoppers take up so much of my concentration, I've gotten beaned like that once or twice. Don't even have a sec to look at the radar.
@XP: I can't count how many times I've come within a hair's breadth of screaming death on there. Once I purposefully drove off the edge to see if I could land on the other skyway so tantalizingly close. I phail'd. XD

I did something like that.
I was aiming at a group of armatures, when I suddenly drove off the edge. The worst part was the fact that I hadn't saved in two hours.

(I once drove into the lava on the world were you save Liara, but that dosnt count, it was on purpose.)
Ok, most embarresing death/s for me are: 1.Liara's dig site, beaten the Krogan Battle master and almost all the Geth, I get out in the open and shor by a sniper.
2.Novaria, I used throw on a box, hoping to squish a commando, it was then I learned that they had biotics when the commando threw it back at me, killing me

KARMA....

Once I drove on top of the dragon's teeth and all of the Mako's life was absorbed. Most of my stupid deaths involve the Mako....

*Eye Twitch* Drop agrenade for an asari commando, who charges me. I blow it, and take the Asari, Garrus, Kaiden and myself for a deathtrip with some explosive barrels.
Spinderfly - April 1, 2008 10:27 AM (GMT)
Same for me. Once, I was on an uncharted world--!!ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DIE FROM HAZARDS TO NAVIGATION THERE!!-- and indulged in my habit of using the jets as I ran off the top of the cliff. It's fun. Well, not to high-strung Garrus and Kaidan, who were with me at the time.
Unfortunately, it was to get away from a Geth outpost as I had only a sliver of health left. I hit the ground and exploded. xD
Leo XV - April 1, 2008 12:12 PM (GMT)
Oh god, Ive been there, I had taken my Infiltraitor (who had throw), Garrus and Tali on a mission with Rachni (one of my... not so smart moments.) and from the starting point I go to the right. I then jump jet off a set of mountins and... actually, Ill let this dialouge I made up explain it.
Garrus: Commander I dont think this is a good idea.
Shepard:Oh come on, whats the worst that could happen?
Tali:Well actually...
Shepard:Too late! (activates jump jets) Wheeee
Garrus:(looks out of the window, sees where they're about to land) oh fu-
The Mako lands RIGHT ON TOP of the thresher maw... it was funny though, I got the maw killed too.
Stygium - April 1, 2008 03:44 PM (GMT)
I dunno Leo, thats a pretty freakin' cool way to die!
Imagine the funeral,
'Aw, he looks just like he made the jump'
or the thresher maws...
Horatio-Thresher maw: Well, what have we got Mr. Maw?
Maw: Looks like someone slammed his skull flat! With a tank!
Horatio-Thresher maw: *throws on sunglasses* well, it looks like the humans made a leap... of murder.

Not exactly a death but it might have well have been.
The wall between the lockers and the medbay on the normandy has screwy collision detection. I got stuck in it and i hadn't saved for a while.
A while being about an hour and a half.
Spinderfly - April 2, 2008 07:07 PM (GMT)
xD
Whoops. I did that once. I was like "WTF!" But thankfully I save every five minutes. Almost literally. o_o

I have one. On my offline account (I just got Xbox live so my 58 solider is basically rotting right now) I was doing Feros for the first time. I think thats the name of it, the one with the mind controlling bug. Anyway, I didn't take the Mako the first time thinking I wouldn't needed.
Made my way almost all the way across (using a combo of sniping and hiding to regen health) and was hiding behind cover. Well I peaked out to see one of the Geth Armatures and to get my aim right so I could just pop and shoot, my sniper rifle over heats after every shot. Well, little did I know the damn robot had fired its plasma energy ball thinger and WHAM. Face full of it.
If I had waited about 2 more seconds I would have missed it, I moved out just as soon as it reached my area and gave me no time to react. So yea . . . I think I shut the game off at that point in shame for not seeing the blasted thing.

i never die. and i'm on insane with a level 1 character.
I AM GOD.

Lamest way to die while playing Mass Effect is your XBOX overheating and getting a red ring of death.
Athena - April 7, 2008 11:01 PM (GMT)
Enterprise... that is the ultimate death during ME... and I pity you for it *hug*
As for me: it was firing through the scope of a sniper rifle as a Krogan Battlemaster came up behind me and beat me to death. I don't even know how he got behind me; he must have spawned or something. What made it bad though was the fact that I had Wrex and Ashley, both with shotguns, working right next to me and shooting the damnable krogan, yet the bastard didn't die!
Some help my teammates were...
xp194 - April 8, 2008 07:19 AM (GMT)
Therium, the bit where you face off with the Armeture.
My squad and I were hiding behind boxes, cowering for their lives (this was like, my first mission other than Eden Prime, yesees.)
Anyway, I decided to pop out from cover to shoot at it, did so, and met a blue glowing ball of killiness going the other direction.
Damn.
Whats more, I hadn't saved since the start of the level...
Samtheman - April 13, 2008 05:46 AM (GMT)
I had just started my way to Peak 15, and I didn't realize the map curved and I flew off the cliff and died a horrible fiery, snowy-ish death! Luckily it auto saves just as you leave the hanger...
Thanatos - April 16, 2008 05:09 PM (GMT)
It is stupid to die in ME regardless... =/
Stygium - April 16, 2008 06:54 PM (GMT)
You can't seriously be saying you never died Thanatos. thats just ridiculous! Is your powerlevel 'OVER 10,000 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"?
