Question though: I actually haven't used the Prisoner system at all, so I was curious how it worked, I just didn't want to put any time or resources into something that might wind up sucking anyway, cause from the sounds of it, just having generic no-name characters doesn't sound very appealing. I want to know how you think of it.

It's not having generic no-name characters, it's having disposable infantry in the form of generic no-name characters. Why send a valuable asset into possible death when you can send Level 12 Spear Fighter into certain death, but whittle the enemy enough to take down with someone else?

Mordin's where it's at, bro. Guess who died the first time I did that mission

Originally, I never understood how people had any deaths on that mission, as I managed to go through it without any fatalities the first time.  It was only later that I learned that the "Hold the Line" segment is based on a hidden calculated defense value, in addition to loyalty, that I only coincidentally met because I had a tendency to bring the squishies with me.

Same here. I sent him into the vent shaft instead of Tali because I knew the poor sod who went in there wasn't coming back out. Well, technically he did, but not for long. Jack got carried off by the seeker swarm(though I had Thane doing the shield thing) and Samara was gutshot shortly after. I guess the only guaranteed survivors are the ones you take to fight the Reaper larva.

Holy shit, you can have everyone survive?!

Plus, I thought the loyalty quests were all mandatory?

PSA: Under certain circumstances, some enemies are cheaters. They can attack from 2 spaces with a 1-range sword, or a bow user can attack from up close with a bow. I won't mention the context for this information, just always be sure to check the battle forecast. This cheating isn't abused, it's only in niche circumstances to make sure you don't break the game, as I was so bold to try.

I am no longer an escaped lunatic. I liked that title 

On the bright side, you won't be the victim of anti-lunatic discrimination any more.
