What's the point of having the Normandy's crew (not your squad mates, but the crew that work on the ship) survive? Do they do anything for you? I'm at the point where I can either enter the omega 4 relay immediately and save my ship crew or explore more and have them die. I want to explore more and do my 2 remaining loyalty missions, but then my ship crew would die. So is there really any importance to them?

In ME2, not that I know of. But they may have an impact on ME3.

I think it's more of a moral decision than a gameplay one. Although Kelly Chambers will no longer be able to feed Shepard's fish if she's dead. As chaosflare44 said though, the crew's death may have a bigger impact on Mass Effect 3.

If you leave immediately, you save Kelly Chambers. If you delay, she gets turned into goo as show in this video.

Even if you delay, you'll still save certain crew members like Dr. Chakwas, so Kelly's death is the only difference.

Edit: On a side note, you can still do Legion's loyalty mission without sacrificing Kelly.

If everyone survives including the entire Normandy 2 crew, then you get the "No One Left Behind" achievement. And who knows what effects it will have on ME3.

Actually that achievement only refers to the squad, the crew dying doesn't matter. But yeah its simply a moral choice, in this game has no effect.

The crew doesn't matter, for that achievement, you only need your squad to live.

Yeah, you guys are right. Well, regardless, it isn't difficult to keep everyone alive anyway.

So the only difference is Kelly Chambers (future version of an administrative assistant). I don't see how this is going to greatly affect Mass Effect 3. I beleive the squad mates that you acquired through missions are more important.

I agree..there's always something with these decisions that may not seem relevant in ME2, but it will almost certainly play a big role in ME3.

What ... Kelly ... dance? Are you serious? Do you know if Tali takes her helmet off when you romance her?

She does, but you don't see anything.

Kelly feeds Shepard's fish?! How come my fish are always dead. I have to feed them after each mission.

TC. You're playing it all wrong. Now listen to me before your blood starts boiling. Dont be offended. This game is like playing Heavy Rain.. Play it like it has no save points or checkpoints that you can revert to. Let your moral choices decide the game. Stop trying to think things over too much. Make those decisions in the heat of the moment like the game is trying to have you do. You're defeating the whole purpose and you're not playing it the way it was meant to be played. You're trying to make things perfect and crystal.. when it's a lot more spotaneous and dynamic when you let things flow.

You have to flirt with her first though.. and coax her into doing that. She doesn't feed your fish right off the bat. You have to open up more intimate and flirty dialogue with her before she starts feeding your fish. Even when I opened that dialogue and she said she would feed my fish.. my fish were still not being fed.. so either way my fish were screwed. She sucks lol.
