I was on my second play through and while recruiting Tali, i took too long and reeger died. Luckily, i was able to load a save and restart the mission and used the paragon option and make sure he stayed back, and completed the mission. I saw that he survived at the end. then when i went to the fleet to deal with the treason, i was unable to talk to him (he was there, but had no talk option), just veetor and the admirals. as a result, i couldnt use the "rally the crowd option" and had to lie and get tali exiled. has anyone else had a similar issue?

I've never had the problem of taking too long during the end of that mission. On my one playthrough, Reeger did tell me to hurry up, but I was able to kill the Armature before he was killed. In fact, I had no idea he could die until reading your post, so this is news to me. I have never timed it, but I would say it usually only takes me around 4-5 minutes to kill the Armature on Insanity difficulty.

It may be a problem with the game not resetting all values properly on a game load, or perhaps not freeing all memory used previously. If that is the case and this happened to me, I would turn my console off (or exit the game on PC) and restart the game with a fresh start and allocation of memory. If that was the problem then this solution should work. —ArmeniusLOD 23:27, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

I didnt think he could die either. according to his page though you have a limited amount of time. i think it has more so to do with the path you choose. the right side (sniper approach) i took both times he lived, but using the left approach got him killed. its too late to fix anything, i saved my game. i was mainly curious to see if this has happened to anyone else. as long as shes loyal, im happy. i need to get my paragon up enough to keep jack and mirandas loyalty. im trying to get everyone to survive the mission this time.

How long did you take to get him killed? I have never encountered problems with Reeger, and only once did I pick a paragon interrupt to keep him staying back. So I almost always have him back up my assault. Going through the right alleyway is the easier path, all right, but I never got him killed going left either. And that's on Hardcore and Insanity.

Just a tip for the future for any RPG: save often and keep multiple saves. I'll often use up all 20 save slots when doing a mission, just in case I missed something so I can go back. I'll also try and keep a backlog of the last 3 or 4 missions/assignments I completed just in case I don't like the outcome later on. —ArmeniusLOD 05:19, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

thats the weird thing. it didnt seem to take much longer than the first time i did the mission. everything is going fine then i hear "keelasah'li........ungh". then when i talk to tali i get the talk option "reeger is dead"
