Guide Presidium Prophet in Mass Effect: Legendary Edition (ME1)

AntMag.NET

Alright, so you're looking to tackle the 'Presidium Prophet' assignment in Mass Effect: Legendary Edition? It's a pretty straightforward one that pops up after you've had your first chat with the Council. You'll want to head east from the Council Tower towards the Wards Access. Keep your eyes peeled, because you'll soon stumble upon a Hanar and a C-Sec Officer having a bit of a heated discussion. That's your cue to jump in and start the assignment!

Walkthrough

1
Starting the Assignment: As soon as you hear the argument, approach the Hanar and C-Sec Officer. This is where you'll need to make a choice to resolve the situation.
2
Dealing with the Hanar: Your first option is to try and get the Hanar to leave. At the start of the game, you likely won't have enough points for the 'Intimidate' option, so you'll be looking at Charm or a simple credit payment.
- Option 1 (Charm): If you have 4 points in Charm, you can say, “This is unworthy of you.” This will convince the Hanar to leave and net you +8 Paragon points.
3
Option 2 (Credits): If Charm isn't an option, you can offer to buy the Hanar's permit for 150 Credits. This also makes the Hanar leave.
4
Option 3 (Intimidate): If you've invested heavily in Intimidate and have 7 points, you can threaten the Hanar by saying, “There’s trouble anyway.” This will earn you +9 Renegade points.
5
Dealing with the C-Sec Officer: If you don't resolve it with the Hanar, or just choose to, you can try to get the C-Sec Officer to back down. Again, Charm might be tough early on.
- Option 1 (Charm): With 7 points in Charm, you can say, “It’s not causing trouble.” This will get the C-Sec Officer to leave and grant you +8 Paragon points.
6
Option 2 (Intimidate): If you have 4 points in Intimidate, you can use the line, “This is dangerous.” This forces the C-Sec Officer to leave and earns you +9 Renegade points.
7
Rewards: No matter which way you resolve the dispute, you'll get a reward. If you convince the Hanar to leave, you'll receive Omni-Gel. If you get the C-Sec Officer to leave, you'll get Medi-Gel.

Tips

Early in the game, your Charm and Intimidate skills might be too low to pick the dialogue options that give the most Paragon or Renegade points. Don't stress too much about it; you can always get more points later.
The choice you make here doesn't have a huge impact on the main story, so focus on getting the dialogue options you can afford and moving on.
Remember to check your dialogue wheel carefully for the available Charm and Intimidate options – they're usually marked with icons.
