I never got the notion from Tali that she wanted to bear children with Shepard...

No, there isn't much to the effect.  Though her commentary on Jack's mission is quite motherly.

Even Zaeed of all people opened his creaking heart during Jack's loyalty mission.

Granted, squad mates who exhibit anything less than disgust or shock probably wouldn't be very popular. I wonder what Grunt says there, though.

Zaeed is the "canon" squadmate for Jack's loyalty mission as far as I'm concerned.

I took Miranda on Jack's loyalty mission.

No worries - it's nothing a Gentile would catch, which is probably why Bioware thought they could get away with it, lol. Non-Jews wouldn't notice it, and the few Jews who did would just smile quietly and appreciate the nod.

I'm just surprised we haven't had any Jewish Talimancers point it out before.  Seriously, the connection has been made already many times, but nobody has ever pointed out the prayer.

Which brings me to the question. Given how famous and popular Shepard will probably be made (there was a lot of that in ME2...), my Shepard would have all the more reason to try to fall under the radar as much as possible. He (like CannedCreams's shepard IIRC) is more of a "relunctant hero" who is doing these things basically because he has to.

My Shep wanted off the streets, only to find that it was almost more messed-up out in the galaxy.  He'd love the chance to kick back.

Same, although Colonist Shepard. Saw his family killed by slavers, joined Alliance as a result. Lost his team on Akuze. After all all the Reaper business is over, I think he would be tired of fighting. At least in the literal sense. Assuming that the Quarians reenter the galactic scene, it's plausible for him to help the Quarians in some way adjust to their new life.

It's not easy being a messiah.

According to the polls, paragons are a dying breed. My Shep is going to restore that.

He probably approves.  Makes for strong kids!

Seeing that there were more than enough accusations to be spread around, I explained that I trusted my traveling companions, and that we were in the company of a detective inspector of Scotland Yard. At this, the villagers were nigh-overcome with grotesque displays of approval as is the fashion among such simple rustics. Despite how joyous they seemed at the prospect of salvation in the form of an agent of His Majesty’s law, they remained adamant in their warnings not to go abroad after nightfall. I promised to relay their complaints and fears to the good inspector, and beat a hasty retreat, glad of the excuse to be gone from their faintly loathsome presence.

To my surprise, I found that despite his earlier desire for seclusion, Inspector Vakarian was just as eager to speak with me. “Shepard,” he began, holding up a hand to beg my pardon at the interruption, “it’s with no small measure of apology that I must admit I haven’t been entirely forthright with you. Yes, I’m here about the murders, but I’m not completely about Scotland Yard’s business, you see. I’ve been on the trail of a certain rogue, a Dr. -- Saleon, since after the war. No true follower of Hippocrates, this one: he was once a resurrection man of the worst sort, agents of his plundering graveyards all over England for his gruesome vivisections and medical studies. Then, we caught him selling tainted penicillin stolen from military supplies, again to finance a series of abhorrent outrages he was performing in secret on kidnapped indigents and vagrants. When I heard about Greenmarsh's murders and mutilations, I knew it had to be him. And there, in the inn’s registry, I saw his alias: “Dr. R. Heart.” He may not be here any longer, but there’s bound to be a trace of him still.”

Astonishment filled his face when I repeated what the villagers had said about the visitors brought by the Turks, and how none of them had left. Though I was not eager to interfere in his own personal matter and had been looking forward to more work with Miss Zorah on translating her father’s book, the possible connection to M. Arterius made me agree that the matter deserved investigation, official sanction or not. Even with the villagers’ warnings, it seemed expedient to begin the search at once; with the Russians having left Greenmarsh, it was possible that the trail might soon go irretrievably cold. After some ratiocination with the good inspector, the deserted church seemed the logical place to start, given the close connection to the Russians, and the mortal terror the locals had for the place.

Like I said, Wall-E was the previous champing for nearly making me tear up. So little dialogue, yet you could feel the romance. Wall-E was a beautiful film for many reasons.

Agreed. The trailers never did it justice.

At the end there, when Eve touched her head against Wall-E's and starts humming that song.
Oh man. That was hard to endure.
And don't even get me started about the scene in the ship's trash compactor room.

Is it weird that somehow I correlate the feelings of the Wall-E relationship with Paragon Shepard/Tali?

Probably because it's around the same level of "daww" for me.

I tend to think that Shepards that are not at one extreme or another are more interesting and complex. Heroic Action Hero wears thin after a while. Could just be me, though.

The scene where we actually thought Wall-E was dead, that was an unexpected yank to my heart strings. They don't like being touched, they like to be left alone.

You're telling me. Took my little sister to see it, I had to do my best at holding back a tear or two.

Damn you Pixar.

I think it really depends more on how you see it.  My Shepard, an Earthborth Ruthless mother****er with an unrelenting bloodlust, also has a soft side for a certain quarian.  She calms the fire that burns within him; a fire that normally requires destruction and chaos to quell.  I also play as Pro-human as possible, but I won't get into that...

And that's it for the night. Thank you for your continued tolerance.

Yes it does. I do think that paragade/neutral/renegon Shepards have more obvious and inherent complexity to them, in my eyes. It really boils down to how much you roleplay your Shepard, and giving them reasons for why they behave as they do.

Grunt found it unpleasant. After all, he was an instrument of war for a wicked scientist, too.

did he ever really object to that fact? I thought he was proud of it.

Not just you. I used to play as PURE PARAGON, but I always found that a little boring and stiff. I've had a lot more fun as a paragade. Yes, my Shepard is still a 'goodguy' who tries to save lives whenever possible, but he's not 'mr. nice guy' to everyone. Give him a reason to shoot, and he probably will.
Basically I play him as the type of guy you'd love to have for a friend, but would fear as an enemy.

For the most part, I am paragon. But I do accumilate quite a lot of renegade points.

Some people need to know their savior will not take any further nonsense. He will act against it.

You know, in ME1 I was pretty pro-human.  The simpering sucking up to the UN Council sickened me.  I told Terra First I supported them (I still do:  the keep humanity strong part, not the racism part).  I saved the Council, though, because I figured it would serve humanity far better than a naked and unpopular power-grab.  I thought long and hard about sacrificing human lives for those douchebags, though.

Maybe I got older or stupider or something because by ME2 I was paragon across the board and while I still think the Council is useless, I can see the purpose they serve.

Then again, ME2 seems to treat paragon a little different than ME1.

Edit:  and I almost forgot the comment I wanted to make RE your Shep.  Every sword needs a sheath or it just ends up cutting the user.
