We'll learn more as time progresses, I guess. We as completionists will get "something", but you can only hope the difference isn't as petty as the difference from ME1-ME2.

Bioware turning more mainstream isn't comforting, either.

Wow Phil, you're like the only person I've ever had discussions with on here. This place is like a gd chat room I swear....for uhh..me at least.

I do expect the carryover on decisions to be near maddeningly irrelevant personally.  They painted themselves into a corner there.  They can't make different games based on whether you kept the base or saved the council.  They can however, appeal to the people who have followed ME since the beginning with the characters.  I don't think they'll miss that chance personally, but that's just optimism really.  For all I know, you could be right, and I could be done with Bioware games forever

Oh, you did a Jack/Liara matchup already? Link?

Not one specifically, no. But this is what I was referring to:

Poll

Not completely conclusive, but seems to point in favor of Jack.

I went to a liquor store to buy a can of carbonated testosterone Monster, and decided to buy a pack of cigarettes. It was pretty uneventful, really. A total letdown.

After I finished the pack I nearly bought another, then I realized what I was doing and chewd myself out.

Aw, man.  I was hoping for a good story.

But hey, hope everything's cool for you.  I had a real bout of self-loathing a while back and I feel it changed me for the better.

Are you sure? What about her sister?

She doesn't mind torture,

How do you gather that?

picking fights with people, notably Jack, who is ****ed up beyond repair, and is therefore little more than a bully. ****.

Are you sure that Miranda started that fight?

Jack is a ****ed up individual and mass murderer, who has suffered every atrocity imaginable, and is looking for some level of peace and normalcy. Like Tali, she also wears a mask, only hers is worn over the heart. The appeal isn't hard to figure out.

Interesting analysis there. Some truth in that.

How the hell did I miss this? Is it during the romance dialogue or is it in the "totally worth it" dialogue?

Nope, it's when she has a fever after the trial, I think.

Oh, I know why I missed it... I went forward instead of investigate. Never even thought of taking the other option... strange, I can't find a youtube of the line. I'll have to replay. Thanks!

Here is my application to be apart of this thread/group.
Opinion on Tali'Zorah vas Normandy vas Neema nar Rayya: I say yes to Tali.
My choice in ME2: My Shepard romanced her.
Additional notes: I've even come up with some ideas for my first actual fanfic that I'll finish (and enjoy writing), regarding (not exactly Tali directly) but the Quarians and the Geth. Titled "Mass Effect: The Morning War".

So... am I allowed in?

Not before you answer me this:

But while there is a lot of positive comments for Jack, I suspect many are happy to stick it to the Mirandamancers. (Or maybe people are doing it for both reasons.)

Chicken/egg argument.  Do people like to stick it to Miranda because they hate her or because they like Jack?

Tali > Jack > Liara =/= Ashley > Miranda
To me, at least.

I... think I agree with this.  Though obviously Liara already edged out Ashley once for me.

What do we do when we fall down?
Call yourself an idiot for being so clumsy,and then you get back up.

And apparently, some really goofy things happened while I was in absentia. Regarding me.

What I learned from this poll:  JL is surprisingly conservative in his choice of partners.

When I chat with Ash fans, I feel like I should have romanced her instead. When I talk to the positive Liara fans, I felt like Liara is a better choice. I have a bizarre hate-tolerate relationship with Miranda.

I suspect a lot of it is more against the fans than the character. A lot of the Talihaters say the same thing. The character might not be their favorite, but they don't hate her. It's just something about the fanbase that really gets people going.

One common thread I've seen which might explain Talifan/Mirifan animosity is that Mirifans are usually apologists for the whole "doing it on Tali's workstation" love scene. Like that could ever possibly be justified as anything other than a total b*tch move.

That does bring up an interesting question:  Why do Tali fans seem to prefer Jack over Miranda?

Is it just the Cerberus thing or what?

Do Talimancers just have a thing for outcasts?

Because Miranda is a Cerberus ****, who lies through her teeth with you, smiles when the Illusive Man beckons, and lacks anything that resembles morals. She doesn't mind torture, picking fights with people, notably Jack, who is ****ed up beyond repair, and is therefore little more than a bully. ****.

Jack is a ****ed up individual and mass murderer, who has suffered every atrocity imaginable, and is looking for some level of peace and normalcy. Like Tali, she also wears a mask, only hers is worn over the heart. The appeal isn't hard to figure out.

Sorta this lol

And I'm a sympathetic person...I fall in love with the most tragic beings. Maybe cuz we're all tragic, and pretending otherwise is just arrogance.
And Jack has a potty mouth...just like Tali

"I hope that ship was full of those geth bastards"

Heh, I did like the swearing a bit. Can make a character feel more organic.

Congratulations. She cares about ONE thing in the big wide universe. And Jacob doesn't like rapists. Doesn't make her a good, decent, or even remotely worthwhile person.

She didn't have any problems with what they did to Veetor, did she?

Of course Miranda picked that fight. She was picking fights with Jack since Purgatory, since she came on the ship. If you side with Jack, which I always do, it comes off that Miranda instigated the interaction.

@Privateer: I might believe you if several of the forums regulars didn't love (or like) Jack. Considering they do...
