With Mass Effect BioWare has created a game that feels real. The Universe is realistic (ok, not so much), but more so the characters are well done and the writing is far beyond “Russia invades America” or “alien cult tries to kill everyone, for “teh lulz”. However, what it has so far failed to do is impact me emotionally. It doesn’t have to go as far as make me cry, but I hope ME3 will have a deep impact on me, I hope it makes me care. At the moment the reaper threat is non-existent. Sure they claim they will kill everyone but they haven’t done that yet, the only guy whose died on me is Kaiden, who is about as interesting as a spreadsheet. What ME3 needs is for the only character whose death might mean something to you, to die. That role wouldgo to your love interests. They are the only ones who we can at least sort ofcare about. As humans we cannot truly understand massive human suffering. We talk calmly about massive atrocities like the holocaust but it takes someone like Anne Frank to make us cry a little. As a heartless bastard once said; “one death is a tragedy, one million is a statistic.”[/i] If the Reapers kill trillions, I will be angry, if they kill my love then I will be baying for there blood. We need a personal face to represent the tragedy that the reapers could unleash, and that needs to be the LIs.

 And if you don’t have one? Well then it sucks to be you.

Posted this in your other thread and will repeat it here

Your logic if very flawed your LI doesn't have to die to give you
something worth fighting the reapers for. It can easily be truned around
that your goal is fighting for the survival of your LI along with the
whole galaxy. If you feel your quest to defeat the reapers is pointless
to save the galaxy then look at the small picture. Shepard has friends
as well as the LI so your fighting for their survival too. The reapers
goal is to wipe all life out including your friends on the Normanday,
the Citadel, everywhere.

WOULD your love interest, COULD your love interest, in a boat?
WILL your love interest, SHOULD your love interest, with a goat?

Oooh.  *goes off to work on a new audio edit idea*

But if my LI survives, then the reapers have done nothing, whereas if they die I have every reason to kill them.

Everyone needs motivation today! Whatever happened to true Nihilism and doing things just because it was awesome!

[DOYOURLABS]

So basically, the threat of EVERYONE dying isn't enough to motivate you to kill reapers?

So if they ONLY intend to snuff out all intelligent life in the galaxy, that's not enough reason for you to kill them???

No, but humans cannot truly comprehend that. We need a single example to at least give us the faintest hint.

This is your second thread I take it. Woohoo your definitely a determined one. Get ready to be smacked volus.

[Gamer Xtreme]

Put it this way, would you be more angry at Hitler for genocide, or a man that killed you wife?

[AntiChri5]

So you were in love with Anne Frank before reading her diary?



No?

[Tlazolteotl]

Apparently Gamer Xtreme's Shepard isn't much of a hero.

Irregardless, I prefer LIs to die, 'cos it'll be amusing. Not likely, though .. 'cos default shep doesn't have an LI, and the game has to make sense with the default.

Maybe YOU need that, but not all humans would.  Don't lump all humans together.

Ugh, no, but I cared for her more than an anonymous number.

Oh dear god. Just stop now.

Pft, I don't have an LI, **** the galaxy.

[Marta Rio]

A second thread about nearly the exact same topic?  A heavy...undertaking.  But the...awaaard.

NO! That is the most arrogant thing you can ever say, you WILL never understand massive suffering. That is fact, human nature as it where. 1 trillion people dying is so massive if you knew what that truly felt like you would certainly die.
