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

Hell yes! Get me some of that!


Maybe THAT's why I'm in this rubber room....

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

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

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.

I felt a great disturbance in the force....

I dunno about killing off the LI, but he IS right about motivation. Nothing has really grounded the threat into more immediate intimacy. Seeing a bunch of pods and hearing Zaeed say that they're goddamn going for Earth doesn't rally me like the death of someone important might. So far the only loss that Shepard has suffered in my main save is Kaidan, and I feel like something needs to be done to give Shepard a personal stake in the action. Sort of a more extreme version of Mordin talking to his nephew to make the purging of all sentient life personal. As it is, it's, like Mordin said, too far beyond true comprehension to really crystallize with the player.

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

Oh dear god. Just stop now.

Damn, I just realised...

Replace Hitler with Stalin or someone.

The reasoning works for a selfish Renegade Shep.

Otherwise, even the grayest Neutral Shep could come up with a better reason to fight the Reapers, eh.

What if Hitler killed my wife? 

[Gamer Xtreme]

I'm not refering to Shep, I'm refering to the player, they need that motivation.

That sounds like something the producer of the worst sitcom in history would say during pre-production.

And it's now a hit BBC3 sitcom (replace BBC3 with some other cable channel depending on your nationality)

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

He desires to obtain the greatest quantity of relative temporal displacement from his status as an observer within the latticework of other socio-biological obligations that he can acquire.

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

Then you just destroyed your reasoning.

Anne Frank personalised the Holocaust when you did not have a strong intimate relationship with her beforehand (which is a good thing since she only ever reached 15) so why must it6 be the LI that dies?

[Gamer Xtreme]

Nah I'm just procrastinating feeding my superiority complex by taunting a bunch of sweaty nerds in love with there videogame characters... is an arrorgant way of putting it

Because we get to know Anne Frank, and her personality. We d not know and care for other characters as much as the LI.

[DOYOURLABS]

It would be good motivation i have to admit. But bioware would be ATTACKED with hate mail and most of the fan base will be pissed. Plus, your LI will most likely with you on the Normandy so if they die you will too. I don't think they will kill them and I hope they don't.

[Gamer Xtreme]

I'd love to get hate mail, please.

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.

That would be really cliched.

The genre needs something new. I say the space hamster dies, and Shepard goes on a personal quest for vengeance.

No kidding. Never have I seen someone Godwin their own thread so quickly.

What if the LI gets turned into a vampire, you have to kill him/her yourself, and then you can go on a quest to make them better ...

Tis cliched because it works. Unless the reapers jumped out of the screen and killed real people, might be a little problem with that though.
