I really enjoyed Ashley as a character. However, I completely lost faith in her after she shot Wrex in the back on my game.
However, I was glad to see her on ME2.
sounds like someone didn't give enough points to their charm or intimidate. I saw the vid of that on youtube and Ash can be completely ruthless sometimes...to bad we had to see that in the form of Cerberus hatred on Horizon....
Yeah, I thought for sure she'd be happier to see Shepard kickin' Collector ass on Horizon. Makes me regret saving her on Virmire.
The only thing I regret at Horizon is, that I can't punch
Shepard's face for being such a jerk. I can totally understand Ash, because all Shepard has to say to her was lame at the best.
And as for Virmire: You might want to go back in this thread to around page ... dunno, 60-70? There was a lengthy discussion on the topic of Ash shooting Wrex. Anyway, the conclusion was more or less, that if anyone is to blame it would be Shepard, as he gives her the order to watch his back.
I don't want to recycle all the arguments, but it falls short to two things:
On a metagaming point of view it is the fault of the player if Wrex dies, because there are two options of avoiding his death: Either do his quest, or spend sufficient points in charm/intimidate. Did not do it? Your own fault, don't blame Ash.
On an in-character point of view: After the discussion with Kaidan and Ash about Wrex's anger, Shepard directly addresses Ash and tells her "watch my back". What is she supposed to do then, the moment Wrex attacks Shepard? Disobey a direct order from her superior officer and let him get severly wounded or die? That would most likely be followed by some kind of military jury and her ending in prison (if Shepard actually dies).
What other options beside shooting does she have to save Shepard? Against a charging Krogan Battlemaster? Do you think a bullet in his leg would have stopped him? I don't. The moment Wrex charges, Ash has
no choice. And the
only one who can be blamed (imho) is Shepard (because he commanded her) or the player (because he did not prepare his ingame avatar accordingly).
E: cleaning some typos .... and ..
Realizing that the Ash-crowd seems to be quity picky about the Wrex-Virmire encounter
There has been quite a few responses during the time it took me to write my posting ^^, it's good to see you guys and gals are as much protective about Ash, as I am. I hope you took no offense, Retroguy, but the craowd in this thread will always take Ash's side <3
