1. I think you have to expect some redesign in the physical characteristics of Ashley. To me, her face is the same model with different hairstyle and Bioware has fulfilled a promise to improve hair appearance. "Look Ma, no split ends!" Kaiden and Ashley have gotten some phsyical redesign to broaden appeal across the fanbase. I think this is as much an attempt by Bioware to make these characters more likeable to everyone as much as others think it is pandering to hyper-pubescent teens.
2. Ash's Hair - Don't have a problem with it. I don't think it covers her eyes, I think it appears to cover her eyes when we are viewing her at a specific angle. Other angles show she can clearly see out of both. Do I think she should wear it like that in battle? No. Not appropriate. Yet how many soldiers go to battle without a helmet covering their head? If you clammer for realism, don't opt to keep the helmets off your soldiers.
3. Ash's Clothing - I admit that I expected a change but this was a little more than I bargained for. I can do without the thigh high boots - heels or no heels. Trouble is, we don't have a great deal of context here. Will she be able to wear armor? I'm going to say she probably will. Shepherd is not wearing heavy armor on earth, yet he is on the salarian homeworld. Maybe the same will hold for Ashley. Besides, she said she was a hellcat on and off the battlefield. Maybe we are seeing a side of her character only hinted at previously. "Beats the hell out of a tin foil mini-skirt doesn't it skipper?" "Nice stern and struts Ash" "Get that out of a training manual skipper?
4. Ash's Character - This will tell the tale. Will she still be the same character we all grew to like or were immediatley captivated by? This will make it or break it for me and none of the above. I think we can expect some maturation and slight change. We all do that over time. But if her personality does not retain those fundamental traits that made her such a well written character in ME1, I will be sorely disappointed.
Overall, I'm ecstatic that Ash is back. Yes, I wanted MY Ash back, just like you, and you, and you, and you. But all disputing, discussion, and nitpicking aside, is that not what we wanted all along?
