Thanks for the comments.
Strangely enough I actually kinda like the glasses some times too. Granted with some angles they look a tad strange or maybe I'm just intrigued with the fact they lack a nose bridge! They do remind me though of something like a futuristic set of Gargoyles Sunglasses. I only wish they had a few more different frame designs! I have used them or goggles IRL, for eyeprotection from flying debris (or brightness!) out in the field. Maybe someone on the graphics team will read this and pop a couple different sets in ME3 *shrugs*. Course if they don't I'm not going to be disappointed either, these games already have alot of stuff in them!

but i think i'm a rarer gamer in that, and the trend seems to be towards "rent it and beat it" and i worry BW is taking note and following that trend. a good VG romance is not about the amount of skin shown. it's really about how that subplot is developed alongside the main storyline. KOTOR still holds up as a spectacular romance for that reason - it was integrated to the plot from the start. ME1's romances held more weight to me because they also developed alongside the main story. the ME2 chars are great, but i felt they didn't develop correctly as storylines. the players had to fill in a LOT of gaps. LotSB made that abundantly clear, as it wove in the Liara thread with depth and detail. i'm still waiting to see what they do with the VS - that could be a mess of epic proportions, or it could be a fantastic story. i think the verdict is really still out on that one.
eh, sorry, that's me rambling. femshep implications are that i LOVE the femshep half of any romance, and i'm dying to see how they turn out. for future games, i really hope BW keeps up their commitment to dialog and story and voice actors as the way of promoting the romance. the sexy comes from those things, not the amount of cleavage shown.
Sage your partly hitting on something that is a on going trend in the gaming industry I tend to think. There are alot of folks out there that just get a game, run though it as fast as they can . . . Then demand a new one. Given the years of development for a game these peeps just don't seem to care. Plot, story, heck everything else be damned with these guys. It seems like quite a few of them want the same game over and over again, no matter who is makeing it, or if the avatar and the title is the only thing changed! It's a odd thing and something I freely admit I don't entirely understand. The fact BioWare's games have a different view / method / and story within their games is a strength if you ask me!
With Kotor II, I remember peeps complaining at how easy that game got at the end. . . The truth was 'IF' you built your character right, you could cut down alot enemies on your way to the final scene. It was the point of the story within the game, the whole build up was what the Exile experienced during the war before you became involved! Still did people get it? No, even some game reviewers didn't get it. I remember yelling a few times at my monitor after reading the stuff they posted . . . That was the point of the story!
I also agree with you about ME2's storyline too, it had somethings that didn't always flow right. Somethings lacked connection. But don't get me wrong I think the BW team did well with it. Even though I still think were a few things that could have enhanced the storyline and pulled the player into it better. Course this is why I keep trying to encourage BioWare into story development when I can.
Maybe something to consider too, is the fact there is alot of investment in these games. For right and wrong reasons there is alot fear / pressure there and it can be tough to develop a good path to have an successful final product. Now that I've said that, it dosen't mean I'm excusing these game builders for turning out a poor product either!
I have to admit, I still like playing Lynn Shepard even to this day. While I could never make a meme of her, since she is honesly based on my fading memories of two prior girlfriends of mine. Surprisingly even after 20+ playthoughs, I still have some fun fishing out various poses for her pictures. Plus I find some enjoyment in questioning myself as to how she would react to this or that in the various pictures I post or build around her. *whispers* Oh and yea I still find a occausional line I missed somewhere too! There are tons of combinations with doing the missions and who you take with you!
