Why does Ashley have larger breasts? Because BW wants to increase their audience of young straight males. That's the why. Is it a good idea? It will depend on your viewpoint. I certainly hope Ash's personality will reflect the change, in other words she has "let her hair down" both literally and figuratively. If that is not the case, then it betrays the character. For the record, I do hope that femShep doesn’t get any “bigger.” She’s fine like she is.
That's what I suspected. Over at the Game Informer thread a few posters already started to regret not having romanced Ashley or remain faithful to her now that she is such a "hottie." I thought she looked fine before and I have no problem seeing her hair down; it's the boobie increase that bothers me because it's so unnecessary when trying to improve her character. Atleast with femShep, the size difference had to do with armor plating.

Good point, precisely yesterday I had
the same though when I knew it. I said that a character may have ANY
physical features, but other thing is that you force it with the goal of
"a good sight to group (principally a part of men gamers)". Bioware
really contradict themselves; they replies accurate answers (famous "DA2
is discriminatory to straight male gamers"[/b] o.O)*
and, by other side: ME image is a guy that represents precisely what
that "discriminated fan" claims, they increase boobs size (females of
course), spend lot of hours to make Miranda's ass, make irreal marked
combat suits... But, havent you just said you develop the games to
include all groups??
bioware, if you love all of your fans, please
dont make these sexualized small details, which finally they are the
most important and not as small as they seem.
Edit: [b]* srry, I have supposed all of us know the issue. Here is the link if it interesting you.
In any way...FemShep rocks!!!!
What I really like about the human characters in ME1 (Kaidan and Ashley in particular) is that they look so normal and realistic. When you compare them to the flashier characters of ME2, they can't help but appear plain. Perhaps it was too tempting to let their figures go untouched in the final installment. Admittedly, Ashley's change in appearance isn't that huge of deal in the grand scheme of things; I'm much more worried about how the story will play out.
