Ok, I noticed an interesting phenomenon during my current playthru with Rani. I had intended her to be pretty much a cold-hearted beotch, full renegade (except Feros, as a colonist, she had to save the colony if she could), basically picking pretty near all the renegade choices. However, I ran into a problem.
His name is Kaidan. I usually talk to my squad after a "story" mission, so I kinda thought their conversations were linked to that. Got alot of "I don't have anything to say" comments except after main story missions. So, anyways, I had run thru Feros, and was running and doing all of the assignments available, and I went and talked to Kaidan again. This was
just after taking out Dr. Saleon for Garrus, and I got the "don't take shortcuts" speech from Kaidan. It fit so well, that when I did Bring Down the Sky, it changed things. Rani killed Charn, especially after the "just a slave grab" line, but couldn't bring herself to sacrifice the hostages to kill Balak, even for revenge for Mindoir. Kaidan's influence. I could
feel Rani's internal conflict, almost as a seperate entity from myself.
Anyways, long story short, from there I played quite a bit, and tried to stick to the Renegade path, but I wound up feeling more and more like I was playing her wrong, that I was
forcing her to be Renegade, especially since Kaidan is always in her squad. And, since I didn't have any save games from earlier, I've decided to reboot her, and replay Rani's story. (Yay for 15 hours of gametime lost...*sigh*) I just need to get her story right, for some reason.
But, anyways, I decided to kinda tweak her appearance (especially since I didn't write down her sliders from the first go around.) So, a coupla pics of the "new" Rani. I'm working on a full profile for her, so I can figure out exactly how her story arc will go, since the whole "Renegade" thing just didn't fit her.
On to the pics!
