the mass effect 2 trailer that they should have used

www.youtube.com/watch

This inspires me to make a trailer of my own once I have the PC version of ME2. Curse my current PC's inability to be capable of playing it.

yes some sexier walks for fem shep would be devine and sexier shoes for the kasumi mission or some jewelry would be nice aswell

I recently committed Eileen Shepard to her first and only romance in Mass Effect. Kaidan seemed like the most believable choice for her, so I did everything to ensure that she wound up in his arms. While I think their flirtations added a fun twist to the overall experience, I'm not feeling properly motivated to replay all of ME2 just to carry their undying (?) love (?) over to ME3. At least not right now.

Kaidan's absolutely confuzzling "as long as nothing changes" addendum at the very last minute briefly inspired me to consider kicking him out and pretending that I blew him up on Virmire. "Why are you here right now?" was my initial reaction. To say the least, he put the "lucky" in "damn lucky" that night.

Is it just me? Does Kaidan's entire romance subplot basically devolve into a one night stand with an insecure guy?



Any-who. Unless their relationship has a chance to mature into something a little more engaging, I'll be perfectly content to tackle ME3 with my canon (and happily single) Shepard.

"This can't change anything" implies that they still have a job to do, he's still her subordinate, and they can't put their relationship ahead of the rest of the galaxy.

We just went over aspects of this yesterday, so I invite you to come take a look at the Kaidan thread if you want the different views on it.

femShep's secret romance -

oh lord.....whyy????

Oh God, what is this?

It's an amazing thing, that's what it is. Don't you deny it, Chig.  We all know that, deep down, our FemSheps wanted a piece of that.....hot....hot...Elcor. With a cigar? (Where would he put it?)

You're right, Sky - I can't deny it anymore: Elcor romance in ME3, please!

Some screens from LotSB - I hope you like them:

FireEye summed it up, but I also look at it from his point of view; he has more to lose than Shepard in that situation; she's the Spectre with her own ship, while he's the subordinate who would definitely be reassigned at the very least if word of their relationship got out.  He doesn't want to change their working relationship, or receive preferential treatment either -- that's not his style.

As for playing all the way through again, there is always the miracle of Gibbed's save editor to change your romance flags.  You can make a copy of a save file, make changes like the name, class and background, and check the proper flags for ME1 and ME2.  Then check "LivedtoFightAgain" under the Raw tab, save to a different character folder, and you have a save file all ready for ME3, with a fresh character!  There is also http://www.masseffect2saves.com/, which has a few ME2 options, if you don't want to mess with Gibbed's editor.  You'll still have the issue of the name and head morph, but it's not as much work.

hehehe... It looks like Shepard and Vasir are doing something very different when the screenshot is positioned that way.

"Shepard... we can't."
"We both want this, Tela.  Don't fight it."
"I do want this... but it can never be.  The Council won't allow it."
"The Council doesn't need to know."

Shep/Vasir FTW!

(Seriously, though, that was my first thought, too, when I looked through the screenshots I took. )

The blue blurs things so I thought it was Liara at first. Shows what I know.

I actually wish they hadn't killed Vasir.  Not for LI purposes but just because she was cool and could've had a lot of potential.  It wasn't really necessary to kill her and once the Shadow Broker was done for she would have no reason to be a threat.  It could have been a nice source of tension to have her as an ally in ME3.

"Shepard.  We meet again."
"Oh hi.  You're the one who tried to kill my girlfriend."
"Nothing personal, Shepard.  So, Reapers huh?  Need a hand?"

This is how I think that my Shepard was constructed to be compatible with Liara to a certain extent. The fact that a pure Paragon Shepard, whom feels that no individual truly appreciates her and that she is sacrificing her own happiness for the benefit of others, falls deeply in love with Liara due to the fact that, amongst other things, she falls in love with Shepard the person, and not Shepard the hero.

In my opinion, that's a major component of the Liara/Shep romance regardless of Shepard's background, sex, or Paragon/Renegade scores.  It's also why I think hers is the best romance of them all.  She sees right through to Shepard's personality, and that's what she falls in love with so quickly.  The "Prothean repository" is just a convenient cover due to her own lack of self-confidence.

I'm sure the mind meld helped matters along, there.

I agree, killing her was completely unneccessary - where was the Paragon Interrupt to heal her like you do with that Batarian on Omega. I really liked her character and would've loved to see her return in some manner in ME3.

LotSB is lovely - now if only Ash and Kaidan would get the same treatment.

Must be because Liara is in the same picture as her. Right, Les?

No~! You're just a tiny bit biased when it comes to a certain awkward yet sweet Prothean expert.

I do find it interesting how much back story people create for their Shepard's. It's not something that really comes naturally to me; to think about why the character does what they do. I guess this stems from the fact that I only used to play JRPGs, where
all the characters are set in stone and you have no input (apart from
the name) in to the them at all. They acted how the designers
decided they should and you got shoved down a pre determined route until
the story was over, and whatever happened, that was it. You could play
it again but nothing would ever change.

Mass Effect was the first Western RPG that I played and that was only a year ago. It was quite an eye opener having all these choices and seeing how each one could affect the story and character. I've played quite a few since then but even now I still find myself picking an option from a gameplay perspective or what I would do in that situation rather than what the character I've created would do. The choice on Zaeed's loyalty mission is a good example of this. Even if I've decided the character is a Paragon I'll leave the people trapped in the building because I want the assault rifle upgrade for gameplay reasons.

I have recently been thinking about who my Shapard is and have come up with a few bits and pieces but nothing substantial. Maybe it will come to me over time, who knows.

Anyway enough of my rambling. Carry on people and here's a pic for good measure.

i know the full answer is over on the KAST, but i just have to add that given his reaction to shepard on horizon (or heck, end of ilos night or smile following her defeat of saren), the answer is a resounding hell no.

but the line you mention completely sucks and i do not like it. it is not bad in itself - its bad that it's the last word. in my fanfic, it was not, because i feel compelled to fix things like that. >< (arrogant of me, i know)

*snipping madly, including your awesome shep pic* 

that's interesting. i don't play much jrpgs, becuase i could never get the FF series to work on the machine i had. but it is true that western RPGs often give a lot of "white space" as tycho of penny arcade called it for creating your own character. i guess i find that the more i think about a character - any charachter, they just start to grow and grow and they start telling me what they're like - more like actors demanding fair treatment than me making something up.



"I like colony-country western, dammit."

but then, i suppose my head can be a weird place for that reason
