She's half asari, half elf, half human. Yes, I realize that's too many halves - but that's alright because she's perfect.

That made me almost drop from my chair. Good thing you chose short name.

the same happens in jack's lm. i hate telling her "kill him/ dont kill him". all of a sudden, a very determined woman just frozes and waits for her boss to tell her what to do ?

The way I interpret that scene is that Jack is a very damaged woman.  She spent her entire childhood being told what to do, then escaped, and drifted around with no direction, committing crimes simply because nobody told her not to.  Deep down, she really wants someone to tell her what to do, because she lacks the morality or internal compass to tell her what to do, so she wants to have someone do it for her, as it's easier than figuring out for herself.  In that moment she has realized that Shepard is that guiding compass she can use, and thus asks for Shep's help in deciding what to do.  It's much like the whole Renegading convo in ME1 with Kaidan/Ashley.

Just my interpretation.

Jack: I...sh*t. Is this right? Will killing him fix my head?

Basically, the feel I got was a woman who was messed up and screwed over dozens of times asking for help> Mostly in part because Jack knows that Shepard's at least partially trustworthy, or else she wouldn't have given Jack the Cerberus files or taken her to Pragia. 

But this is starting to get a little OT. Suffice to say that, if the squad didn't want Shepard's help or assistance in the deciding matters of their Loyalty Mission's, then they'd have figured it out on thier own and gone off on thier own...which breeds an interesting little plot bunny. > For another thread, I suppose.

That's at least part of a theme in Mass Effect 2 is trust: Can you trust these people to get the job done and can they trust YOU? In doing these loyalty missions, you make sure a bond is formed between Shepard and the respective crewmate. If the 'mate didn't think Shepard trustworthy, then they wouldn't have asked in the first place. 

However, that's just my two cents. I'm sorry, mods, if this is OT. :{

in garrus' case, for a some time i was kinda changing (with abby) the intervention on that one. now i'm settled. abby stops garrus.  participating in the assassination of a dude in one of the most populated areas of the citadel is just nuts and stupid, spectre or not. if garrus wants revenge, then he should do it alone.

I get this. I have done Garrus' mission both ways and I ultimately decided that based on the fact that he was Shepard's right hand man in ME1, this was a friend asking for help instead of just some random Joe on the ship. The choice was made based on the specific character I was playing, but I get why it works both ways perfectly fine.

the same happens in jack's lm. i hate telling her "kill him/ dont kill him". all of a sudden, a very determined woman just frozes and waits for her boss to tell her what to do ?

Jack was especially difficult for me. I originally told her to stand down with the paragon persuade in my first game, but I was still left wondering if there was a better way for that to play out. I went through all the dialogue options available and I was stunned to find that if you ignore both the paragon and renegade lines and pick from either gray dialogue (leave him or finish him), Jack will do exactly the opposite of what you tell her to do. There was no consistency in her character as far as I was concerned. Despite being nice to her in my first game, I decided screw it, she's going to be mouthy no matter what so I choose the gray "leave him" option because he was just not important to the mission. She shot him anyway and Shepard got to yell at her about disregarding her order. So I liked that since having conflict was more realistic than people magically doing what Shepard says.

No, but she can talk with butterflies and whenever she enters a room everything sparkles and everyone immediately falls in love with her! And she has a really tragic past!

How do you keep typing that name without giggling till you screw up? Or is it the magic of copy/paste?

It's the magic power of a Mary Sue name. (;

Something else I wanted to ask.

How does your FemShep act in combat? I don't mean my earlier comment about battle cries etc, but....her style of combat/combat tactics?

When I was leveling up Cam, I found that I focused more on the Barrier/Stasis talents earlier on and maxed those out, and then went for Singulairty.

Cam's a defender in combat, adding to her allies and then 'debuffing' or enemies with a Lift, Stasis, or Singularity. I would say the same about ME2, but she's a litte more agressive with her heavy Warp, but she still uses Pull Field and heavy Singuarity from time to time.

UJ is a tactician, treating every battlefield differently.  As a Vanguard, she will charge and be in the middle of things when she needs to be. But if the situation is best handled lying back, she’ll do that too.  One of the things she prides herself on is being unpredictable.  She’ll kill try to negotiate w/ the Krogan, but then kill him for talking too much.  Thing is she will not kill anyone that she knows she can negotiate with, but on the other hand if she knows there’s no other way out, might as well get a scary rep in the process.  Perfect example in the Miranda LM, when she tries to talk w/ the mercs, but when that fails, she goes for it.

All funnies aside, does anyone have a...flawed game? Like, you failed some persuasions and some weren't able to make it out of the suicide mission?

I'm not saying that having everyone survive is bad, I'm just curious if anyone felt like they had to have a 'token' death or failed persuation option.

The last time I went through ME2, I failed the loyalty argument between Jack and Miranda, siding with Miranda. Jack was obviously pissed, and I felt like through some of the missions that Shep took her on, she was her wild and ruthless self, and sort of dissed Shep's orders to stay where she was or fire off that shockwave or pull field.

Sort of OT: While perusing the Loyalty Arguments, I cam across the renegage outcome of the Tali/Legion argument....Hale, once again, your voice delivers these lines...so well.

and i think it's hella funnier to just see her listen to the krogan go on and on, like almost looking at her nails, than to have him get a rise out of her at that moment.

I think it's not about the Krogan getting a rise out of Shepard but rather having no time to stand there and listen to him monologuing about Clan Weyrloc's plans.

let me re-phrase. if *I* were to do that option, it's because he pissed me off. but i wait it out because i see kyrie as waiting it out. just like "okay, can i kill you now?" she has a strong sense of honor in combat. i have no idea WHY, but she does. maybe because she generally doesn't have to resort to underhanded tactics to win. it doesn't even cross her mind. but i think someday i may make an engineer or infiltrator shep who totally does, just to balance it out.

Jessica lets him monologue for a little bit, even though she finds him repugnant, but she's used to people who talk to hear themselves talk and it doesn't really move her one way or the other.  But when he gets to the part about "The asari will scream as their Citadel plunges into the sun!", well, now he's talking about asari, and that sets her off.  I imagine her line is much more like "Alright, time for you to shut up now," instead of "You talk too much."

I was going to say DO IT. DOOOOO EEET!

but you have, so I will cheer you on. isn't there some site where someone ranked the most popular shep faces from mass effect faces and distilled them into the "perfect" face. - should be that, sparkling paragon, with...um...pink liara outfit. oooh, the possibilities! muahahaha! i want to see this!

@ sky: i took your interp of the loyalty missions also. is more than a little sue-ish, but i figure if they didn't already pull the trigger, yeah.

of course, kyrie's less than noble reason for stopping her team there is that she's very law-abiding, and if her people get picked up for essentially murdering people in the streets (regardless of motive), it is going to get WAY sticky to clean up that mess. ah, kyrie - hard to tell where compassion ends and practicality begins.

All funnies aside, does anyone have a...flawed game? Like, you failed some persuasions and some weren't able to make it out of the suicide mission? 

hmmm... only deliberately. i saved everyone on mission because first, i found it rather easy to do so (just made them all loyal, sent legion in the vents (he's not organic <--kyrie can be a little racist there) and sent miri with the other team since she's the XO). secondly, i want to see what happens to them in ME3. curiousity, ya know?. 

i deliberately failed the final morinth persuade for the sake of my fanfic. it just seemed to fit kyrie - like this was the one attack that really got under her armor - this appeal to her need to be wanted for herself. morinth found that spot, dug in the knife, and twists.

@ AD: good! not as funny as yours, but i do try.

abby is a vanguard...
charge to refill shields. charge to flank the enemy. charge to get a better position. charge to get at point blank range. charge to get herself out of a bad situation. charge to avoid enemies.

Jessica couldn't stop Toombs from shooting himself either.  Also, Captain Kirrahe died on Virmire because she missed the fueling station for the geth air support drones.  Wrex shot Fist because she brought him along to track down Tali; she refused to let Helena Blake go (she saw way too many 'petty criminals' running 'small time' crime operations back on Earth to buy her BS); and shockingly, she shot Finch during the "Old Friends" quest.  What actually happened was that I accidentally clicked the mouse at just the wrong time, so it really was a shock to everyone there, including myself, when she whipped out her pistol and blew a hole in his throat.  Looking back, it makes sense though; nobody, not even Liara, truly understands the depth of her hatred for her life back on Earth and everything associated with it.

Jessica doesn't have a "perfect" playthrough.  She's good, but she screws up plenty.

I also treat my crew as adults. I don't want to hold their hands during their personal missions so if Garrus wants someone dead, I don't question it. I let Miranda shoot her friend -- her problem to deal with, not mine. Same for Mordin in shooting his assistant -- his closure, not mine. Even shot Thane's son to let him know it wasn't a game. I hate Jacob's mission because it's still Shepard suggesting to Jacob what to do with his dad rather than letting him decide and me choosing to let it happen or not.

This is exactly how my Evie is.  She's my uber Renegade, and it's mostly a matter of her really not giving a crap.  She reacts to all of those decisions with a shrug and says "Whatever, not my friend, not my problem.  If it doesn't affect our mission, I don't care how you handle it."

The only time she argued against a squadmate is Zaeed, because I imagine that would INFURIATE Evie.  If he had told her going into it that this was a vengeance quest, period, she may have been more receptive (because her own survival and maintaining allies for her mission is more important than innocent lives).  But telling her it was a mission to liberate a factory, THEN telling her after they landed that he was actually here for revenge and nothing else?  Oh, that made her mad.  She took that Paragon interrupt to punch him in the face.

She didn't care about the factory workers, but she did the opposite of what Zaeed wanted just to show him that she was in charge and you don't lie to her about mission parameters.  Ever.  She's vindictive like that.

Since I'm slowly introducing all my FemSheps on this board, I may as well post a pic of her:



Her real name is Evangeline... it's a nice saintly name, which I found funny.
