But she's not half cybernetic, there are some cybernetics (and biotic implants for some classes)but she's mostly organic with cloned tissue and such and it's not that much different than the gene therapy every human goes through and what would this subplot be?
That she died and nothing she did mattered? Gene therapy is one thing, and granted - the cybernetics thing is only something we know because we've seen how it turns out if you go Renegade. Space marine or not, I just don't see it feasable that anyone would keep going without batting an eyelash after spending two years dead. The only people who do that are action stereotypes in fiction, and I just wish that BioWare would start writing Shepard as more than that.
true, but she really doesn't have time to be all "woe is me, I'm sad that I died and no on remembered me waaaaah" She's got colonists to save and Collectors to kill, She even says "this mission is bigger than our lives" so She's obviously come to grips with being dead then being brought back to life and She appreciates what Cerberus did for her. It suck that the council backslid on the reapers but they don't want to beleive it even though they saw one and they'll just dismiss any evidence shepard brings (Hell I postponed the meeting until AFTEr I finished the suicide mission and brought Legion and they called him "a Trophy bot" then I told them to take their offer of being a specter and shove it up their asses.
Thats very true.
The thing is, though, that you spend an AWFUL lto of time dealing with eveyrone ELSE's personal issues. You helpp people find their fathers, and save their sisters, and reunite with their sons. You travel the galaxy so your teamates can seek petty vengeance and personal redemption. You help Tali clear her father's name (despite his actual guilt), and Samarra kill her dauighter (or at least thats what you TELL everyone), and Jack get some catharsis for her tortured-child-crazy-person issues. You even take time off from preventing the extinction of all sentient life to deal with Krogan puberty. Its not as though ive used a stop watch, but I suspect that you spend more time doing team-mate loyalty missions, than on all the major plot-points of the game combined, including the finale. ANd before, and after, and during each one you TALK to them about it constantly.
Hell, yoyu even take pit stops along the way to settle bets bout presidium fish, and dispense relationship advice to Asari, and get boozy with Dr. chakwas about her co-dependency issues.
With al that it seems a little rediculous to claim that there isn't time for Shepard to take an hour one evening to cry on a friend's shoulder so to speak. Something to let us know she's at least a little bit human.
I agree. I dont want her to be all weepy, and useless. Thats not the tough-as-nails woman we've come to know and love playing. But thats not the same thing as never talking to anyone about any part of your life at all ever. I dont really see it as a gender-issue, now I think about it - tereotypes aside, its not as if men are born without feelings, either.
I'd like to see, as someone else suggested, the OPTION to do that. Just like you CAN be the mission-centric hardass, and tell your people you dont ahv etime for their personal problems, so you should be able to be the inhumanly stoic action heroine, and shrug it off your own setbacks with a casual "we have work to do". But you should be able to choose to go the other route as well. At least, I, for one, would enjoy it.
