So I have a couple links for a couple polls that Mondo47 set up after a discussion on demographics and love interests for Mass Effect. She posted the links earlier in the day. I thought I'd catch a few posters from later in the day.
Female Love Interests
Male Love Interests

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.

This. After all that Shepard has done for her squadmates and crewmembers, I was hoping that some of them would be like, "Hey Shepard, thanks for doing this for me. If you need anything, just ask." Or, "Shepard, anytime you need to vent, come look for me."

This. It would add more than it detracts and it doesn't have to be over the top or anything.

While I agree, Shep isn't completely ignored in that respect.
Shepard(talking to Kelly): I've been through a lot too. One of your therapy sessions sounds great right now.
Not an exact quote, but you get the idea. Plus if you have dinner with Kelly later, it's clear that you they spent all night talking. Although depending on which of my Shepards, it can be "talking", as opposed to talking...
Anyway, it would've been nice if there had been some actual screen time with Shep talking to Kelly proper.

This one may fancy itself a middling-to-passable wordsmith and be considering a bit of a ficlet in precisely the vein the others describe. It would, however, need to know roughly where in the story arc that dinner occurs if one takes every opportunity offered to flirt with the Yeoman, as it has been some time since a "dedicated Kelly" playthrough. It would also be unable to describe any Shepard's reaction but its own, but it would nevertheless offer something.

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.Delerius_Jedi wrote...

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.
Thats very true.

Oh snap!!!!! I think there should be a "long hair for ME3" movement lol.
I really like the wild and wavy style. Of course some people will argue that she is in the military and there are regulations. But in ME3, who knows if she'll still be working for Cerberus or the Alliance. If she isn't, I can't see why she can't have more crazy hairstyles and even jeans and a hoodie like some people have mentioned before.
"I'm Commander shepard ****! *smacks alliance Brass with pistol* lol I mean seriously, the savior of the gallaxy should hae whatever style of hair they want.

Something like the locker scene in ME1, minus the romance path being necessary, would have been nice I think. Just a moment of human weakness.
I didn't like the cybernetics. And I think they're deeper than "just a few implants" considering the whole scars and missing bones issues. But... *shrug?*
JamieCOTC wrote...
Agree, 100%. The thing is, she DOES get to take that one hour and cry on a freind's shoulder. Unfortunately, it is w/in the Jacob romance, a good character, but a terrible romance. Sort of reminds me of the toilet scene from Trainspotting. You have to go through a lot of crap to get that extra special something.
