Thanks for the feedback folks :happy: *hugs*


And thanks Akari for the picture help. Mine looks rather drab when comparing it to that!  I was a bit scared to go to crazy but you can really get some cool effects. I will go back and have a play.  Thanks a lot!!

Keep playing with it, if ya are unsatisfied. . . And yes stepping away is a good idea! My last photo I posted underwent more changes to it. . (*whispers* I like the challenge sometimes!)



BTW Something that has helped me with photo edits has been to stop by various book stores and just browse though a few magazines or books with various photos in them . . . they can give you various ideas! (I sometimes mix and match!)



*thumbs up* on the pics!

Part of me wants to object that there are also girls who are relatively uninterested in character development... but yeah, the deck is stacked against me on this one. *sigh*

lol. well, good point. i find it not just character development, but consistency. shepard is not a stupid person. to not reflect on the only scientificly recorded resurrection EVER? - makes shepard seem a little dim, imo.

To be honest, though, I don't like the first half hour of this game, and I don't like the last half hour either. Everything inbetween? Brilliance.

see, i liked the suicide mission alright. even the baby t2000. and the first bit is okay too. i just hate that you never a get a straight answer about shep's death and how they brought her back. either a) they've got soemthing crazy up their sleeves or the writers don't know themselves.

a, i can look forward to. b just makes me go <_<

Sad but true, in my experience. In fact, every IRL friend of mine who games doesn't like Mass Effect. Why? Too much talking.

Oh lord this is true.  And then here I am going, where's all my crew dialogue?  How come everyone stopped talking to me?  Bawls.

...it just bugs me that there are so few options to reflect on it.

Are there any? Everything seems like:&nbsp;"I'm back! Stop talking, start shooting!" <_<

After all, this whole death has been wasted in my eyes.

I agree.  But I feel like a lot of story and dialogue opportunities were missed in exchange for action and pacing and what have you.  Mass Effect 2 is not a personal story.  No introspection for you.

The few instances where it's addressed I can remember
- If you romance Jacob he asks how you're dealing with everything.  Shep can express frustration that everyone's changed, but for her it's like no time has passed
- In LotSB Liara asks how Shep really feels about the situation.  Shep can respond she's hopeful, worried, or frustrated.  I love the frustrated response.  Hell yes I'm frustrated, I'm being used by everyone around me and no one seems to care

A lot of people will never ever see these two dialogues either.  One requires a Jacob romancing femShep and the other is DLC.

I feel almost compelled to fill in the blanks with fanfic, which works for me alright.  I can get alot more detailed and personalized with fanfic at least. 

One of my favorite details about Caroline was her first moments alone in her cabin on the SR2.  She's still all scarred up from the surgeries, and she's looking over her body in the mirror and for the first time realizes all her previous tattoos are gone.  Her entire back was essentially a memorial to Mindoir, she's had it for almost a decade, and wakes up to find this huge part of her identity gone.  Initial feelings of shock, followed by rationalization (it's just skin, there are bigger things to worry about, at least I'm alive), followed by the bigger question of is this even my body anymore?  What else has changed?  Caroline's sense of humor dictates this is immediately followed by anger (damn all that work was expensive, over 50 gorram hours of work...I'm gonna kill Miranda.)  And Shepard being Shepard, she just bottles all this up and soldiers on--the irreverant "I got better" Shepard we see in-game.

We find out in ME3 that Shep was brought back to life using some crazy Reaper tech and it's integral to the resolution of the story.

...or it was a giant pointless reset button that will never be addressed again.

Yes, I see your point.

[Captain Crash]

"No! I must kill the REAPERS" I shouted

The radio said "No, Shepard. You are the Reapers"


Yeahhhhhhh <_<

I just want my Shepard to be a normal person again after the Reapers are defeated (we defeat them right? Ermm...) She retires, gets her man (or woman or blueberry), and buys a house. An awesome house with an armory and a gun range. Before I start rambling that is my hope: ME3 ends victorious and Shep gets to be a normal person again after the Reaper defeat. A normal person with superhuman strength. Because I think she's stuck with that.

How about, "gets the apartment back and jaunts out to Pinnacle Station whenever"? 

[Captain Crash]

I think we all want the same. 

But a "normal" existence will be hard after ME3.  She will undoubtedly be the most famous person in the Galaxy. The media will be hounding her more then the Royal Family!  Those upgrades wont be going anywhere either, she will always have her physical power as well as the strong character we as a player have developed for her.   

End result is finding a nice place in the middle of nowhere where you can relax and escape to the point where nothing in the universe matters. Just you and blueberry!   :happy:

*wistful sigh* Yeah.  I love that stupid apartment.

Yeah, except for those masochists that want Shep to make the ultimate sacrifice.

[Sentox6]

I want the Reapers to be eradicated, at the cost of most of the known galaxy being left in ruins. After striking the final blow, Shepard will be propelled into the core of the nearest supernova, leaving her LI absolutely heartbroken. Said LI will suffer a nervous breakdown, and spent several years in a mental asylum before finally losing all will to live and committing suicide with a smile on their face and tears in their eyes.

The remnants of the Alliance and Council will actively suppress all knowledge of Shepard's involvement to cover up their own inaction, and in turn she will fade into obscurity, her ultimate sacrifice a missing page in the history books.




I'm just kidding.

I really hope that isn't the case. I can just picture some final confrontation with Shepard mind jacking a Reaper and taking on Harbinger 1v1, or something equally ridiculous.

Well only time will tell I guess.

[Shadow_Soul]

If Shep has to kill herself to destory the Reapers....there is going to be ALOT of pissed off people/fans.



@ELE

Nice pic of Inta'sei. Also, nice new avi.



Oh, and if anybody has good pics of the ship/apartment/cabin etc. I could borrow. I need some for when I try photoshop. So far, I suck. But, am really trying. Will post when I'm done...if I don't give up, or if it really sucks.

[ADLegend21]

in the end of the game which is probbaly when all the space fights will happen i wantShepard to engage harbinger in conversation and then in the ULTIMATE apragon/ renengade moment, either (renegade) fire one massive attack that kills the reapers or send his.her army into battle or (paragon) convince some of the reapers to turn on him and divide and conquer or make them elave the galaxy alone.



or if all else fails Shep ressurects the human reaper, finishes it and leads their fleet on the shoulder of it like a badass (Chignon knows what I'm talking about)

eh, but most of the shooter crowd would be bored by such introspection, i'm sure.

Same here, mostly. The only people I know that like Mass Effect are RPG crowd, all shooter fans I know think combat is OK, but they don't bother with the game because there is too much talking (and there are more than enough good cover shooters out there).

It seems to be a common complaint that Bioware sacrificed a lot of the original Mass Effect's RPG parts to please a new audience (shooter guys). I don't really think that's the case (I think it just improved gameplay immensly) because the FPS crowd I know even skip the cutscenes in a Call of Duty to get to the action faster. Marketing a dialogue-and-cutscene monster like Mass Effect to them is just a silly idea.



About the apartment from Pinnacle Station: Is that the Mako outside? Can you actually drive around in it or do you get beamed straight to your apartment?

Ultimate sacrifice or ultimate butt-kicking?

Which is odd since the Reapers kill thousands of people without blinking an eye and I doubt they'd care about killing one person regardless of how "special" said person may or may not be. It would take millions of deaths to make a difference not one.

There's an apartment on Pinnacle Station?!

@Ryn

Really liked the video, I was wondering when I'd see something with Shai.

@Crash

I like your photo manip! Really cool stuff.

@ELE

I want the apartment back on Intai'sei because it's awesome... plus I wanna take Thane there. XD

What I'd really like to see for Holly is that she get some peace. It seems like she's fought so hard for so long. On Mindoir, on Elysium, against Saren and the Geth, now The Collectors. Not to mention she fell in love with a dying man.

My ideal ending would be she somehow saves Thane and retires somewhere nice with him. No more fighting, no more death. That would be her dream.

I haven't been posting here too much; I have Dragon Age 2 on the brain...



Evie would definitely be a shooter fan.  She doesn't have patience for lots of talking in her real life, let alone having the patience to do it in a video game.  I imagine this scenario, for some reason...

::Garrus is playing a video game, Evie plops down next to him::
Evie:  Whatcha playing?
Garrus: Dragon Effect 12
::Evie watches him play for 10 minutes and then gets bored::
Evie: Ugh, so much TALKING!  Just kill something already.
Garrus: Hush, the king is telling me about the old lady who got kidnapped
Evie: Why do you care?
Garrus:  ::long-suffering sigh:: She has the ancient key that I need to get into the mountain temple...
Evie: Booooooooring
Garrus: ... so I can awaken the sleeping god of ice so he can tell me where to find the...
Evie: ::pushes a button::
Garrus: OH MY GOD YOU MADE ME KILL THE KING

[Cyansomnia]

 I could imagine Garrus and Moira playing something like Call of Duty together.  

I'm thinking he'd be more of an FPS fan, since he's a sniper and all.

[Shadow_Soul]

@Leggy

Lol.



Lili has patience....sometimes. Lia would be such a shooter fan, it's not funny. Athena would rather blow things up in real life. Titra has a bit of patience, thanks to meditating, but she still likes to blow stuff up. Elizabeth would be able to sit through talking, but she's not a fan of videogmaes. Maria, it depends for her.
