Oh yeah, promiscuous sex is real "enlightened".

What hooker? He had sex with  Liselle so he wouldn't take the redsand.


They had lots of sex before then, and sometimes he turns her down because he talked to Kahlee, his mystery woman.

She is called a hooker by other people in the book. They did have a relationship, and it wasn't a paid one if that's what you mean. I'm just saying he feels guilty when he's with another girl, when he was feelings for someone else.

By one Guy who called all Asari ****s who then later kills her. Grayson never paid for sex. And was thinking about his daughter when he tured here down.He was depressed that he could not see her again. He thought about his daughter may time in the book. He call Kahlee out of guilt because he doesn't want her life ruin by the Illusive man.


No he was thinking about Kahlee, because they've been talking for 3 years, and he cared about her since the end of book 2. And that one guy wasn't the only guy. And Aria had her sleep with him as a spy.

Threating the Illusive man to not attack someone = love?
And woman sleeping with men make them hookers?Image IPB

They were just using that as an insult.  It's quite common in various Mass Effect material since the asari have a very englightened view of sexuality that frightens other species.  Not the mention a fair bit of woman hating.  To be fair younger asari often (but not always) exchange sex for some sort of profit in their younger years.  Hooking has several negative connotations that don't really fit a lot of these but it probably does in a few cases.  However it's quite clear that hooking or any other kid of sex for money is not Liselles job as she currently works for Aria/Grayson is a mercenary capacity, so calling her a hooker is factually wrong.


I think Aria's own men called her that. And Aria had her have sex with Grayson as a spy.

However, Liselle cares for Grayson, and wasn't doing it for Aria or money. She wasn't paid. She really likes him. I get that.

If your care about someone and are attracted to someone, that's not love. But it can turn to that. That's what it is.

Again, she was called that by more them one person. Do you have any details saying she wasn't?

No, I think she's called that by others as well, like that batarian guy.

I'm pretty sure Aria's own people called her a hooker, **** etc as well, I'm not arguing that.  My point was from what we know she is not a hooker as she does not exchange sex for money on a professional basis.  Even sleeping with Grayson the first time is primarily done as a security matter and it apparently ends up leading to her caring for him so...even less of a hooker situation.  The only thing that seems confirmed is that she isn't only sleeping with Grayson, which also does not make her a hooker.  I won't go into the morality of it as that discussion will lead us nowhere good.

Just reread the first few chapter before Liselle death. It's just Kai Leng. No one else.

Ok, then maybe wrong choice of words. I could use the S word, but that seems too mean, since I like her.

I wish there was a look inside this book on Amazon so we could settle this for at the moment I'm to lazy to read it to confirm either way. For what it's worth I recall other people calling her several negative names, but I could easily be wrong.

I just finished chapter six. I read the first few sentences of seven and I also heard on the forums that Anderson is Admiral and Udina is the councilor?!?!



Now will that somehow be addressed, I can understand the admiral thing with the alliance promotion but to announce a councilor kind of hinders our efforts in-game.



Now is this because Anderson stepped down fro the council, or was fired? Will this be addressed in ME3 or somewhere else?

this makes me unhappy

Or you could just not judge her by an ancient, foreign standard that shouldn't even apply to her species?

**** I just went there didn't I? :P

The Bartarian was only the grayson and aria and never said a thing about Liselle with Grayson and would never call her a **** infront of Aria. Even it she didn't tell any Liselle was her daughter she would still snap him in two. No else talked.
It was Just Kai Leng.

Ok I was just rereading a bit of the novel, does the title 'Pirate Queen' for Aria just seem a little off somehow to anyone else?  Maybe if she had a nice hat it wouldn't seem so wrong to me.

Anderson describes talking to the Council as beating his head against the wall. I'm going to guess that he quit.

someone has already answered this perfectly (either this thread, or another) the whole admiral/counselor thing with Anderson & Udina is based on the default Shep choices already set in ME2 (if played without an ME1 import)
so I would believe all of Drew Karpyshyn's writing references are based solely on these, as opposed to what's "cannon" or not, since everyone has their own story in the game

oh I hope this can happen, so very much!!

I'm still bummed about the way Balak's fate has been handled & I'm hoping Vido's won't be treated the same way

I want to see them both crushed under my boot

Why do people think that the Reaper repurposing have something to do with "how they were programmed". Its been made pretty clear they're both organic and mechanical, and not truly an AI. They're another form of life, not a talking dreadnaught.

Then I guess you should have crushed them when you had the chance.

I am going through the book now and I had some thoughts:
 
Most people seem to think the authur messed up with the Anderson/Udina thing, but I disagree. What if it was done on purpose? Many people have suggested Anderon quit or was removed. I think this is very likely. They could not have said anything about it in the book because how do you mention he quit without supporting that Shep choose him? You can't say he used to be on the coucil, and you can't say he had never been on the council. The only thing they could say was that he is not on the council right now.... which they did.
 
Secondly, So far Reaper-Grayson seems like a perfict killing machine. The only thing I kept thinking to myself is "I would like to see if Shep could take him one on one." I know he dies (but I do not know how) but I think it would have been a good fight. You don't see Shep do much hand to hand, but they give you hints that Shep is realy good. (i.e. taking out two turians in afterlife like they were kittins, and taking out a varren with a kick to the face... god I love that one! Image IPB) What do you guys think?

I do wish I came fight Grayson in ME3. But well.....Image IPBnot going to happen. We still have Kai Leng.
As the thing with Anderson, It does not matter. Just flip Amaral to Counciler and back, in the end he's no longer it by the end of the book
