This has been a LONG ****ing chapter.

Longest chapter we've done was 15 pages in Works.

So far? This one is 17, and it's just over half way done.

A LOT going on this time around...

Normally, Jones writes the chapters, all of them, and I edit. For this one, I'm writing the first Two Thirds, and my Writing is VERY discriptive...

Almost envy Jone's gift of brevity...

Daaang.

That one's going to take awhile to read.

Zaeed is basically the "tough grizzled guy" archetype used so many times in other Bioware games.

Fireflies

*Its warm summers night , Shephard leads  Tali  blindfold  through an open field  to a small cover of trees by a pond * 

Tali: Shephard  were a going..*  holding to his hand*  

Shephard : A very special place..its magical. *smiling* 

Tali: are you high?   

Shephard: No silly... but you'll understand when we get there   * gentle grabbing hold of her shoulders*  Stop... ready   *pulls off the blindfold  Tali sees hundreds of small yellowish green lights fluttering about  over the  still waters of the pond.  The moon hanging about  them* 

Tali: Shephard... this is, its beautiful  what are they? 

Shephard: Fireflies    

Tali * Hold out her hand as on flutters just above her palm*   they so pretty.  

Shephard: Some say they are spirits and bring good luck , when I little me and bunch of kids from the slums would come out here and camp out.  This is where made choice to join the Alliance. Maybe they are good luck... 

Tali: How? 

Shephard:  That choice to enlist lead me to you

I seriously cried when we talked about... you know...

Would a large assortment of pictures posted at once cheer you up?

I'm fine now.

But the other day, Jones and I were discussing a particular moment in Reckoning, and I actually cried when I thought about it. Not gonna lie. Don't think everyone will feel the same... but... God damn...

Hmm... not the right place to ask, but how Reckoning coming along? Can I expect another well crafted chapter, soon perhaps?


On topic- Always wonders why Quarians used polarized or tinted facemasks. I mean I can understand the need for privacy on constricted ships, but why would the suit's be designed to hide their faces when they first fled Rannoch.

Think it came about as time went on? Just seems odd though for a social people to knowingly restrict themselves like the Quarians did, I mean how hard would it be for them to just use clear visors? Thoughts?

Probably looking into this too much.

No.

But it reminds me of "The Tooper" by Iron Maiden.

Wrex still trumps him, and any other character in that area.

Seems like Zaeed is a bit of a loner. I wonder about his past. So far as the game goes it's just been "merc."

He probably just doesn't want to get attached to anyone/anything on the Normandy.

Well his whole being there revolves around the huge contract he got from Cerberus. Shepard helping Zaeed with Vido was to get Zaeed prepared for the suicide mission.

Dat Look:

If bioware brought back Tali or Garrus because they had unfinished business with Shepard in ME1 and it HAD to be finished in ME2, then I'm fine. But I really believed that Tali's story should have ended in ME1. She only came along because she helped us find evidence against Saren PLUS she also knew a lot about Geth, the enemy that we fought for most of ME1. So it made sense to have her on the team, we get to use for for her knowlege of the Geth and she uses us for her pilgramage. Then by the end of ME1, her story really should have ended that. She helped us with the Geth/Saren and she recieved data to help her on her pilgrimage...her story should have concluded there and we both move on. OH BUT WAIT! Her story could not have concluded in ME1 because we couldn't romance her! So in an attempt to prevent backlash from not happening by excluding Tali from ME2, Bioware brings Tali back in ME2 and allows her to be a romance option to essentially "shut the fans up". Because in all honesty, I really believe Bioware had plans other than Garrus and Tali in ME2 but given how people wanted to romance them, they have to change gear and "fit them in" ME2. Thus taking away space for what they would have originally done had people not wanted to romance Tali and Garrus so bad.

If that's your opinion your entitiled to it, However it has already been noted and discussed. Now would be the time to bow out gracefully. Seriously informative text walls a great an' all, but this is borderline trolling at this point.

See thats just the thing. People assume that I am trolling because I have some negative views about Tali but that isn't the case. I'm not trying to start a flame war or anything. I just want to have a discussion about what are other people's opinions about Tali playing a role in ME2 vs that role being played by a new Quarian.

This is the Tali thread, where most if not all the Tali fans come to post. So I want to know what they have to say about Tali possibly taking up space for what would/could have been a NEW Quarian squadmate (male or female) in ME2. THAT is what I want to discuss but it would appear that such intelligent discussion isn't possible here as most of the discussion is short and simple nonsense.

Trolling is when I'm trying to angry people or say stupid stuff to get a stupid response. No, I'm trying to generate a thoughtful discussion about what possibilities ME2 could have had if Bioware did not bow down to the popular demand and bring back Tali for ME2.

The cramped conditions of the Flotilla probably made the Quarians want what little privacy they can get. So after some time they probably tinted their visors.
