Ok, I bought myself a seriously badass video card for no reason. So here's some Justice at ultra high settings with everything turned up:

8x anti-aliasing, too? Or is it 16x highest? What card, if I may ask? Been thinking myself if I should get 6000-series Radeon to replace my 5870...

Did you guys romance Jack in ME2?


I really really want to romance Jack. But I can't get through with DudeShep, can't stand Meer's dull VAing. It drives me absolutely nuts.

I won't ever say he is boring after realizing he is Jethann VA too. I think they told him to be repressed and righteous and heroic, otherwise I cannot explain how it can be the same person.

I didn't romance Jack, I didn't even like her too much...As femShep I was tempted by Tane but always went to Garrus in the end, and as male I would have probably tried Tali.


Yeah, he was great as Jethann! But still, I can't get around the fact he's dull as Shepard. Maybe not his fault, but it's still unbearable... :crying:

If she were a dude or a token lezzie option, I would have :innocent:

But noooo, my manshep is The Only Gay In Space and my femshep is apparently only into alien cloacas.

This scene is so creepy for me because the blue glowy bits are on his cheeks. His eyes are scary. :lol:

EDIT

If Meer used Jethann's voice for dudeShep I would never play as a female ever again.

My canon Amelia Shepard romanced Jacob because he was hot, oh and also human which is convenient. He's boring as hell though.

My guy Shepard romanced Jack. I think she's an awesome character, probably my 2nd fave after Samara. The romance was really unsatisfying though.


Jacob is boring as hell. There was nothing about his personality that was attractive. Thane was too weepy for me. I felt like I had known Garrus forever. They kept his character without changing it too much. He was the right amount of normal and weird for me.XD


I stayed loyal to Kaidan.
But it was hard. Very hard. And by the end I was like WTF is the point of staying loyal to a guy you never talk to? I should TAP GARRUS.
But I never did. I just watched youtube vids of his romance and cried myself to sleep.


I couldn't stay loyal to Kaiden after what the ****** said on Horizon. I went straight to Garrus's arms in angry tears going "**** Kaiden and the Elcor he rode in on. Garrus, you wouldn't say such mean things to me would you?"

"Well Shepard I..."

*cue the sound of lips crashing against mandibles*


Yeah I wanted to punch him in the jaw after that little exchange.
Like someone here so truly said, it was like, "WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL ME?!" "I was a little...dead."

LOL@Lips crashing against mandibles.

Regarding the Calling. I really dunno about that. It's never actually mentioned in DA2, and anyway I think Justice can probably have some sort of influence in the whole process - Wynne's spirit kept her from dying too.


The taint can't really be stopped. The calling is the near overpowering call of the old gods, it doesn't cause death.
If the Warden has the willpower to resist at first, and doesn't die of the taint, he or she becomes a ghoul until the taint finally kills them.

Does Justice want to possess a ghoul? If not, I suggest we stick to the: "I'm going to go die in the deep roads" plan.

Guilty. Though I want my fictional romance laced with melodrama and angst. That's why it's always the seriously damaged guys/girls I go for in video game romances...

I guess I should try a bit less stable real life relationship to quit the fictional addiction. But alas, drama is only fun when you can walk out of it whenever you want.


See, that's the thing.  Anders is SOOO not my usual type.  I go for relatively stable guys in video games.  Not the most stable (Carth, Kaidan, Jacob); I like a bit more spice than that.  But Garrus, Alistair, Zevran, Valen Shadowbreath...those are the types of guys I usually romance.  Little bit of angst, lots of sweet and badass good guys.

And then Anders comes along, and it's an angstfest, and I'm addicted now like crack.  WAT.

That's why you just need a boatload of Shepards!  :wizard:  Kaidan has 5 FemSheps, and Garrus has 2 FemSheps of his very own.  (Even Thane and Jacob each have their very own.)

Thats what I keep thinking.  I mean if a spirit can cure a case of the deads, the taint must be a walk in the park.

I wish you could have said something like, "Well I'm sorry Kaiden. Next time I'll try to schedule death when it's more convenient for you, you ass."

Small little snippets of happiness are possible, but it will all drown in the overwhelming tide of ANGST.

Maybe after death, they'll be happier... :whistle:


Or set Avernus on the issue of avoiding the calling by supplying him with lyrium, darkspawn, at least a quarter of the contents of the Urn of Sacred Ashes, add a dash of blood magic, also a full examination of a certain Elf Mage who healed from an accelerated Taint and Calling.. and Viola! Calling averted...

:blush: I tried.




To be honest, I prefer romantic death scenes.
They're incredibly final.

You can even imagine them dying in one another's arms, with the whole "death's embrace" thing...

Just try to forget everything you know about darkspawn at this point.


Aimo did a heartbreaking one with Nate and her Aeducan, in a "What would have Been" if her Aeducan wasn't totally devoted to Alistair, the one panel with both of them holding eachother in the Deep Roads and both a bit older..oh god that was great. I would post it but I can't find it in her gallery.


Edit* Found it.

Edit:


DA2 doesn't go over 8x anti-aliasing, but I have everything turned up max. It's a 6970 2GB Radeon. It's a very big card. It's actually extending partway inside my hard drive cage.

edit: It takes a huge card to handle Anders. :wizard:

I hope we get a cool new LI in ME3. Someone that's neither too boring nor too alien.



...months later: new ME3 LI revealed to be a Batarian priest.

It was so unsatisfying.
Everyone around me is having delicious Garrus alienpeen, and I'm sitting here reading Kaidan's not-so-awesome email. "Maybe when things settle down...I don't know...". I was like, "ARE YOU SERIOUS? You better mean that you're going to kiss my feet when we next see eachother, you ass. I'm turning up the chance for sexy alien sex so I can be with you, you boring ingrate."

Ooo, that is seriously beefy indeed. Mine was... a year ago, lol. But it's not comfortable to run high-res and high anti-aliasing with everything turned up, gets just a touch laggier than what I like. It's not a major difference in looks, I think the high-res package makes up most of the difference. Still... now I'm tempted just for the sake of having a better hardware!:devil:

Edit: Actually, I underclocked mine... maybe I should set the clocks to default and see what happens before I spend 600e on another card, lol.

I'm excited that Garrus is a confirmed squadmate in ME3.
YEAH!
I'm going to get the game, pick it apart, then be like, "Man, when is DA3 coming out?"
Just like when Origins came out. I picked it apart and was like, "When is ME2 coming out? I'm bored."

lol

And he's DLC and only romanceable by female characters and will leave your party if you don't kill Garrus.

LMFAO!
Very true, my Shep is very sexually frustrated by now.
Why, oh why, Kaidan, must you be so cool in ME1? I just couldn't do it, even if he acted like a beast on Horizon. :crying:

Now I want to create a whole new Shep just to have sexytimez with Garrus.

I'm not that anxious about the next DA game. I'm a little worried about ME3 to be honest.
