Feel free to flame at me but I really don't get all the hype over the lack of the VS. We as gamers have little to no control over what Bioware put in their game and if they decide they don't want something, they don't put it in.
I think it's just the disproportion of it that bothers people. The VS get's the least screen time out of any ME1 squaddie and while that's not damning on it's own (unless they're all equal somebody's gotta be least) there's also no way for our interaction with the VS to end well. So not only were VS fans given almost no time with the character they were railroaded into a falling out while Garrus and Tali were romanceable squadmates, Wrex got a decent cameo, and Liara got her own DLC. I can understand being slightly pissed about that.
Sums it up very well, thank you
yep. we could even deal with horizon despite it being an incredibly blatant attempt to get people to move on to new love interests (and ended up inspiring a lot of shallow hate in a process), if there was something, anything at all. sure, if you romance them you get a non commital letter. but what about my renegade femshep who lost her best bud and partner in crime, Ashley? what about my mensheps who lost their best friend, Kaidan? they got nothing, BUT horizon.
and here we are, talking to hackett who found time to come to Normandy in PERSON and I understand that we're talking about something incredibly important her and of an enormous magnitute (a loss of entire system) but we can ask him so many different questions...but one. we cannot even ask him to pass the message along. there is no mention, nothing.
no shadow broker dossier - I mean, that guy was watching keepers and minor mercs on Omega, he has information on Anderson and Hacket himself, but nothing on VS, who happens to be one of the heroes of the cittadel and a classified (and therefor potentialy important to watch) operative? if shadow broker can get their hands on Hackets correspondence and Anderson movements, heck he knows whom TIM is sleeping with, when and how many cigars he smokes a day, and yet no info on VS? Liara mentions every single LI but the only mention VS gets, is if you take one specific renegade conversation option and even then, its rubbing the Horizon in.
with all of the above, it gets more and more difficult to beleive that developrs are not just writing VS out. And before anyone says anything about ability to kill your ME2 LI's - its much easier to save them then to kill them, you get cuddling on demand, and there are no other indications that developers might have nefarious plans for them.
so yeah... VS fans are not particularely happy right now. can you blame us?
