Pretty much how I feel. It should be noted that Saren was a xenophobe too, but he was also a war hero. What did Ashley achieve?


Saren wasn't a xenophobe. He was working with the Krogan. Saren just hated humans. There's a difference with hating one race and hating all but your own. 

Ashley is a war-hero as well, but she she didn't lead a group. She only followed orders. She never had to think about anything other than how to shoot an enemy.

Working with the Krogan or creating puppets to serve as his army while he tried to help the Reapers to harvest all life in the galaxy?

You seem like a tool the way you phrase things here,have you ever played mass effect? You seem to be using your personal dislike for the character to back up your assumptions.Ashley isn't a xenophobe no matter how many times you repeat the word and worst of all your saying that someone who doesn't like aliens can't be a spectre?
Seriously did you not play the first game? You know that crazy human hating spectre who pretty much tried to kill you all throughout the game?:wizard:
Im guessing its either you dislike the VS or your ego can't handle another individual being a spectre.....


I played it 5 times, thank you very much. And I liked Ash. I ****ed that girl 4 out of the 5 times. I used her in my squad most of the time when I was on a mission. She was a great character to keep around for a big fight. 
I am not using my dislike for her. I am using my evaluation of her character as a whole, and an evaluation of the position of Spectre.

She has the skills to do what Garrus did, yes, but not the emotional restraint, she lacks the intellectual capabilities, and she's too much of a xenophobe to even do half the things a Spectre has to do. She says blatenly that she doesn't like aliens, and the only reason she worked with them was because Shepard was in command. A xenophobe as a Spectre? A xenophobe evaluated by the Council and then sent to do work on worlds that may not have a single human living on them? No. She's a pawn. That's it. A really well skilled pawn. Any real Spectre would laugh her out of the room if they heard her say that she was Spectre material. 


Wrong.

Again.

^_^


How am I wrong? Did I misquote her? Is she not a xenophobe? She can use a gun really well. She is a real threat on the battle field, but that's it. Only i the battle field. A Spectre has to be able to get things done outside of the battlefield as well. Ash would only be able to put a team together if she slept with every member first. And, they would have to be human. That or threatened to kill them, and even then, that's not how you get a good team together. She can't talk her way out of any situation multi-race without putting her foot in her mouth. 


I'm not sure why I'd put any effort into what essentially comes down to an opinion.  You either think she's Spectre material, or you don't.  I do.  Thus, I think you're wrong.

Apparently, Bioware agrees with me. 

Wrong, yet again.

P.S. Saren was a xenophobe - hated humans.  Still was a legendary Spectre.

Going on a few top-secret missions isn't enough. They lack the charisma and leadership abilities. Ash is a pawn. A really well trained and skilled pawn, but she is in no way on the level of Garrus, Miranda or any of the people already granted Spectre status.


Nope, you're wrong.


Ash is a great soldier. I am not denying that. She is spec-ops level for sure. But can she do what Shepard did?


Of course she can't, that's sorta the point.  Shep is a one-of-a-kind.

Can she do what Saren did? What about Vasir? Can she do what Garrus did on Omega? 


Yup, she can.

Apparently things can get blown out of proportion real fast. She doesn't trust aliens, she doesn't hate them. Hell, she even criticizes Cerberus and Terra Firma. By the end of ME you can convince her to care for aliens (think Navigator Pressley). And how many SPECTREs do you know? Because apparently the ones you know are all more badass than the ones I do. The only good SPECTREs we've seen are Saren and Shepard. Nihlus and Tela Vasir were jokes compared to Ashley. And if saving the galaxy from Sovereign wasn't good enough to make her SPECTRE material, I don't know what the hell does.

So you're mad because Miranda and Kanye Jacob aren't in ME:3? You do realize the games still months from coming out and that Miranda will more than likely show up

She didn't save the galaxy! She was in the background. If the player wanted, she never even left the ship after Eden Prime. She was a pawn.

You are taking what she said out of context. She says she never had alot of experiance with aliens as she's been ground side most of her time in the military. And the whole "the council sicking us on the bear" comment is a logical argument not racism. Because what did the council do when we found out saren was going to Ilos? Her stance on aliens is not one of xenophobia, but of ignorance. You can't blame her for that. And the way the council doesn't lift a finger to help humanity ever how high of an opinion would you have of them.

If you never worked with aliens before and now all of a suddenly they are on your advanced experimental warship would you be quick to trust them?

They are too beholden to the Alliance to be good Spectres. They won't act on their own accord as a Spectre should, they will ask their Alliance superiors what to do.

And as we saw on Horizon, they lack the investigation skills to learn the truth.


They were investigating the Reapers. Anderson himself said. Besides, Shepard didn’t exactly defend his/her case well. That’s either Shepard’s fault (or more definitely, the fault of the BioWare writing team for that section), not Kaidan and Ashley’s.

good... if there's one thing about Ashley and Kaiden that was annoying was they always felt like spoiled kids, maybe being spectre will sort that out


Spoiled kids? Really? Because surviving a rigorous biotic camp and being blacklisted because of actions your grandfather did really makes you spoiled. Working for the organization that did these things to you also makes you spoiled. Yep. Logical.

One way or another I will get my revenge for their actions on horizon . I might not be able to kill them because in ME 1 I sent Ashley to die and Its bull Sh*t that she is alive in 2. If I can not kill them they will suffer on the Ship simple as that . You think I am a little extreme well here is something to think about . Would you take any one talking sh*t about you and calling you a traitor with out wanting to deal with her in a harsh way . hell no there is no one would stand for that crap.


Glad you hate two characters for really no reason other than Horizon, which isn’t their fault. And yeah, Shepard’s working for a known terrorist organization two years after dying. If I was in the military, went MIA, and showed up working for Al-Qaeda in two years, damn right the military would call me a traitor.

Besides, they apologized for Horizon. They are mature enough and smart enough to try and fix the relationship. Shepard has no option to send them an email, and not only that, you want to kill them. Yes, Shepard is a very mature hero indeed.

These are the reasons they would be good Spectres:

What did Ashley do. form the start - she held off against overwhelming number of Geth, despite not knowing much about them beyond basic high school info. Managed to get a ton of commendation and promoted several times despite her entire family being black listed and eventualy assigned to the Normandy.

what did Kaidan do? come out of the BAAt training a functional human being, one of the few rare stable l2 biotics, multiple commendations, only one rank bellow Shepard despite questionable biotic status (L2's are not exactly trusted by majority of people), personally selected by Anderson (just like Shepard) to serve on a Normandy as a head of Marine detachment.


Shepard isn’t the only person in the universe, nor is he/she the only Spectre. Whether or not Ashley and Kaidan are Spectres in ME3, they deserve it. And they’d be competent at it.

Ashley has the drive, and she would’ve succeeded more had her family not been blacklisted. She kept getting crap assignments because of that. Kaidan had several special commendations. Both fought with Shepard to help save the Citadel. That’s damn impressive for Spectre candidacy.

Saren was a Turian. Turians, at that time, still didn't like Humans thanks to the First Contact War/Relay Incident. At this time, Humans were not ont he Council, so Spectres didn't have to work with humans too much. Anderson and Shepard were the 1st two humans (that we know of) that Spectres had to work with. So, at the time, it wasn't a big deal for a Turian Spectre to hate humans. Shepard's (along with Garrus') actions are what really cooled the Turnian-Human relationship.

Not the point, though. What Ash is or isn't, or what she can or cannot become, is completely irrelevant.  The point is "Must love aliens" isn't part of the job description of a Spectre. It's just a "rule" the person threw in there because he thought it somehow disqualified her.

Lol,seriously an evaluation of the position of Spectre? Have you gotten the MCQ questions for the written test given out to all candidates? Last time i checked Saren tended to put his foot in his mouth more often then necessary with how he deemed humankind. If your thinking that the Spectres are part diplomatic and part military then you haven't met Renegade Shep. A Spectre is someone who is capable of doing the councils dirty work and as long as you can fill that role its all fine and dandy with them,you dont need to have a political mindset to be a spectre.:wizard:

Have you ever heard of patience??You might wanna try it some time. Beside Ashley/Kaidan/Liara fans had to wait one whole game to get their favorite characters back so of course biowares gonna announce them as companions first. You getting angry at this is like me getting angry because Grunt hasn't been announced as a squad mate

Sorry if I'm late to the party here, but where was it said that the VS is a Spectre?

Or is this Spectre talk just speculation?
