Is it really fair to attack the GI preview of Ashley as being dramatically oversexualized?

I don't care what she wears off the battlefield. However I refuse to accept Ashley if she's wearing that catsuit on the field of battle. To me this wont be the same Ashley I romanced and stayed loyal to. No, instead she'll be Miranda 2.0 which I, and any self-respecting Ashley Fan, never asked for.


Wow talk about being superfical, judge her as a Miranda 2.0 on apperance only from a single screen shot months before release. There's more to her character then just her appearance.

Damn right I will. When a person changes who they are just to turn into a sexed up Barbie Doll that they said they hated and never wanted to be is when I lose all interest in them. What Bioware has done with this new 'battlefield armor' reveal is turn Ashley into a Hypocrite because they want to sell her like a sex object just like Miranda.

@OP my main objection is that by stealing Samus's zero suit and wearing that, Ashley directly contradicts what she said in ME1.

"Kaidan: Those Asari commandos are impressive. Lightly armoured, but their speed more than makes up for it.
Ashley: Unless that speed lets them outrun bullets, I’m more inclined to stick with nice solid armor and a big gun.
Kaidan: Point taken."

anyone ever consider that this is her casual outfit? She's a Spectre so she's bound to have a new outfit since this is a redesign. your quote hits the nail on the head, she prefers armor, matter of fact, every specte we've seen has Armor. Saren, Shepard, Nihlus, and Vasir had Armor. She has Armor on Horizon (and she's probbaly already a Spectre there we need the game to find out when Ashley and Kaidan Get promoted) and since she's fought on the front lines for the majority of her caree, she'll always have armor. I doubt you'd get her in combat in a jumpsuit unless someone boarded a ship she was on and didn't have time to put on her heavy armor.

I just don't think that they'd put that much detailt into a casual outfit, remember what garrus was wearing when he came to Shepard's quarters?

But it's still Kaidan--he just looks sexier because his face is high-res now.  They didn't go and add twenty pounds of muscle or slap him in a leotard.

Ahh, my friend. The things she did for my Shepard that night pre-Ilos and the following nights aft..... oh, wait. I wasn't suppose to tell - Never mind.

That was in bed.

I'd wear a Wonder Woman costume for my boyfriend if he asked me, but not in public.  If he expects me to change who I am on a day-to-day basis, however, I'm dumping his ass.  Why?  Because if he doesn't love me for who I am, then what the hell did he fall in love with in the first place?


But is he the guddam Saviour of the Citadel? Fight husks and collectors just to start? Does the galaxy depend on him to save their behinds from total destruction? If he is, where do you live?

Hell, I would dress like Wonder Woman for my Shepard in public .... except, I am my Shepard.

Thank God! That Wonder Woman outfit would not look good on me and I would most definitely get arrested for public obscenity. Image IPB

Untrue. Bioware wants to sell sex more blantantly now so that means that Kaiden is now three sizes bigger in bed.

Serisouly for me Ashley without an heavy armor is not ashley imo. Thus, if BioWare persist I will be force to kill her in all my game for the greater good of Kaiden.... B)

Yes. I find it laughable that they gave Kaiden HEAVIER armor, because he's a man, than they turn Ashley into Miranda 2.0 despite her being a Soldier that wore Medium to Heavy Armor. I mean, seriously. What is this?

Her appearance was sexy-yet-practical, pretty much the ideal balance for a lady soldier--especially the "Soldier" part, as actual armor was part of her attire. It suited her attitude as well--she was flirty when she wanted to be, but not to the point where you viewed her as a sex object. Switching to form-fitting jump-suit, make-up, and letting her hair down all in one swoop, though? Serious alarm bells.

I just prefer not to jump to conclusions until I have a full-body image and some idea what the execution's like.



Well we basicly just saw one image of her and Kadian is wearing the same type of outfit who's to say thats not the new alliance uniform and they have on something different in battle

She'd be denying her own preferences in an attempt to please Shepard just because he couldn't keep it in his pants.
How is that *not* submissive?


Couldn't keep it in his pants? She told him to f#$% off and get f#$% off of Horizon. That's not an inability to keep it in his pants, that's called moving on instead of dwelling on some chick that left his ass. And making some changes to win someone back isn't SUBMITTING TO THEIR WILL. Like PMC said, we all make changes to be with each other, not a little, A LOT. If we didn't we'd all be throwing temper tantrums like oversized todlers and no one could be with anyone.

It reeks of no self-respect/love/esteem, which definitely isn't Ash's style. As Chee said, if a man cheats on her, she wouldn't be trying to win him back, she'd be punching the living daylights out of him.


So if you were to dress up for a date, or maybe pay a little more attention to your appearance because you know you're going to be working with someone that you want, whom you treated like crap after they came back to you after 2 years of being dead, it would reek of no self-respect/love/esteem? Oh for God's sake, stop saying that people. No one cheated on anyone! He f#$% for 2 years, came back Ashley told him she wanted nothing to do with him and he got a new LI. That's not cheating. That's not even close to cheating. And if anyone f-d up it was the former LI for being such a dick, when the guy comes back from the DEAD after 2 friggin' years. You think people would be a little more appreciative of a friggin' miracle.

She's not some teenager to fall into such moods to begin with. She's a seasoned soldier, a resolved woman and damn strong person.


She's also not a rock. You put anyone smack dab in the middle of the apocolypse and lost love and they'll crack so hard and fast, it would make your jaw drop to see it.

Noone's saying they want Ash to remain a static character, what we're saying is we don't want her character to do an 180º.
Further, your "on the spot", if anything, only came to make the situation worse instead of showing a natural evolution of the character.


Then what the f is the problem. I've never said anything but that it wouldn't be the end of the world if Ashley changed a little IF there was a resonable explanation for it in the plot. And posed a strictly hypothetical situation that may or may not explain the pic we've seen.

I also posed the possibility that she has to seduce someone to achieve an ends. We're spitballing here people.

My, "on the spot" didn't do any f#$%ing thing because it's a completely random made up explanation for the pic that has no bearing what-so-ever on anything.

That's not the point - I don't think anyone would mind seeing her with a mini-skirt and thigh-high boots if she went on, say, a date with Shepard.
People mind she's wearing makeup and wearing an unpractical, revealing suit into a battlefield. That's not the Ashley we met and talked with in Mass1 and saw in Mass2.


Oh my god dude. I have stated repeatedly, and by that I mean at LEAST two times on each of the last four pages, that it would be ridiculous if she wore that makeup and jumpsuit into combat. Do your homework man.

 The new Ashley is a total retcon. If they wanted to make her hot, they should've done so from the beginning. It isn't difficult.

Actually, it was: Mass Effect only used on female body model throughout the game.

Well, in my head, he's even better than that, but that's dumb kids in love for you.  However, Ash knows Shepard on a personal level, and while the fact that he's a big goddamn hero has earned her deepest respect, she's not about to show up on the battlefield in a bikini for him.  Just like Jack wouldn't wear a frilly pink skirt just to impress Shepard, Tali wouldn't get a boob job for Shepard, Miranda wouldn't fight naked for Shepard, Garrus and Kaidan wouldn't wrestle in their boxers for Shepard, etc.

Yes, the LIs would all take a bullet for Shepard (well, maybe not Jack), but they wouldn't change everything about themselves just to impress the (wo)man who saved the galaxy.  They may open up and share parts of themselves no one else sees, they may goofily show off on a date, buy little presents, whatever, but NONE of them, and I mean NONE of them, will abandon the core of who they are just to inflate Shepard's ego.

Jack will always be crude and disrespectful.
Garrus will always be hot-headed and heroically stupid.
Thane will always be quiet and reflective.
Miranda will always be professional and controlling.

...and so on and so forth...

... and Ashley will always be Ashley.  Ashley does not compromise who she is to flatter someone else, and she does not go into combat without appropriate equipment.

Failure to the highest degree.

I mean, jeez, it's not like Bioware is afraid of female tanks (Aveline).

Exactly. Everyone complaining about how Ash has been transformed into Miranda clearly hasn't realized that THEY HAVEN'T PLAYED THE GAME, and that WE ONLY SAW THE TINIEST FRACTION OF ONE PICTURE.

Now if she wears some skin type outfit into battle ... that would be odd. Personally I would love both the option for her little white & pink armor for nostalgic reasons as well as something more update.

In ME2 some of the crew always made me uncomfortable to send into battle ... Samara, Miranda, Kasumi, Thane and Jack. They were really not dressed for battle and sorta threw me out of the game play. "Really? You would wear that in the middle of a gunfight?" I had to scratch off Jack, because she was just so crazy I really didn't worry. Besides when my Shepard did say something .... she just looked at him, flipped him off as she said "**** off, Shepard!" OK, I get it ... Crazy is a protective suit, just ask the guy on Feros in the tunnels.
