Wow. I have played both ME1 and ME2 several times but never have I felt that type of tender emotion in Mass Effect. I would love to see Shepard cry just once. Shepard seems too hard to cry. I just wanted to say that little touch with the kid was awesome.

Shepard has never shown that side to us. Shepard is never vulnerable emotionally. I think if you make Shepard vulnerable and have a good cry it will be good for me personally and add much weight to the legend of the character. Pardon the expression but **** just got real.:crying:

Damn I actually like the Shepard character. I feel for him. Kudos to the team.
Never thought this would happen. Kinda felt like Ripley in "Aliens".

Something that will need to be addressed, the Arrival DLC made a tuff choice for us. Shepard needs to show emotional fatigue for making the hard choices. I would like to see some signs of PTSD. Good job guys this is a historical undertaking. 10/10.

 
Remember victory always has a price. What is victory for Shepard Casey asked? The game has much to say if you are listening. What is victory for you? Causation. Watch the clip below. Men with big sticks cry too.

I notice that the kid face expression looks almost real

victory to me is probably winning a war with the least amount of people died

My Shepard spontaneously hugging people was bad enough

I'd leave his snot nosed bum to die in the stupid vent, because my shepard is just that hardcore.

Nah, I just hate kids in games, especially when we're forced to HELP them; What if I wanna leave them, or....kill them?

Why stop there? Pop a cap in his head, you can claim it was a better and more noble death than he would have received, and you'll still look like a total hardcore badass.

I'd only want to kill the kid to see Anderson's reaction.

*pop*

"Shepard, did you just..."

"Let's get out of here."

"I really think we should talk about what you just did"

"We could. Or I could get to the Normandy with one less person."

"Off we go."

I certainly agree that the option to have your Shepard show emotional fatigue (to a degree) would be welcome... at least down the paragon path, as that Shepard is the one that copes with her / his conscience - worries about doing the "right" thing and is an empathetic, compassionate person.

The renegade suffering from emotional fatigue likely wouldn't make as much sense since the character shows a near psychotic level of resolve and determination... he or she likely isn't emotionally burdened by the death and plight of others.. Renegade shep is a very goal-oriented person and wouldn't give two squirts over other people's problems and suffering.. so it wouldn't make too much sense for her / him to suffer much on an emotional level... about the only emotion I expect from a pure Renegade Shep is anger, frustration, impatience, insolence, determination.... not a person burdened with empathy or compassion like paragon Shep would be.

I must be immune.  I just thought of the scene as an addition, didn't really feel much emotion for some reason.  Not much thought on that small sample of music either.   Seeing that reaper land kinda gave me the sense of urgency though.

I dunno, my renegade Shepard is a pretty compassionate guy to non-enemies. Technically he's a renegade but he has a soft heart too so it wouldn't be out of character for him to show a little empathy to a child, particularly since this particular Shepard was an Earthborn and knows how it feels to grow up alone.

Well, you did have the option to either try and help or tell the kid to get the hell out on its own. That's pretty good IMO.

You're describing a Paragade... I said Renegade (meaning almost pure Renegade choices / actions). A "proper" / full renegade Shep has never displayed any semblance of compassion or empathy... just cold, hard, calculated efficiency. If you take the full Renegade route (90-100% Renegade dialogue / actions.. what I consider a "proper" renegade), then that is not a person that has a soft spot anywhere in them.

I refer to the actions / dialogue that a proper renegade makes throughout ME1 & ME2.... no kindness, no compassion, no empathy (most certainly not even to her / his closest friends.... even the renegade dialogue towards one's chosen lover still belittles them in some manner)... thus, it is not reasonable to assume a pure renegade would feel any emotional stress other than sheer exhaustion from years of warfare or frustration from not being able to achieve one's goals in an ideal manner.

Your character is a paragade.... Harsh, cruel (renegade choices) to outsiders / strangers, but kind, friendly (paragon choices) to those you know... your character is not renegade. Just as a paragon is not a paragon unless the overwhelming majority of their actions / dialogue are paragon path... a mix of the two is once again, paragade (Paragades are technically far more realistic... as most human beings are shades of gray).
