until now They've been treated on in the same. similar love scenes, both have great characterizations, snarky, care for Shepard, both take a stand at Horizon and outright refuse to work for cerberus, and both send you a kind letter apologizing for Horizon and both are the secondary male and female lead in ME3, The ONE time they are not the same is in the S/S department when both have very strong demand for it. one characters S/S fan base gets acknowledged, the other doesn't.Progressive_Stupidity1 wrote...

This is completely unfair to half the VS fans then. Kaidan being a universal LI while ashley Isn't is just dividing the VS fans since only one side gets what they want while the other is left out and can't play their shepard's the way they want to without modding the game, which apparently isn't being supported by Origin. thanks alot ME team.
I understand disappointment but I don't see how it is unfair.

from what I hear from older members there used to be hatred between Ashley and Kaidan fans because of Virmire "ha I killed that racist b***h" and "I killed that whiny gay guy" and similar sentiments were hurled back and forth. That was unitl Horizon when both Characters acted the same way and were put on the sideline in ME2 that's when things cooled down between them and they started being friendly since both characters seemed ot be the ire of the writing team. Now with this Kaidan's S/S fans get to have their cake while Ashley's S/S fans don't and that just breeds jealously and anger since one VS is available in every game while the ohter is only available for manshep. make sense?SolidBeast wrote...

I keep hearing this talk of "dividing" and I don't get what it means.
I really hope nothing like this ever happens again. It'd be just what the Reapers want.

Any debate about fairness is just bound to go nowhere. I personally think it's unfair, and were our roles reversed I'd still think it's unfair, but it doesn't really matter. Being treated fairly wins us nothing if we both lose out. We all should stand together regardless, be happy for one another when things go right, and be supportive when things do not.

It makes sense, but IMO, it's stupid. This isn't about character fairness and equality, it is about people not acting like immature children when they don't (or do) get what they want. And such individuals have and always will exist in any fan group, so I wouldn't call it dividing the "VS fans"- If someone acts like an idiot about something, it doesn't matter which character they're a fan of - they don't represent "us", they don't represent "you", they represent themselves and their childish view of things, which to my mind becomes completely irrelevant the moment they start hating on me for something I had no control over.

I think that happens when it's the only thing you post, which is against the site rules. Because acting on a hunch, I could see the gif when I tried to quote your post. Type out a sentence or something to go along with it and see if it works.

This is the spoiler group, there is a topic about it. Nothing special though.

Each Shep gets one s/s option and one "bi" option. So, two each. Maybe femshep gets three if Kelly is also a romance option. She is in the script, but that, like a great many things, could have been cut.

They did a NG+, left Liara, and tried to Romance Ashley. They were unable to. All the dialogue they got was a discussion about Ashley being hungover after having a couple of drinks with Vega the night before. All other dialogue was a form of Zaeed dialogue from ME2.
FFFFF---
Romancing Ash w/ a femshep was never a big priority w/ me, but still this is both confusing and depressing as hell.
I completely agree. BW, what were you thinking?

Have they been really? Kaidan had less dialogues with mShep than Ash had with fShep in ME1. Kaidan didn't have his own cool introduction scene in ME1 like Ash had. Who's soldier-with-riffle animations we saw on Horizon? It's rather clear it was for Ash and they just copy+pasted it on Kaidan, ignoring his biotics and all. Phoenix armor on Kaidan in ME2 Prologue. Ash being a posted character for ME1, featured in ME2 launch trailer, poster LI in ME3 launch trailer and featured in the majority of ME3 marketing material. I understand your disappointement and I wish Ash was available for fShep, but no. They haven't been treated equally in previous games. Ash was taken care more of.ADLegend21 wrote...
until now They've been treated on in the same.

Well, Kaidan may be cool and all, but us Ashley fans know she is ****ING AWESOME, dude!
Okay, I got the top post, so here's the GIF.

The way I see it, it has nothing to do with Ash and Kaidan individually. It has more to do with Ash being the lead female for a straight ManShep while Kaidan is the accompanying male for FemShep. His scenes are copy+pasted as much as FemShep's animations were. The Ash/ManShep scenes were obviously done first, though I wish their laziness didn't show so much. Going by BioWare history, the lead female for the male PC has always been exclusively straight. DA2 was the only game that really broke this trend.IsaacShep wrote...

In ME3, it looks like female Shepards get about the same amount of content (probably more overall) from Ashley than male Shepards had from Kaidan in the first game.IsaacShep wrote...
