And I do think I could do a better romance that what we did got in ME2. I wrote some dialogues, but didn't save them.

ME3 romance is actually really good, especially on Shepard's end. I believe that he loves her, and that she isn't just another notch on the proverbial bedpost.


As Yahtzee would say:

"And thank f*ck for that!"

While I won't say that I can write better than a team of payed professionals, I do feel I could probably do some dialogues better.

Ironically enough (Or maybe because I focus on it so much more), Miranda and Shepard's romance.

I must admit, I like the amount of detail they put into her torso design (Seriously, not just teh boobies)

Of course, probably easier to see what I'm talking about if you zoom in.


Those beauty marks are my favorite.

I would've liked more options to delve into sheps own personality and history in way to reciprocate miris openess and to have her act as sheps confidant, Don't necessarily mean by admitting having fears of the up coming mission, but where he's come from and where he wants to go. It wouldve also been fun to have a scene where shep and miri can assess the rest of the team as individuals and bounce each others ideas of there strengths and weaknesses. As a way of really sizing each other up in their ability to gauge others. A competition of sorts.

All professional means is that you are paid. It's no guarantee of quality. Where I do have a considerable advantage is that I don't have real world budgets or time constraints to worry about. That still doesn't make the romance good.

Fun idea-

Name 1 thing you wished was in the romance, but wasn't.

For me, it would be Shepard telling Miranda that he loves her.

I mean, there's "I care about you Miranda, and I think you care about me", but it didn't seem sincere enough. And "Care" and "Love" are 2 different things.

exactly. shepard never have do or say something that show if he love miranda

Professional implies that you're good enough for people to spend money on you, and thus stay in business. I mean, people aren't going to write your checks if you suck.

If you're good enough and stay pro for a long time, your skills naturally improve.

reminds me a pretty cool quote I heard once.

"Amatures practice until they get it right, professionals practice until they never get it wrong."  However amatures get paid too!

... No they don't.

Once you receive your first paycheck, and continue to receive said paychecks, you're a professional.

Agree.. but dont forget that Shepard used to go to her quarters after each mission to talk :P .AND, he chose her as a squadmate for every mission as well :) (in my case at least).. but yeah, I also felt the lack of some emotional dialogue coming from Shep...

gahh. This couldn't be more wrong. You can be an amature painter get paid, and still be something else- like a lawyer.  Or an amature photographer, get paid but still be, say a doctor. Your a professional  doctor or a lawyer, but on the side, as a hobby your an amature photographer, or painter.  Being a professional has more to do with skill than money.

Well, I think the terms, as they are commonly used today, allow for a little wiggle-room. But I believe that, in its most basic meaning, "professional" indicates that this is your primary source of income. Whereas "amateur" indicates that it is not, but rather an activity that you engage in for its own sake, or for your own enjoyment.

But still, you are right that an amateur painter might get paid on one occasion, or sometimes, and still basically be an amateur. That said, if you've never been paid, or never used the activity as primary source of income, I don't think you could be said to be a "professional." Your work might be "professional-level" or you might do "professional quality" work.

Not an indicator of quality, in other words (necessarily), though often it would be, due to level of training, time available to devote to the task, and demands of the marketplace, etc.

That's because painting isn't a profession, hence the term professional.

It isn't a legally recognized "job".

Painting is one of the oldest professions in the world. 

And the bold is nonsense.

I should have clarified.

If you're painting as an artist (Ala Da Vinci or Michaelangelo), then no, it isn't a profession.

If you're a painter (like someone who paints signs or designs), then yes, it's a profession.

Same can go for any other "artsy" type hobby.

Da Vinci, and Michaelangelo were both professionals. They both went to school for their perspective art training, to become a professional, and were recognized as professionals during their life and after. Like I said painting and in a larger brush stroke, Art, is one of the oldest professions in the world. edit for redundancy

@Schem

Da Vinci was also a scientist, and Michelangelo was also an architect, both of which are real "jobs".

Da Vinci also wasn't very famous when he was alive, at all. Michelangelo was almost the opposite, but that can be attributed to his work on the Sistine Chapel.

And lol @ art school.

Not only that. I said it metaphorically so I wouldn't get into too much trouble for being perverted. I used the line that Engineer Gabriella Daniels said on the Normandy. She was talking about the Normandy's Systems, but Donnelly said, "Are you talking about the Normandy's Systems, or Miranda?
