And...? You have a problem with making your point, I'll admit that up front. Never mind that-

A). The inclusion of the VS breaks Bioware's own logic.
B). Vega is the least necessary inclusion in the game, regardless of individual preference.

that is so dumb I think I just had a mini-stroke.

And Vega was for the new players.  It's annoying that they're trying to attract new players in a third game, but that's why he's there.  Miranda couldn't have fulfilled that role.


All of the ME2 cast and Wrex don't join "because they could be dead".

Tali, Garrus, Kaidan, and Ashley all join up despite this.

If you aren't seeing the double standard, you need glasses.


the VS can't be dead.

One of them is, but as a rule, one of them is alive.  A VS character is part of ME3, for most of the game (if you're not dumb evil).  So both characters could be written in.  It's not the same.  If an ME2 character is dead, there's no squadmate to stand in for them.

I don't care about Tali or Garrus, but they do violate the logic.

Yes. We laid down what everyone wanted and came to a consensus.

Some are simply more upset than others.

I like my Shepard to have a sense of humor. There are some downright hilarious Renegade options in ME2.

What are they like in ME3?

"Everyone dies alone."

I wanted a troll not Arthur Schopenhauer.:sick:

They're needed to be a way to laugh at Joker's Thessia joke, or at least not go ape**** angry.

1.  It was funny.
2.  Humor is how people deal with terrible situations sometimes.

If you're going to debate me, at least do so without misconstruing my post or twisting the words.

Not the point.

Other than not-Mordin Padok Wiks, not-Thane Kirrahe, not-Grunt Urdnot Dagg, etc. The only character without anyone to replace them is Garrus, IIRC.

I don't know. Sometimes it was in character.

Like punching the Admiral. Or stabbing Kai Leng. Or telling the Prothean VI that my Shepard would stop the Reapers.

And taking the Renegade option with Henry Lawson.

That one is definetly in character.

Kai Leng is always stabbed. The renegade interrupt only has Shepard smash his ninjato (I assume that's a ninjato) before doing it. Everything else is the same as if you ignored the interrupt.

But yeah, the renegade dialogue (I assume you mean dialogue, not the interrupt) with Henry Lawson is awesome.

I enjoyed the Renegade options.

When it didn't make Shepard look ****ing insane.


What scene(s) did you find Shepard most insane, because I tend to think some of them are "ruthless calculus" than Shepard just being psychotic.

If you're simply talking about Renegade responses, I'm with you on that. When I'd go with a Renegade response, I'd rather it be a troll response than Shepard acting like a nihilist.

The reason I asked about a specific scene(s) (where you make decisions on plot points, in this case) is because I feel like one of the main scenes that gets brought up about psycho Shepard is the scene on Tuchanka where you gun down Mordin. I've always counted that among the "ruthless calculus" moments. You see that Shepard is clearly upset with what he has just done, hence the throwing down of the gun he just used to kill Mordin with + plus the disgusted look he seems to have. Basically, I don't think it was done in cold-blood.

Then the Wrex scene (if he survives ME, obviously) follows later, and I see no problem with that one either...other than killing a good friend, which is the main reason I struggle with the Genophage decision when he's alive. At that point, it's kill of be killed if you sabotaged the Genophage. Nothing you can do.

I don't know your opinion on the Mordin scene, though; that's why I asked.

Oh yeah. I'm not shooting Oriana. I'm referring to the dialouge. For those who don't know he essentially tells him that if he tries something funny **** will go bad real fast.

This is a Ninjato.

They are not based historically. At least preliminary research states this.

One of the things I liked about DAII was being able to snark your way through the game. I miss the middle option on the wheel.

Sometimes the Renegade choices fit my Shepherd. Sometimes the Paragon ones do. But most of the time he just sounds crazy. And stupid. Auto-dialogue ftw.

That is the point.  They're a known entity.  One is dead, one is alive.

Therefor, you can write the Mars mission and one of them will be there to get curbstomped by EDI (Image IPB), and then later one of them will be there for the coup scene.

You can't do that with Miranda because she could be dead.  You can't write a specific scene with her in mind, because she might not be there.

And yes, I'll agree that they overlooked this for Tali/Garrus, I'm not defending their inclusion.  And I agree, Miranda should have been included.  However, the VS doesn't "violate" bioware's logic, they actually work very well in that regard.

Plus, Ash/Kaidan were better characters for the third game.  Shep isn't a terrorist cerberus employee anymore.  He's an alliance soldier again.  Ash/Kaidan make more sense as an XO.

Worst part of ME3 was the antagonist for the entirety of ME2 being reduced to a cameo role in ME3.

Yet they both get a "substantial" (I use that word very loosely) amount of content, despite either of them being potential casualties. Strictly speaking, Wrex is far less likely to be dead than either VS, since there is a lower number of times where Wrex can be killed, but he isn't a squadmate either.

You can't do that with Miranda because she could be dead.  You can't write a specific scene with her in mind, because she might not be there.


Oh please. Behind Jacob and Grunt (I think it was, Jacob and somebody else, whatever), Miranda has the highest survival rate for the suicide mission. You have to try to get her killed. Never mind that writing a sceneassuming a character is alive wouldn't be too difficult anyway, given how many people have "perfect" ME2 playthroughs (meaning, they don't go full retard on the suicide mission and kill everybody).

Plus, Ash/Kaidan were better characters for the third game.


Yeah, those trust issues really stuck on me. Really got to me when Ashley suggested that I could be brainwashed by Cerberus, or when she made the comparison between Shepard and the dead Cerberus trooper on Mars.

Ash/Kaidan make more sense as an XO.

 

Yup. Other than the whole "pulling a gun on a superior officer" thing, and the "getting totally wasted on a military vessel".

He's simply a Phantom that won't die. It's absurd that my Shepard can beat the **** out of him and still ****ing lose.

But he was! He was there for a whole 37 seconds! He said 2 whole words to Shepard (I think those were words, anyway)!
