That's quite interesting! First time I hear that, until now I only knew the hard rules like in our country or France - it's really important to make a difference between formal and informal.
I must admit that I barely came in touch with portuguese to date (although Portugal is not that far away :-p), it is totally irrelevant as school subject. The focus here lies on english, then french, maybe a bit italian or spanish, that's it. Oh, and for eastern germans russian played a major role, of course.
But I remember a mission in Assassin's Creed: Black Flag where you have to steal a portuguese flag - while you try to sneak onto the ship you hear the portuguese crew talk, I found it very fascinating as this language has such an unfamiliar but nice and interesting sound to me I always enjoyed listening for a couple of moments

In fact, Brazilian portuguese sounds a lot different than portugal's. In it's core, is the same language (after all, they did colonize us), but a lot of the rules changed for us over the years. For ex: "rapariga" in Portugal means "woman"... in Brazil... well, it's one of the many words that mean "prostitute"  It's so crazy, I don't even know why it's still called portuguese

Well, I was going on just fine in my Sheploo Ashley/Miranda romance trilogy playthrough and started ME3. Then I high-tailed it off Earth, missed Miranda, and wondered why I didn't save Kaidan because I don't know who this dark-haired woman with Ashley's voice is.

So I restarted ME1 with a new FemShep because Kaidan. I'm sure I'll get back to ME3, but I like my Kaidan. :-)

I don't like Ashley... but if you want to finish that playtrough (and play on pc) there's a mod that makes her look more like ME1, bun and pink armor included.

It's not even really her new look, it's that I just really don't like her. I have a plan for the playthrough, but no Kaidan and hardly any Miranda means I may need another trilogy playthrough before I can get back to my male Shepard.

I never liked her even in ME1. I started to empathize with her wen she started to talk about her family and past, but that doesn't justify her xenophobia. I know the first contact war is sill a recent scar, but I just don't like prejudices in general, it's in my blood or something lol I'm not mister perfect, sometimes I caught myself spiting some hate, but Ashley's xenophobia was just too much for me. The Virmire choice was really easy

Well, I did the MShep runthrough specifically to romance them both and get the drama in ME3, but it doesn't feel all that dramatic without Miranda. I know I'll get back to it, but just not right now. It's interesting to see how things play out differently though.

 

And to get back on topic, Kaidan totally flirted with my Shepard today. Hee.

[aoibhealfae]

Haven't posted anything in here for a while... I usually spam reddit to spread more Kaidan-ラブ. I've finished my Mass Effect trilogy gif sets (way easier than trawling tumblr for it). And I'm sooo hopeless.... and depressed. 

 

The last thing Shepard thought was him~~~~

Spoiler

and it hurts...

Spoiler

since she never said she love him until that moment... only for him to lose her again.

especially after this.

Spoiler

 

 

I think I'm going to listen to more sad love songs before I restart their romance again

Ahhh, it's so weird how I can think of Shepard and Kaidan's love and still feel a sick twinge in my heart. I've never been so invested in a fictional relationship.  Except maybe Peter and Olivia from Fringe.

 

If only they had more time.

[aoibhealfae]

lol, I've been trying to use Olivia as a character reference guide for Shepard in my fanfic. Shepard's personality is kinda hard to write and I like to make my female character painfully sarcastic rather than cold, conflicted and broody.

 

if it helps, everyone should watch Murder in the First. Raphael is totally channeling Horizon-Kaidan.

Inspector Kaidan Alenko... breaking hearts with words

[Abalone]

In fact the translation and voice-acting in ME 1 is so horrible that I thought about switching to english ... but I have the problem that I then have to focus so much on what is said and concentrate mainly on the words that I totally lose the connection to the world around. Yeah, of course I can switch on the subtitles but they are totally distracting. I love to dive deep into this strange universe and get a part of it myself (same thing with every other RPG), and that's impossible for me if I don't play in my native language :-/

By the way - I switched to english yesterday. And it's not as annoying as I feared And - muuuuuuch better Especially in part 1 - 2 and 3 had been dubbed nicely, but the english voices match better.
A problem with dubbing is: Officer Bailey for example has the voice of "Douglas Heffernan" in "King of Queens" -> every time I talk to Bailey in my mind I see Kevin James in front of me, and I often fail to take Bailey serious :-p Same with EDI, that's the voice of "Carrie Heffernan".
And what also bothered me is that in the german version the voices changed from 1 -> 2. When "my" Shep suddenly sounds totally different that's really annoying.

[aoibhealfae]

I am super-annoyed with BSN over the Off-topic forum and then I realized this.... who the hell come up with the idea to lump Character thread inside Strategy forum....??? grrr

 

Okay, something on-topic. Been sorting out my wallpaper and I think I deleted some pictures....

[corkyspetals]

I think I just heard ME music in a radio talk show.

[Kynare]

You know, it's always kinda bothered me that there was zero mentioning of Kaidan's migraines and sensitivity to noise and bright lights during the third game. I loved that vulnerability about him in ME1.   

[Flaine1996]

I believe he mentions it at the citadel DLC party if u chose the quiet version he has a talk with joker about his migraines but that's the only time I remember him talking bout it >.>

[Vanilka]

There's also some elevator banter between Kaidan and Ashley and Liara about this topic in ME1. I really recommend dragging Kaidan and the other guys through the elevators... thoroughly. There's a lot of nice stuff to learn about him (and the other companions as well, of course).

[Vanilka]

By the way, has anybody noticed how freaking uncomfortable Kaidan looks when we meet Liara at the beginning of ME3?

 

Spoiler

 

 

Since I noticed this, I haven't been able to play through that scene without laughing my ass off.

[Dantriges]

He remembers the time when he had to quarrel with Liara who is now Shepard´s love interest even if it was in an alternate universe.  

[Vanilka]

And now she's levelled up and is willing to flay people with her mind, too. The horror!

 

Actually, my reaction when I saw her in ME2 for the first time was something like that too, to be honest.

[aoibhealfae]

I know! Its hilarious. 

 

but if anything, I want him to have a rage face. Liara knew all along that Shepard wasn't dead and she never told him while he grieved. I want him to resent Liara... but he's a good guy...

To be honest, I wish this had been brought up. To me, that's a big deal and nobody ever talks about it. Liara, as much as I love the girl, hid this information from all Shepard's friends and I don't think that's okay, either. I don't blame her if she didn't want to report it to authorities, but giving Shepard's guys some sort of hope is the least she could do. And hiding it from her lover, too, and letting him suffer instead... (I mean, maybe Cerberus would never find a solution, but it's still better than having nothing at all, no body, nothing.) So, yeah, I don't like this is never discussed.

[Dantriges]

"Hi garrus, I gave Shepard´s body to Cerberus. They claimed they could revive him/her."

 

"You did what? Are you crazy?"

Hah, I didn't mean for her to be that blunt. But I really think that her staying quiet about it completely for more than two years... actually... forever is kind of an ass thing to do. She didn't even look for help when she was trying to recover the body? She had to do everything alone? Either way, if I were somebody close, I would be pretty mad that I knew absolutely nothing and had to e.g. accidentally run into the person after years of lost hope.

Well, Liara wasn't sure that it was going to work. If Cerberus had failed, I think it would have been cruel to give Shepards family and friends that false hope (but it's implied that she informed Hackett when he gave her the dog tags), and people wouldn't be able to move on. Miranda, for example, was absolutely doubtful that Shepard could be revived when Liara gave her the body.

[Vanilka]

You make a good point. I understand that. At least to certain extent. I still think that, in case of Spacer Shep in particular, not letting the relatives know leaves somewhat a bad taste. I think it's amazing of Liara that she recovered the body, but deciding what to do with it... I don't know. My main Shep doesn't have anybody besides Kaidan and her crew so it might not be that much of a problem (which may be rather subjective), but giving somebody's daughter's/son's corpse to an organisation known as terrorists and that is outlawed in the Citadel space for that exact reason is quite something. Not only that could probably be considered a pretty serious criminal offence (which is why it's understandable she didn't inform authorities), but it is just as inconsiderate to the people that care about Shepard as feeding them lies, giving them false hopes, or simply bringing the dead person home, imho. (We were also pretty lucky Cerberus really just wanted to bring Shepard back to life, pretty much no strings attached, and not make a hundred clones, for example. Not that I'm complaining about Shepard being alive. I sure as hell wouldn't complain if I lucked out like that.) I guess I just really have a problem with acting like nothing happened. (Which probably isn't even Liara's fault. More like nobody thought of it or the writer didn't find it important or whatever.) It doesn't help that it is never properly discussed in the game, so we don't know all that much about it. Is it mentioned why she had to recover the body on her own? (I can't remember, but my memory sucks.) For somebody who died, Shepard sure doesn't question anything overmuch, either. It took all the way until the end of ME3 for her to wonder what the hell actually happened to her. (Not taking headcanon into account right now.)

 

So, yeah, mixed feelings here.
