Slightly off topic but music fans in you may find this interesting.  I asked one of the composers about how they record the score.

Looking forward to hearing it when I meet up with Kaidan :-)

[LuluMae]

Holy crap! I missed a lot since I went to bed last night. Well, l'll try to catch up on the bits I can contribute to.

@Satanicponies History majors FTW!

On VegaShep: Erin won't be flirting with him but after seeing his trailer I finally found motivation for a new playthrough so the unromanced Shepard I've been working on  is solely for him.

On Virmiring Kaidan: I have once with my renedouche Sheploo. He actually 'romanced' Liara, quotations because he actually wasn't interested in romancing her, he just seen that the hot blue space babe was into him and thought it'd be stupid to pass the opportunity. I only Virmired Kaidan because I wanted at least one playthrough with Ashley. He's still not half way through ME2 though because he's an infiltrator and for me that class is such a chore. I'm still determined to finish it through ME3... eventually. And speaking of Liara, I have quit trying to figure out the Liara/Hackett mess with the dogtags.

On dialects and winter: I LOVE hearing different accents, they're the best part of interviews with BioWare developers and I love hearing the characters with accents, I don't even care if they are real or obviously faked. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that by living in southern West Virginia I have a rather infamous dialect. It's actually not that strong considering where I'm from but I still freaked out the first time I heard my voice recorded because it was unexpectedly obvious. (You'll know it's me if we chat in mp. xD) We've been having the same non-winter here as electrickalgypsy described in Pennsylvania bouncing between warm and cold and it's only really snowed once or twice.

Those polls! The first I didn't vote in because I couldn't decide on who I disliked the most out of Erin's lover and two best friends.  Then to choose between Alistair and Kaidan... I couldn't. Alistair was my first video game romance and Kaidan is Kaidan, you know. My canon Warden was a Cousland I made just for the 'happily ever after' ending and she ended up developing a rather strong personality in my head. She's prone to being blinded by her emotions and thereby ended up with a tragic ending, and no, it wasn't her that died. She still became my favorite Warden and I love her story. But as much as tragedy suited her tale, I don't want that for Erin. I want her and Kaidan to get their happy ever after, or at least as happy as it can be.

I betrayed all of you too. I voted for Alistair. He gives you a rose and I married him. I'm sorry everyone:unsure:


I know this is nothing like our Kaidan but I found it really funny especially his last lines.

I love SVU, does anyone happen to know what episode that is?

[sesheta255]

I have to admit I also voted for Alistair, but I can have them both so it's good, lol.

re accents : A couple of my Shepards would have been sorely tempted if the option to have a fling with Ken had been left in ME2, although they would have gone back to Kaidan. I had high hopes for Sebastian in DA2. Scottish accents get me evrey time, Aussies don't have accents, lol

So just looking at a thread from the main board, what scenario would make you cry in ME3? See this whole thing really frustrates me because every other form of entertainment has made me cry except video games. Books, movies, plays, tv shows, cartoons/anime. It's really sad that I've never openly sobbed from watching a video game and I'm wondering why that is.

I can watch this scene, with no story context and just start crying my eyes out (Do not watch that if you cry easily), but I spend 40 hours on a game and never cry once? Why is that?

It's not like I don't cry easily. I watched War Horse on stage with a puppet wooden horse, and I didn't have enough tissues. I just don't get why games never connect with me in that way.

Maybe if Shepard had a big argument with Kaidan and he ended up dying somehow, that would make me cry? I don't know, I really hope ME3 will be the first to really pull on my heartstrings.

[latun98]

This'll sound dumb, but if I (Shepard) died and then I had to watch Kaidan mourn over my body, I think I'd cry.

You know I kind of wonder if I would've cried if they made us watch Shepard's funeral in the second game.

I would definitely cry.

I cry pretty easily though, but honestly... I will be sorely disappointed if ME3 doesn't make me cry. I really like emotional storylines, although I do want my Shepard and Kaidan to stay alive (and I would seriously sacrifice half of my squad mates just for that and probably bawl the entire time). 

I think worst case would be one of them dying and having to see the scene after. Like if Kaidan sacrifies himself a la Alistair (I don't know how or why he would do that, but let's just say if it hypothetically happens) or if Shepard sacrifices herself, I'd be tearing up immediately.

Hell, I tear up at the wreckage scene in ME1 when Kaidan can't even talk because he's scared/thinking that Shepard died after defeating Sovereign. So if Shepard actually died, I would cry.

Only three games have ever made me cry: Uncharted 2, Crisis Core, and Origins. I'll probably cry at the end of ME, regardless of what happens, just because it's the last I'll see of Shep and the gang. I actually cry less during movies than games Because you invest so much time into a game, whereas a movie's only a few hours (unless it's a sequel/trilogy, and there is one particular trilogy that always gets me at the end).

[Phoenix_Fyre]

Well Shep did die in ME2.........>.> I can only imagine what Kaidan went through.

Good point.

Going through it twice would be even worse. 

[latun98]

@LadyofRivendell, I know exactly what you mean. I get so attached to the characters I play, I'm sad just to see it all end. It pretty much becomes my second identity while I'm playing these games. Such a nerd.

[Soccerchic6]

@ accents: Well, I speak both Spanish and English so I know I have an accent. And yes, whoever plays with me will probably be learning some Spanish curse words, lol.
@ crying: I have a bad feeling this will be the game to break me. I've just invested so much time into my roleplayed Sheps that I'll be sad to see it end. And I really, really want a happy ending with Shepard and Kaidan. I think they both deserve to finally settle down and be happy together. I would be really disappointed (and extremely sad) if one or the other died.  Damn it, Bioware, just give us our happy ending!

I'll propably spend days crying after I finish my first playthrough of ME3 . Usually I don't cry easilly, but if I'm invested in something, book, movie, game or whatever, I'll cry  every time I read/watch it again.

[Satanicponies]

I'll prob feel upset at the end of the game, I got mass effect 1 on release day. So it will be like when LOST ended all over again, watched it from the start to finish.

Off topic sidenote: OMG nick offermans (Ron swanson) show was hilarious, I died the whole time. And I grabbedfree tickets to a dimitri Martin show next week.

See that's what I would think, that I'd be more invested in the characters cause I am with them for so long and yet, it doesn't seem to work that way.

I was really disappointed with Origins sacrifice ending, too. It just didn't really do anything for me.

Compare this scene in Armageddon to this scene in Origins. I just got nothing out of that scene in Origins despite going through the romance and everything, but I start crying when I see the end of Armageddon. I don't know if it's the lack of animations, or the dialogue, or maybe it's the fact that we never see Alistair's initial reaction to the warden's death. It just doesn't register for me in the same way.

[FFWarQueen]

Gah I'm so gonna cry if anything happens to any of my fave characters!

I'm attached to both the ME squad and ME2 squad, I couldn't even kill them in the SM.

If anything happens to Kai Bear I will totally cry my eyes out.

Happy Endings FTW!

[LuluMae]

I don't cry easily during movies but I expect I will by the end of ME3 since, as everyone else has said, I've invested so much time and energy into these characters and I've become emotionally attached to them.

For most games the most emotional parts to me are the ones where something is done to people important to my character, generally death of their family. More often than not it makes me mad and I start cussing and threatening the tv, a few times I've had to stop the game and just sit there for ten minutes while I recover from the 'I was just punched in the gut as the world was pulled out from beneath me' feeling with or without the angry yelling. Once I actually teared up, it was the All That Remains quest in DA2. I've only straight up cried once and that wasn't because it was a sad moment but because it was 2:30 in the morning and I hadn't slept in 48 hours so I was just not ready for Lucien Lachance to start yelling at me so menacingly for doing what I thought I was supposed to be doing. Yes, it was Oblivion during a not-sad moment and my hands started shaking so bad I dropped the controller... lame, I know. haha

*sigh* Scottish accents.  I, too, fall for them every time. I don't know why but I just have this weird obsession with Scotland.  I love going down to engineering and listening to Ken talk, lol. And for anyone who's a fan of Stargate: Atlantis, Carson is one of my favorite characters...I could listen to him talk for hours.

On an on topic note, I think we all agree that Kaidan's voice is sexy as hell. He could be reading an instruction manual, and I could just sit there, staring at him, hearing him talk.

And about Alistair/Kaidan, DA is indeed less serious, or darker, than ME. The Alistair romance is cute and I love it, but Kaidan is my favorite. I like the way the Kaidan romance started, grew up (I think Horizon gave a big amount of depth to it), and hopefully, will continue in ME3. That's the most important IMO, it's not just one game, it's an entire story arc.

This so much.

I think that's, as a whole, why I enjoy the ME series more than the DA one. I love Origins to death, don't get me wrong. And I still found DA II fairly enjoyable despite its shortcomings (although Isabela is one of my favorite characters. Ever) but I like how the story develops along the lines of your Shepard in ME. I feel a deeper connection to my FemShep and her relationships with her team because you have two -- and going to be three -- games to flesh it out.

Well, minus the forced friendships. And I love that Kaidan's relationship has that conflict because of ME2. It should hopefully add to the intensity of the next game  Alistair's did have conflict as well and there were many ways to end it, though. I love his romance as well, but I have... well, optimistically high expectations for the consummation of Kaidan and Shepard's story. Not that it'll be a HEA necessarily, but that it'll be good. I don't know. Haha.

Seconded.  And I loved Awakenings because it let me continue with my Warden and I just missed her in DA2.  I mean Hawke was alright, but I ddint feel the same connection to her.

And I totally cried when Alistair sacrificed himself for one of my warden's.  And I knew it was coming too!!!  I did it specifically to get the acheivement and I still cried like a little girl and shut the game off immediately.  So I will totally cry at some point during ME3.

Soccerchic - I can't wait for the linguistic exposure.  Sounds like a good time.

Also, top pic making me all nostalgic for ME1 (of which I currently have an active playthough, what is my problem?).  I think I might cry now just knowing that it's ending.

<--- is lame.

Alright, Pony, now you're just taunting me.  I'm so insanely jealous.

Okay, that scene from Armageddon just made me cry. You're an evil, evil person, I hope you know that That's almost as bad as watching Black Beauty.

Edit: And it wasn't sacrificing myself in DA:O that made me cry, it was that other depressing ending...
"You can't do this, it's insane!"

Never cried at Armageddon but I did for Black Beauty and Bambi lets not forget about that one... I'm so ashamed
