I honestly think the Ashley romance is the best in the game, just because it actually feels like a relationship. Life isn't smooth-sailing, people aren't smooth-sailing in general. They have their rocky moments and let their emotions get the better of their judgement. This was the case for Ash, and honestly she just felt real, unlike Liara who felt forced.

I liked your whole post, but this part especially. A good, short show of why I like Ashley's dynamic. Now, it's not as though I don't appreciate the characters that stuck with me from beginning to end, that believed in me and never stopped...BUT that doesn't mean I want to demonize those that...faltered along the way. It may be hard for some players to see because that have the hero's perspective, they know they're right...the characters within don't. So yes, faith in Shepard is an exceptional quality, but we shouldn't hold it against characters who don't have it, because then it wouldn't be exceptional.

Conflict is necessary for story and people. Without it, both are boring. Both male and female Shepard have at least one love interest that believe in him/her unconditionally, and that's fine, but it would be stale if each one were on the same wavelength.

That being said, I don't think Ashley ever completely lost faith in Shepard. She tried to stick to her principles and she wasn't going to just accept things at face value; it's that's part of why I like her, and part of why my Shepard loves her. I remember it was even a dialogue choice in ME1 when Ash asks if you'll accept her with her baggage, "I like a challenge".

Shepard: what did you put in those pancakes anyway.
Ashley: skipper some things are better left unknown.
Shepard: you just don't want me to pull the same trick on you.
Ashley: I know you would never do something like that.
Shepard: do you now.
Ashley: yes, because if you did, you would be sleepine alone for a very long time.
Shepard: well than should we eat, i finnaly learned some cooking *comes out of kitchen with food*
Ashley: John, are those pancakes.

Huh i think i might come up with something for there, but im keeping the pancake war series right here lol

It's just a dream - for three years you're trapped in a nightmare. The beacon - you never woke up again. The Reapers can't exist. It's all made up by your mind - the war against those ancient machines, the loss of good friends ... Ashley. It's a nightmare with enough bright sides so you can take it, but it's also bad enough you won't ever wake up again.

So it's a dream, John. Comatose dream. It's not real.

Is it? If this nightmare is none but reality, where are you, John? Did you die, are you dying?

- Shepard, comatose dream, after the final battle.

I don't know why. I just don't like the idea of people going into combat without their long hair tied back or cut short.

Miranda bugged me even more, with her catsuit and high heels in addition to hair. It bugs me quite a bit.

Guess my girl is going to kill me if I spend money on Ashley ^^
But this is a must have. Any chance to get her in Europe?

Don't know. Hopefully you can get her in Europe. When I saw the pictures of figure I went to ebay to see if they had any. Called one of my best friends and asked if he could buy one. He ordered one and I will pay him later this week or when he gets it. Wished the black widow would follow :D.

Buy her something she wants on approximately same value (not only monetary, but by "wanting"). Generally such "trade-off" is considered to be "adequate".
Or let someone to gift it to you.
- It's clean.
- It's plant!
- How much?
- It's gift!

Nah. I buy Ash by myself. She's worth it, right? Guess she can fight together with my 12" action figures (Allies & Axis) ^^

That's a really great picture . Ashley Williams for the win!!

^ is it weird I want to date this woman?
Is it even weirder I want a relationship with Ashley?
Including all the stuff that's usually done in a love?

F*ck yes!
But I'm proud of being an Ashmancer!

Action figures FTW!
Though I prefer just scale models.

Couple hours ago, when we were working outside, I saw a guy whose jaw resembled Ash's. With stubble and adam's apple, of course, but...

I like Miranda's romance but Ashley and Shep's romance can span over 3 games and they have more history than Shep and Miranda even Shep/Miranda also have an interesting history since Miranda is the person who brought Shep back (Lazarous Project). A romanced Miranda only has a few extra lines to say to Shep than a loyal Miranda that's just friends with Shep. Constrast that to all the highs and lows of Shepard and Ashley's relationship and Shepard/Miranda just can't compete with Shepard/Ashley for epicness. That being said, the romanced Miranda death scene is incredibly sad, Ashley's death scene is nowhere near as moving.

I probably seen different Miranda's death scene - she just says something like "Finish this", Shepard response with something like "Miranda" (not even close to emotional "Ash!" when Ash being held and beaten by Eva on Mars) and that's basically all - Miranda dies, Ori cries, Shepard endures. For the **** sake... Comments from crew adds even more awkwardness.
Regarding romanced/non-romanced Ash/Miri, well, I think there is not so much difference anyway - basically one scene in cafe on Citadel with kiss or "crappy commander" plus romance scene on the Normandy later for Ash and slightly different dialogues and mail from Miranda and ending of meeting with her on Citadel. Oh, plus  Horizon a bit different, where Miranda got that creepy red lightning from inside of her head.  Plus London for both.

I don't know, should I rate romances, I'd say worst is Kelly (it didn't even worked and, according to Youtube is added just for show), than Jack (yet it quite emotionally charged at Grissom, I really lol'ed there), than Ash, than Miranda, than Tali.
Not sure where to put Liara - she's obviously has more screentime that anyone, but she reminds me Vista with that "You sure? Really? Absolutely? No backing out? You really love me?" UAC behavior. No, seriously: if I imported save with faithful character, probably I don't want to change horses in midstream, so to speak. IF they wanted to implement that "you love me?" question, I say they failed. As usual.

Guys, keep up the good work:

LI tributes

We won't beat Thane here, but I want our romance getting #2 in that one. So do something. I'll try to create fanart for her, 'though I'm bad like hell ^^

To get listened by BW, our voice has to be loud and reasonable enough ^^

I just want to say I'm new on here but have been listening and reading the posts for about a year now. I'm a HUGE Ashley fan and have romanced her in every run through of ME i've played.
After the 3rd game ended I was gutted that Shepard and Ash had gone through so much but yet will never get to be together, I know this sounds lame but i was actually physically upset lol. But these forums have been brilliant and the fanart and fanfiction such as the above from dahellraider have given me some feeling that maybe somehow everything can work out and the two can of them can have the life after the war that they deserve together.

I feel pretty much the same way since I first finished ME3 less than a week ago. I deal with it, like you, through the fan art and fan fiction on the forums.

I more or less have my own ending at this point. If I can ever bring myself to play ME3 again (and I guess I should - it was a great game until the ending) I'll likely stop playing before I reach the end game decisions.

Poor Shepard and Ash never had a real shot, the way things currently stand. They never had any real time together.

Welcome aboard mate good to have another ashmancer here

Dahell's stuff is good you might want to look at badpie and adlegends stuff as well, and at the risk of shameless self promoting my own meagre effort - http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7951907/1

Thanks I'll look into, good to be here to give more support to Ash.


DWH1982, I finished it a month ago and got over it all until last Friday a friend fo mine started talking about it again and since then I've been completely obsessed and have spent so much time on here and on other places. I will be playing it again no doubt cause I will alwyas keep Ash and Shepard alive by continuing to play the games. However, I have to say I liked the game, even the ending, altough as I said I was crushed to think Ash and Shepard will never get to live 'happily ever after.'  The biggest compliment I can give Mass Effect and bioware is that I have not been able to stop thinking about ti since it finished and I think that if a game can get you that emotionally involved, it has done something right.
All I wanted was a chance to end the game with Ash and Shepard walking off together with their arms round eachother as the go off to live the rest of their lives out of war and conflict and together but alas...
