Okay so I got a test texture in and....well...it makes Ash incredibly shiny. I have no idea why, but I'm pretty sure if she stood too close to a light she could blind someone. I have no idea why it's doing it lol! Must be a mapping issue somewhere..

Implications unpleasant. Must conduct more tests.

Continue the research!!!

I don't want my Shepard to die. I didn't spend three games building up, romancing Ash and making decisions only to die at the end.

I want a happily ever after damnit! >

Was I wrong to feel (back in ME1) that Ashley, not Liara was suppose to be the cannon romance partner? I genuinely thought, until 3, that Ashley was the default option that majority of people were suppose to take, and Liara is more of a 3rd option, something they put in the game so people don't felt like they have no choices.

I base my assumption on the fact that the game begins with you, Kaidan and Ashley, analogues to you Carth + Bastilla. So the whole game I had KOTOR as my reference where I equate Ashley=Bastilla, Kaidan=Carth, Liara=Mission, Garrus=Ordo, Wrex = HK47, not sure where Tali fit actually, she is kinda of a Mission type character, but not quite as blue. Plus you get Ashley way before you get Liara, they set you up with her starting with the Eden Prim Beacon where you save her.

Tell me I was not the only one thought that way.

I got the feeling Ash was the default LI but obviously Bioware wanted their fans to have the option to do whatever. I think Liara and Tali are so popular just cause they aren't human...I can't think what else it is cause Ash's character is the best in my mind no doubt.

Yeah.

I think they under estimated how much of an attachment people would have to their Shepard and his/or future.

I understand that some people think it's more fitting for their Shepard to die for the cause. So, that should be an option. But I wanted mine to live.

Seeing all the depression around here about Ash being separated from Ash I thought I'd give my twist to how Ashley could cope, psychologically speaking, so here goes:

A voiceclip recorded by
Ashley two years after crashing on the surface of an Eden planet. She recorded it to reassure herself
whenever she would feel like everything was crashing in on her again.
I raised you to
some height far above us. I know I shouldn't have and I knew I shouldn't, but I
didn't see another option. You never wanted to be raised above and beyond me,
it was me who wanted to believe that and damnit Skipper, I got close to
believing it. Real close. You inspired me and I loved you. But this wasn't a
one-way street, I didn't dare think you might've thought the same of me. But,
Joker, Liara, Tali and even EDI said I was wrong. You loved me too.

That thought helps. I was torn to pieces. Wasn't
once enough? How many times was I going to lose you? Was this a hellish cycle
designed to punish me? A Pyrrhic victory of love? Yeah I know, crazy, paranoid
thoughts. Stupid. Hell, I even feared you'd be coming back for a third round! I
wouldn't have snapped out of it, if it weren't for EDI. One night we just
talked about you, life, death, the state of the universe, you know: deep stuff,
for hours on end. That gave me an epiphany, EDI asked: What about all the other
people who have lost their beloved hero? That made me see something, you are so
damn special to me, but others are just as special to other people, regardless
of what the importance of their achievements is.



I'm no different than any other person who has
lost her love. It's so great to feel like you don't have to be better than the
best. Sorry dad, a Williams is just like anyone else and should be damn proud
to be that way. Yeah, never quite got past that rebellious faze maybe. Anyway,
I know myself well enough to know I've always been strong, and if that sounds
pretentious, hell if I care. You knew that strong person Skipper and, I think I
can say, that is the person you wanted me to be, and will always want me to be.
So I'm going to be strong and one day maybe, I'll be able to move on with my
life, like you would've wanted. This life is too short to spend grieving
everyday, it's not what I want, it's not what you want. So I won't and instead
try and find what it is that I want.


Somehow doesn't want to format properly...curious.

For your enjoyment, ashley/tali catfight. Seemed fairly one sided.

DA-YUM. The bite in her tone was like a shark with a metallic jaw!

[Hellfire257]

Youch.

If Shepard was to intervene in that, what would he say? I think mine would politely tell them to can it but really be tempted to boot both of their backsides for being so catty on the job. That or egg them on!

Let's hope Shepard is quick enough on his toes to dodge the incoming swipe from one of them. Who would it be though?

I'm thinking Ash.

I think completely staying out of that one was the right move.

What about women fighting him?

*ahem* Ash *ahem*

[Totally Not Swaggacide]

so bored.........

Ash bomb anyone?

[LessThanKate]

Well, I've got a little something. Not much, but hopefully the humor will compensate for the quality.



Got the idea after seeing Garrus and James doing their little back and forth on the Normandy. Would have loved it if Ashley could have intervened.

Not really.

Ashley's romance was not better or worse than the one for Kaidan or Liara. You had truly the opportunity to pick freely. I think the romances of Ash/Kaidan were meant to be the "romance with a sacrifice" while Liara's romance came with far less drama.
But all in all, the romances were equal.

Things changed when Mac Walters became lead writer. The original romances got dropped in ME2, Liara got some extra content and became more and more a "driving force" while the VS got sidelined entirely. Without blaming someone, but I think Mac is the very reason why the once equally done romances drifted apart. Dunno if Mac didn't care about the VS or hated Ash and Kaidan, dunno if it had been done for economical reasons - it's a fact the VS got sidelined in ME2 and for half of ME3 while Liara got her own DLC plus is the second main character in ME3 with a perfectly done romance and story arc.

"Your choices do matter."

I wish that were a true statement. In that case, Ashley would be the most important character next to Shepard for me;)

I like Brain's snippet and therefore ...

Diary Entry #1 - Ashley Williams
============================
Hey Skipper ...
Don't know where to start, so much had happenend. Joker somehow got the idea to leave the battle, entered the Charon Relay and then we got hit by some kind of shockwave. Next thing I remember how I wake up and leave the Normandy - we went down on a jungle planet. EDI calculated the chances for such event ... guess we cheated death.

Skipper, I don't know where we are. I don't know if you're still alive; my heart pretends to believe you are. We all hope someone will send a ship after us, picking us up. Maybe it's you who's coming to rescue us. I'm praying to God, every single day since we crashed here.

Hope I can see you soon.
I love you.

- Ashley.

[Totally Not Swaggacide]

Very nice CptData will that be a series?

Nah, no drama, only joy and happiness - there will be no mother-in-law to **** you around.

Probably I will be one of few, if not only one, who think that Liara's story and romance are not that perfect. More screen time =/= better story and romance.

Of course! You can have blue explosion or you can have red! It's very important! You can kill Marauder Shields or you can let him kill you! You can press Alt+F4 or you can keep watching that cluster****ed pile of ****kissing crap.

I had perfect excuse - someone peeling onion. Colleauges were shocked - I'm crying over blueprint.

But really, they should ask Brainheart to write such touching moments, not trying to squeeze tears from us, using that kiddo or devalue team-mates death.

[CptData]

Rudy:

Lets ignore Liara's romance for a while - except one statement: her romance is pretty much complete. It comes with different layers (co-workers, friendship, love) in the series while Ashley's romance only felt similar in ME1. In ME3, her romance got reduced to the love part only. She's not even a real co-worker (comrade) anymore since the Ash I knew was far more ready to speak her mind.

The "Your choices do matter" came with quotes to show you I don't believe in that statement anymore. Actually, it's my current catch phrase. ME1 and ME2 were both about player's choices while ME3 virtually removed that feature for most parts of the game, not just the endings.

Last but not least: yeah, Brainheart is darn skilled, same for Aurora. I think Badpie and YouthCultureForever have that skill too. Actually, here you can find several skilled writers being able to write down the ENTIRE Ashley story arc in the series with much more emotions than BW writers did.

Hey, maybe we should make it to a project? "Ash Effect - Untold Love"
