You know the saying a picture says a thousand words? Well, I couldn't find 3.7 pictures to desribe how awesome this is, but I did find one.

Today has been a great day for dialogues, and what a way to finish it. You have a passion for what you write and it shows. :)

Am I the only one who's actually glad that it took Ash some time to regain her trust for Shepard on Mars and on the Citadel?

He worked for a terrorist organization. In the end it worked out, but I actually lost some respect for Shepard myself over that. He was also being detained for, you know - destroying an entire star system. Those two combined had to look awfully bad for someone who wasn't with Shepard at the time.

As for Ash not visiting Shepard... I can understand that as well. Sometimes we want to do things, but we're not sure what to say or how to go about it. Again, given why Shepard had been relieved of command, I'm sure Ash had a lot of doubts about him, and was just afraid of the pain that visiting him would dredge up. It makes sense to me.

It also makes Ash Ash. I don't want Ash to be someone who blindly follows Shepard. Neither does Edwin Shepard. Edwin Shepard fell in love with a woman who was willing to question him. He understands that he has to work to regain her trust. Hell, in a way, he wants to have to work for it. Anything worth having you have to work for.

Also, I know I've posted this before, but I'm posting it again. Just because it's one of my favorites:

No doubt about it: Something around that corner is about to die.

 Don't know if this was posted here or not, but here it is: 

"Soldier. Spectre. Gorgeous Badass. She might be Lieutenant Commander now - but to us at Save Game she will always be Chief. First Gunnery Chief and then Operations Chief, Ashley is a Soldier who speaks her mind and isn't afraid to tell your Shepard to stow it if she believes you're out of line. Her strength of character is clear for all to see, and that strength might just be one of the many things your Male Shepard found intoxicating about her. Ashley's a woman who knows what she wants, goes after what she wants regardless of the challenges that block her path, and as your Shepard might find out, she's one heck of a hellcat off the battlefield. She stands on her own, earns what she has herself, and keeps you firmly grounded in a galaxy that's turned upside down. A soldier through and through, her skills will get you out of many tough situations."

I actually like how they described her. 

Article basically gave each character their own drink, was pretty cool I'm going to have to try out Ash's drink. 
Also "The Chief" is an awesome name for a drink.

I like the dialouges, but honestly, not sure how much Ash would really beat herself up over the Council and the way she acted on Mars. Given the information she had access to at the time, she might even still be willing to defend herself somewhat.

Hell, Edwin Shepard even defends the way she acted, both on Mars and with the Council. He nearly snapped at Joker when he made that joke about her not failing the "don't shoot your CO" test.

I think she probably would be more upset over pointing a gun at Shep, especially if they end up in a relationship later on. How upset, though, I don't know - not really sure if it would cause her to question her entire self worth as a soldier. I do think it would make her feel even more committed to being at Shepard's side, though

...Then again, I don't really know. To be honest, in my own head canon, I always had Ash feeling awkward over the whole Council thing, plus her not being around for the Collector mission, as the reason she never left the observation deck. I figured she was just having trouble reintegrating, never really felt comfortable around the squaddies who were there for ME2, always wondered if deep down they were questioning her commitment.

It's sad, because I really do think Edwin Shepard would ask her why the heck she never came out of that damn lounge. We never get a chance to talk to her about it, though - instead, it just seems like there's a wall between her and the rest of the crew, and we can't do anything to help. Image IPB

There's something I'd like to see... more dialouge encouraging Ash to leave the damn lounge so she can spend time with Shepard and the rest of the squad, like the good old days.

It would be really interesting to see someone other than Shepard encouraging her to get out more. Like, say, Garrus, who does say he's happy to have her back on the squad.

It seems that some are unaware that you can take Ashley to Tuchanka: Bomb and get a little extra dialog from her **without** gibbing a save.

The catch with Tuchanka: Bomb is that: You must do Tuchanka: Turian Patrol to get Tuchanka: Bomb. You must do Tuchanka: Turian Patrol before Priority: Tuchanka. You must do Priority: Citadel II to get Ashley. You must do Priority: Tuchanka to get Priority: Citadel II. You can only do two missions (priority or not) after Tuchanka: Turian Patrol. If you do any more, Tuchanka: Bomb is no longer available and fails. However, Tuchanka: Bomb is available after Priority: Citadel if it has not failed.

Do these in this exact order without any additions
  • Tuchanka: Turian Platoon
  • Priority: Tuchanka
  • Priority: Citadel II
  • -- Get Ashley to join
  • Tuchanka: Bomb and take Ashley
She has a little bit of extra dialog during the completion of Tuchanka: Bomb and on the SR-2 after the mission.

The personality of Ash is really what drew my Shep in. I started off the series in ME2 and was obvioussly new to the whole universe. When I started to get inot #2 I looked up the backstory and characters. I choose Ash as my Sheps LI because she is just funny and shares the same opinions on the in-game issues as I do. Some people say that the only reason poeople romance Ash is because she is attractive ie: no personality. That is just not true, if I wanted something like that I would be going for Miranda. Ash is the perfect match for a male Shepard no question.

I started the series in ME2 also and because I had no clue who the ME1 characters were I thought nothing of Ash. I romanced Miranda and actually really liked her character. After two playthroughs of ME2 I decided I needed to get ME1 and see it from the start. When I first saw Ash, I almost completely fell in love with her character. As the game went on I started to like her character more and more, and now its progressed into this boarder line obsession I guess lol. Hopefully we see more of her in the Extented Cut and future story DLC.

There are people who say that Ash has no personality?

That's just... odd. Ash is all about personality.

I like this picture. I imagine it as a mission that takes place between ME1 and ME2 - after Shepard's death.

(Yeah, I just ignore Liara in the background and pretend it's some other asari)

Could someone just empty a bucket of cold water on me?
I just saw that cute student at work again ... O.o ... in a really sexy deep-cut dress, sexily smiling at me.

DAMN.

And no, she doesn't look like Ashley. It just makes me angry that women can catch my attention that easily. I was ... well ... mesmerized for something like 30 seconds of slow-mo time.

*frustrated - flattered - angry*
Sorry, Ash, sorry fiancee -.-

Well, I rather get shot by Ash right now and die happy than live a life with less happiness ;)

Nah, seriously. I have talked to that girl before, random stuff and such. But today - know the feeling if getting struck by fate? Something like that. It's enticing and confusing at the same time. It's double-hard since private issues. Let's say I simply feel bad.

Whatever. I keep my mouth shut about that one. But seriously ... it's one of those moments when you realize, being taken takes out some of the fun. I really want to date that girl -.-

Well, you should decide whether you Semper Fidelis or...
I've heard good phrase from Russian (then Soviet) Navy on such situation, not sure where it came from - Mercantile Navy or "military" Navy, but I doubt it is possible to translate it.
Not that I'm going to teach you, even if I'm older - I always was ugly, so I wasn't popular. Image IPB

Don't get caught staring! Anyway, you can't help what catches your eye. There's something called the 3 second rule. You have 3 seconds to decide if you want to approach. If you can't make your mind up forget about it. The reason this exists is because it nukes approach anxiety and keeps you from staring.
