I'd say she would be called in as a character witness, hopefully to support his/her actions as doing all s/he can, to ensure the safety of the galaxy.

Edit: top Ash

Personally I want to see the Femshep they were talking about for default like Sheploo is default for male. After that though I'd like to see Ashley's Spectre equipment and weapons. Give that woman a Revenant! :D



Sorry, I know this is from a while back and I've been both new and active on this forum from approximately 16 hours ago. But I believe that the Revenant should be exclusively for Shepard in terms of gameplay.

My reason is this - according to folklore, a Revenant is a visible spirit or animated corpse brought back from the dead using some ritual to perform a specific task, usually vengeance on the one that kill said spirit/corpse in the first place. The collectors killed Shepard and destroyed the Normandy SR1. When Cerberus bought Shepard back, he was sent after the collectors to find/save the colonists and ultimately, got his revenge for being killed the first time. As Garrus said 'The Collectors killed you once and all that did was ****** you off, I can't imagine what'll stop you this time.'

So, my reasons are: not only does Shepaloo looks badass holding the rifle - cause let's face it. he's bleeding hot - but because the folklore behind the weapon name suits his situation and circumstance uniquely.

Nah, I say give Kaidan his due. He's never been in anything while we've had Ash in ME1 and 3 marketting. Honestly I'd rather see Kaidan in marketting than Ash for that fact alone. He gets neglected as much as femshep used to. Plus I want to know his new rank sine we already know Ashley's new rank is Lieutenant. Maybe he's Captain Alenko? with his own badass spectre backstory like Ashley should have.


I'm with you ADL ... It's been great seeing Liara and Ash, but Kaidan needs a little love too. Those three got run over in ME2 and while Liara did end up with her own DLC, the poor VS has been left on the sidelines.
 
I loved seeing Ash, even if it was really brief, but poor K has been left out in the cold.

I have to admit that I am really looking forward to having all the familiar ME1 faces on the Normandy. I liked ME2 characters as well, but it just seems right that the "almost" same group (VS, Liara, Garrus, Tali, *) that stopped Sovereign ... stops his lil' brothers & sisters as well. Posted Image

@Mr. Brainheart- Yeah, that convo is a car accident: You don't want to look, but you just have to, and at the same time you can't believe it's actually happening.

QUESTION: What part do you think Ashley will play in Shepard's trial?  IF she is involved, to what extent?


I'd answer by saying that - in my opinion - she would either be there as a character witness (if Shepard is earthborn/colonist. As a spacer, it'd probably be his mama - who I would very much like to see in ME3), or as an escort/security.


Hmm.. could be, could be.
I don't think she'll actually speak for Shepard at the trial since she was already on the Normandy when they escaped Earth. Anderson will speak for Shepard at the trial.

I'd say she's the Spectre who had to bring him in (Wonder how that scene went if you romanced her). And of course Ash probably accepted off the bat to ensure Shepard is brought in peacefully

So I'm wondering...are we finally going to see Ashley in armor or is that going to be a pipe dream much like the VS dlc was?

She does have armour, we've just not seen it. I suspect it'll appear in the next big demo.

I'm willing to wait a bit longer, if it means BW is trying to come up with something truly worthy/unique for Ash. Posted Image

Edit: forgot a word. (and the forums were moving very slow for a few minutes)

I love Ash, but her eyes were a little off in ME 1, and as a woman I think Ash is the best choice for male shep. As female shep, I chose Garrus!Posted Image

My main femshep only has eyes for Ash, even if she'll never return the feeling. (hoping she will though!)

I could see them doing something like that to make up for having doubted shep's character on horizon. Nothing too cheesy though I hope.

I'm with the popular consensus that she'll be a character witness. However, I don't think that her being on the Normandy for pickup excludes her from also being at the trial. There's a lot of unknown space between the trial and the Reapers showing up. For all we know, the VS and Anderson/Shep could be separated by a building falling down or something equally insane.

What I want to know is...how does Ash get on the Normandy ahead of Shep if he/she is fighting alongside Anderson- which I will squee with happiness- mentor and student working side by side

and get Vega, etc..... preplanned perhaps?

That's the first thing my Femshep will be wondering LOL....nice rescue :)

I don't think, she will be part of the trial, at least not the part that will be shown in the game. The Reapers practically attack while Shepard is in a hearing. How would she get to the Normandy so fast. So while Shepard is trying to save his ass, she'll be doing her own questioning with EDI, trying to find out what the Skipper was up to during their mission against the collectors. ;)
I guess, this "trial" is more about sorting out what Shepard actually did after he 'd returned to the land of the living, if there is any character evaluation, it will mostly be about that period, so there is probably not much need for a statement from Ashley.
I think, just because we as Ash fans have been a little short-changed in ME2 doesn't mean she suddenly has to play a major role in every part of the game.

@aurora: I am pretty sure I have killed enemies, who have been using the Revenant and though it is rare it isn't that unique. If a Blue Suns commander can use it, why not Ashley?
Unless "in terms of gameplay" means that Shepard should be the only one in the squad to use it, but it is still ok for enemies. But than the mystique around the weapon isn't really there and I'd still disagree.

Ashley looks good with it, too.

She would break her arm using that gun.

I have this theory that Ashley is the counter to Vega. Can anyone provide information that would support/dismiss this claim?

Shot in the gut between rifle bursts and she doesn't even notice. Complete nonchalance. I love it ^___^

It seems that Vega practically has Ashley's role from ME1. Provide the point-of-view of a human new to the galactic playing field.
And there was this tweet that stated that wile Vega's abilities were about survivability, Ashley's were more about lethality.
That's all I can think of in terms of comparing the two.
I am not really sure what you mean exactly. Gameplay? Character?

I don't think Ash should or can have a big role in trial, she has barely seen during the events of mass effect 2, she can't back-up his claims, the only thing she can testify is that Shepard was on Horizon. She'll watch the drama unfold perhaps.

@MaskedAffection; I do have the feeling that Ash and Vega won't like each other very much. It lloks to me like Vega might have some strong (alliance) opinions, whilst Ashley has seen more of the world and has less precautions about working with aliens. So you might be right. Although this is all speculation.

Ok -  I apologise for not making that clear. Prehaps what I am trying to say is that in terms of the squad, the weapon should be unique to Shepard, as a vague-not-so-vague reference to his status as an undead/revived cyborg and that - to put it bluntly - he was brought back to kill the people who killed him in the first place. Shepard should have a trademark weapon, and I think the Revenant suits him... of course, I wouldn't mind if Ashley nicked it every now and then when Carter(my Shepard) isn't looking.

@aurora: I am a big fan of the Revenant and the connection you make between the weapon's name and Shepard is pretty awesome. And for me it IS Shepard's special weapon - I actually had a minor nerdrage, when I realized for the first time, that some of the enemies were using it too.
I understand what you are saying, but I want Ashley to be as awsome as Shepard and therefore, as a soldier, she should have access to every weapon, the skipper can use.
And Shepard apparently is getting a new shiny assault rifle .

No she wouldn't. several enemies can use the revenant and most of them are humans without cybernetics. You might be thinking of the Widow which on only titanium reenforced Shepard and Legion can use.

Her testimony could be different if you "cheat" on her.

Faithful: Shepard couldn't have done it.
"Cheat" : of course she did it i saw her with my own eyes!
