B/c it doesn't look like something she would wear. She even speaks out against outfits like that in ME1. It looks terribly unprofessional and it clashes with itself as well. The concept arts are way better, IMO, and look more professional. Sure BW can take Ashley in whatever direction they want, but that doesn't mean I'm just going to accept and roll with it. I'm going to let them know how I feel. The more posts in that thread, the better. 

To me, it's not even really about the outfit... it's what that outfit says about the direction they could be taking her character. Everything from the new brows, eyes, facial structure tweaks, and that outfit say they're taking her into a more feminine roll or eye candry roll... ie an Ashley that's not the Ashley we knew and loved in ME1. I don't want a complete 180 turn around in her character. 

And don't try to say it's character development and with no development characters are bad... she's had plenty of development... hell, she's a spectre... I don't see the reason for changing her looks so drastically. 

I'll leave this quote to end my post,

"Kaidan's look emphasizes what a tough marine he is.  Every shot we've seen of him has been in some form of heavy armor.  Bioware is emphasizing Kaidan's masculinity and Ash's femininity.  Essentially turning them into cliched stereotypes to make them appear more attractive." 

^ Ashley was pretty much the opposite of that in ME1... as a strong, independent type woman. 

THAT is why I'm against that outfit. If it all turns out to be fine and it's just a stupid design idea and they didn't change her character up... I'll be happy.


Yes, yes, I have seen plenty of your comments how everyone who doesn't actively hate the outfit is a mindless idiot who just bends over for Bioware's stupid ideas and how everyone who doesn't think the outfit goes against her character doesn't care about or know Ashley's character.
As I said, I don't like everything about the outfit (color of her pants), but the way you and a few others represent your opinion - and it's just that - makes me hardly want to sympathize with you.

Come on, this is the woman who wears a little make-up even as a gunnery chief being put in hideous armor by the Alliance military, the woman who rather agressively flirts with Shepard despite her quoting the regs against fraternisation, who talks about her dance moves and taking her sisters for a girl's night out.
I can see her opening up more in that way now that she seems to have gained more authority, no reason she has to trade in her "strong, independent type woman" side. The two sides go well together, they always have, the balance just has shifted a little and it doesn't mean she can't still kick ass or drill you between the eyes at a hundred paces.

You may not like this direction, but it's valid development, regarding how she has been shown in the first game, at least in my opinion and I seem to be not the only one.

The fact that it's mostly the same people in those threads, doesn't mean their lenght is any indication that a majority has a problem with the outfit, there might be more, but they might not want to post in them, because of the prevelant ugly tone.

And people are right, that topic is tiresome, so this is the last from me on this.

Okay, Aurora, here we go ...
I'll use my "Tali is Ashley's best friend" headcanon ...

Tali: Wrex looks as if he's going to kill someone any second.
Ashley: I know. Lets hope Shepard can cool him down. If not ... I don't want to shoot Wrex.
Tali: I couldn't do that.
Ashley: Sure? If your captain is threatened by someone, you would not protect him?
Tali: That's not what I said, Ashley.
Ashley: I'll shoot Wrex if I must. I can't loose Skip... Commander Shepard.
Tali: Ashley, may I ask you something?
Ashley: Sure.
Tali: I'm not sure if anyone else gets that image, but it looks as if you like Shepard more than usual.
Ashley: Guess you're seeing things. He's my superior officer.
Tali: He is. In the Fleet it's not unusual to grow affection for superior officers - it is allowed, sometimes even supported-
Ashley: I know where this is going, Tali. No. We're not allowed to do that, at least not in the same chain of command. And besides that ... even if I feel something for him, I don't think he's returning those feelings. Why should he? The man with the Star of Terra ... why should a warhero talk to a Williams?
Tali: Why shouldn't he?
Ashley: My name is blacklisted. My grandfather was the first - and only - human general who surrendered to aliens.
Tali: I understand.
Ashley: So why should a warhero like Shepard feel anything for me? I'm not special.
Tali: Maybe because he don't care for what your grandfather did but for you as a person?
Ashley: Shepard knows my file.
Tali: And did he ever do something that gave the feeling something is wrong?
Ashley: No ... feels more as if he wants make me feel welcome ...
Tali: Then you shouldn't worry about that.
Ashley: But I should worry about Wrex. Shepard isn't back yet ...
Tali: However, they're still talking ...
Ashley: ... and pointing guns at each other! Sorry, Tali, have to protect Skipper ... Shepard!
Tali: Wait!
Ashley: No! *reloads rifle*
Tali: Don't shoot!
...

Alternating prematurely ending of ME3 - non spoiler.

"You must do this ... for me ..." These had been his last words to her, just seconds before he died. Shepard was dead, for the second time in his life. He didn't die like a hero, but like a beaten man: everything was lost. Earth was burning, every life had been stripped of most of the worlds in Citadel space. The Normandy was no more, Joker died with her while trying to save Shepard.
Shepard got defeated in the very moment he had lost any hope.
And she had to end him, couldn't bear the sight of her entirely destroyed lover.
Ashley felt the weight of her gun. There was only one thing to do ...


The darkest ending is not dark enough: Shepard or Ashley could get reaperfied ...

Nice dialogue CptData
As I was writing the article for the magazine I've been working on, I had another idea/ Twist to a dialogue I wrote some time ago between Ashley & Shepard just after escaping earth:

SSV Normandy SR2 - En Route to Citadel from Earth
Deck 1 The Loft
17.30hrs

*Shepard is standing at his desk, after removing the top half of his uniform he's attending to the scrapes and cuts he received while he was trying to reach the Normandy with Anderson when the door to his cabin opens*

Shepard: ah James I was just about to call you......oh hello Lt.Commander
Vega: Sir, shouldn't Dr Chackwas take a look at you
Shepard: It's just a few scrapes James it takes a lot more than this to get me into the Medbay.
Vega: True, you normally have to be unconscious
Shepard: Funny....Now James I want a complete report on the Normandy's systems and crew status......and I want a briefing within in the hour.
Vega: Sir, But shouldn't that be the XO's reasonability? (Vega looks at Ashley)
Shepard: That's correct James
Vega: Sir, Regulations state the the second most senior officer assigned to the ship is automatically XO
Shepard: Also correct Executive Officer Lt. James Vega. Dismissed.
Vega: Sir, Yes Sir. *Vega salutes, turns and exits Shepards cabin*

*Ashley stands there bewildered and speechless as Shepard puts on a clean uniform shirt*

Shepard: Is there something you wanted Lt. Commander Williams?
Ashley: An explanation for one & the fact that I out rank Lt. Vega for another
Shepard: You made you feelings quite clear on Horizon and Earth Lt. Commander, You had no wish to serve on this vessel or under my command and since we've only seen each other once since then I assumed nothing has changed.
Ashley: That's not fair.....You where working for Cerberus then not the Alliance & I never came to see you on earth because there was never any time.
Shepard: No time, I was in that detention centre for 3 months and I know that you were on Earth for most of that time. Hell Vega had other duties but he managed to see me every day and Anderson came by at least once a week. But you the one person who I needed to talk to the most, wasn't there.
Ashley: What I meant was I wasn't ready to talk to you. So much has happened I didn't know what to think
Shepard: So what....Now that I've been proved right, that I was telling the truth all along. That I'm not some crazy maniac bent on destroying entire solar systems for fun. Now you trust me again?
Ashley: I couldn't be sure it was you. when I found out that Cerberus had brought you back from the dead who knows what else that could of done to you? I had to be sure that you were the Shepard that I fell in love with.
Shepard: By how not talking to me? Anderson, Hacket, Garrus, Tali, Liara, Wrex even Joker gave me a chance to prove it was me but you didn't. Why?
Ashley: Because I gave up on ever getting you back, Then when you saved me on Horizon I felt ashamed and guilty that I'd given up on you. All those feelings from the past 2 years came flooding back and I couldn't handle it. I thought that if I didn't see you it would get easier
Shepard: But it didn't did it?
Ashley: No and it wasn't because who you were working for either, If I had come with you & lost you again I just knew I wouldn't be able to take it. That's why I stayed away that's why I put up wall after wall in front of us. But now the Reapers are here none of us have much time left.
Shepard: Ash I can't promise you that I won't die we're both soldiers we both know the risks when we put on this uniform. But if it's our time then it's our time and nothing is going to change that.
Ashley: So there's no hope, for us....Earth and the galaxy?
Shepard: There's always hope. Look if you want to stay then stay but it has to be what you want.
Ashley: What about you what do you want?
Shepard: I want you here....I need you here, I can't do this without you. Now you know the question is do you want the same thing?
Ashley: I do want you John and I do want to be here but......
Shepard: Then lets start there and see where it goes. Ok......
Ashley: Ok. I think I'll go give Vega a hand with those reports

Starts sad but turns out cute. Nicely done ^^

Guess "formal Shepley" has some nice touch. Somehow I like it when Shepard pulls the serious / formal card and keeps distance to Ashley. It makes them so ... unfamiliar. Need to try that out next time.

Yeh it's just like using that line:

"With all due respect"

That really gets under Ashley's skin.

P.S thanks for the comment CptData

Wow... nice combat suit for the 22nd century. Bulletproof an' all.

It's quite a coincidence, actually. Today is the National Day of my country and there's a parade in the capital to celebrate it every year. Emergency units, military units and such all slowly ride and march from the Parliament all the way through our small Arch of Triumph and off to who knows where.

Anyway, I was watching it on TV and near the end some famous army division passed in traditional (XIX century) uniforms and the official who was commenting with the reporter actually said "you've seen them all here in dress uniforms or traditional uniforms with officer swords, but in combat, of course, they're equipped with modern weaponry, modern tactical gear, bulletproof vests and the like."

So I think his expert opinion (more like a restatement of fact, really) trumps any sentimental opinion you, I or anyone else might have. :) At least it does in the respect that you equate real life elements to something fictional and futuristic, thus covertly agreeing to a pattern of military evolution in this particular fiction that conforms to patterns found in reality. If the argument was to be made that it doesn't matter since kinetic shields do most, if not all of the work, then that might have been a valid point. And right now I could just use "Jack" as a blanket term. But that would be ignoring a key aspect: there's "lore" and there's "gameplay mechanics." I'm sure I don't have to explain why things work the way they do in RPG's, or games in general, so I'll pass on that particular rant.

As far as the character goes, I guess you could rationalize it using a plethora of methods in order to come to the conclusion that "it's valid development" and it may certainly be so. Remains to be seen, however, if this type of valid development manifests itself on more characters, or just this one. If it didn't, of course, that wouldn't mean that it's invalid, but I think it would demonstrate that it was done less with character development in mind and more with the "not sexy enough" crowd's pleads for bigger boobs; not that Williams has actually received such. And as far as BioWare's official stance of "listening to the fans" goes, everything's A-O-K.

Of course, Mass Effect is BioWare's baby and if they want to indoctrinate it into one of the world's stereotypes, that's their prerogative. That kind of generalisation is, of course, unfair and I've only mentioned it to make it clear that the only sense of entitlement I have is marginal, and certainly not beyond what BioWare has encouraged; in interviews or otherwise. To be honest, I'm quite happy with what they've done so far, (maybe that's why I keep getting Mass Effect) and it's not like I won't be getting ME3 because I don't like Williams' armour (*cough* gameplay mechanic *cough*), but this one decision, to me, just seems like such a grossly obvious pandering to a shallow audience.

And that's my opinion that I'm putting on a pedestal. Nuh nuh nah-nuh! :devil:

I was talking about dress uniforms, d'uh!

Of course I want armor for combat.

Besides, Mass Effect is a fictional futuristic setting, a comparison with our past uniform styles is as valid as with present ones, I didn't try to imply any sort of evolution
I was just trying to show, that thigh-high boots can be found in different places than your minds naturally seem to be migrating to.
I have no problem with your opinions or where you put them. I am just appalled by all the name calling. Which is somewhat inspiring, I admit:
Ah, that frat-house smell of pseudo-intellectuality and cheap, sexist jokes. How is that for size.

There is no doubt in my mind however that the design itself was partly inspired by good old "sex sells". Since it is still in an acceptable range for me and in line with the image of Ashley, I formed while playing Mass Effect 1, I just don't feel the need to go up against it and I actually like it apart from minor details.
The way it is, I wouldn't wear it myself in public, mostly because out on the street it would get the same jerktastic responses than on these boards.
It would actually be a great comfort for me to see, that Ashley can rock those boots in the in-game reality, without anyone making a big deal out of it.

This is my opinion lying comfortably on the sofa, thinking about wether it should conduct itself more seriously in regards to a game, but eventually throws its long, luscious hair back, signaling me to go and have some fun.

What is Ash looking at?
Image IPB

Ashley: Fanfics.
Kaidan: What?
Ashley: I am reading fanfics. Creepy stuff.
Kaidan: You mean some guys write stuff about fictional characters?
Ashley: Indeed. And it seems one of those characters is ... me.
Kaidan: Congrats! Seems they finally notice you.
Ashley: I'd be more happy if they simply would write a fanfic with "happy end". I hate going through emotional stuff: Shepard dies here, gets wounded there ... and they make me to some kind of Mary Sue. I mean, I'm just a normal soldier!
Kaidan: A normal soldier that kicked Saren out of existence and got promoted to Spectre.
Ashley: Speaking of, I thought you died on Virmire?
Kaidan: I did. I'm just here because the author of this dialogue decided so.
Ashley: You're a real downer.
Kaidan: I try my best.

Ashley: Tell me one thing, John ...
Shepard: Yes?
Ashley: Who was that woman on board of the Normandy SR2?
Shepard: Which one?
Ashley: Wrong answer *pulls gun*
Shepard: You know Tali, am I right? And there was Jack. Twisted girl with a horrible past.
Ashley: Go on.
Shepard: And there ... there was Samara. Another Asari with ... errm ... yes. A Justicar, some kind of templar. Oh and we had Kasumi. Very nice girl ...
Ashley: Okay, John. And what about the one you didn't mention?
Shepard: You mean ... Miranda?
Ashley: Exactly.
Shepard: She was my XO. Nothing more.
Ashley: Kasumi told me you shagged her in the engine room.
Shepard: Uhhh ... what? Why should she tell lies?!
Ashley: *aims at Shepard*
Shepard: ...
Ashley: You're a lucky guy, Skipper. Kasumi told me Miranda tried to do it with you - but you refused. I just wanted to see your reaction.
Shepard: Very funny.
Ashley: Wasn't intended as "fun". I want to ensure the one I love is faithful ...
Shepard: Do you mind to holster your gun, Ash?
Ashley: Uhh ... yes, Skip.
Shepard: Thank you.
Joker: Nice one ... another screenshot for BSN ...
Shepard: Get him, Ash!

Now that I've found the actual post I guess I'll give you a more well rounded answer.

Outfits do not always speak to a character. sure for most characters their outfit does speak to them, like JAck with her belts that show off her ocean of tattoo's. Sure she's a tortured soul that's been jaded for her entire life pretty much, but she's young and reaching the prime of her life and still trying to find herself. That being said she's possibly one of the most powerful squadmates in the series. I'd think she's on par with a fully leveled up Adept Shepard in terms of raw biotic power and she's skilled enough in combat to not need armor even with her AP outfit because her barrier can take it's place.

What you're forgetting is that Ashley's outfit is CASUAL. Downtime and where there's no guns. when you do see er with agun in her hand and providing covering fire for shepard against MELEE husks Shepard his/herself is in their casual outfit after being in combat!

As for the "it's not something she would wear" dude she says, unprovoked I might add, "If you wanna get me in a tinfoil miniskirt and thigh high boots, I want dinner first" Clearly in some part of her mind he likes wearing girly clothes that show of her body that she love to keep in shape for her duties. She's not a nun Reed, she's a young woman that has a sensetive side along with her tough soldier exterior.

Now that I think about it, Bioware's probably going off of feedback to their characters. If you look at the average poll Kaidan gets called weak and whiny and he's the VS that's openly hated the most amongst the BSN. He's a grizzeled 35 year old alliance vet so they're showing him in Armor and with shotguns to show his soldiery side. Ashley's been called manish and, lets face it, intimidates some of the male players of the game. So to ease the fear she's been shown in her casual outfit. That being said in the leaked footage she's pissed at the people she had a meeting with so she's still got their fire that we know and love her for.

This thought is about as simple as the concept of number zero and yet so many seem to overlook it.

I've seen the concept art with Ash in armor and am completely satisfied with it. Bet it will look even better in-game.

While I do hope that outfit is in game, that wasn't her combat outfit.  Casey Hudson tweeted that it was another uniform concept.  We haven't seen the armor yet.

"Those are all clothing concepts. Ashley has full armor and helmet similar to Shepard's, which I don't think have been shown yet."

Anyone hear about how Rob  Ralph Sbarge read the Horizon letter for his fanbase? That's something I want to see Kimberly Brooks do!

fixed the VA's name and I already emailed Kim asking if she could record herslef reciting tennyson since that's Ashley's favorite poet.


It's actually Raphael.   ;)

Oh god. I have nothing more to add.  I am a fail.

Kimberly Brooks seems much more private.  She's not an on camera actor like Raphael, Ali Hillis, Yvonne Hotstrovski, and even Courtenay Taylor.   She requires less exposure to make her career successful.  There's almost no information about her on the internet (not that I've checked okay I've totally checked).  Aside from her resume, demos and agent contact there's nothing in the way of personal information really.  Not even a twitter account.  I think she does have a Facebook page, but it's private.....um....said...one of my friends....who wasn't me...who checked.....

I'm so not this creepy, I swear....

Ashley: Don't play cute with me John I'm not in the mood. Vega comon you know
Vega: It wasn't me Commander? I have no idea who it was?
Ashley: Joker you must know you're always looking over the Normandy's surveillance cameras
Joker: I do sometimes but this happened while I was asleep.
Ashley: Then that brings me back to you John. Vega and Joker know better than to mess with me.
Shepard: Comon Ash it's only armor, does it matter what colour it it?
Ashley: I thought you said you didn't know?
Shepard: I didn't know who did it only that someone had painted you favourite armor bright orange
Vega & Joker: *snicker*
Ashley: Nock it off you two. Get out of here! Not you John.
Shepard: Dam. Look Ash I thought you said you like orange
Ashley: I said I liked oranges you bloody idiot.
Shepard: oopps. Now come on Ashley it was a tiny mistake, after all I let you put pink bed sheets in my cabin. not to mention those pink towels in the bathroom.
Ashley: Alright fairs fair I'll give you 10 seconds head start

Haha - poor whipped Shepard ^^ Nice one Alliance. Try to imagine Ash in an orange Phoenix Armor :whistle:


I'm in a creative mood today ...

"It is you decisions, Williams. You can follow me, or you can leave my ship. I'm going to finish the job, with or without you." Cold words from the man he once had loved her. As soon as he spoke the last word, he was heading for the CIC, leaving her with Joker in the cockpit.
Joker shook his head: "What happened between you two? I thought you two still go along ..."
"Seems that time is over. I know John - he doesn't change his mind that easily." Ashley sounded sad. It hurt her to see Shepard acting like that: not only he was concealing any emotions, he almost pushed himself so hard that it was just a matter of time until he couldn't take it anymore. Since they left Earth Shepard had rarely spoken a word. And now he was acting like a robot, focused on only one goal: to finish the job.
"I think he needs time, Ashley - he had a hard time down there. And now the entire galaxy is counting on him, even more than before. Don't blame him for hiding his thoughts."
Ashley gazed out of the port window: "I don't blame him, Joker. I just can't stand the thought he's no longer talking to me." - "Shepard will talk to you." he reassured her. "He can't hide forever on this ship, and so he can't hide his feelings. Know what? Whenever Shepard felt unsure about the mission, he asked me questions about the mission and the crew. That's all - if Shepard needs to talk, he will, and he will ask you first."
Joker checked a blinking button. "Incoming message. It's Admiral Hackett." - "Let me hear it, Joker."

"Normandy, this is Admiral Hackett. We got word you made it, that's the best news today. We had heavy losses and are currently falling back to Arcturus System. If you see Shepard tell him he's not only reinstated but also promoted to Major. We'll need you back ASAP with as much reinforcements as you can get. We're working on a plan how to stall the invasion, but we can't promise anything. Godspeed! Hackett out."

"At least not everything is lost." Joker checked the course. "Eight hours till arrival at the Citadel ..."
The second human Spectre nodded. "I'll check the weapons. I have a feeling we won't be alone at the Citadel - and I hope the fleets there hold out. Meanwhile ... I try my luck with Skipper. He has to listen to me."[/i]

It's actually Raphael.   ;)

Oh god. I have nothing more to add.  I am a fail.

Kimberly Brooks seems much more private.  She's not an on camera actor like Raphael, Ali Hillis, Yvonne Hotstrovski, and even Courtenay Taylor.   She requires less exposure to make her career successful.  There's almost no information about her on the internet (not that I've checked okay I've totally checked).  Aside from her resume, demos and agent contact there's nothing in the way of personal information really.  Not even a twitter account.  I think she does have a Facebook page, but it's private.....um....said...one of my friends....who wasn't me...who checked.....

I'm so not this creepy, I swear....

I seem to recall her mentioning in an interview somewhere that she got a lot of grief for the role, from folks who don't like Ashley.  :(

She's a great actress, though.  Does some of my favorite roles in some of my favorite other games.  :wizard:
