I used an old save in my first playthrough to see what happens. Ashley seemed so sad.

Shepard's line: *goes to work* People don't getting second chances.
Ashley's: .... we did. *leaves*

I nearly cried! Jon-Mal, you're a heartless ******!


Ouch.

I'm kinda glad I missed the theory "kid = descendant of Liara/Shepard". And Aurora ... why did you change your avatar :o I miss the old one :crying:


Shepard: G'morning, Ash.
Ashley: Hey Skip. Coffee?
Shepard: Yeap. So, how's it? Your second day as captain of this ship.
Ashley: Dunno - I feel great. My ship, my crew, you ... everything is perfect.
Shepard: And no war.
Ashley: As I said: everything is like it should be.
Shepard: We just need to find a way how to reactivate the Mass Relays. Since the Reapers are gone they ceased to function. At least they didn't blow up like in that hallucination I had. Harbinger really tried to get me on my bad side.
Ashley: You never told me everything about that story. All Liara and I saw was when you get hit.
Shepard: Nearly.
Ashley: You went down, Skipper. Liara cried when she saw this and I ... I did too. We had to fall back, but she didn't want to go. We thought you were dead.
Shepard: According to Dr. Chakwas, I was dead - for more than four hours.
Ashley: I know. Creepy part: you came back on your own. No one touched you - and then you wake up. A miracle. Another one.
Shepard: Seems so.
Ashley: This time you saw something. I wonder ... what did you see?
Shepard: Frankly? I saw hell. Corpses everyhwere, some looked like you and Kaidan. Then I saw Anderson and the illusive man ... and then I shot at Anderson. I was forced ... couldn't do anything. I ... Ash ... it was hell. Can't talk about any further, not now.
Ashley: I'm sorry, Skipper. Didn't know-
Shepard: Still need to sort things out. The war is over, Ash. Anderson is alive and reorganizing the Alliance. Seems we got away from this stuff with two broken legs and lots of bruises, but we're still here. Which is much more than we had two years ago.
Ashley: You're right. So, what's on our agenda today?
Shepard: You're the captain. Tell me, Ash *smirks*
Ashley: But you got called by Hackett in the middle of the night ...
Shepard: Oh that. Uhmm. Yeah, he gave us orders ... seems the Quarians need some help. That's a good opportunity to visit Tali, don't you think?
Ashley: Admiral Tali'Zorah vas Normandy? Of course ... *smiles*

Wanted to stand out a bit. Plus, I'm gonna change it to a custom one soon. Just need to remember where I put the instructions, and find a pretty image of Shepley.

-------

Joker: So Commander - Gah.
Shepard: I'm retired Joker, lose the rank.
Joker: Sorry, Shepard. But to everyone on the crew, you'll always be the Commander.
Shepard: I suppose, I just don't wanna see everyone saluting. Technically the only reason I haven't been kicked off this ship is because I'm still a SpecTRe.
Joker: Still keeping the other job, huh?
Shepard: The benefits and paycheck are nice, and the council is happy to let me do what I want.
Joker: You're just sticking around for Ash's sake, aren't you?
Shepard: Yeah, there's that too. Could say the same for you and EDI.
Joker: I've never been a fan of long distance relationships, Commander.
Shepard: There's that rank again.
Joker: As I said, you'll always be the Commander to us.
Shepard: Thanks Joker. And neither have I.
Joker: Guess SpecTRe status is good for something after all. Anyway, in case you're wondering Ash is up in the warroom. Sounds like she and a few Quarrians are having disagreements.
Shepard: Thanks Joker. But Ash is a big girl, She'll be -

*CRASH!!!!!!*

EDI: Shepard, there has been an... accident, in the Warroom.
Joker: Posted Image
ShepardPosted Image I'm gonna go check that out.
Joker: Yeah, go do that.

Continue, Aurora, please ^^
And I definitely love the post-war non-Commander Comander Shepard. He feels much more relaxed. And Ash definitely enjoys his presence.

However, I must say, even without his Spectre rank, Shepard would stay with Ash on board of that ship. He's a goddamn hero, a legend. That should count for something, huh?

Agreed. Custom avatars are the best. And I'm not saying it 'cause I have one myself. :P

Reminds me when I reloaded and shot Mordin just to see the altered cutscene. Pretty well done. But even my renegade couldn't do it to him. For the good or bad, krogans will always get the cure. And I could never shoot Ash on Citadel. However I had no problem shooting Kaidan. Or killing Legion.

Yeah, but SpecTRe status is his official 'Do whatever I want and get away with it' badge. Sure the Alliance wouldn't deny him whichever post he wanted.

And thats what I wanted to get across, he's not juggling two careers anymore. And of course, Ashley is there. And the galaxy doesn't need saving again, so yeah. He's relaxed. :)

Speaking of killing Ashley: did ANYONE got the scene where she gets mortally wounded and says some last lines to Shepard? There's that heartbreaking dialogue in case she was romanced ... wonder if it made it into the game or if Ashley ALWAYS dies instantly.

What scene are you talking about? The Udina one? If you romanced her, I don't think it's possible for her to die(I tried).

Ok, I am on my second run through of the game, and there is a good chance I messed this up again. But how in the hell do you start the romance with Ashley??? I can't find any videos on you tube that walk you through it. All that comes up are videos about the sex scene. It is ridiculous. So any help would be great.

She sends you an Email after you recruit her about meeting on the Presidum. After that, just play your cards right and choose paragon options pretty much.

Interesting. So, if you romance VS in ME3, s/he can't die even when shot? Because if you romance VS only in ME1 and not ME3, s/he dies. Tried with Kaidan. He and Shep had a few lines about how sorry they were. Sad moment.

I romanced Ash in ME1 and continued in ME3. She doesn't even get shot, she'll point the gun at Udina even if you picked all the 'bad' choices. So I guess if you break up with her in ME3, then she gets shot, like you did with Kaidan.

Ahh okay. Think Igip had the moment with Kaidan ...
I dunno, why shouldn't it possible to kill the VS even if romanced? I don't get it. Not that I want to shoot Ash.
Still want to see the sad moment when she has her last lines before dying. It was in the leaked script. Very touching dialogue.

That depends. If the council from M1 is alive, There will be no issues.

Coucil alive  = + 2 points + ashley romance in M1 + 2 points, + reputation + 2 points etc.

if the council from M1 is dead, = - 2 points  for example.

There's a formula behind this? Okay, I think there's one behind Geth/Quarian peace - you can't achieve it if you rewrote the Heretics and sacrificed Admiral Koris. If you killed the Heretics, you still can negotiate peace even if Koris died.

So it's the same for the VS?

Old Council +2
Reputation +2
Romance +2
Talks to VS +2
Salarian Councilor saved +2

?

Do you happen to have the leaked script with all her lines? It used to be at http://dana-duchovny.livejournal.com/   but he/she removed it for some damn reason.

In my second playthrough when I didnt romance Ash, I friendzoned her (was romanced in ME1 and did not cheat in ME2), i got the renegade-interrupt option to shoot her, ofc I didnt, i managed to persuade her instead. When I romanced Ash i didnt even get he renegade-interrupt. Dont think its possible to shoot her if you kept her romanced.

EDIT: Might have mixed this up with my unromanced kaidan. In ^ those playthroughs the old council was alive, all of them. When i had kaidan there, the old council+new salarian was dead, and I definetly got the renegade interrupt-opt

MegaBadExample sent me this a while ago:

Shepard: I’m sorry, Ash.
Ashley: Hey, you did what you thought was right.
Shepard: Never thought I'd find you defending a politician.
Ashley: Had to take a stand, Shepard. You taught me that.
Shepard: It didn't have to be like this, Ash. Did you see him pull that gun?
Ashley: Sorry, skipper. You Don’t hesitate to save people. Neither do I.
Shepard: I love you, Ash. Why couldn’t you see that?
Ashley: I did. And yeah. I love you, Shepard.
Shepard: Never thought I'd be seeing you off like this, Ash.
Ashley: Sorry, Shepard. I make choices. I live with them. So to speak.
Shepard: -Quotes old poem-
Ashley: You ever hear the end of the poem?
Shepard: -Missing line-
Ashley: Look it up. "My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale
and still./My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse or will.
Shepard: -missing line-
Ashley: Doesn't have a happy ending. And it shouldn't. Not everyone gets one.
Shepard: No they don’t, Ash. No they don’t.
Ashley: Tell Liara I don’t hate her.
Shepard: I will. Ash, you can rest now.
Ashley: And…Shepard, you’re forgiven, too. Next lifetime, Just... be good to that girl of yours.
Shepard: Always wondered what would have happened if I hadn't left you, Ash.
Ashley: Till… we meet again.
Shepard: Goodnight, Ash.


That's the one in case Ashley was romanced and got shot in the Udina event.

yeah, it's the same thing. I just gave an example, it wasn't accurate what I said. But for sure, a new player needs more reputation than someone who plays mass effect since the beginning. I noticed that if the council is alive, Ashley can't even doubt, because they already trust shepard who saved their lives. So Udina, does not show its "proofs " about Shepard who tries to kill them all.

If it is another council, there, it is more difficult, Udina shows its proofs to ashley , and Shepard needs to convince her. ( so reputation + conciliaton or renegade ) And that's where to choose her as a Li could also play a role. If you don't get enought points, you'll need to kill her or your companion will do it.

So a new player who doesn't even have Ashley as LI, with another council, and who doesn't get enought reputation ( conciliation + renegade ) won't be able to convince her. Also, what you said about Cerberus on Mars might be also taken into account.

Here's the cut dialogue that involves Ashley's new 'hair'

Shepard: Ash... I get what you're trying to do.
Ashley: Hey, no brushing me off. Talk to me. What's going on?
Shepard: I'm not brushing you off. I'm just thinking about everyone we've lost fighting this war.
Ashley: I understand. Man, do I ever.
Shepard: It just catches up with me sometimes.
Ashley: You know, I was lost without you. When I thought you were dead, it broke my heart. And then you found your way back. It was a miracle. Screw the science -- it was a goddamned miracle, Shepard.
Shepard: Ash...
Ashley: Shut up. It's a damn miracle.
Shepard: I'm looking for any advantage we can use, anything that'll help. The Reapers... they're not like any enemy we've faced. This isn't just some firefight. It's bigger than that, and it's on us to turn back the tide.
Ashley: And we will. 
Shepard: You're pretty damn sure of yourself.
Ashley: Sure, we haven't faced them like this before... but the same is true for them. We'll win this.
Shepard: Damn straight.
Ashley: Yes. Good. Now mention the hair.
Shepard: Silky, stunning. How could I not mention it?
Ashley: My work here is done.
Shepard: You're not going anywhere.

Ahh thanks for clearing up.

Actually, I like the formula stuff. BW should have done it in ME1 and ME2 too, so some paths weren't available ... actually, it's maybe the best way to simulate "your decisions have influence" stuff.

Speaking of: why did they never do the same for the romances? I really wish BW would have done.

- too low points: LI not available
- low points: LI available for flirt
- med points: LI available for flirts and dates
- high points: LI romance arc fully unlocked
- extra points: LI romance arc fully unlocked and secret scenes available
- imported Shepard + extra points: LI romance arc fully unlocked, secret scenes available, "true love" scenes available.

Hmm ... explore Ashley's romance three times and three times it'll feel different ^^

Yes, that's one of the dialogues I missed - and it got cut. Dunno if someone datamined Ashley's lines yet, but I'm sure BW recorded that dialogue and dummied it out.

It's also one of the dialogues I want to have back with a patch or romance DLC.

@CptDAta. Yeah it would have been cool. :)

Can you mp me what missed in M3 from the leaked script ? I want all the Ashley's lines ! Now I am ready. ( If I didn't read the leaked script, that's because I knew there would be cut content as usual during game development and I didn't want to be disappointed. )

And did you write your headcanon finally ?
