I think I may get what you're saying. And I hope my next one won't disappoint!

Also it's cool that you're a writer and for children as well! I imagine that presents all manners of different challenges.

DLC is cool, and in the case of Kasumi even appropriate. As long as her character's intact more Kasumi is always good!

[Mr. Tanner]

Agreed. I never really got to use her much when I was a solider, her greatest use comes when you don't have access to the disruptor ammo, and need her overload skill as well as the shadow strike. I found I used her the most as a sentinel. Bloody hell, was the combination of my overload and her shadow strike scary.

I never put any points in her overload. I just concentrated on her Shadow Strike and Flashbang. I should probably try to play as an Adept so that I can be more efficient w/ the powers, since I'll be using Overload. I don't know. I still have one Insanity playthrough to complete and then I need to make another Soldier character.

I don't care if Kasumi-san is LI or not. As long as she's in ME3 (and not killed off or something equally terrible), I'm happy. It would be even better if she's a permanent squadmate but maybe that's asking for too much.

[Ravensword]

I have hope there will be several character specific DLC that will come out as time goes on. After all, that's a really good way to make money.

Owl was right however. The Kasumi question was dodged. But it really was asked, and rather early too. Before the Tali face. Heh, score one for us

Keh?.........Yes Kasumi question was dodged, I wish BW would give us a little ground....I was going through the 'Who would you want as LI' Thread and Kasumi's name came up over and over again, she is definitely one of the most popular.....Question:

Do you think BW is going to fulfill the Kasumi LI wish or not?

What? You miss me calling you mom, mom?

Well they better give me what I want. there is no reason why they shouldn't make KAsumi a LI in the release version. It is true that  later LDC would ruin the epicnes sof first playthrough

**SPI-SPA-SPOILERS!!!**

Stop reading if you wish to avoid said spoilers.

Last warning!

Spoiler question: Does anyone know if, based on the leaked script(s), there's a way to save Kasumi if you decided to destroy the greybox? Figured at the time it's 'what he would have wanted', when my Shep suggested to destroy it.... might regret it now

** END OF THE SPOILER-LINE**


You can read now...

do what? You definitely read a different script than I did. Where did ya find it?

Okay, I have searched high and low on the Net for these spoilers (leaked info) and can not find them...would someone please PM the links to me?...Please?

Me too

Suprisingly not as many as would be thought....I spoke with a great many people before I started, concerned about how to simplify the text and was quickly advised by all not to....so the text remains fairly sophisticated, having really just reduced the number of more complex words. And I know the story type well that I wanted to convey, was already quite familier with it.

I am looking forward to your next installment Cricket...is it going to be related to the narrative you have already posted? An extension of some sort?

[Golden Owl]

As for the DLC idea....I don't know myself if it not being there from the start would matter too much to me...so long as I knew it was coming....My most outstanding curiousities and focus on my first game runs will be what effect's my ME1 & 2 decisions will have on ME3.

Hey Cricket....whats your disturbing thought about Kasumi?

That's interesting. What ages are you writing for? I know I always appreciated material that was more complex and themes that were more mature when I was younger.

As for the next short, no it won't be related. The stuff I have now is meant to be a series of unrelated short stories that show Kasumi and Shepard but from an "outer" perspective. Functionally I'd like it to work like the Animatrix- unrelated scenes, possibly with different styles that all show off a different aspect of their common subject matter.

It's really an excercise in exploring the characters. I feel like I need to know Kasumi more before I write her in some epic yarn and these tangential encounters help me pin her character down a lot. I just hope it works to keep readers interested as well. It probably won't work if you're expecting plot continuity. But I hope readers will like what they see in terms of style and the character itself.

Ah... well I probably won't be making any friends here with this one. But it's been tugging at the back of my mind since I thought of it.

Basically I was having a discussion on here (on another thread) that turned to Kasumi, and more specifically Kasumi-Jacob. I'm of the opinion that it's naught but a crush, a distraction to help her deal with the loss of Keiji and (at least in my playthrough) the loss of the last bit of him, the graybox. But the other person pointed out the haikus and the implied stalking, evidence that tends to contradict the "simple crush" theory. Anyway to get to the point, I started thinking what if Kasumi has one of those obsessive disorders? Up to now it's pretty much been assumed that she's the most stable squadmate or at least the one with the least baggage. But, she can't let go of Keiji, she stalks someone she barely knows and writes poetry about them, she willingly steers towards a confrontation with Hock as a result of the former...

I don't like this theory and I'm fighting against it. But it keeps poking at me. What if Kasumi is an emotionally unstable obssessive-type? I don't like this at all:unsure:

[Labrev]

Good to see you back, Golde Nowl!

[JosephDucreux]

So...no Kasumi backstabbing enemies with a kunai after decloaking in ME3?

Sad faec.

6-10 years...somewhere around that anyway....just a series of short stories tied to a central character....kind of disconnected adventures he had while growing up....his now old and passing his stories on to the young.

Stepping back and taking a neutral look....I honestly don't think we have enough information to pin that on her as yet.....Keji, I can easily imagine it would be very difficult to let go of one you deeply loved who died under such violent circumstances, that would be a lot to come to terms with....As for Jacob, it's just a poem....What would warrent knowing is who wrote her part? A male or female writer?....That would reveal quite a bit in the intention of her character.

Whoa, crazy thing you did with the quotes there. I like it. Good luck on your stories, they sound amazing. And although I'm no expert I think if they're written slighty above the age you're aiming for they'll be that much more memorable and will also age well (at least it works that way for cartoons^_^)

As for the... undesirable theory, it is the Jacob stuff that pushes that the most, and more specifically the implication that she "watches" him. Of course it's not conclusive and thus I can still breathe easy. But it does worry me.

Why do you think male/female writing matters in this case?

Sorry about the quote thing...I was a bit stumped on how to handle it....I'm REALLY bad with computers....

As for my stories...I honestly don't know if I could write the kinds of stories the older kids would be looking for...as I mentioned earlier, my stories are kind of Aesops Fablish in feel.

Male/Female writer....the majority of women and men really do have quite different perceptions of romance and love in many ways...what a man may see as odd, a woman may see as utterly romantic....what a woman may see as disconnected a man may see as practical, etc....It does make a difference and I can see how Kasumi's behaviour could mean two very different things depending on the writers angle/perception.

Is anybody here replaying any of their Sheps getting ready for the big day?

....I am currently replaying my Paragon, but then have my Renegade to finish off....Thought I would get a dose of Paragon first as I have been off the game for a while and couldn't throw myself straight into a Ren run....Funny thing is my aim seems to have improved after the break....

About the Kasumi question being dodged. But it pops up everywhere. they cannot 'not-get' the memo

Crutch: Well she is watching over everyone. That's how she knows about everything. She actually watched you do it with Miranda. I don't thing she has anything worse than cleptomania. If she was not joking about it.

I have but one Shep but multiple playthroughs, mostly for the different romances. I'm doing a Tali one right now. Of course Kasumi is invariably my right hand;) Did you see my screenshots a few pages back?

Going back to male/female writing, I would agree intent would vary and that might be important. But impact still matters no? I remember the end of the third Darth Bane book by Drew Karpyshyn. He intended one outcome but wrote it so ambiguously the fans actually intrepreted the complete opposite. He had to step in and declare "No it's actually supposed to be this." I would actually be tempted to try and get the writers to deny this implication just to make sure.

Mech: She knows everything because she knows how to listen and is crazy good at reading people. She doesn't stalk everyone invisibly (how could she stalk everyone all the time?). Also I don't believe she's a voyeur. The engine room... wasn't exactly subtle.
The implied stalking of Jacob however is more explicitly made, even if still indirectly so.

I hope Kasumi is made a Love Intrest in Mass Effect 3 because Kasumi is just awesome plain and simple. I love her attitude, personality and more than any thing I love her Character shes just awesome.

Slightly off topic but does anyone else think that it's a little lame that Bioware has not released any information about the other new Love Intrests's I mean come it's only a little more than a month away from release date and we don't even have a clue.

I just think that Bioware could release more info about the other New Love Intrests this close to Release.
