Even the dress on the ship seems impractical. No one wears a dress for comfort, let alone when you're fearing for your life. As for me, I'd like it if she had something like a press vest that has the word PRESS on the back. The whole point of it is so they have a greater chance of surviving, same reasons medics wear a similar vest.

Like I said I could care less about the dress on the ship. Sure it seems impractical but it doesn't bother me. I already said she should wear some armor or a KB, a simple vest may not work against hypervelocity rounds.

Doubt husks give a crap if you're press or a medic.

The equivalent of that would probably be some generic armor like we had in the beginning of ME1. That with the press emblem on the back is what I would expect a press person to wear in a warzone then.

Why some people are thinking that she'll wear a dress in a warzone ?

Very true. You're fighting husks and the indoctrinated. Standard rules of war may not apply.

Neither does Al queada, but the expectation is they will have a higher chance of surviving if the other side understands that a medic or the press doesn't have a gun to fire back at them.

Precedent: Miranda wore her catsuit everywhere. ME2 didn't have the casual outfit/armor distinction for squadmates. Of course they might've been addressed that in ME3.

Honestly. I'm not offended by her appearance at all. She reminds me of the female version of Vega - skin tight clothes galore, leaving little to the imagination. I'm alright with it, really.

The only thing I'm worried about is whether or not the actress will do a good job.

Well, that and I am actually starting to listen to the ME3 detractors who whine about how much ME3 is kind of selling out and marketting to a very specific crowd of players. Of all the VAs in the world, of all the interesting and sci-fi related people out there, references galore, you chose a host from IGN?

At least Freddie Prinze Jr. looks like he probably PUSHED to get the Vega role. Hell. Vega looks nothing like that guy. There's probably talent there.

But Bioware is kind of failing in the 'Look! You get to romance a sexy game host! IN A SCI FI GAME!' thing. If they are trying to go for a theatrical edge like they keep claiming, giving a hawt IGN host some cameo time just cheapens the work.

No offense to folk who are excited about her being on there. I just question their motives.

Becuase there's a picture of her in a dress on a warship.

Al Queada might not shoot a medic or press because they're not threats but husks and indoctrinated will not care. Their goal is to kill everyone.

Like I said, that's the expectation, not necessarily the outcome. Journalists get killed all the time while covering the war, but it doesn't hurt to cover your ass and wear a t-shirt that says "press" on it. Better safe than sorry.

[Doctalen]

Maybe she'll pick up a gun an fight like that one reporter that I think was in Vietnam. I can not remember his name but he got a medal. Maybe he was fictional. I swear he isn't

Would you think a PRESS shirt or a medic badge would make a difference to zombies? No? Well that's more or less what husks are. They're not sentient. Therefore you can't apply sentient expectations to them. And indoctrinated aren't that much better.

Your forgetting that Cerberus is also the enemy. They may use her to either spread some propaganda or simply kill her. Having the Press symbol on while on a battlefield can easily help.

I doubt ME is going to take such a bad turn like turning a war game into resident evil. You'll be facing more than just husks. The reapers are coming, but everyone has their own little wars they're fighting. If she were to be involved in any fire fights I'd imagine it would be one that would matter to a journalist. One where there's more to that story than , "Man with 5 o'clock shadow kills corpses!"

Hmm. Marketing to a specific crowd you say. Yes that sounds about right. Sexy video game host. Might be appealing to say... gamers?
I think the decision makes sense because while she has to popularity to attract gamers she probably doesn't have the price tag that a veteran VA or screen actor would. Hell if she's even half the fan she says she is she might've done it for free. I'm not saying she did. But there's method in their madness.

Obviously we all want her to perform well and will be disappointed if she doesn't

BSN Logic at its greatest. 

She is a war correspondent - the only screneshot we see is her in a dress - so then one only must concluded that she where's a dress in the war zone.  


Of course never taking on the whole ton of factors  such... the context in which the screen was taken... was she just coming on board? etc, etc,


Really its all just a cover to sound "mature" while talking about boobs.

Because first thing anyone on the BSN talks is boobs for  15 pages of theard when the  we get the first reveal of character.

In  Vegas defense   he is just a natural big guy period  you can tell just by  his build yeah he works out but he was designed to be a gentlemen large stature and being one myself - no matter how hard look you are not going find a t-shirt  or anything at his not the least be snug.

Becuase there's a picture of her in a dress on a warship.

To be quite frank, the background from the full body shot doesn't look like any interior space from the Normandy I've ever seen. It's still kinda silly that a dress like that is within Alliance protocol, hence the logo, but ... eh? And the headshot one seems to be from her private room, hence the pictures on the back wall, so who knows? So far, though, it does look a little silly.

[CrutchCricket]

I'm not saying we'll only be fighting husks. I also mentioned indoctrinated enemies (wouldn't Cerberus fall under this category?), which will be using guns. But they'll likely have that same single-mindedness as any husk or zombie, namely "kill". If the Reapers don't care if you're press or medic, their agents won't either.

Well they redesigned the Normandy so it could be. But even if it isn't she's wearing it with the alliance logo, she's an alliance embed so where else would we meet her? It would have to be at a place that's associated with the government. So she's in a government facility in a pretty nightclub dress with a military logo. This character design is bad.

So we're only facing zombies and Cerberus? Which only needs TIM to be indoctrinated since they are just grunts who follow orders. So all of the conflicts we've seen so far, all of the little wars, salarians and krogan, quarians and geth will jsut stop so we can kill s**t? If that's the case then they've gotten rid of the story and I'm no longer interested.

Gotta agree with this.  I really hope she does a good job and actually contributes to the story, but if her performance sucks or her character seems tacked-on?  Respect for Bioware -50.

They do pale in comparison do they not? But I see your point. I can't completely rule out the possibility of free willed sentients as enemies.

They do but I thought it was part of the story for Shepard to become involved and resolve the problems of other species to get them focused to assist with the war effort. I also imagine that if this reporter has any importance to the story that would be where she would get involved the most, not when you're just killing things but covering the actual politics of it all.

Straight male gamers who have the money and time to watch IGN, yes. I asked several of my buddies and coworkers who are themselves straight male gamers working in Hollywood who this lady was, and even they didn't know.

Its a niche cameo wink. Which I mean, doesn't bug me that much I guess. But its something to be aware of if you care enough, I guess.

I think the decision makes sense because while she has to popularity to attract gamers she probably doesn't have the price tag that a veteran VA or screen actor would. Hell if she's even half the fan she says she is she might've done it for free. I'm not saying she did. But there's method in their madness.

I really doubt that. A paycheck is a paycheck, especially for a woman of her looks and fanbase.

If anything, I see it as a move to attract very SPECIFIC kinds of gamers. The sort that aren't RPGers. Halo, Modern Warfare, Army of Two. That comes to mind. Because of all my buddies who actually watch IGN, the only ones that two are exclusively FPS gamers.

Not to say its a bad thing, but it is something to be aware of when it comes to the crowd Bioware is trying to cater towards.
