A few more pics from my Synthesis ending.  I'll re-run through the other two endings tonight or tomorrow and grab some screenies from them.  Yay for more Sam!

For the EDI/Traynor shippers out there.

This entire play through was soooooooo empty.  No Garrus or Virmire Survivor (I kicked Kaidan off the ship) or Tali.  It was really weird.  The whole time I could only select from four team members, and it was four only because I had Javik.  It also made this version of the extended cut slides really quick, since there were only two people who survived ME2 (not counting Liara): Kasumi and Zaeed.

One of the few things I liked about the Synthesis ending, even though I think it's totally BS.  Kasumi and her greybox love are reunited.

Assuming direct control, anyone???? :whistle:

Randomly cool image I might use at some point in the future after shopping out the text.

Another randomly cool image.

Don't be upset, Sam.  Everything works out fine in the canon play through.  :D  (Pssst... my name ain't Commander, btw.)

Synthesis....ugh.


Off-topic #1: I must be behind the times...but what is this "ship" term that people have been throwing around recently? I noticed a few .gifs floating around BSN that used the term. Valorefane just did it as well.


Off-topic #2: I am channeling my inner-Samantha Traynor and am totally geeking out on Google's Nexus 7 tablet. I...want one. I bought the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 a few months ago (and absolutely love it). But I might consider getting rid of it for Google's tablet, for a few reasons. Specs-wise it's superior to the Galaxy, although the Nexus lacks a microSD slot (I'm a firm believer in expandable storage). The Nexus is cheaper than the Galaxy, and runs Jelly Bean instead of ICS.

Oh....and...

Nexus 7 = N7 = mind BLOWN.

It took me a bit to figure that one out as well, and I totally /facepalmed myself after and then started looking for my walker.  :unsure:  It's short for relationship.  I initially thought it had something to do w/ putting the two people in question on a ship of some sort and sending them somewhere.  LOL  I'll blame the Navy for that one.

And there's another handy acronym.  OTP = One True Pair(ing).  As in, I think so-and-so belongs with BillyRayJoeJimBob.  I see that one a lot.


Nexus 7 = N7 = mind BLOWN.

That's it.  I'm gonna pick one of those up.  :wizard:

i do not know if this was discussed, but if you romance Samantha and have the datapad app, you get an email from saying that she still feels dirty. if this has not been discussed before what are your thoughts, but if it has ignore this part and read the random fluff dialogue below.

*Samantha is talking to Diana over the intercom*
Diana: so, i won't be putting this on the air, just what is the deal between you and Shepard?
Samantha: i have no clue what you are-
Diana: you know what i am talking about, i saw that kiss in the CIC between you two. i just want to know, are you two together or not?
Samantha: *silent for a minute* yes, we are together, romantically.
Diana: doesn't the alliance have some sort of regulations against that sort of thing?
Samantha: i think this conversation is over.
Diana: i'll take that as a yes.

Jealous is a strong word.  Let's just say the Diana was going to "talk" to Sam when she saw her and Shepard kissing.

Attention Samantha fans!

As a result of the popularity of the Romance DLC thread and polls on BSN and HTL, folks over at HTL have combined all the suggestions and made a new, more in depth survey. 

It will only take 5 minutes of your time, unless you like to make comments, and we hope to get even more responses than on the BSN polls.

Results will be analyzed, summarized into a report, and sent to Bioware.

If you want to be heard on this issue, this is the best way to do it!

Please take the survey and spread the word!!

Samantha Traynor is perfect <3

I'm still mystified as to how anyone manages to actually get good at playing chess.

Yes, yes she is.

As for chess, it's really not that hard to learn to play.  It's harder to learn to play WELL because you've got to think several moves ahead.
I'm decent at chess, but Sam would totally kick my ass.  Not as bad as she did Shepard, but yeah...  Although, it sounds like Shepard is HORRIBLE at chess, so being less terrible than that isn't really much of an accomplishment.  :P

I would much prefer to learn how to play  Go   and 

So yeah Samantha own my Shepard in Chess 

My Shepard owns her in Go  so it balances out.  

Samantha picked up Shogi  kinda  quickly sense its of the same family as Chess.

Out of curiosity, Did you guys feel closure to the Samantha Romance? I know that both Steve and Samantha don't get a Beam Rush goodbye scene, so did you guys still find closure to the relationship?

Not nearly as much closure as I'd like.  Sam and Cortez didn't really get anything added to the EC, so I'm still where I was before as far as that's concerned.
The rest of the EC sort of addresses most of the plot holes, even if it doesn't really close them up.

The one thing I did find some sort of... not closure, really... more like slight satisfaction... out of was the name on the wall.  Specifically NOT putting the name on the wall after the Destroy ending w/ a high EMS and the way she looks up and has a little smile, like she knows Shepard is still alive.  She can just feel it in her bones.

That put a smile on my face when her face went from this:

yes I felt I got some closure(could of been more) with sam smiling at the end. It gives that more reason to play through the game again.

Samantha: it's alright.
Diana: i want to tell you, over our time talking, i began to, have feelings for you, then i saw you and Shepard kissing in the CIC and, my heart broke, i am happy for you.
Samantha: wait, you like me, that way?
Diana: that is all you got out of that tirade?
Samantha: sorry, i would like to help but, i feel like Shepard is my soulmate, you understand
Diana: i understand, i wont force you to end things with the commander. *leaves*

She's become my preferred LI for my FSheps and I thought I got some closure via the dialogue about the future that you have with her post-Cronos. In the survey, I mentioned I wanted a goodbye scene at the Citadel beam, but I don't expect to get it.

Once again, Valorefane took the words (or screencaps...in this case) right out of my mouth.  It was a shame Sam didn't get any additional lines in the EC, but I knew that was being a little overly optimistic.

But, what she didn't say in words, she said in emotion.  I absolutely loved the three screen-caps that Valorefane posted up, and the range of emotions that Sam exhibited in the Destroy ending.  Her memorial scene ties with Garrus' "DEM MANDIBLES!!!" smile as the best ones, imho.

I was mashing my screen cap button like a madman trying to get the exact right images during that scene.  I'm glad they worked.  :D

I'm all for this.  The more voices we add together, the better chance we have of being heard.

I like Samantha, but I admit that as a Liaramancer, I feel a teensy bit jealous over her intelligence work... oh well.

If not with Shepard, whom would you ship Samantha with?
