 While watching the demo playthrough that hit youtube, I just wanted to vent that the kid in the air ducts was the lazyest piece of writing to have come out of the ME team since Shephard decided to pile all his specialists into the shuttle to leave the normandy conveniently defenseless.

If you want us to care when you kill him, give us a scared normal kid, add him temporarily to the party and under Shephard's protection. Kill him off just as it seems you're about to make it safely to the Normandy. Now THAT will be tragic. You guys love giving us throway characters in the beginning of your games, this might have been the first one players would actually expect to survive the first mission. Or was a more direct death a bit too harsh, maybe stirring up a fuss over a bit of sideboob is as far on the scandal scale as you're willing to go?

When TragicPhilosotron 2000 told shephard that he can't save him and disappeared into the airducts that was pretty much the end of the users involvement. If he's that hellbent on death more power to him, but CoD style deaths don't engage the audience. Nobody but Fox News cares about CoD cinematics.

That was the stealthiest child on earth.

I'm still betting that he was all in Shepard's head.

I have not been on this site in ages, too busy overstaying my welcome on the Skyrim forums. Anyone link me to an information thread?

I think they were going for that had a chance to save him vibe, and then failed. Like faceplanted failed. Possibly hit their heads on the desk as they fell. Killed their creative juices. Shame.

I think what you put would have been way better. I certainly would have felt something after herding the kid around. Instead he joins all the other children that died in that city. Nameless. Not faceless, at least, but darn near. Basically just an after thought.

I was really uncomfortable with that scene. I get that it's a good way to get an emotional reaction but it felt a bit cheap to me. Spoiler maybe?: I felt the same with that scene from MW3.

I'd have thought one of the shuttles getting away would imply there is still hope for earth/more people alive to fight for. Just killing them off straight away is just... depressing.

(I love the idea that the kid was in Shepard's head.)

That kind of makes sense, and I'd more worry about Shephard's mental health and ability to carry out his mission than feel any sympathy for him as a character if that were the case.

Regardless, I'd much rather he only appeared in the opening and closing cinematics of the prologue in either case. The airduct scene tugs at all the wrong heart strings.

That kid must be related to Altair.

As the child looks up at the reaper towering over him, he whisperes to himself;
"Have you nothing to teach us?
Or will you lead us all into ruin..."

And as the Reaper looks down on the kid he's dwarfing, he thinks to himself:

"I can teach you many things, boy,
Of the past, and the future. Of life, and of death. 
Let me show you..."
