Assuming this isn't a fake, I'm actually really disappointed Bioware didn't have the balls to include this scene. I give them all the props in the world for finally putting in the same sex romances we know they always wanted to include in the previous games, and of course they were going to get some backlash for it. lets not kid each other, the vast majority of people who are against same sex relationships aren't against them because they think its gross (though some are), their against it because their holly book tells them its wrong. But seeing as most people nowadays have enough common sense to see that in this day and age, thats not the case, props to Bioware for putting them in.
On the flip side, 2 steps forward and 1 step back Bioware for deleting this scene. In ME1 Ashley was portrayed as religious and whilst Sheppard has a choice in ME1, as an Athiest myself, sheppard seems to come across as your average fence sitting agnostic (especially in ME2 and 3 were you don't have a choice) as in he/she doesn't have any religious beliefs but isn't against the possibility that there is a god and an afterlife. Ashely can express her beliefs in ME1 and there is very little backlash, Thane was deeply religious and was one of the most popular characters in ME2, even Mordin mentions turning to god at some point in his life and everyone loves Mordin.
Hypothetically speaking, even if Sheppard was a full on Athiest, would it really matter ?.Our hero can now be male or female, any human race or sexual orientation they like, but when it comes to religious beliefs they either have to believe or at most be on the fence (for 2 out of 3 games at least) ?.
Well, I don't know that balls (or lack thereof) had anything to do with it not being included. Seriously. I'm a full-on atheist and I have no problem with the conversation. He didn't confirm what Ashley hoped he would but he also wasn't a dick about it (how could you be a dick to a woman that looks like that?). I found the constant distrust Ash kept showing to Shepard far more irritating (though understandable) than this conversation. I LIKED this conversation, as a matter of fact. It was well done. THAT is why it was cut, because it was good and solid and Bioware was all about simple, brainless, moronic, and illogical in this here baby.
Retour en haut
They kept crappy, pointless, worth as much as war assets it give, Allers character and cut as possible Ash character.. With this scene I would be fullfill with her development but in current state i liked her in ME3 only because I really loved her character in ME1.
