No, no, no ... you got me wrong and I got you wrong too.

I'd say: ME3 could have been better with more time and money to develop. I think a year more and everything were fine. However, it's not BWs decision how long they take time to do things - it's EA's decision.

Also keep in mind at some point the (original) writers claimed to have created the full story for all three parts at the beginning, not in detail, but in general. However, a lot of things got dumped over the course of development, like the original dark energy plot, the real purpose of the Reapers and Shepard's slow indoctrination process.

I think there's one thing we can blame BW for: the policy regarding their writers. Kicking the original lead writer (or making his job as hard as possible so he quit) was one mistake. Same for Ashley's an Thane's writer Chris L'Etoile. I can't get rid of the idea it all was Mac Walters fault. I can't prove it, but it does feel like that. If anyone can give me proof for that feeling, feel welcome.

Well, whatever.

I wish I could do a reboot and develop the story. But of course that's megalomaniac thinking ^^

I don't know about the people who saved her, but in my playthroughs, because dead people can't talk lol.

Mac walters may have been writing but it is Casey Hudson that has the final say.

So despite many Bioware claims they were very ambitious with ME trilogy, they're only succeded to fool us and themselves.


So that's one of the reasons why there's a unequal content for squadmates.
That's why many plot elements were dropped and forgotten.

Lack of ambitious and poor choices on Bioware.

Not EA, Bioware.


Unequal content is similar to a marketing decision. Equal content for all squadmates is a twisted idea of what is fair and not fair because it is out of context.

I'm thinking Bioware could make a mint off ME3 just by having a "conversation" DLC that adds more squadmate conversations and banter throughout the Normandy. Toss in 2-3 Shepard conversations per and people would line up for it.

 I think a bit more appropriate question is: Why didn't Ashley get as much time as Kaidan?

But the real question is this: Why didn't both Kaidan and Ashley get more time

Really, why does it only applies to Kaidan getting more time than Ashley? They both should have gotten more. Just because Kaidan got more than Ashley it means he got enough? Why does it feels like a competition between the two?



*sigh* To answer your question OP (that I'm sure many others already did, but Whatever) Kaidan got more to because Kaidan is bi now, and he needs to fill the role of LI for both genders. Was not done nearly enough as it should have been (Same goes for pretty much every LI, I know). Aside from that he got the minimum as to have at least an appropiate romance, even if barely getting out of it. 

Ash, unfourtenatly, didn't get the minimum. She got less, as goes for every ME2 LI. Ashley's writer left. From what I understand, the writers didn't know what to do with her (and unfourtenatly, it shows). They just added her there, gave her some obvious dialogue about her family and Cerberus so people will be satisfied, and that's it. Compleltey screwed her and her fans. They didn't give her enough dialogues which BioWare obviously knew they should have put (the talk about virmire and the after-death in the sex scene. Both of the dialogues never showed up). Maybe the writers didn't want too much deep and great female human character to be part of the squad. Better girls that don't talk. The great female human characters that aren't part of the squad and will get too little time so you will only see buttshots or nipples from them anyway so there nothing to worry about THEM getting deep...



Sorry, getting of track. Anyway, Ashley didn't get the time she deserves becasue of marketing, lack of careness for female human characters, lack of real knowlage about this amazing character aside from family issues.

@HagarIshay I agree with most of your assertions except I did ultimately feel satisfied, albeit barely, with ashs romance arc and i think she got juuuust enough time but then the point is also that that really should not have been biowares goal-to just get by, to have no inspiration or ambition. especially concerning such a major character.....and yeas ash is an amazing character
