I wouldn't say that. I tend to have a warm relationship to those I command. It's the best way to earn their trust, and trust is one of the most essential things as a soldier.

You know, it's odd, but I had heard that the storyline in SW:TOR was the best part of it.  And as for DA 2, I've yet to finish either DA: O or DA 2, so I can't comment from experience yet.

I'm in the odd position of having played DA2 (it was on sale) but not DA:Origins. As such I was probably less disappointed than most by DA2, because I had no basis for comparison. The combat was fun and fast paced. The story was OK, a bit lacking in epic grandeur I suppose, but that game's real problem was its horribly recycled environments.

Identical warehouses. Identical cave systems, with a little bit of variety introduced by blocking off some areas with a crudely pasted in stone door, (with a tiny, unintenional gap you could see around). Dull, mud-coloured city scapes. Very claustrophobic, and not in an intentional, appropriate way. 

Huh, the recycled environments sound familiar.  Wasn't that one of the biggest complaints about ME1?  And that didn't seem to stop it from being awesome now, did it?

Because ME1 had a lot of saving graces. DA 2 really didn't.

Stone.  Cold.



I really shouldn't tease people who are trained with firearms.

Don't worry. I'd never misuse my training for my own personal goals! 

...Or would I?

Of course, you must always remember what Sun Tzu said, "Therefore soldiers must be treated in the first instance with humanity, but kept under control by means of iron discipline.  This is a certain road to victory."  Trust and friendship is important, but don't let that stop you from doing your job.  Huh, I was just reminded of the Destroy ending.

I was going to add that, then I reminded myself soldiers combat who they are told to.  And I might well be wanted by the Danish for crimes against bacon.

Of course. Discipline and loyalty are valued much higher than friendship and trust. Then again, one really can't live without the other. Trust and friendship almost guarantee loyalty. However, the only way of gaining discipline is by making very clear who's in command. 

I guess that's why I identify myself more with renegade characters than paragons. Renegades seem more like real soldiers to me than paragons.

Crimes against bacon are punishable by death in Denmark!

Regenades are soldiers.

Paragons are guidence councillers.

[Rifneno]

Agreed, any good soldier would shoot a friend in the back for trying to undo a genocide.

In real life, you'd probably have to go more renegade. It gets stuff done, and fast.

@Rif Definitely not renegade all the time though.

We open gifts on the 25th in the UK. Silly continental Europeans!

Huh. Well, I know for certain that danes, germans, swedes, norwegians and dutch do it on the 24th!

We do it all year long

Cheap joke, but it felt good.

Ha! Good one!

What's what she said.  For the fifth time that night.

Oh yeah.

All right, simmer down, you!

That's what she said!

Okay I'm done.

Good, 'cause that one really wasn't the greatest. 

I hope for his sake that that's not what she said too.

I love crab cakes! Merry Xmas to you


Shepard: "... and I want Krogan support, and Turian fleet, Geth and Quarians to get along, and IT DLC!!"
Santa Wrex: "anything else?"

Shepard:
Paragon: "and a model Enterprise-D for my cabin!!!"
Renegade: "Booze, lots of it!"
Neutral: "wait, why am I on your lap?"

 Just continuing with episodic fanfic. Open for suggestions! 

ALTERNATE ENDING - PART 3

 A muzzle flashes in the distance and a bullet passes through Harbinger’s thrall’s head instantly killing it. More guns fire off their bullets as silhouettes appear in the darkness. A squad of soldiers moves forward towards the group of husks and kill dispatch them with deadly precision. As the soldiers start to spread out of their formation, one of the soldiers notices Shepard’s form lying in the rubble.

Soldier: “We got a live one here!!!”

 As soldier picks his way through the rubble to Shepard, the others provide cover for their comrade. As Shepard loses consciousness from his injuries, the last thing he remembers is the soldier yelling for medics as the world turned black…

TO BE CONTINUED…

Here are the links for PART 1 and PART 2

A good soldier would do what benefits his/her people most, be it to shoot a friend in the back or something else entirely. If Command tells you so, you do it.

Definately!  Especially if it means betraying an ally!

Yep, collateral damage is a term that command really loves. 

Top again!
