 I don't know about anyone else, but i'm really hoping Jacob, Miranda, and Subject Zero are more interesting then Kaiden and Ashley were.

I found Kaiden to be really boring and he never seemed to have any emphasis in his voice; as for Ashley, i don't think she was a zealot or a bigot, i understood the point she was trying to make, but i thought the conversations with her were kinda bleh (also, her romance scene annoyed me because of bad military jokes....)

Any opinions or comments?

Hey! classic poetry references in sci-fi are brilliant!



Kaiden has an interesting backstory, poor execution. Ashley had some pretty good moments, though.

in all honesty, i think it was bad to put the relgious person and the "out for ourselves" person into one character, gave people to many excuses to come up with all kinds of bad mouthing; but it really was that stupid "Drop and give me 20" line in the Romance scene that made me not want to have anything to do with her

Except they kinda are a single character in a certain sense - in ME, these are traits sort of bound up in a certain sort of philosophy, one which ties back to the early days of human galactic exploration.  Her family's history has a big impact on her, and one can only assume religion is a part of that.

Yep, I didn't find either character boring, although I never wanted to romance Ash.

You can charm her into thinking that her thinking of aliens is wrong, though.

I doubt these new characters will be very interesting...i do not think they have writers that can create interesting characters.

Well then you are in the minority, and also in the wrong place.

It seems that the humans are going to be much better in ME2 simply because I think people are going to have actual reactions to them instead of a lot of just plain indifference like in ME1.

hated kaiden. But Ashley was great. She delivered a couple bad lines, but other than that, I thought the awkwardness between my shep and her was hilarious.

I agree, Ashley and Kaiden were duds.

Luckily we have 4 human squad members this time round, there is a lot of room for diversity.

Maybe i've missed something, but i've only seen 3.

I am really looking forward to working with Jacob and listening his legendary one liners. So far he seems like Shepard's wise cracking wingman.

Ok, do you get this DLC with the collectors edition a la Shale or is it paid DLC?

all day-1 dlc is free, so like shale, you probably get him as soon as you use the cerberus card

Truth here. Its an incentive to buy the game new instead of borrowing it from your buddy.

ouch but im thinking i am in the right place or was it specified that we were to say i think/hope they will be interesting in this topic?*i bet your assuming so many things that could very well turn out to be wrong about me*

I hope they can grab some new talented writers.

Bioware has talented writers. Karpyshan and Gaider are only two of them. Their most recent games have had some of the best story I have ever seen in a game. Both games were full of deep and interesting characters, and I expect ME2 to be no different.

Name ten better.  Seriously, go ahead.  I'll ignore the fact, for now, that this is an inherently subjective question, but I'm curious.
