I've beaten the game almost 3 times at this point and the small child in the unskippable cutscenes where I'm forced to run slow has given me the following reactions each time:

1st play through: why does shepard care about this one little kid more than the other billions dying?
2nd play through: If I was playing full renegate why the hell would I care about some **** kid who wouldnt leave a ventilation shaft
3rd play through: good god bioware let me skip this, I dont care about this kid, my shepard doesnt care about this kid, you are forcing me to play your idea of shepard in my playthrough. 

I was under the impression Mass effect was supposed to allow players to build their own character, forcing us to care for some little idiot kid who was in a pipe at the beginning of the game serves no purpose other than aggrivation, unless your playing full paragon shep.

I honestly just wanted to know if anyone else out there felt the same.

lol my Shepard totally agrees with ya. he's got the neutral morality thing going on, the end justifying the means and sacrificing the one for the many, meaning he doesn't give a flying turd about the too-stupid-to-come-out-of-the-duct kid. I employ Zero Tolerance towards those who don't want to listen, and if the kid doesn't wanna come out of the duct, I just say "screw you then, I got better things to do".

in ME1 you could skip literally everything with that little command that allowed you to skip normally unskippable cutscenes like the relay approach or docking on the Citadel. couldn't do that anymore in ME2, and certainly not in ME3.

No, a video game did not make me hate real life little children.

I suggest you take a break from video games and think about your life if it did.

Yup. Total immersion breaker for me. My hard-ass lone survivor Shep, a woman who didn't flinch at gunning down a friend or GODDAMN GENOCIDE suddenly gets all weepy, loses her **** with Joker over a joke and starts moping about some snot nosed douchetard she didn't even know?

-100 awesome points, Bioware :(

Depends on how you played your Shepard I guess.

If I played Renegade then yeah, the kid scenes would bug the **** out of me.

I can see what Bioware were trying to do with that scene but considering that I had only known the kid for about 30 seconds, I don't think it had the intended effect.

indeed - in my last play through (i have done the unthinkabel: i played the game again - at least up to the Cerberus-Base Assault) i wanted to toss grenades at this stupid kid (Anderson be damned IMHO!) if i could just avoid those hideously stupid cutscenes i can't even interrupt/opt out of!

greetings LAX
ps: as for small children in RL - well, i don't hate them as such, i just dislike their behaviour (even more as parents today don't seem to be able to keep the little brats/buggers in line and enforce some disciplin...hell my parents would have shouted me into submission if i was constantly wailing, crying, demanding things (not that i didn't do all those sometimes, but not for hours on at a time!), interrupting them, screaming at the top of their lungs etc. - my parents didn't hit me though, which i am thankfull for!) and like them as far away from me as humanly possible (even more as children macking a racket is something you have to endure in germany, there are laws that declare what they do is not noisy in the same way a train or a truck is - you can't use the law on parents that don't manage to keep their brats quiet anymore....) and i will never have any of my own (glad i am single so there is not even a remote possibility ATM that i could become a father (and honestly: i would probably be bad at it, too - i am selfish (not in the extreme, but still), i like my freedom, i don't want to be tied down, i want to spend my money on myself and even discounting all that, i wouldn't want to inflict myself on any children (i have enough additional reasons to those i have listed already))

It is brilliant meta writing. You got hamfisted with that traumatic child caring nonsense so much on purpose. When you meet him the last time, you will hate him so much by that point, you realise he was indeed the true villain all along.

Mass Effect 3's ending is so deep man.

Threads like this make it clear who has and hasn't been around the true obnoxiousness of kids.

Mass effect didn't make you do anything, it was inside you the whole time OP.

YOU CANT HIDE, WHATS INSIDE!

It was the Mass Effect team's way of trying to build emotional resonance in the last of the 3 games. Said style has both succeeded and failed multiple times in the game, the kid being one of the major issues. The ending being a ghostly version of him wasn't helping anything. A lot of the "Nightmare" scenes had the same feeling of "Okay, can we just get this over with now?".

A lot of people asked for a "more humanized Shepard". Be careful what you wish for. This is basically what they got.

Personally, I liked the shallow, bordering on cheesy sci-fi/80s action hero version of Shepard. I am a man of simple pleasures.
