Oh, on the topic of women in Mass Effect:
Traynor - a dog person. I hate dogs. No go.
Her neuroticism and shyness is very offputting. I'd wish I had a chance to instill some actual discipline and confidence. It's rather annoying. Not a fan.
Jack - very cool to have as a friend. I wouldn't risk my friendship with her by taking it one step further - for the sake of self preservation.
Unattractive to me. Her personality is too unstable, and she has too much of a moral guide (believe it or not).
Tali - can't accomplish anything without Shepard's help. And even with Shepard's help always manages to let most of her squad (and at the end her species if you don't intervene) die. Wanted to wipe out an entire sentient species.
"Shepard, you caaaaannn't let my people die for the Gettttthhhh!"
She's a useful engineer. Beyond that, she's a pathetic bug.
Ashley - likes her job and promotion more than Shepard. Hates aliens whom Shepard cavorts with. Undergoes plastic surgeries. Irreconciliable differences.
Way too much of a moral absolutionist. I can't stand her. Otherwise yeah, same issues. It's not that I dislike her questioning Shepard. It's more that she comes off as a person unwilling to accept things she doesn't like.
Kasumi - awesome in every way possible. Particularly good sense of humor. But she's just not into Shepard. Ah well. Still an awesome friend to have.
It's fine, I'm not much into her either. She's a very useful talent to have.
Miranda - awesome in every way possible except she has no sense of humor. Needs to lighten up. Perfect woman for people who are serious all the time. I can be very serious, but not all the time.
She has a sardonic, dry sense of humor. It's very black, very dark, but it's there. We may not see absolutely eye-to-eye on every possible detail, but we understand our philosophies. We're both unfettered: to us, victory/goals are the only thing that matter. We achieve them all the same. Perfect for my Shepard.
Samara - perfect for bad boys and girls who like to be bent over and punished. Except the punishment here is a swift death. Thanks, but no thanks. I know I've been bad but I want to live.
I admire how she's fettered to a moral code that follows a blue and orange morality system. She's perfectly fine doing what she needs to do to get the job done. The only limiting factor is her code's rigidity, though it's not really easy to know what the limitations to her code are, since it definitely does not seem to be based on standard morality.
Liara - awesome in every way possible. But unlike Kasumi is so extremely loyal to Shepard that even death cannot shake her devotion. Also has IMO the best body among ME women.
Not awesome. Obnoxious and annoying. Her loyalty is not reciprocated. In fact, it's very creepy. I never saw her as more than the Asari who stayed on the ship long past the point of her usefulness in the first game. I see her again in the second game, and she treats it like a big deal, while my Shepard is internally asking himself "who were you again, and why should I care?"
Otherwise, I'd simply say, "go back to Thessia, the grown-ups are working".
