The romance arc isn't entirely about "pulling her out". You could tell her at the end of the romance that you want HER to change you, in turn. lol. I think the line is "I'll **** you up." Shepard: "Here's hoping." It kind of comes full circle. As for the loyalty mission, it's based more on identifying with her survival, and not letting it drag her down. But it's not like she was helpless fighting Cerberus on her own. And needed a new "daddy". She just wanted blow up that facility. It's just catharis. Also, she'd been killing them right and left, just like Shepard does in ME1. Miranda admits as much if when you recruit Jack.

To be fair, just because she's a beast and not helpless on her own, and killing them left and right, makes it seem even more like daddy issues. It's like her daddy issues are just feeding her rage the whole time, because her daddy (Cerberus) mistreated her in her youth, so she becomes self destructive. And yet somehow she still feels special because at least her daddy was paying attention to her more than the other test subjects, even though the attention meant torture and conditioning. And then she goes back to the room where the abuse took place, and she finally confronts her dad and tells him to go to hell (the big asplosion) and she can then begin to move on with her life, after finding Shep!Daddy, and realising that she doesn't have to be tortured in a relationship to feel special.

Sorry lol maybe that went a bit far and seems a bit of a reach, but I think being primed for it by all the other daddy issues didn't help

Eh I always have some quibbles with certain design direction for movies and video games, but for the most part, unless it's an egregious misstep or just flat out ridiculous I don't make a big deal about it. Now, if femShep's armor had exposed midriff, then it'd be a different story.

Wanting the armor to be more sexy is the same kind of b.s. horny nerds talk about when discussing blueprint differences for each variation of Tali's thong. It's best left for the more fringe sci-fi..umm.. virgins [i.e. virgins who out****** other virgins]. At a certain point, you just gotta get laid.

Tali: She would have behaved more like Legion if you choose the Geth over the Quarians, I personally thought both of their reactions were off for the situation. Suicide only if she was romanced.

TIM: A little less arbitrarily evil in ME3 please. Having him go totally rogue from the alliance from the get-go seemed way to implausible, especially if he wasn't supposed to already be indoctrinated.

Liara: I kind of was put off by her sudden personality change going ME1 to 2, I mean, Asari live for 1000 years, I would have expected them to mature slower if anything. I guess it would have been nice to see a just a little more of the naive Liara personality from ME1 in ME2 and 3.

Shepard: Could have been given more options to show a little more knowledge about basic codex stuff. Like why the genophage is no first contact war, and why the Quarians are forced to live in ships. This is basic galactic history stuff, and humanity's first galactic policeman has a first grader's grasp on the state of the galaxy.

I can't imagine that Tali would be a tolerable character after the Rannoch arc if she happens to survive the ordeal after witnessing the extinction of her species, considering how emotional this character is written. I can just see her in the corner of Shepard's apartment, drinking herself to death during the party if you do the DLC afterwards.

I would also make more mention of it having more Relay connection in the map than any other sector. The only other relay with more connections is WIDOW, which is stated to have dozens a couple of times. essentially you control Omega, you control the terminus region.

To be fair, wasn't that the whole premise of Cerberus' invasion during the Omega DLC? This pretty much informed an entire DLC episode...

Also could you elaborate on your first paragraph about the Reapers' connection to Omega? I didn't quite follow it and it sounds interesting

In this case, the daddy issues seem to be pretty equal opportunity.  Everyone had them, male or female.

Hmm that's true at least guys had them too, but correct me if I'm wrong but from what I remember we've got:

Ashley, Tali, Miranda, Jack on the female side vs Jacob and Grunt on the male side

[Yougotcarved1]

Hmmmmm yeah I guess that makes sense. I suppose I was already primed and laughing at the numerous daddy issues already present, so when Jack turned up I was almost looking for a daddy issue lol

I don't recall Grunt having any daddy issues. If anything, his issue was one of identity, since he is an amalgam of different warlords grown in a tube, rather than one born into a clan. The stuff with Okeer doesn't really seem to weigh on his mind at all.

I think half of the people at this site are in our 20s and 30s. *Gasp* Possibly even with our own virgin offspring. I don't think it's necessarily a bunch of undersexed teens. Horny males though, sure. Big deal.

Yeah but that argument applies equally to you saying anyone who doesn't want oversexed armour is just a massive dork. My point was that it's just as bad going completely realistic to cater to nerds as it is to go completely oversexed to cater for horny nerds

[KaiserShep]

I found his indifference toward Okeer refreshing. He's like a giant aloof cat turtle dinosaur thing.

[Hjklop]

Does Thane count, seeing as how he has some issues being a dad?

[KaiserShep]

Well, you do deal with Kolyat's daddy issues once you do his loyalty mission.

As for the rest. She thought she was tougher for surviving. Not for being singled out. She didn't know she was a "special" until you got to the facility. She didn't know about all of the experiments on other kids, and when she found out, she didn't want to believe it at first. She didn't know anything. She was just trapped in a room most of the time.

I think it's the opposite. She DOES think she's s[ecial, until she finds out that the other kids actually had it worse than she did, and that she was the end of the experiments, no the beginning. 

To answer the question though, I would have had Kaidan in ME1 at least make a passing interest at Mshep, considering he talks about being attracted to Liara, Femshep, and EDI too...then all of a sudden it's like, "BTW. I just figured out I like you...so wanna be my bf?"

[KaiserShep]

Yeah that trajectory thread was certainly a nerdlinger's demolition derby.

If it makes you feel better, I called everyone a dork. Including myself. But yeah, some can be massive dorks.

It's no different than those threads awhile back where people were debating what kind of trajectory Shepard's body would need to be in order actually remain intact, not burn up, and be usable for the Lazarus project. Same thing. All I can say to any of that stuff is, try to have more fun.

Haha. I dunno I don't find it that fun going like "MAAAAN look at Ashley's boob shaped armour! I'm having a whale of a time over here!". It doesn't really add anything. But realism in sci-fi is always an important consideration, the Shepard's body trajectory thing is a bit far though lol

[Yougotcarved1]

Haha my daddy issues quest is partly tongue in cheek, to be fair it never bothered me much when I was actually playing it.

I just love that we can now link The Catalyst to Leviathan daddy issues

I think the word "special" has it's own connotations. She just thinks she's tougher. That only she survived, they didn't (on a sidenote, the same mistake is made by Sole Survivor Shep and Toombs. Toombs ended up suffering more and "you got away with a scary reputation"). My main beef here though is just painting it all as daddy issues. I think at least half of the ME2 quests offered better stories than that. It makes the whole game sound so  ridiculous.

Toombs is probably my favorite character in the series (I have no idea why, his story just seems so..tragic). And my main shep is spacer/ss. Which again brings up another point. You can question Miranda/TIM/Cerberus about most everything they've done EXCEPT for Akuze? Personally, I would have offered Toombs a spot on the Squad , considering he single handedly was able to take out four "ex-Alliance" scientists (who all were connected to Akuzw, which was a Cerberus op...so the Alliance caused Akuze?...anyway) he defintely deserves  it more than Lara/Tali as a combat option and possibly more than Ashley as well.
