But you do want her to love you, don't you?

 

Does love involve 100% agreement on everything? I could never fall in love with a person who says that is the case.

[Cainhurst Crow]

It's why I say gunning down folks indiscriminantly is a inherently dumb pracitce. You don't know whose a solider on leave so they don't go insane on the battlefield and hinder the mission, or whose a engineer visiting some family memebers before they design a new type of ship to help combat the reapers more effectively, or a favorable business person commiting their vast fortune and resources to cutting down the costs of producing arms and amror, and whose just dodging the war and not contributing to anything.

 

Cerberus never asked questions of who did what or who was useful. They just opened fire, killing all sorts of valuable personel just based on circumstantial single glance observation.

WHAT THE **** IS WRONG WITH HER HAND!?

 

 

Horrible pixels and graphic crap.

[Cainhurst Crow]

She hasn't washed it since she was up to the elbows in Shepard's guts.

 

 

Horrible pixels and graphic crap.

She looks like she has sausage fingers. Horrible, horrible kielbasa fingers.

[MassivelyEffective0730]

Somehow I don't think pre-emptively exterminating your own populace to prevent them from eventually (months?) being huskified would go over too well with your subordinates, Massively. Holy ****.

 

That's fine with me. I'll just tell them to have a good war with the Reapers.

 

As I've said before, the one thing this war hinges on, even more than the Crucible, is me. My Shepard. Without him, there's zero chance of victory. I know you don't agree with it, but the game tends to support my admittedly Davidian view. They have their choice. My way or the highway. I'm petty enough to take Miranda and run, despite what I said earlier. And if they try to stop me, I'm petty enough to laugh as they face hell alone.

Yep. Have you seen Male Shepards hands? Or Conrad Verner's? They're pretty gnarly too.

Uh huh. And I'm sure she'd be eager to accompany you.

I think we're done here.

It's only in her red dress guise, her normal fingers are ok:

It was sort of a running BioWare problem, at least with the former engine.

 

 

I thought Isabella wore gloves until I looked real hard.

Then I'd be forced to fight for Miranda's sake. Ok. We'll still play by my own rules. Unless Miranda also has me not do what I need to do to win. Which is an interesting story ideal. Miranda's influence would be a lot like a companion's influence to the Doctor. You know what happens to him when he goes to long without Rose or Donna or Amy.

 

Either become a god and lose my love (in Miranda and Rose's case), or stay fettered to humanity and the rules (at least the 'moral' ones) for the sake of it. That is a very tough decision for me to choose from. The only thing I'd want more than my love is godhood, and vice versa.

And covered.

[SporkFu]

Isn't there a conversation between Liara and Glyph at one point, where he tells her a planet's entire population killed themselves to avoid being reaperfied, or maybe it was sacrificing all their children to appease the reapers... and in doing so they actually made the reapers' job easier? Sounds to me that glassing planets, colonies, populations isn't a great way to fight the reapers.

 

Didn't work for the protheans anyway.

Eh, everyone's fingers look bad. It's a recycled model that's closed in.

[CronoDragoon]

Not that I agree with Massively, but the Protheans sacrificed worlds by abandoning them to be conquered by the Reapers, which led to their entire population being indoctrinated/huskified and used to replenish Reaper ranks. So it's not the same thing as killing the population outright to prevent this.

 

...Just saying.

[sH0tgUn jUliA]

Damn I love BSN! It's threads like this that get me through my morning coffee. They're better than the comics.

[von uber]

And covered.

 

Quite. I wonder if it is a problem with the shader or shadows. I notice I sometimes get a weird jagging effect on textures if there are shadows:

I'd like to prevent that.

 

And one little shred of humanity in me: Would it not be better to painlessly annihilate my own people than leave them to suffer in the hands of the Reapers?

Good point. Bad idea either way.

Uhhh....no. It's not your decision to make, nor should it be, ever.

No, those are paragon scars. The renegade scars show up as glowing red. Shepard is still cracking up after Lazarus.

Earth got hit the hardest, and plenty of people are still alive on it by the time the war is over. Would it have been better to kill all of them just in case they became indoctrinated, knowing that you win anyway without doing this?

 

This is the problem with arguments from necessity. They are only justified when it's too late.

Only when the world is falling, beyond salvation, beyond rescue. Not "strip-them-of-technicians-and-glass-them-months-in-advance." The whole goal is to build the Crucible, and see that there is a surviving population afterwards.

Miracle of Palaven is acceptable. A Scorched Earth "pruning" of the human race is not.

I'd say, given an estimate based on nothing off the top of my head, for every 1 non-combat role, you need 15 combat personel to join in order to keep up a viable fighting force

Where did you come up with that number?

[MassivelyEffective0730]

Uhhh....no. It's not your decision to make, nor should it be, ever.

 

Why shouldn't it be? I disagree with the argument of 'absolute power corrupts absolutely'. I also disagree with the notion that one person can have too much power.

[von uber]

Well you can always wade through this I guess.
