I like doing that kind of role playing, where the character has ideas and beliefs that shape their behavior and it's all logical when you see the person's perspective.
Does anyone here every do role playing like that?
That is pretty much the ONLY kind of role playing I do. It has meant that every one of my Shepards has been unique in their decision making, even if they made the exact same decisions at all the major turns.
For me, it even affects how some of them go about combat at times.
It's fun to use someone else's brain for a few hours.
Yep, this is how I play my Shepards. I set up their character from their backstories, and then see if the game changes their convictions at all. My first renegade was a character who would have thought the 1st message Thane told Kolyat, "Be loyal to your friends, and dangerous to your enemies." dead on. If you were an ally, he was there for you, all the way to the wall, if need be. If you weren't, at best your were expendable cannon-fodder. At worst, you were meat. He didn't help Liara become Shadow Broker because she bailed on him, and they were never 'friends' as such in ME1. He romanced Ash in ME1, but their confrontation on Horizon made him feel like she betrayed him. So when she came back in ME3, he gave her the cold shoulder, hard. When Ash turned on Udina, they reconciled, to a degree. But he never trusted her.
So yeah, I don't play Paragon just to be Paragon, or Renegade just to be red. It's more an extension of their personality and how I see them as people.
I couldn't forgive Ashley for how she treats Shepard. Her friendship to Shepard was put to the test and she failed horribly. No gratitude for saving Horizon; nothing but scolding for working with Cerberus; refusal to even consider joining the crew if you bother asking; no visit on earth in the 6 months of detention; and then a prerquisite of hospital visits, gifts, and paragon responses just to start trusting you again. **** her.
Shepard's other friends gave Shepard a chance. Tali, Garrus, Chakwas, and Joker all trusted Shepard unless Shepard gave them real reason otherwise. Liara also did but considering her involvement in Lazarus she felt she owed Shepard the benefit of the doubt. Wrex... seemed oblivious to everything.
What do you mean "Liara bailed" on Shepard? You are aware of how she put her life on the line to save Shepard's body from the Collectors. That kind of makes up for skipping the suicide mission, and Shepard didn't push her very hard to join (because of LotSB).
I don't agree with her obsession over hunting the Shadow Broker, but I can understand it. In a way, she couldn't join Shepard because she had to avenge Shepard. Strange I know. And then after LotSB she can't join because it isn't where she'd be most useful. Garrus, Joker, etc. wouldn't join Shepard either if they had something on Liara's scale holding them back either I'm sure. Tali was the only one who did and she doesn't join the crew until after her mission is done.
You understand Liara's motives if you follow them through LotSB, sure. But my Renegade didn't know he had a reason to hate the Shadow Broker. He never got the dialogue about her handing his body over to Cerberus and fighting the SB to do so. So no, he didn't know what she did. As far as he knew, she was using her obsession as a lame excuse to stay comfortable on Ilium. Now I headcanoned he learned the truth later. And the two reconciled in ME3. But he didn't know until much later all she'd given up for him.
Did you skip the terminal hacking quests or make the mistake of clicking "Liara's needs" in the dialogue tree after they were completed; the one time in the series that an investigate option closes investigate dialogue for an unknown reason?
I think he skipped the terminal hacking. Or at least didn't return afterward, because he got sucked off world for the Collector Ship Quest and didn't go back to Illium after.
