well peeps...I'm out . Keep the thread nice and cozy ! Don't forget your nighty prayers to Sera aye!
Take care everyone !
I just finished watching the Hellsing Ultimate dub that finally came out(it was amazing) and then I see this. Stop making me have the feels!
I'm not crying, you're crying!
That begs the question, which lady and what happened in the comment section? I'm assuming something not nice at all judging by your reaction.
Also if you dont want to say here, send me a pm.
Nothing really spectacular, just what you'd expect when a bunch of basement-dwelling trogs who have never seen a woman before and think they are funny. She's an old hand at streaming so she wasn't phazed but damn if it didn't make me wish i could strangle people through the internet, Aria style.

Finished Legacy on top of MotA today. Got the same sense of story-wise completion I got with Kallian Tabris, the Warden-Commander of the Grey in Ferelden, who hailed from the great city of Denerim's Alienage.
Bring on DA:I! Bring on Sera!
With the Inquisition, we're back to the boss dating the underlings, and that makes me a little sad. I've learned to try to roleplay past it in the games themselves, but one of the reasons I can't bring myself to write fanfiction, for instance, is that I can't make the PC/underling romance work in a way that doesn't make me grimace.
Moving past the obvious awkwardness of the relationship I mostly find it an annoying limitation now. BioWare romances are with people in your character's squad, comrades in arms. Now Inquisition is branching out to include people you work with but don't fight. There's obvious reasons for that but it frames every romance with exactly the same context.
In SWTOR, the first woman who could be flirted with by female PCs, Lemda Avesta, was kind of a drag.
That's a shame, considering they only bothered to add one for an expansion, but then it isn't exactly surprising either.
I'm also not sure dating your sub-ordinates is a great idea.
This is certainly a point of view with which I'm familiar - I have a friend who just flat out won't do romances because it breaks the immersion for him, but for me it depends on how you define "subordinates."
While it's clear that from a gameplay point of view you're in command in all the DA and ME games, story-wise I'd be hesitant to label all companions as subordinates. There are plenty of times when companions are there because they choose to be, and you have no means of keeping them there other than that your goals align. There are some romance options who I'd definitely class as being a subordinate, some where it's an debatable issue and some who I'd flat out say are not.
Definitely Subordinates:
Ash, Kaidan, Jacob, Kelly, Samantha, Steve
Debatable but still fraternisation within the ranks:
Alistair (technically he's your superior),
Miranda (Again, it's your ship but she ranks higher than you in Cerberus)
Debatable:
Zevran is there because you didn't kill him and he does swear service to you, but he's hardly a warden.
Thane, Jack and Samara, well they are there because the Illusive Man sent you to them, but they aren't really in it for Cerberus's money and they're not a part of Cerberus.
Not Subordinates:
Liara in ME1 is there because you rescue her and because she sees the threat to the galaxy, but she's an advisor and you have no military authority over her, unless you count your SPECTRE status. In ME3 as the Shadow Broker she has a hell of a lot more political clout than you do, and she's there because she chooses to be.
Tali and Garrus are helping Shepard through friendship and the desire to help save the galaxy in the best way they can but have their own positions of power within their respective species' organisations.
Morrigan and Leliana have their own reasons for wanting to help the Warden, but they could just walk away.
All DA2 companions.
Also of note is that depending on how you choose to roleplay Shepard in ME2, you might not accept that (s)he is part of Cerberus at all.
In Inquisition it'll be interesting, as although you're in command, you're really a leader of leaders, so again the question of who is a subordinate is somewhat murky to my mind.
Moooooooooorning Seranite ! (it is morning right?)
wut? Liara flat ? no no no ! say I didnt connect with her 
Cose many luvvvv her !
Well I drooled over Samara but I do love Liara too ! And I certainly didn't connect with Samantha at all... 
As for the rest ? Hum..Ash/Kaidan I hate and want them dead . And I never played dudeshep for jack/Miranda...and Talis was just a sister 
I mean she is like the cutest Keelah bosh'tet combinaison ever !
I feel The same about Tali, and My canon is male.Moooooooooorning Seranite ! (it is morning right?)

One of The best things (for me anyway) of The trilogy is how some characters in The end were like family for My Shep (Joker, Liara, Garrus, Tali and Wrex).
Take Joker out and I'm with ya ! lol I hate him so much...
Edit: And you really feel the loss of the family in ME2 ! Seriously , so happy when you get Garrus ! Shep saying 'GARRUS!'....Ahhh so many feeeels !

I viewed the entire crew as one big messed up family, with Shep and Liara as the two in the middle. with a lot of brothers and sisters. and a couple of 'grand parents'. Also head canon here, but my shep has more than just little blues running around, she's adopted war orphans from most races.
All that while still being a renegade. -nods- I blame those terminator scars, hence my nickname for her, Terminator Shepard. 
To be honest The family feels developed through The games. While I cared about them, it was in ME2 (Though Wrex got less time then The others, since Liara in The end got LOTSB) that the feelings were completely developed. Though I do love The ME2 crew.Take Joker out and I'm with ya ! lol I hate him so much...

why messed up ?
I always though Shep had the best of the best the galaxy could give ya . Just like Shep was the best humanity could give .
None was messed up...well.....nope . Really none !
well unless we talking about messed up belief ? ash/kaidan then...but thats about it .
Well mine didnt have any kids . Roaming the world with the Justicar mean no settling down and no kids wich is fine with me .
Dating your sub-ordinates is fine so long as you don't get caught...
and if you do...

Also, why do you hate Joker
Well..he come off as a jerk . Talk too much for a driver lol and he really pissed me off in ME3 with his lame jokes toward the Asari .
That was unforgivable in my book . There are many way to help your stressed commander , but making lame jokes like that ? no way ! Airlock for ya ! it was insensitive on so many lvl.....argh..
Edit: the funny part , I do love his voice actor Seth Green was in Buffy !

I mean more dysfunctional... I mean can you imagine the family gatherings? They'd be quite insane.
Well..he come off as a jerk . Talk too much for a driver lol and he really pissed me off in ME3 with his lame jokes toward the Asari .

its his coping mechanism, I can't really fault him for it, even if I did shout at him... I apologized later, cause I realized what he had been trying to do.

That was in ME1 ! and coping ? if u cant handle urgent evac...dont take the job .
I mean more dysfunctional... I mean can you imagine the family gatherings? They'd be quite insane.
Still..I dont see the dysfunctional part . I mean seeing wrex , zaeed around the couch playing with guns...totally normal ! A family gathering would be a blast..and well some hole in furniture..but a BLAST! MAYHEMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
That was in ME1 ! and coping ? if u cant handle urgent evac...dont take the job .
Ah, well, -shrugs-
Also, evacing in a ship near an erupting volcano is probably super hazardous even if you are the best damned pilot in the galaxy.

Fair enough. Can you refresh me of What he said and when he said it?That was in ME1 ! and coping ? if u cant handle urgent evac...dont take the job .
Ah, well, -shrugs-

But thats his job . Yelling at shep about the danger is kinda pointless...it isnt like shep pushed the button to wake up the volcano on purpose .
Still..I dont see the dysfunctional part . I mean seeing wrex , zaeed around the couch playing with guns...totally normal ! A family gathering would be a blast..and well some hole in furniture..but a BLAST! MAYHEMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
And this is where we agree to disagree, you see normal, I see dysfunctional, I mean Zaeed and Garrus implanted explosives in that glass fixture, and messed with the coffee maker, and were going to tweak the hot tubs temperature settings....
Still can't decide where my head cannon would end up living though.... I mean she could live on any planet that supports human life after all....
Fair enough. Can you refresh me of What he said and when he said it?
Yeah , he said that the asari probably regret having so many dancers or something along those lines . And we just saw Thessia falls .
But thats his job . Yelling at shep about the danger is kinda pointless...it isnt like shep pushed the button to wake up the volcano on purpose .
again, coping mechanism. humor is also proven to relieve stress...
