As much as I love Mass Effect 2 in all of its aspects, I couldn't help but notice one small detail in relation to the character development... The daddy issues, oh good grief, the daddy issues!

Just like the TV show Lost, there seems to be hardly a character that doesn't have this particular psychological ailment. Kelly has her work cut out for her in the therapy department.

Tali's father was distant, and then he dies.
Miranda's father was evil.
Grunt doesn't have a true father, but he called his creator such and you can't exactly call their relationship healthy.
Jacob's father was a megalomaniacal jerk.
Garrus mentioned in ME1 about a strained relationship with his dad.
Thane made no mention of his parents. However, he was instead responsible for Kolyat's daddy issues.
Samara's issues with Morinth could similarly be classified as daddy issues, depending on the specifics of Morinth's parentage.
Legion is a robot, and thus has no father. Still, he is Geth, and his biggest conflict is with his 'fathers', the Quarians.

Next thing we'll find out is that Mordin has an illegitimate son that he shunned for not being a super-genius, Zaeed has a bounty huntress daughter that is actively trying to kill him and TIM actually knew about Jack's experiments and volunteered her himself, because he is actually... her father!

No this is accurate.  Almost all of the missions involve family and to a further extent, trust.  The whole game is about trust from Cerberus down to your crew.

that was kind of the point, wasn't it?

[Barker673]

And quoting an episode of Lost, or at least the title.



All the best cowboys have daddy issues.

[DeadlyParasite]

No, that other guy is correct. You really did try to pull as much out everything as possible. Only the Thane, Miranda, Tali, and Jacob storylines related to fathers. Garrus mentioning something shady about his once the entire game is just scraping for evidence.

People normally trust their family more than anything in the world so it makes sense for all of them to have loyalty issues.  Solving these issues helps to reaffirm their faith in the world and by extension, you.  Garrus was betrayed by a man he had come to depend on but Shepard was there for him and helped him come to grips with it.  All of these characters were abused by the world in a sense and become their own family, the Normandy.

What about Liara's mom in #1? lol



and shepard has a mother if you pick Spacer role. she just doesnt appear but is mentioned on the news.

[TallDarkandSnarky]

Hell, even with Thane, Miranda, Tali and Jacob only Miranda remains hung up about it.

exactly. the plot centers around facing suicidal odds together. having the trust of the people at Shepard's back is imperative.

[KainrycKarr]

Ok.

[DK_DOOM]

That is an awesome topic at hand if there ever was one.

[Jigero]

Your Forgetting Liara she never knew her Asari "Father"

Also Wrex was almost killed by his father and then killed his father.

Ashley's father was a royal **** up in the alliance and she was paying for it.

The conspiracy deepens.

Apparently in the 22nd century daddy issues are rampant?

Just look outside today if you want to see daddy issues... by the 22nd century, daddy issues have become a time honoured galactic tradition.

[OldMan91]

Wait, people have parents? And they may have issues with them?



That's news to me.

[cyvaris]

I see Mordin's assistant in his loyalty mission as an adopted son, MORE DADDY ISSUES!

[Deku Scrub]

And I was an Earthborn Shep, so....

[Badpie]

Also, don't forget about Kaidan and his implied strained relationship with his father. "He was proud of me....eventually."



Pretty much everyone in the Mass Effect world has daddy issues.

[hawat333]

I can't help but notice you actually do have daddy issues.

That's why you imagine psychological symptoms where there aren't. Hee-hee.

Well, even our own Engineers have some kind of daddy-issues, mentioning " Daddy-Bags! "

The prescence of the Father is a constant in our lives and the spirit is omni-present.

[Schneidend]

Even Shepard is not immune. Shep's father is dead in all of the backgrounds, if I recall correctly.
