It correctly guessed Jack for me. I was stunned.

Yeah, I play with this thing every so often.  I had to stop and ponder when it asked if Saren was into rock music.  The image of him playing air guitar to some Motley Crue is somewhat amusing.

You said "Yes" right? 

It easily got Jack for me too.

I wonder what kind of music Jack would like...I think there's a good chance she'd like mellower music than people would first assume.

The rotten thing figured out I was Sovereign in 11 moves, then VGER in 20, but then I shafted it as soon as I became The Count of Monte Christo

And it only got Sebastain Haff after 50 questions...

It is not so smart heh heh heh...

Oh, I'm pretty sure you can't read between the lines when Tali says she's not trusted anyone enough to do anything intimate. Virginal does not always meen shy and retiring though. I read Tali's sudden attack of assertiveness (demonstrated in the now-legendary "Quarian Pounce Maneuver") is a physical affirmation of her confidence that Shepard is 'the one' for her; she's putting aside all her natural fears and worries because he has accepted her, despite being fragile, despite being alien, she's also a woman and he sees that before the mask. Also there may well be a touch of wanting to live up to expectations... we're not beyond acting a little out of character to impress someone, aliens are probably no different. Shepard's experienced, she isn't, and I'm positive that as a woman, part of her will want to impress, to measure up. Basically, she wants it, and knowing he does too... the red rag don't need waving at the bull anymore to get it to charge

As for Jack, it's reversed. She is suddenly vulnerable because someone harbours those feelings for her. Any experience and assertion dissolves as Shepard initiates intimacy with her; because it's genuine, she's unsure, so she has a touch of the rabbit-in-the-headlights about it all. She lets him sweep her up, and I suppose in a way that makes it even better for Jack... it makes her feel like a 'real' woman; it allows her to feel normal. There's no need for pretence either; she doesn't have to hide her traumas under bravado (sexual violence does all kinds of damage to women - and men for that matter - that often takes a lot of mask-wearing to cover or function through in regards to intimacy) Jack is just being a woman - a truly naked one. It's scary and wonderful and the end result is... well... a sense she really can be free of all her emotional fetters with a man.

Shepard not only saves galaxies, but he's pretty good with hearts too

I feel bad for Miranda... she opted for a probably very satisfying physically but nowhere near as soulful sport-**** on the engine room floor. She got the cheap seats in comparison to Jack and Tali

Actually, just going back to Tali for a second (and almost certainly incinerating the PG-13 rated nature of forums in general), I'm forced to wonder not only what alien skin feels like, but also scents and tastes. Human women have enough paranoia about things like that, Tali must seriously be going through the doubt-rollercoaster over that one - do I smell or taste or feel revolting to him? And no, I'm not just talking about... let's just say oral intimacy. That has to be one of the biggest psychological barriers in hypothetical sapient inter-species relationships; you might look pleasing to the eyes, but will something else conspire to screw up your already difficult relationship?

Enquiring adult minds ponder these things, Bioware. We're not just sickos, honest :innocent:

Hmm something to ponder over.  Very insightful Mondo thank you. Men have many misgivings as well on their first encounters although some of us are better at hiding our trepidations than others.  I would say Jack definitely has a leg up on Tali as she isn't stuck in a suit so hygiene would be much easier.  
Jack's story was written bigger than life, yet you can see these barriers that she keeps between her self and the world in everyday people.  Fears of intimacy and trust issues are things many of us can empathize with.  Mayhap it's someone that we know or it could even be one of us.  One of the pesky things of the human condition and being human is something not one of us can ever escape.

Figures it wouldn't get one of the most classic BA characters.  Saw the movie, assumed the novel would be even better, and wasn't disappointed when i read it.  

Edit:  Hm, maybe it bases it partly on what characters people are picking, cause I tried Count of Monte Cristo and it got it on the first guess before 20.

Hah yeah, I too got some good satisfaction from the times I managed to bamboozle it. Sadly, having studied probability way back when means that I'm not all that mystified by its success rate, but it's fun all the same.

It definitely isn't familiar with Jack Vance novels.

Update on retexture work haven't got as far as I would like but I got busy the last few days.





I have also started working on the head Made the scars a little sharper but thats about it and yet to be screen shot worthy

Tattoos look really sharper now! I'm not expert, so I can't say if those sharp edges are more realistic this way or not.

Oh, I also wanted to write that I really enjoyed reading Bobby and Mondo's mini shopping fan fictions!

[xDarkicex]

I would bank on that they are more realistic, my tattoos don't look blurry in RL they look sharp crisp and clean.

It appears also it was unfamiliar with the movie Bound... that's two new characters introduced to it

[royceclemens]

Four. It's not familiar with Elmore Leonard, either. Chili Palmer and Raylan Givens FTW.



And after listening to those ripped audio files from a few pages back, I must retract my statements per Liz Sroka as the best VA in the game. So save for the loyalty mission, Jack has the best of everything.

has anybody shooped this image, it has potential for a meme.

I'm surprised this hasn't caught on.

And what part of the game is that from, anyway?

[Booglarize]

So, as a result of general boredom and having too much free time on my hands, I've decided to replay Baldur's Gate II yet again... this time, as Jack. Or rather, as close to Jack as I can get. Importing a portrait of her was easy enough, but I'm also working on a custom soundset built out of her audio files from ME2 - the latter's still a work in progress.



It's quite intriguing to play that game from the perspective of "What would Jack do?". Needless to say, it does deviate quite a bit from my usual Neutral-Good approach...

Anomen's a dead man.

That is all.  

[royceclemens]

All I ask is that one does not post spoilers. I haven't played it yet and next payday I'm getting the four-in-one BG boxset from amazon.

Although I am thinking of rigging up a Mage-Jack for a DA:O playthrough. Too bad there isn't a "S**t, you sound like a p***y" option when Alistair gives you the rose. This is why The Maker made The Pearl.

If that idiot comes near her with a rose and starts laying on the crappy poetry, make sure she headbutts him

Since it was mentioned earlier, what kind of music do you see Jack appreciating? While part of me gets a kick out of thinking she'd be a post-industrialist, I'm not even sure how much artistic appreciation Jack would have for something as ephemoral as music... it's transitory and not really something you can grasp or hold onto. It's not real; it's not like art you can work into your skin, or see and value, it's something for the imagination to feed on. Perhaps if it pounded in the ears like a pulse, moved your guts with sheer bass, it'd mean something; it would prompt response from physical sensation - this is like gunfire, this is like something exploding... heh, maybe she could be an industrialist, or appreciate anything loud enough?

I'm just not sure... I'm fairly certain she wouldn't like silence. I imagine aside from her own voice, her cell at Telton was quiet. What brought all this on? I'm currently listening to Neilsen's 5th and I've come to the conclusion Miranda doesn't like anything particularly challenging

Hah... so true. The only thing that bugs me is that most of the dialogue options sound a wee bit too formal for Jack. I'm personally envisioning something along the lines of (spoiler-free for royclemens):



(somewhere in Athkatla...)

Jack: So, what the **** is up with all these dildos we keep collecting? I mean ****, I don't even wanna know what you guys get up to while we're resting...

Jaheira (somewhat confused): Those are wands of cloudkill... I am afraid I am unfamiliar with these “******” devices you speak of...

Jack: Yeah, whatever. You... uh... you may want to wipe that last one down, though...

Anomen: M'lady, if you would spare a moment, I have something urg-

Jack (exasperated): Aw ****, not this again... Tell you what Annie, I'll strike you a deal. I'll sleep with you if you stop calling me “m'lady”. Seriously, you sound like a retard. 

Anomen: I think you misread my int-

Jack: And as a bonus, I won't tell anyone you shave your chest.

(the entire party falls silent, Anomen looks around uncomfortably)

Jack: Whoops... ****. Alright, I won't tell anyone else.

Viconia: You were right to put the fool in his place. Where I hail from, lowly males know better than to assert themselves so bluntly - they exist only to service the whims and pleasures of their female superiors.

Jack: ****, are you serious? Now there's a system I could get behind...

 Aerie: I... I don't mean to intrude, but... could we rest here for a moment? We've traveled for so long without pausing... and I'm afraid that weariness and hunger are beginning to take their toll...

Jack: You know, that's not such a bad idea. Now that you mention it, I'm ****ing starving myself. (rummaging through pack) Let's see what we have here...  don't know about you, but I could sure go for some wings...

(Aerie bursts into tears and runs away, sobbing)

Jack: Huh? What the **** is her problem?

I would imagine that Jack has worn out the only album by the Snivelling S--ts. HUGE fan of The Plasmatics. Not the biggest Sex Pistols fan, as every snot-nosed sixteen year old gets a "Never Mind The Bollocks" t-shirt as a rite of passage. Yes, even in the twenty-third century.



What I want to know is which one of the squad is a Smiths fan, so I can make sure they croak on the suicide mission.
