Ash is #1. 
Ah yes Ashley. The chick who very quickly loses all trust in you after everything you've been through and calls you a traitor. Ya she's great...

Well, lets wait and see what Jack is up to in ME3.
Come on now Errol Dnamyx, no need to come on the Jack thread and cause hate there both great caracters 
And we want people to know that Ash fans respect other people's views, so long as they dont cause hate. And im sure Jack fans are the same.
Hi Jack fans
I like Jack alot but Ash just seems to go with my Shepard best, Ash and Shepard are the perfect match. But thats the great thing with the background options you can make Shepard Colonist/survivor where Shepard has also expierenced loss so he has more in common with Jack and she is his match. Or make him spacer/war hero so he has more in common with Ash and she is his match.
Ah yes, Ash calling Shepard a traitor and losing trust in him, i thought we dismissed that claim... I think the devs realy messed Ash up on Horizion, that was not in caracter at all i thought yeah she is loyal to the Alliance but she was willing to stick with Shepard in stealing the Normandy and breaking the rule of fraternization, she would never turn her back on him. Atleast they made up for it with that email Ash sends Shepard, and we hopefully have her return to ower squad in ME3, with the ME2 squad also Now if you excuse me im off to read some of Badpie's fanfiction seeing as she got Ashley's caracter wrote down better than Bioware did in ME2.
Welcome to the Ash fans (who aren't obviously bored and thinking we'll actually rise to a chumline)
I'll freely admit that having romanced Ash with a few Sheps now, I was more than a little butthurt the first time I ran into her... ok, I've been gone a couple of years,
BUT I WAS DEAD. Sorry, is that not a valid reason where Ash comes from? I don't think I really want to live someplace where dead significant others haul their squamous flesh from the seething earth to tell you they have to take a raincheck on your date due to a limb dropping off. Please, get some perspective. I know I've been gone two years, but it's like I just fell asleep and woke up a couple of days ago and some jumped-up eugenics experiment has told me two years have passed - I can appreciate you're hurt, but give me a ****ing chance to explain. It's like being angry at a coma patient for missing your aniversary due to, well, being in a coma! It's not like you've come home and found me in bed with your mom and two of your sisters... give me a break. Let me catch up too!
Yes, I dismiss that claim too, Funk... that was some pretty damn slipshod writing.
Bad dog, Bioware.I'd agree that Ash has to suit some people more than Jack, regardless of backgrounds... I mean, some people like a challenge in a relationship; the whole wrestling back-and-forth for emotional dominance. Some folk go for vulnerability, which Jack has in spades without being some swooning princess in a tower than needs saving from a dragon constantly. Jack's a princess that needs saving from her inner dragon if anything. I think Ash offers a more equal relationship from all standpoints, so it has a cosy, fun normality that's easy to embrace. Tali has the whole cute teenage crush vibe, which makes it sweet and nostalgic and also harmless. Miranda's not much beyond a sport-****, regardless of her demands you don't die, same with Jacob. Liara is a bit off-kilter and the whole relationship thing seems new and experimental to her, like each part is something she's ticking off in a book... I can let that go though, she's not used to humans, but it's still jarring. And as for Kaidan... nice guy to be friends with, but he's barely a one-nighter in my book... he's just... I dunno... wet. Flacid. I can't bring myself to romance Garrus because... he's my bro, dude. And Thane... just no thanks.
I think comparing the LIs is a bit futile most of the time, as regardless of how much we're 'roleplaying' the role of Shep, we're still going in with our own psychobaggage, and we lay it on the game to judge where we invest our time and emotion. You can be the sort of person that rolls a relationship with each different character to see what happens in each one, but I think some part of you, the player, is invested in the choice. No-one romances without at least thinking 'character x is kinda hot' or 'character y makes me laugh'. If you didn't, you'd just not bother and go whip the Collectors and move on to your next game, because those 'reward' love scenes are tamer than lunchtime soap operas. It's the emotional investment that either makes our Sheps stay loyal regardless of the frosty welcomes they get returning in
ME2, or incites us to make them move on - be it out of spite or acceptance. The only place we can really compare the LIs in in the quality of their storylines and scripts meshing, as cold and clinical as that sounds.
And to me at least, Jack wins that battle hands down. Not everyone'll agree, but verbal billyclubs won't change minds, only that you have a stick and nothing better to do with it.
Retour en haut
) and then said, "Hey, let's give that Jack a try." I was thinking it was just okay until that conversation, and after it was over, and I'd reloaded a save to hear it again, I immediately thought, "I'm never going to have the heart to romance anyone else ever again after this." And thus does it begin.
