First time visitor to the Ash thread.  For a long time (Since 2007 when ME1 was released) I couldn't get on board with Ash.  Something about her always bothered me.  I don't know if it was her nose, her attitude, or her dialogue but i always chose Liara as my interest.  I've played through ME1 at least 4 times....

BUT....

I am almost done with my recent playthrough of ME1 again, and I decided to pursue Ash from the get go.  I take her on all of my missions (never used to do that), danced with her at Flux (cute little awkward girl dance) and got to the romatic interlude before Ilos.  I had every intention on dumping her in ME2 for Miranda with my mixed Renegade Para Shep.  Not so fast.  I might just hang on now.
She has really grown on me.  I must say that I enjoy her character a lot more now then I ever did.  I was actually able to get into some dialogue trees that I had never seen before.  Decent stuff.
The reason for this long winded post?  To say that I was wrong about Ashley Williams and I like her now.  Her pillow talk is pretty good too (well all except the "Oh Captain, My Captain"...once was enough, don't beat me over the head with it ok).   "Just get over here!" 
Thanks for letting me participate.
Carry on.

*Waves* Glad to have you here!

It's always nice to see when someone gives Ash a chance (or 2nd chance it seems for you ). She really is a great character, and although I cannot speak from personal experience about her romance storyline, I imagine it is, as Liam says, worth it. What made you change your mind if you don't mind me asking? I'm just curioius to see what draws everyone in to Ashley.

If only everyone would give Ash a chance, she is deeper than what you first see and more people should get to see that, im glad you did

Hi Funk & Liam!

I take full responsiblity for the thread derailment last night.  Sorry! But I am planning on running through my Ash game today, so does that make up for it at all?

Its a bit of a nightmare to make it so the contest rules comply with every single country's guidelines. So they just went with the country with the biggest market.

Still dosent make up for calling it a community event and not US only..

I agree, they could have handled it better.



I'm in the US and have no intentions on participating, does this make you feel better?

[Funkcase]

Thanks for the replies...nice group.
Second: sure I enjoy talking about the game, but you may be sorry.   I tend to ramble.
Well, I had played through ME2 about 7 times, going between staying with Liara, going with Miranda, I even took Tali once.  I had just played ME1 on the PC and took Liara, and then imported him into ME2.
Like I mentioned before, I always thought that Ash was a very shallow character.  The token racist human who happens to be a "tough" female soldier....yeah right...pffft.    Like I said in the previous post, I found out I was wrong.

I wanted to play through both 1 and 2 with 1 fresh in my mind.  So I took a little break from the game for a few days, and fired up my Xbox version of 1.  I decide I would make it an Ash game since I had never really done it that way.  Like I said, I took her on every mission, even though I thought Liara biotics would come in handy (singularity for the win), but I resisted and took Ash and decked her out.
The extra dialogue, her little suttle ways of telling Shep she's interested, her jealous ways, was all very endearing and made me like her more.  By the time the Ilos mission came up, I thought to myself: I might just stay with her through ME2.
I am convinced (not having finished this play-through), that Ashley is just as commited to Shepard as Liara seems to be if you persue her.  Ashley seems to be a miliatry woman that is trying hard to prove herself because of family history, seems to not trust many people, but definitely shows interest in "her Captain" throughout.

Good character.

Feel free to ramble on, especially if the 'rambling' is interesting to read... which that was.  Ashley is certainly a very dedicated woman and does work hard to prove herself. I know a lot of people see her as racist as you had mentioned you used to, but I think if they really took the time to interact with her and pay attention to her views, they'd change their minds as you did. Maybe not everyone, but I think many would.

Absolutely.  I see the character in a new light.  I have to be honest, I like most of the ME characters, they all have their good moments, and now I can say that I include Ash as one of them.  Besides, her character fit in with my Shepard's play style quite well this time.  She was my "glue", especially after my Shep got grounded.  I believed her when she told my Shep that he could still do it.

For me Ash just fits.I take her with me even if I play soldier. Just like having her around.

Me too. 2 soldiers are better than 1 after all!
