@Com;
I really now wish that I had waited to evolve the conversations between the two characters instead of going there after every mission.. and it's upsetting because I won't get that sense of fulfillment like you did.
However, I do understand that moment of worry. Like I mentioned in my earlier post about how shallow I am.. the defining moment when I realized how much I enjoyed her character was when she floored me with that;
"So don't die! Promise me you won't die!"
That -one- line.. sent me reeling back. I had begun to warm up to her character's personality over the course of the game.. but when those words escaped her lips.. I realized just how hooked I was.
There was -so much- emotion in that one line. There was passion.. she didn't want to lose her chance at a real relationship. There was desperation.. she understood that this was a one-way mission.. but I think that hearing Shepard promise he won't die kind've gave her.. damn, what's a good way to say this.. a stronger feeling to try her damn best to make sure they come back alive? That doesn't even accurately describe what I am trying to get across.
After that moment, I was so upset that there was no more conversation branching with her - and it made me thoroughly upset. It's probably the main reason why I've played through the game so many times - to experience the romance over and over and try and get that ultimate feeling of satisfaction from it.
Damn you, Bioware - but good show.
You know, I agree that the "So don't die! Promise me you won't die!" was what sold me. (It MIGHT'VE been where we were just after the Collector Ship mission, where it looked like she might've died.) And it was particularly poignant for me because Shepard had already died, and it had cost him a lot of his old friends and relationships. That whole scene and especially that particular line is what IMO is what makes it more of a romance/relationship then a simple fling. Before you see her vulnerable side during her loyalty mission, and she's letting it seep through despite herself; here she's deliberately making herself vulnerable and emotionally accessible--to Shepard. It's clearly not easy for her.
That's why I like the more corny line--"What matters is how we feel" to the "Who said anything about love?"; it just feels a little weird to bust out the Shepard Horndog ™ after such a striking admisison of compassion from a character who, at the start of the game, seemed incapable of loving anyone.
