So let me start this with the disclaimer with the fact that I am, female, straight, and I'm playing a femShep.

Now, I loved the game, loved the squad characters and their stories, and by far the most fun I've had gaming in the last six months, but after completing the game, I have one truly heartfelt plea for ME3:

*Please give us an option to fire Kelly Chambers.* Or at least give femSheps the renegade option to punch her in the face. I don't want her dead. I just want her on the other end of the Galaxy from wherever I am at any given time. I'm even cool with a hefty severance package. She can have all of the Platinum I didn't use on upgrades.

In my opinion, she wins the coveted award for most irritating video game character *ever*. I'm including all 151 original Pokemon and Jar Jar Binks in this summary. If I hear her say, "Commander, you have unread messages" one more time, I'm pulling a Nichelle Nichols and freaking the hell out. Kellygrrl is what happens when the irritating cheerleader from High School gets divorced, at 22, by the captain of the football team, and realizes she has to get a Bachelors in Arts and a public relations job - then graduates at the bottom of her class and can only keep jobs by continually trying to sleep with her bosses.  <_<

What does Chambers *do* other than feed my fish, report my actions to the Illusive Man, and tell me I have e-mail? She doesn't bring me a nice cup of tea and the morning paper. I could deal with a nice cup of earl grey and what's new on the extranet. She shows no particular professional psychological insight. She giggles about the characters she wants to sleep with. Friends, good ladies and gentlemen - I ask you - is that how a psychologist acts?

Of course, there are *ahem* less tactful ways to get rid of her, but this requires getting rid of several other characters who are amicable, useful, and who I have no malicious intent towards. It was a tough call. I really enjoyed the cutscene where she melts into goo.

I also realize that others find Miranda Lawson equally annoying. However, Miranda has three redeeming characteristics:

1)She actually has a personality, and her loyalty quest shows she has something resembling a soul. An egocentric soul, but a soul, nonetheless.
2) Her dialogue shows an sufficient level of intelligence, and she is useful in combat.
3) She stays. The hell. In her office.

I realize that most males are not having this problem. I hear she looks great in lingerie . But I implore you, dear Developers, to give me the option of a moment of peace on my bridge. Or a good cup of tea.

Am I the only one she grated  on? Males? Females? Perhaps I am insane.

I think Chambers is a plant. Her chipper demeanor is just a way for her to get close to shepard, so she can keep an eye on him/her for the Illusive Man

[Thompson family]

You're not insane, but very annoyed.



Check "The Onion" website for the video on a new depressing drug intended to help the estimated 20 million American's who are insufferably perky and chipper. "It saved our marriage" one guy says.

[Tisiphne]

I think that is why she annoys me, crownshaw She's just there to make Shep feel comfortable and spy on him/her.

[Gabey5]

yes as when playing as female Shepard there is no intrigue at all. they should have put a male assistant for the female Shepards

[Alexandus]

Really? She was one of my favorite non-squad characters.

She's the perfect spy.

[WilliamShatner]

I think she's lovely.

?



I play as female Shepard and I got plenty of intrigue with Kelly, believe me.

'There is someone who guys would like way more than me coming onto my crew, I need to get her fired!'.



I don't mind ****y women who pretend they don't want it. Maybe Kelly was added in for those people who like loose women. She didn't tug my rope but maybe someone else found her perfect. I didn't like Wrex nor the ME2 version of Wrex because I'm a Human Supremest but I wouldn't want them out of the game. Maybe we can hook Kelly up with Wrex.

[Tisiphne]

Aye, she will sleep with either gender. She starts hitting on both at the same time.

<--- This.

I'm quite certain there are many people who like her a LOT. As it was said, she's easy, and I hear she looks great in lingerie.

She scares me.

And she tells me I have messages when I don't.

I agree, but I'll go one further.  I believe she is TIM's daughter.  That's why she comes on to Sheppard so much.  She is the only 'LI' that will romance either sex.  (I haven't come across another at least)

But, I agree maybe there should be a male crew member that is a small LI for the straight femsheps or the gay male sheps.  Maybe the plumber/cook ..   (just kidding). 

[theREALsquidmaster]

I'd take Chambers over anyone that's available for LI in ME2. My heart still lies with Liara though.



Oh, and Miaranda is a #$%!ing annoying b***h

[Pauravi]

Really? You're that upset over someone telling you that you have unread messages? You enjoy watching someone be abducted and die a horrendous death just for giving you reminders every once in a while? I mean, how often are you running around right next to the galaxy map, anyway?

Man, you've got a worse temper than Jack.

[Andorfiend]

How can you hate Kelly Chambers? That's like hating Paige Davis ... holding a puppy.

Yes, it just builds up until I explode (changes icon to Jack).

What, you mean the like 4 or 5 platinum you had left after you went out of your way to mine it all to try to upgrade stuff. Oh, don't give me that look, you know you did...it only takes like 65k more platinum to get all upgrades than anything else and it's a pain to find!

As to Miranda, I hated her more than Kelly, but I agree and am thankful for the 3 points you mentioned...specifically #3.

Last but not least though, I am male, and I agree with you. Women like Kelly really don't have appeal to me, and constantly being reminded I have new messages or NO new messages was irritating. Maybe not quite so grating on my ears...I'm fairly good at tuning things out.

[JediMB]

I like Kelly, but she's a bit weird in the bedroom.

[Cutlass Jack]

How could you not love Kelly? She saves you the trouble of checking your mail, knowing when to talk to your crew, and feeding your fish.



I haven't loved a character in a video game this much since Wynne offered to wash my dog in Dragon Age.

[Talogrungi]

Yeah, the "you have unread mail" thing is annoying. Just make the damn terminal flash or something.

[JamieCOTC]

She's probably leave Shep for a hannar in ME3 anyway, so don't sweat it.

She keeps pulling this one on me too. I keep expecting she's going to laugh at me when I check.

[JamieCOTC]

As for people staying the hell in their office, that's all well and good, but when I need them, they should come to see me. It's my GD ship!

[Trishann]

You are dissing mah Bunnahe!
