fire: There's a tendency in some circles to present Shep as someone who really is perfect: he never misses, is always right, and could probably take on the Reapers all by himself. He can shrug off any physical or psychic trauma. In short, he has no flaws. This gets dull very quickly.

Or your ability to resist fantasies and wish fulfillment

True but it makes for terrible fan fiction and story telling. I don't want to hear about how perfect your Shep is, I might be interested in a new or interesting take on the character though.

What I did was occasionally have him make bad or dubious choices or just screw up: reconcile the asari on Illium, be unable to resist Morinth, choose Miranda as the biotic and get Jacob killed.
When I write, I flesh him out a bit more. He killed a thresher maw on foot, but not before he mentally checked out for a sec because he's a Sole Sirvivor with undiagnosed PTSD.

That's what I said above. I did like that aspect specifically. Only the location put me off.DarthCyclopsRLZ wrote...
How many of us actually *loved* the fact that their romance/love scene wasn't fluffy lovemaking?
Not just sex, but not the exact opposite either. I dig.

MA: Actually, I chose it because it would be the most traumatic loss for the pair of them. Jacob's loss would be devastating for Miranda, especially since it was directly caused by a failure of the abilities she's so proud of. And Shep let her do it, despite having Samara and Jack right there.
I honestly do it for the drama it will cause down the road (in my mind anyway)

Blame Bioware, lol. In no way whatsoever can the logistics on the War Hero and Sole Survivor origins make any sense.

1. War Hero: Single-handledly holding the line/pwning batarians while being outnumbered and outgunned. I'm not sure why I even need to elaborate. Sure, it's fun when Ahnold, Sly and Chuck Norris do it, but that's just the thing. It was fun. No one actually takes this seriously.
2. Sole Survivor: Depends whether you think Shep killed that Thresher Maw (s?) or just made it back to the landing zone.
a) Pwning a threshew maw without missiles or heavy artillery?
In both cases, it would've been a lot better to just have Shep rally troops and pull a big move.
War Hero could've been some sort of heroic charge that actually worked.
Sole Survivor could've been a scenario similar to the Outpost scene in Starship Troopers.

MA: and I fear it'll remain in our heads. Too many variables. Just like I don't expect it to matter that Shep romanced Ashley, but left her to die on Virmire. But in my head, Shep's just as scared of losing Miranda as she is of losing him. He never wants to have to choose between love and the mission again. Far better to keep his distance. But he can't.
The codex entry (something about risking your own life) and the ME2 dialogue make it seem it was a one-man show.Jebel Krong wrote...
i don't think war hero is single-handed pawning of anything, it was more like his leadership that saved the day (one soldier against ships?!). even if it's not specifically stated, it is alluded to in me1...

I actually went back on doing that to Ash, the potential for drama if she lives is too "juicy" to pass up. So yeah, my Shep will "cheat" on Ash...more like after Horizon he will be over it knowing that two years can change a lot, even himself.
