What's funny is if you look at the old forums, Chris Priestly and Stanley Woo were both trying to hint at how small the roles of Liarashidan were going to be. They didn't sugarcoat things.

Unfortunately, I listened to Casey's 'they're very important to the story' evading, so I was very much let down.

The sad part is they were all right, it was a small part but important to the story, at least it made a huge impact on my game. lol

Meh...how is being frozen, chewing me out, and then sending me a crappy apology letter BY EMAIL (no style points awarded) important?

On that note,  I think I'm off to bed, with the crazed imaginings of the KAST running through my mind.  I mean, if tonights thread doesn't give me sweet dreams of biotically charged uh...reunion with Kai Kai I don't know what will.

Hmm...I will never look at him in his barrier the same way when playing ME1 and it's all thanks to BECC4.

It was just disappointing to see a character/relationship we spent so much time with in ME1 reduced to a few minutes of poorly written dialog. I think they could have come up with a much better way to keep them alive for ME3. I am hopeful their appearance/involvement in ME3 will be worth the wait.

Shockwave on the other hand, especially on collector ship, is awesome. New platform slides up. And knock half the combatants off the platform. Very fun.

Or when facing the hoard of husks right before getting off the collector vessel, somewhat similar to bowling


On another note, I currently installing ME back onto my hard drive...I have missed it

When I replayed ME the other week, I was delighted to discover that my favourite way of killing husks and Thorian Creepers is by running them over with the Mako.

Shepard *runs over husk, reverses, husk flies off over mountain edge*: Weeee!
Wrex: *hysterical laughter* Do it again!
Kaidan: *clears throat* Is that really necessary, ma'am?
Shepard: *shocked* Of course it's necessary, Alenko! Would you rather they explode into goo all over that nice new armour I bought you?
Kaidan: ...Point taken, Commander. Carry on.

As long as it's not the pink armor *grumbles*

No seriously,  I"m going to bed now.  NOT spending any more time on the forums...

Best that you clarify that, lest he be wearing armor in the bedroom and running nekkid through the rest of the Normandy.   Gabby, Miranda, Tali, Dr. Chawkwas, Jack, and EDI might all get jealous.

Or they might take pictures...

EDI is recording everything anyway.

And she can see into your cabin!!!

So that means there is the potential for a huge amount of Femshep/Kaidan amature porn to be leaked across the extranet...

Hmm, I get the feeling that those volus Mouse worked with on the Shepard VI will be releasing a content update pretty soon...

I'll second that.  If they can find an excuse to sideline them, they damn well could have found an excuse not to.  Or the very least they could have done is expand on what they did include.  I already thought of a couple of ways they could have allowed an ongoing communication with Kaidan even within the confines of the story as it is.

I started a new game just to use mods to give my character new hair, eye color, and outfits. I'm not supposed to playing dress-up in a Mass Effect game!!! That's the sort of thing I would do in Elder Scrolls and Fallout 3, because the game world seemed so empty without party members. Bioware games are supposed to have the compelling storyline.



This is all so backwards.

Yeah I heard about those mods.... It's very tempting..

I know what you mean. I'm halfway through the game and I feel no immersion whatsoever.

[sesheta255]

I lost count of the number of times I played ME, but I'm finding I have to force myself through each successive playthrough of ME2 (planet scanning doesn't help either) - its just hard to get immersed in the story, it feels incomplete. I'm actually wondering whether the change of game mechanics took longer than BW thought and they had to rush to get it out because the game feels rushed to me. It annoyed me that Anderson kept saying come back if you need to talk but didn't really have anything new to say or that you couldn't update him on what was going on. In my last playthrough not only did I get yelled at by Kaidan , but Joker chewed Shep out as well after the collectors stole the crew - don't normally go & talk to Joker at that time just head straight for the Omega 4 relay, so it was a bit of a shock.



As for the "compelling" ME2 love interests (for femShep anway), that has to be the crappiest thing Bw ever thought up - Sheps c'mon to Jacob was an instant turnoff, Thane's memory thing really creeped me out, & doing it with Garrus would have felt like incest.

[fortunesque]

Yeah, I don't see myself playing ME2 through more than a small handful of times.



I'm pleasantly surprised by Grunt and Miranda. I really like them both. Jack's cool too.

[syllogi]

On the one hand, I only get two or three conversations with each of my teammates at most, outside of their loyalty quests, because I won't romance them. And once you're done with collecting your team and doing their quests, all you have left is mining or horribly short, boring N7 missions, or going straight to the endgame.



On the other hand, I've finally given my new Shepard the perfect shade of green eyes, and sexy new hair!!!

[fortunesque]

Honestly, because a lot of the N7 missions look like Cerberus tasks, I won't be doing them to help them.



And that's another thing... why are Cerberus missions called N7 missions? N7 is an Alliance special forces group...

[chem light]

okay, can't sleep. hate not sleeping. what are we talking about? love interests?



hmmmm...yeah....still can't get all you guys biotic foreplay out of my mind. man this place has really permanently relocated my mind to the gutter.

I have to share the adorableness of my imported Shep! (I don't remember if I shared or not last night?)

[Isaantia]

Well outside of the lack of Kaidan, its the middle of of a trilogy. You know there is more to come so why keep playing the same thing over. It makes sense to play the beginning many times.

YEah I didn't get that either, or why I was wearing N7 on my armor either when I wasn't associated with teh alliance anymore or why the hell I'd do an interview with that Jilani chick righy after I told C-Sec to make sure it looked like I was still dead, or WHY THE HELL KAIDAN IS IN PINK ARMOR!

*hyperventaliates*  it's been a long week.

I think this was one of the most frustrating things about the writing for the companions in ME2! Even Garrus would rather do more calibrating that talking to his old buddy, so wrong!

On to a different matter...would someone be willing to PM me instructions on how to replace my Cousland avatar with a pic of my Shep?

EDIT: Received! Thank you, kind soul.

It's too bad the face code doesn't work properly with imported characters, that's a very pretty Shepard.  Are you going renegade?  She'll look scary-pretty with the scars and red eyes.

I went renegade but I got the med bay upgrade before Horizon. She had to look purty for Kaidan.

Did I mention that this is the same Faith Shepard from Parallax?

I wish that I could put my Sheapard up, but mine is on the X- box 360.

I actually liked the middle response better.  Still not exactly what Mia would have said, but at least it's not as inane as "How've you been?"  How the hell does she think he's been?!

Now that I've played that scene again the How you've been comes off better because it could be my imagination or someone having suggesting this on the forum before, but Shep does seem uncomfortable when saying it, like she's not sure what to say and how he's going to react, and then it's totally inadequate and blows up in her face. If I think about it pretty sure I've said and done something similar before.. 
 I hope I'm not trying to excuse BioWare, I do wish they'd written the encounter differently, but I do see that particular line in a new light now, and it gives Shepard a human flaw. 

It's a tough situation really since you can read a lot of extra detail into it if you want to, but some of it seems so shrouded that it's hard to tell whether BioWare actually intended it or it's more just a handwave to set people free to explore new love interests, while still leaving a hint that the old one can be continued later.

I've pretty much come to terms with Horizon by now; as I figure, Kate never really got around to put her mind into having been dead - sure, people say it, but throughout both Mass Effect 1 and 2 there's this general impression that she's the sort who deals with the present, "the mission", first and leaves sorting out loss/grief/emotional woes for later. In fact, with Joker, Chakwas and Garrus all around, I think to a point she was falling back into old motions and could almost pretend to herself she never died for two years and the rest of the team are just temporarily away somewhere.

Of course, Kaidan proves her wrong, but hey. Also, of course, it might just be because I have the scene of Kate looking at his picture in retrospect; I loved that scene.
