Turians, though very by-the-book, work from a very different book indeed.

Yeah I don't know why you didn't have an option to talk him down or chuck a grenade at him. I guess it was more ~emotional and edgy~ to have him blow his brains out.

This Shepard has a real resting renegade face going on, that particular cutscene made me notice it.

In later years, Asari would sometimes refer to Shepard's brain as "the galaxy bike."

Yet another reason to dislike Ashley. Not that I like Kaidan either. lovely humans.

Good humans in this series include, what Zaeed and Kasumi maybe? Pretty much anyone else might be a controversial pick.

Good as in interesting, or good as in a decent human being? Because I'm pretty sure Zaeed's a psychopath. But, if he should just happen to break onto my ship and murder Kaidan and steal his room, though, I'm not in a position to turn down any help I can get.

Good as in a consistent fan-favorite I suppose. We joke about Tali's sweat but let's not forget Kaidan has the brow that launched a million glistening posts too. I think Miranda managed to be *almost* universally reviled and Jason universally forgotten (on average anyway, I'm sure they have fans somewhere). Even James had issues coming in as the new guy.

Face it guys, humans blow except for honorary protheans and spooky kleptomaniacs.

Really, the only thing that felt memorable about Jackson was his loyalty mission, and even that was more about the situation itself, not his own reactions to it.

By extension Jake had a pretty good OST to his name as well.

It's totally possible to do non-romance runs, I've done them on both FemShep and ManShep. Part of the problem is that unlike DA2 & DAI there isn't a clear romance/flirt option so probably what happened with Ash is you progressed her too far into romance (probably by nothing more than being nice)

Earlier Bioware games were bad about this. In DAO I got treated to a terrific cut-scene of my PC loving Zevran because I had good approval and I misread his proposition question re: my comfort with his bisexuality. No Zevran I'm not that okay with it :mad:

All and all it's just an awkward way of framing a possible romantic partner's age and maturity since the game stresses that difference. It's like Bioware was doing its own take on the preteen-looking girls who're actually thousand year old witches so it's totally okay except that Liara may also have a degree of mental immaturity for her species too. However it makes a smidgen of sense in that a lot of the actual gamers would be pretty young themselves, 14-21-ish, even though the PC is 30, so doing mental gymnastics to invent an pseudo-18 year old LI isn't wholly a creepy endeavor.

Sounds spooky but your own judgement on a secret thing is probably best, though I guess another option is just using this thread w/a title change and maybe an updated OP for the rest of the trilogy.
