WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Ashely is a Xenophobic Christian. I'd have to agree with you. Its not really agreeing. This is pretty much what the basis for her character was and probably what the Bioware devs wrote down as an idea first. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonfever Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Checks the URL for this message board.... oh... I thought this was the codex for a minute. As much as I am looking forward to Mass Effect, I am also looking forward to Dragon Ages. It really looks interesting too. I am more a casual gamer. Hope both games are playable, for me. E3 should be filled with a lot of surprizes. Besides Alpha Prodical, looks very interesting as well. There's a lot of good games coming out. Don't forget about the unannounced ones! Tons of publishers seem to be holding off thier announcements till E3! Can't wait! Yes I know. I really am excited. The progress on games has come a long ways from a few years ago. It's not long now. I love the night, so peaceful and calm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrath of Dagon Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Interesting. I may go buy this. I didn't realize. I thought ME was just kiddie sky-fi shoot-em-up with cheesepuff combat. Perhaps I was gravely mistaken. No, you were right, except it's not only combat that's cheesepuff. "Moral indignation is a standard strategy for endowing the idiot with dignity."

Maria Caliban Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 (edited) Well as long as the game gives me the option to start a character from scratch and set these super-important decisions from ME1 myself, I'll be happy. Not that there were that many anyway... Wrex, Ashley/Kaiden...anything else? Help or kill the Rachni Queen Let Ashley or Carth die Kill Wrex or not. Decide if humans will rule the council or be part of it. Pick a human ambassador for the council. Kill Shiala or not. Scan all those Citadel aphid thingys or not. Help the newspaper reporter. As Cerberus is active in the second game, whether you destroy their main research bases or not might be important. Her being a racist was nice touch in overly PC (Political Correctness) game industry. What are you smoking that the game industry is politically correct?

Hell Kitty Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 (edited) Also there is whether or not you gave info to the Shadow Broker , though I can't remember what quest that was linked to. Or does she just not trust them at all and have no experience dealing with aliens or alien cultures? Yes, which is what makes her a racist. She doesn't trust certain folks because they are aliens.

This is pretty much what the basis for her character was and probably what the Bioware devs wrote down as an idea first. Have you played Mass Effect? It is perfectly explicit she is a Xenophobic Christian. I do have to say, who ever wrote her, did a fantastic job. <3 I really really hope they continue to write for her in Mass Effect 2.

Niten_Ryu Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Her being a racist was nice touch in overly PC (Political Correctness) game industry. What are you smoking that the game industry is politically correct? Yeah, sexism is common but even in that area it's more towards distorted "Girl Power" rather then "Damsel in Disress" or "Between Fist and Stove". Now if that action girl would wield broom and wear maids outfit (probably only in Japan these days) Let's play Alpha Protocol My misadventures on youtube.

Meshugger Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 (edited) No damsel in distress has ever been interesting or inspiring, Ashley or Bastila included. Bastila did have an awesome british accent, which i really liked, but Ashley did not. I do not even remember the girls from JE. Jolee however, is the best character Bioware has ever written.

Morgoth Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I always wondered what would happen if actually a female lead designer/creative lead/producer would be in charge of a game. Half-Nakey men? Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Jade Raymond wasn't the brain-force behind AC. And albeit she was a producer, I always got the feeling she and her beauity was just used for the media. And she isn't working on I Am Alive either, that rumor has been declined. I can't name a single female creative lead in a single sentence along with MCA, Warren Spector, Will Wright or Hideo Koijama.

Purkake Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 They ARE making at least some new NPCs for the second game, right? There's not really much more you can say about the old ones, unless they add some other backstory gimmick from the random backstory creator. *roll* Ashley gets "evil twin" and "daddy didn't love me" *roll* Kaiden gets "mysterious childhood friend" and "keeps secret diary" ...

Deadly_Nightshade Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I just hope my Gay Shepard can finally get a romance.

IIRC a characters sex was tied specifically to their model not a variable (like say how you can make a gay character in BG etc...). And I don't want to hax0r my game when I load my ME1 save. Just hopefully they will add a male/male romance option. But I doubt it.
