But when your character actually chooses those options in dialogue, 90% of the time it's just you acting like an unhinged madman.

Ashley has a few interesting things about her - if you talk with her you find out she's a weird kind of conservative christian person with a potentially slightly racist distrust of aliens. It leads to a nice moment late in the game on the Citadel where the guy from the ethno-nationalist political party tries to get you to lend your support to his cause, and Ashley tears into him because she thinks he's too overtly racist as opposed to her much milder, friendlier, racism-lite, even though what he's saying is basically just the logical conclusion of her own beliefs (sadly, as usual, Shepard is totally limp here and can't really point this out).Huh, I thought the exact same thing about Ashley.Kaiden is literally just a man with hair who's essentially only there so you can throw him away on Virmire without a second thought.
Her grandfather was forced to surrender in the war against the Turians, and while what he did was perfectly logical in a no-win situation, he was demoted out of the way and had his family name forever stained because of this. It's part of the reason why Ashley doesn't like aliens and why she keeps soldiering on even when given shit assignments in shitty looking armor.There's also this thing where her grandad was a notorious quisling or something who helped the Turians, I forget. Wasn't interested in that at all but it's something else about her character.
Unintentionally went full circle to make fun of Bioware, despite originally making fun of the people hating on Bioware.Also is this a self aware poke at Bioware? Or am I reading too much into it
Yeah, but imagine the admirals know as much about the real military as Gaider and Hepler.Ashley's grandfather did nothing wrong, the entire story feels kinda contrived because it would have been a very difficult decision to make and I'd have trouble believing a military would not only punish him for making the correct choice but punishing his grandchildren for it too.
Imagine you're in a civilian area that's being carpet bombed with the equivalent of nukes from space, and that's basically the situation he was in. Surrender was the only choice he realistically had, you can't fight back against that.
We're sci-fi fans, eating feces and discussing how it should have been a cake instead is what we do.enjoy it for what it is, don't sperg about what could have been
What's your favorite ME? If you say 2 your a pleb.you can easily spot a pleb by asking them what their favorite ME is and the answer is "2"

imagine thinking giant mecha shepard is a better ending lmaoWhat's your favorite ME? If you say 2 your a pleb.you can easily spot a pleb by asking them what their favorite ME is and the answer is "2"
2. The first doesn't have vanguard charge (why even live?) and the third has the gay ending.
That's cool. I'll classify both as shit and realize the rest of 3 is vastly superior to 2 rather than judging an entire game on the last 5 minutes like a sperg.Yeah. I'll take a (shit) giant robot final boss over a long slow-walking segment and three identical endings that don't make sense anyway.
Andromeda I haven't even bothered playing. And not so much due to the absolute jankfest that it is (or was, depending on how much they've fixed of the various glitches), but due to the subpar writing even by ME standards. And also the newly introduced races, particularly the friendly one whose visual design just registered as cartoony to me.At least Andromeda was jank enough to be funny.
Leviathan added a sense of mystery and atmosphere there's not a lot of in Mass Effect. Sure the non-combat scenes were pretty barebones, but the walkup to the reveal was one of the most atmospheric scenes in the series, and not just it was so far underwater your mech was being crushed.Maybe we could argue about which mission was best, but seems pretty obvious it was Leviathan.
But he's hot and Ashley isn't, so I'd take his droning about protecting the Indian girl or whatever in school over Ashley's droning about being a Christian racist, lol. At the end of the day, both of them are just guys with hair, so the choice on Virmire was never anything other than who you find hotter. Ashley could've been interesting if her racism went somewhere, but Bioware have a tendency of declawing their more extremist characters. It speaks volumes that the most radical thing a companion does in the whole of the ME trilogy is Samara turning down Shep.
Only thing I remember about Kaiden meanwhile is him droning on for-fucking-ever about getting bullied at tard school.
If you romanced Jacob, the only black guy on your crew, in ME2 it turns out that between games he got another woman pregnant and intends to stay with her.It speaks volumes that the most radical thing a companion does in the whole of the ME trilogy is Samara turning down Shep.
