Even better, have you play as Citadel-BADPERSON, who naturally survived falling out of the Normandy, smashing into a skyscraper, plummeting down to the wards, the subsequent Reaper station abduction and slaughterfest, and the whole place blowing the the gently caress up at the end of the game, and who has now woken up in the foulest fuckin' mood imaginable and everyone they meet mistakes them for the Saviour of the Galaxy and wants a fuckin' autograph. Quest Log Priority: * Score some booze * Get the Normandy back Sub-Quests: * Find Shepard's corpse and dance on it * Kill 10 Autograph hunters

I'd unironically love to play as Evil Clone Shepard who wakes up(obviously Shepard would survive a mere half-mile fall in space) and spends the game either learning about friendship or using the hero worship of the populace for their own deliciously evil ends.

I was doing some youtubing and learned that during the second citadel mission, you can fail to convince Kaidan/Ashley that you're still cool. If you do so, you end up having to shoot 'em dead. In Kaidan's case, Shepard asks why he'd defend Udina, and Kaidan responds "Man couldn't defend himself" before poppin his clogs. Lieutentant Commander Barbie just says "gently caress you, burn in hell." Will they always say those things, or are there some events up to this point that can be handled differently to make Kaidan perish more angrily and Ashley less so?

I think the responses during Mars, and whether or not you visit Kaidan or Ash after they get injured have something to do with it, but I'm not entirely sure.

If you only visit them once, their responses are melencholy, but not visiting them at all leads to some angry last words.

It felt good to get Minsc killed by wolves then removing him from the party in BG, but I don't know if that counts in favor of him.

I don't really have an opinion on Kai Leng, but he is probably the only example in all of history of Bioware doing their job too well.

Can you buy the hamster in ME3 or do you need to carry it over from ME2? Is that even possible? Can you even buy a hamster in ME2?? I never bothered with that stuff. I think I bought some fish in ME2 in my first playthrough and then they died because I didn't feed them or anything and just never bothered again with them in subsequent playthroughs

I remember the first time I played, Kelly was feeding them in the latter half of the game so I eventually just forgot about it. I didn't feed them before the Suicide Mission, and Kelly was captured, so when I came back to my quarters in the post-game, they were dead. I just thought: Nice attention to detail.

And you can buy the hamster in ME2 and then find it again in ME3 running around in the lower engine level. Like the models, you have to look for it. Wait, I bet you didn't collect the models either. You suck.

While Shepard has genocided entire species (twice), cheated on every lover they've had, lied to and betrayed their friends and sent them into vents to die they still fed their fish, cared for their hamster and curated a wonderful collection of ship models That makes them officially not a monster. That's just the way the galaxy rolls. Deal with it.

If you're on worse terms with Kaidan he'll burn you with something along the lines of "better to die standing up for someone who might not deserve it than to kill a person who does" I think there's a milder Ashley version but forget what it is.

Seemlar posted:If you're on worse terms with Kaidan he'll burn you with something along the lines of "better to die standing up for someone who might not deserve it than to kill a person who does" Ashley's is something to the effect of "I had to stand up for what I thought was right, you taught me that." Also interesting about this situation is that if you do have to shoot the Virmire survivor, the crew, or at least Joker, seems a lot more broken up about Kaidan's death than Ashley's. With Kaidan, Joker is all "Kaidan was there with us from the beginning, I can't believe he's gone!" whereas with Ashley it's "I didn't really know her that well but it still sucks."

Yeah, Ashley always seemed to be really disconnected from the crew, also she was very annoying in me 3. I think that is why, because of course, she has to be conflicted that she was almost shot. When you know of course my paragon stowed his weapon after like 1 second. I didn't even think he was targeting her at all! I thought he was trying to get a udina shot.

In ME1 there were things to dislike about her but they were at least plausible as character traits. By ME3 you could wipe out an entire Cerberus hit squad and save a litter of kittens and she's still questioning which side you are on.

"I know you just killed that squad of Cerberus, killed all the people in Cerberus without question, was shot at them. Had a giant mech fall in front of you in an attempt to kill you, AND burned all your Cerberus clothes. BUT CAN I TRUST YOU." That is what it feels like after you save her, let her on board the normandy, and are on the way to kill the illusive man.

What always annoyed me is that I played the game with Garrus/Wrex the whole time & yet when I get to Virmire suddenly I'm forced to interact with those two morons to get their input. It was the same in 2 with Miranda/Jacob.

I think she's the only crewmember that never moves around the ship to talk to anyone else. The only thing she does is get drunk off-screen with Vega. It's kind of jarring once you notice it.
