Except that is exactly what they do with the little kid and the shuttles that get shot down. That one scene is in my opinion one of the worst parts of this game, because it feels so insanely forced, like the destruction that goes on around it wasn't enough already to make the player realize that poo poo is going real bad, real fast.

I agree. It felt so hamfisted to have the kid run away from Shepard to start with, then get exploded by a Reaper. It's just laying it on so thick when there's clearly enough devastation going on to make it clear that Earth is totally boned.

Kaiden had the personality of a plank of wood, and Ashley is a one-note Space Racist, so yes they are both pretty terrible and I wouldn't feel bad about nobody caring about which of them were left behind to die.

I don't know, A lot of the aliens are pretty racist too. I don't think Ashley is out of line being aware of the galactic situation. She's no warrior-philopspher or anything.

ME3 has the single best response to this. You know the line.

I don't, because I've never played ME3. I am going to guess that it involves violence, though.

If only Shepard were some sort of word-using warrior--you know, someone who could argue/defeat ideas and receive support based on debate and arguments. Not that such people exist in the ME universe.

I'd play Udina Effect.

Watching this last episode is so depressing; Javik keeps being almost interesting\important and then the game goes "Whoops hes DLC can't have him interact with other NPC's too much."

"Who's he?"

"Nobody important, forget you ever saw him."

It's really frustrating, I agree.

Every time I look at Grunt's face, all I can see are his weirdly pudgy cheeks.
