So, Tali killed herself...

Wait, what?! HOW?! WHY?!

It seemed Different, But i love it.
Sadly no squadmate specific missions.
I loved those.
Also, Mass effect reminded me why i love sniper rifles.
Although i played an assualt rifle class last playthrough so sometimes i get in the habit of using my sniper as an assault rifle.

Still really mad that Jack wasn't a squad member option in this game.

From what I understand she becomes one only if you romanced her in ME2.

So I suppose you can play through that again XD. Hell I'll bet I could power game through ME2 in like, 15 hours, maybe 12? I should try that.

Writing this so the spoiler doesn't show in the post preview.

No she isn't a squad mate, even if you did romance her in ME2. She'd have different conversations at the times you meet up with her though.

Yeah, that's what I meant. I could never bring her along like you can Liara or Ashley.

I just feel that the romances in ME2 are so cheap now. Liara and Ashley are the only ones that you can just have and roll with you in the whole ME3.

Finished the game last night....

that is all I have to say.

Am I the only one here that hated Jack?

I hated her character design if that helps. I mean, come on. Put a shirt on. Or at least wear a Bikini top cause the straps aren't doing it for me

Asherian Command wrote:Am I the only one here that hated Jack?

I romanced her because she was the most emotionally interesting character to me.

She is easy to hate I suppose if you don't look much farther than "wat a bitch..."

No. IT was the tatoos and the stupid sniper guy vs a vanguard class guy that pissed me off. That and she is basically an upgraded vanguard so she was kinda useless to me.

I finished the "From Ashes" mission today, and I want to ask:

After reading some comments I now realize what my complaint is with this game and to a lesser extent ME2...it's too much like dragon age 2.

Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying ME3 and I liked ME2 as well. But I now understand where my point of contention is with these two games, and my god was DA2 a giant boring turd of a game. Such a disappointment when I get that game.

So you just didn't like what she looked like.

Ok.

Agreed. Horrible character design.

The person herself? An interesting character and I was interested in getting to know her, the last person I would ever have romanced however in those games.

Personally it WOULD be in order Ashley, Miranda, Tali (those are the people I am interested and wouldnt mind a romance) after that ... Liara uhhh and then I dont know who but whatever. Not that it made a difference sense I only Romanced Ashley and that is it.

I actually liked the tattoos and the shaved head. They fit her really well. My problem was just the attire. I thought her clothing was stupid.

Strange, that was my first choice, maybe that says something about me.

Overall design was very good, I thought. She was consistent with some the other people I've known with awful childhoods, but cranked up to 11; as was intended I think.

Clothes weren't that great, but I can sort of see the thought behind them. Someone that gets that many tattoos in those places isn't really all that concerned about people seeing what they're on.

Still, her alt costume is way better. And her ME3 outfit is really what I think she should have had from the beginning.

Her ME3 outfit definitely gives off the Fifth Element vibe. Just as crazy, but with a bit more punk rock goin' on with the jacket and all.

I like her a lot more in the 3rd game. It feels like Shepard really helped her get her act together, but she's definitely still Jack.

I couldn't stand her in ME2, though I gradually felt sympathy for her after doing her story mission. She was always too edgy and psychopathic for me, and if I wanted that I'd hang out with Zaeed.

On a completely different note, anyone get a Commendation pack last night? Anything good? The N7 Crusader is a blast.

I wasn't much of a fan of Jack in ME2. Grunt was probably my favorite of all and still is.

I don't get all the hate for DA2 though... I think it was a great game. I liked it way better than the first...

Jack was too over the top and obnoxious. I don't care how traumatic her background was, she was a total bitch and her character design (straps, tats, and shaved head) was just...bleh. I never used her or Miranda.

Only reason I even talked to them at all was because I always complete everything I can in games.

Well Bioware stated that Miranda was supposed to be polarizing. You really weren't supposed to like her. Most of the fans agreed. I think AwkwardZombie said it best though.

Sorta like James Vega. I think laying on the pandejo was a little thick... but the character was well modeled, and Freddie Prinz Jr. was a good voice actor! I might use him in my party in my next playthrough, but I made sure I talked to him a bit. A lot of people hated him, but I grew to like him.

I like Miranda. Something about that buttoned-up buxom style, just like a birthday package. Jack is the anti-Miranda fashion-wise, letting it all (or what there is of it) hang out. Either way, you have a play-tough jumble of insecurities to mess with and I prefer mine with clothes on unless I happen to be messing. Shepherd is so 50s (how does he not have a cardigan-and-pipe alt look?) that it's hard to believe he'd do well with either ... or anyone, short of Liara who surely must be the hottest-to-trot character in video game history.

If you want ManShep to have a healthy relationship with a healthy lady then romance Ash. I mean, that's fine for real life and all. In consequence free Mass Effect land, I'll spin the wheel on the girl whose face I can't see but I know has three toes per foot. Kink much? Shepherd is written as such a fething creeper anyway (you are now picturing him dancing) it's best just to go with those unsavory urges. I feel the warp over-taking me ... [twitch]

I really liked James so far in my playthrough, even if I hardly use him on missions. I am also a really big fan of the crew moving about in this one, makes the ship seem much more alive.

James was fine, didn't care for Ashley much at all. She was a little too "i'm tough girl michelle rodriguez" for me. I mostly used Liara and Garus or tali

Like Manchu, I liked Miranda. She was the personification of what happens when you're expected to be superlative. There's nothing left to achieve, nothing to feel rewarded by, just the burden of expectation.

Way better than Jacob, if nothing else Vega was at least believable.

Good point, Morathi. I love how the crewmembers interact with each other. Just wait till Garrus and James hang around at the kitchen.

You might have heard about this guy, Archangel, who killed all those thugs on Omega. That was me.

Definitely agree.

I'll just throw this in here.

The guy who did the music for ME2 released an album (for 5 bucks). It's all songs made for ME2 that weren't used. It's pretty damn ace.

http://music.biggiantcircles.com/album/legacy

ME2 had awesome music, I was really let down by ME3.

Hell, I thought ME1 had great tunes, and ME2 still blew it away.

Give it a go, you can listen to all the full songs on the site too.
