Tin Foil Skirt and Thigh-High Boots - Ashley Williams Thread

Ashley is a good character. I like her because she is a soldier like I was a very long time ago.

When she says 'I can't tell the animals from the aliens', I wanted my Shepard to laugh and agree with her. She has my back or rather my Shepard's back. When that krogan draws his weapon at Shepard, she's there to gun him down. excellent.

In ME2, I wanted an interrupt to smash her in the face for getting stupid when Cerberus is mentioned. She has to pull her head out of her fifth-point-of-contact and see that the collectors are the immediate threat, not Cerberus. One thing I'm curious about is how different would the scene have played out had smurfette told the Alliance that Cerberus has Shepard's body?

In ME3 she is very good on missions. She rarely 'dies'. She is extremely good when using a sniper rilfe. My only complaint is her hair. I liked her with the bun in ME1/2. 

Almost forgot her humour. What would I do without her sarcastic comments. So glad to have someone at my side who just hits home. Love that discussion on the Citadel with Femshep.

Shepard: The Council represents more races than I thought. No wonder they're careful with newcomers.
Kaidan: They probably just wanna keep everything running. It has to be hard keeping all of these cultures working together.
Ashley: Or maybe they just don't like humans.
Shepard: Why not? We got oceans, beautiful women, this emotion called love... according to the old vids, we have everything they want.
Kaidan: Well if you put it that way, there's no reason no one'd like you. ...I mean, us. Humans. Ma'am.
Ashley (raises eyebrow): You don't take much shore leave, do you, L-T?

I never disliked Liara either, especially in ME1. I don't even mind her romance, for FemShep anyway. I did not like how show became almost like a "side-girl" in ME2-3. Plus, it seemed that most of the characters got at least a small rewrite. The writer for Ashley and Legion (if I remember correctly, a few other things as well), Chris L'Etoile and some other writers left during ME2 production. Which made it kind of hard to keep characters consistent when new writers took over.

I actually think Ashley looks fine in ME3 the way she is. Its no different than Kaidan who got super "hunk-ified" for ME3. They just prettied her up but she still looks and acts like Ashley. The mod you provided looks a bit off in my opinion. I can't make out what it is, but she looks a little weird. But I do agree Ash can look good without make up. 

I definitely prefer the less makeup version. Looks more natural that way, not like a Vogue magazine photoshoot

I downloaded the tweak and installed it into the game. It works, when she is in the Squad. However, in the intro, and on the Normandy, she is back to her vanilla face. Why is that? What's also strange is that all but one dds installed correct. The other--the 3rd dds--is apparently "NOT FOUND IN TREE." I also have the warpack mod downloaded. Could that be the cause? And for some reason, it's not working the Leviathan DLC. But it works in the Citadel DLC. ...

Here's the order of what i did: ALOT, SweetFx, Warpack DLC, then the Complexion mod. I tried uninstalling, re-installing. Nothing is working. I really don't want to vanilla my game. Ellise hasn't relied. I don't even know how to uninstall a tpf. This is bs. I don't even have a problem with Ash's original face. I only did it out of curiosity. 

...I think it may have been because I didn't unpack the DLC when using me3explorer. And I installed some of the DLC mods after installing ALOT (which is apparently the wrong order).

I dunno if this kind of pic is allowed but heres a nice pic of Sheploo and Ash

The best Ash look is the one in my profile picture. Bun and Medium ME1 type armor. (Not necessarily phoenix armor)

Military and practical.

Hated what they did with her appearance in ME3 and the sidelining in both ME2 and 3. Smh.

That good news to hear.

I will still mod tbh.  Even though its gonna be tricky and harder than modding Elder scrolls game but it will be worth it to me.  I've learned a thing or two about modding games in general.  I have made some mistakes before but now I'm confident enough to mod.  I did find some awesome video tutorials on how to install mods for mass effect 1-3 games, one of them is a long video on youtube on how to install most of the mods that I want to install for Mass Effect 3. 

You probably just have to find very good walkthroughs and detail instructions on how to mod all types of mods for Mass Effect series.  But I can understand why you don't want to take that risk again.

I still installed a bunch of mods. This time everything worked out better. I'm just not installing the complexion mods.

I wasn't overly fond of her "chickification" either. I thought it was against her character as she striked me off as a more pragmatic/practical woman.

They should've kept the open hair for off-duty scenes. Long, flowing hair would be distracting on the battlefield.

An of course, how she has been sidelined in ME2 and ME3... Didn't like that either
