Imagine romancing liara and not Ashley. Couldn't be me. (I mean I've done it to see different things on different playthrus but... it's hard for me to not romance Ash) It's so weird, if you think about it, how people can write fictional characters that we prefer romantically over others just like in real life. Like how? and why? It's weird. A good story needs good characters. A good character is one that provokes emotions. If you love or hate a character, the writer did something right.
Mass Effect comes with a good story and a ton of good characters. And most of 'em provoke some emotion while you're playing the game. Hate Saren? Or pity him? Love Liara? No? Ashley? No? Miranda then? Or do you save Kaidan over Ash since you wanna have that gay relationship in ME3?
In the end it's an acomplishment fans still talk about a game and characters in said game that's 14 years old (ME was released in 2007).

The emotion I most associate with Ashley is abject horror at the thought of ever having to look at her hair and make-up and dress in ME3, and the unutterable relief of blowing her up on Virmire and sparing her from becoming an abomination. Really not sure that that's a credit to the writing.

And a lot of imagination to fix Ashley in ME3 as well.

At this rate all future Bioware games will be half done and modders need to rescue it for free.

The Virmire Survivor got a cameo appearance in ME2 when they should have gotten another section post Collectors Base. I hated how she is always suspicious of Shepard but in the grand scheme of things it makes sense. It is more realistic had the VS do that more so when TIM intentionally f--- up Shepard relation to keep the Collectors Base all to himself: The process of getting back wherever as friends or more should have started post Collectors Base, heck even receiving an email from Anderson and the VS regarding the choice of that place would have been welcomed. Imagine going to the Citadel post that mission and you visit Anderson and run into them meeting the Council (Udina included) as well the VS discussing Shepard and we enter. As the Council just asks us what brings us here we hand Anderson the datapad Joker gave us and angrily ask them if they were holding out on helping Shepard while humans got turned into a paste because all of them wanted the Collectors Base to themselves like TIM did and hence why HE was their source of knowing Shepard was alive all along. As a Paragon player I would be taking more than one Renegade interrupt in the conversation to be fair. For good measure I would take both Legion and Miranda as squadmates and call upon Mordin and Samara if they want more witnesses and want to label the crew as traitors. As we would be exiting that meeting the audience is left in shock as to how big they messed up (if Shepard destroyed the Base) specially if Shepard and Miranda told them how he was for two years in a table without any option but they decided to use Cerberus aid anyway. Having the Arrival DLC not done yet it also opens the possibility to start on getting along again with the VS but then it spirals into questions about what happened and that they both would have to wait for the date they planned. But before that as we are getting into the Normandy we see that at least Anderson and Williams in this case reached him and present their apologies, to which the player can chose to respond or pick the neutral route of staying quite. If the Base was Destroyed a tour of the ship opens up for both of them and end in Mordin Solus laboratory (they would have seen the Captain Cabin by themselves) where Mordin helps fills them out more on a lot of the mission that Shepard didn't get to share with the Council: that the lab has been screened for bugs and other devices. Lair of the Shadow Broker would also throw something else in the way of Tesla Vasir death and Overlord would throw David fate.

I have video of the best moment of all in ME2, the moment when you and Williams have a fight due to TIM pitting you against each other and using the Virmire Survivor as bait. F--- you Bioware for not giving this scene a follow up in ME2:

Best video for Ashley you're likely ever going to find imo. Good arguments to use against folks who refuse to understand her.
