D.A. fan is back for an ME1 Text Only 'Let's Play' (page 51)

I'm hoping that I have a tragic lover death (sounds horrible to say that haha) where I bawl my eyes out and then run to Kaidan for rebound hugs.

Ahhh. Reminds me of my first PT of DAI when I broke up with Blackwall due to the lies and rebounded to Cullen. 

That's my hope, though. Very possible the timing will be wrong for that transition and my Shepherd may end in ME3 a pseudo widow.  At least there won't be any baby talk.

Then I'll do a slight recap of some things Cerberus did in ME1: they experimented on Thorian creepers, they experimented with the rachni, they experimented in CREATING HUSKS (dragon's teeth and all), they were responsible for the thresher maw attack on Akuze (Toombs and Sole Survivor Shepard are part of that), they lured another group of Alliance marines to a thresher maw nest, and they killed Admiral Kahoku when he investigated. Does that seem like your average organization that wasn't really that bad? To me, it sounds like evil.


That's fine. Just understand that they basically have the same reaction to Shepard on Horizon.

What? Come on, the line about which buildings he likes to fight in is an ME2 classic.

As for the genophage, I agree with you, usually take the exact same choice for the exact same reason (and also because I don't think they really thought through ll the social consequences for Krogan civilization. It's a fiercly debated topic among ME fans though.
Anyway, this is not the last you will have heard about the genophage.

Oh. That line. Where he said he'd prefer to fight in an antique store but only if it's classy.

Um. It was good, but I got the feeling he was serious... not as funny as when he is sarcastic snarking Shepherd by a longshot, like he did about refusing suicide missions.

Ok, now I need to know which one you are talking about.

In spoiler: 

Okay... it lost my reply part somehow... so we'll edit and try again.

You seem to specifically have a problem with Kaidan. I was pointing out that Ashley does the exact same thing. Thus, if you have an issue with Kaidan for it you should similarly have a problem with Ashley for it. The dialogue is for the "Virmire survivor" and not specific to Kaidan.

For Cerberus, sure, you can sweep things under the rug if you like, but it's all there. And at not point was I describing what ExoGeni did. I was strictly referring to what Cerberus was responsible for.

Not really how I play my Romances in a Bioware game sice my first run of Origins introduced me to video game romances.

For example:
1st PT of Origins I didn't know romance was a thing. Fell for Alistair, may have slept with Zevran, can't remember.
2nd PT of Origins right after the first was a Cousland who nailed everyone who could be nailed.

Then I finally played DA2. Slept with Isabella, let her leave. Slept with Merrill, told her to leave. Wanted to sleep with Fenris but he saw me as damaged goods or I didn't have enough points. Then Anders came along and swept me off my feet.

1st PT of DAI, I wanted Cullen, but wanted to keep my trend of Wardens. So, I dated Blackwall intending to break up with him. Then got more drama than I bargained for and honestly had a very good reason to break up with him. Then rebounded with a sore heart to Cullen.

Soulmate monogamous play throughs are for later when I'm RPing a certain character.
at the same time, I also have planned PT characters that intend o sleep with everyone.
But I'm polyamorous in real life, and have two men I call husband, so loving two men honestly in a video game is totally normal to me


Why I was trying to time loyalty missions just right because I knew eventually I'd hit a lock out point, and was doing Jacob/Kelly/Garrus/Thane simultaneously

I don't know the timing of ME3 at all. I am open to the idea that staying with Thane until he actually dies may lock me out of other romances. I'm okay with that.

but SpiritVanguard said it was possible to have Thane die in my loving arms and then rebound to Kaidan. That would be my perfect ideal.

Where Citadel fits in all that, I have no idea.
