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

Actually, broShep might have to do this with Kaidan.  At least, that's my experience.

Krogan female is cool. Wrex is cool. "Run tests on sea shells." Lol oh Mordin

Steve is bawling. Wow. Get your crap together dude.

And then... The computer restarted.

I dunno guys. I think I'm done with this. Time to send it in.

Do I click something in Origins to make it save my Shepherd across computers?---Found it.

I will be sure to right before I send it off.

I'm wondering if I can't somehow finish ME3 before it goes. I don't know how long the game will take. I can already tell it's organized differently than 2 by a long shot and I'm feeling a bit lost. I've been given like 10 missions all at once and I guess I have the freedom to do them all in nearly any order. Except they all sound super important. There I am trying to save a troop gone missing under fire when I remember an entire academy of school children is already in peril and I'm like @_@

Of course, all this is imagined/perceived hurry up danger because you all told me that time isn't actually like that in the game.

Darn your computer anyways (stomps foot)... just when you let's play is getting interesting.

It kind of put me off with his crying, too.  Don't get me wrong.  I like the guy.  But that crying scene is a reason my Shepard never romanced him.  Given an existing relationship Steve has with another crew member, that person would have been better equipped to help.  Or, ya know, a certain other person might have been introduced to Steve on the Citadel docks who you could have said was his new grief counselor.

I know, right? I'm a femshep, but I was like....who would romance that mess? He's got serious issues to get through that shouldn't involve "healing through flirtation."

I went looking up thread and all I found was that I could upload the save there. I've been using my google drive but only it's google documents as the equivalent of Microsoft Word. So, I just drag a copy of the save from computer to Google Drive Folder, yes?

In other news, I finally figured out where I bought the computer from. Amazon! yay. Don' tknow yet if that is actually where I send it to, but at least the reciept/date of purchase is well documented.

Steve is a great guy.

Granted, he might be a bit awkward at first.

There's only one cringy part in his romance for me (the scene locking in his romance, ironically) but after that it's enjoying the relationship the two have together, not wallowing in the past. It's not gratuitously flirtatious beforehand like you might think.

Besides, Shepard could be a total mess too. Maybe just only in your head, but still.

That's kinda mean there, dragon.He was intentionally playing his lover's dying words over loud speaker in the work place on repeat and letting the tears fall. I'm sure that is NOT what you did and if you had, people would encourage you to stop. I've been emotional at work too- the first dead person I ever found had me in a ball in the bathroom for an hour. LAst year, my dog of 14 years died and I went to work very sad and shed a few tears on my lunch break. The dog before that had me switch shifts so I could have space to grieve. But all of that was with people I knew more than 5 seconds. I mean, this scene is literally the second time I've met the man.  The Scene was Awkward as Hell.

Some people are inspired by the Dawn Will Come scene and other people thought it was super creepy and awkward. 

I wasn't trying to offend, but I don't think it's mean to be glad that my coworkers were more understanding I think Steve's little corner of the bay is probably a lot more private than the dorm where all the crew have to sleep, though it may have been a better writing decision to have this scene happen in one of the observation lounges rather than where he works. Still, even in the lounge, any other crew member -- including Shepard -- could have walked in at any time and overheard him crying anyway, which I gather is the part you find awkward. 

As SpiritVanguard said, Steve is not actually broadcasting this. It's just loud so the player can hear it...another odd writing decision, maybe. They could have had Steve listening with headphones and give Shepard the chance to ask what he was listening to. But it is Shepard, after all, who comes over to ask questions if my memory serves. Steve doesn't go to Shepard about it.

Anyway...you find the scene awkward, whereas I find it cold to expect him to just get over it (especially given that there is no truly private place on the Normandy for him to grieve). We'll probably just have to agree to disagree




Did you have any success with Google Drive?

Okay okay, I've obviously run into some staunch fan defenders. I'll try not to judge the rest of my interactions with Steve based on the odd writing decisions of crying chat I had with him.

She will tell you to go see him... It may be that she had to tell you about some other mission opening up first... so sometimes it's a good idea to walk by closer to her station (and talk to her) both when heading forward to speak with Joker and when returning to head down the elevator to talk with others.  She quite often has an a second comment to make.  I did prefer the way they handled Kelly's notices about the crew better... that is, Kelly would repeat them if a conversation was manually triggered and Shepard asked if there was anything to know.  Traynor doesn't do that.  The notifications just get blurted out when you walk by.  Triggering a conversation with her will sometimes give you a more in-depth discussion with her about missions and her private opinions, but there is no opportunity to get her to repeat a comment about what the crew might need Shepard to do.
