The only thing I didn't like about characters like Liara and Ashley is that they droned on and on. Even if you only wanted them for sex, they had to tell you their entire life story. I'd rather be a sexless space marine recalling cool war stories with Wrex than any of the sex-filled alternatives.

When I was trying to romance Ashley (I just wanted the achievement), she wouldn't stop saying "HEY SKIPPER!" I kept on wishing there was a really drastic renegade action for those moments.

The consort didn't tell you her life story. You just to run to Chora's den and straighten out Septimus. You a got item for an off world sidequest AND some indigo alien loving


The Consort was easy, but Ashley was much more worth it to me. I don't find Asari's attractive. The attitude of the Consort was just to tell men what they want to hear and give them sex. With Ashley, you really had to break her down and thats always cool.

Too many passengers for me to join?! DAMMIT!



I'm not a fanboy, I just try to tip the balance in favor of logic and common sense.

Yeah, and the sex with the consort consists of her rubbing your face and her hand groping the wall. Not all that exciting.

Why? (LOL) Because I don't like whores?

No... Although I know you didn't mean it like this, but I read it as you like breaking down their will and confidence until they submit to your own desires

On another note, I just started the game a couple of days ago. I'm about 5 hours in and just became a Specter. I chose to go to the cold planet, I believe it starts an 'N'.

I'm really enjoying it so far, and may very well join this hype train if it continues to get better. My only complaints so far are: Not being able to skip conversations (I accidently repeated a few); very little gameplay so far; and a few technical glitches ranging from minor things like slow down and weird shadowing to the fairly annoying, like getting stuck in certain places and having to reload to become free again.

Despite all of that, the positives are greatly outweighing the negatives. I'm hopeful that divide will only widen as the game progresses.

Just his the X button to skip through conversations.  Just be careful with it. I use it now that I've beaten the game several times and I pretty have the choices memorized.

@Montana

It was joke man.



pearljammer on 18 June 2009

Wow, really? Thanks. It would seem I'd pressed every button but the 'X' one.

Your experience sounds a lot like most of ours. It will only get better with time. The positives really do outweigh the negatives, which are mainly just technical issues. As for your conversation skipping question, I wouldn't recommend skipping conversations. You use the "X" button to do so though. If you skip through a persons message before your response, sometimes it can default your response. There are very special moments in this game that I do not want you to miss, so just be patient with the conversations.

As for the "breaking of confidence" in the female companions aspect of your conversation, its not really that. It's about getting to know them, and as they get to know you, they will either love you or respect you. You can turn that tide by the way that you treat them. The only person that truly submits to you just because you save her is Liara.
