    I am not trolling, Jack has wonderous, Sarah-Brightman-in-Repo! lips. Combine that with her voice and she's quite the gal.

    I know, I just didn't want to say it.

    I would've just followed up with something terrible.

    Dox, on the other hand, would've done that and post a terrible picture.

    Woot, beat it for my first time just now. Put it off because I originally beat ME1 on PC, but then now I have a 360 and got this as a gift... but didn't want to play without importing. Had to pick up ME1 for 360, teared through that and then finally got to enjoy this gem of a game.

    Now I just need to load up a pre IFF mission save I left so that I can get paramour by getting under a certain someone's mask. Catching up with Liara should really give you the achievement :( Also sad I didn't have anyone to feed my fish. They died on me more than once :(

    The idea is that you keep a completely professional relationship with her so she won't get pissed off, then she can murder some collectors for you.

    Unless you're Miranda and call her to your office to pick a fight, then complain that Jack isn't getting along.

    I know. Shepard's childhood was like so awesome.

    And when the Batarians attacked, he single-handedly held them off(with a minigun turret I like to think).

    Nah. The idea is that you use the super-powerful, disciplined asari who you can trust up until the mission is complete, and then turn her code of ethics against her if she gets uppity.

    You stick the psychopath under the engine and hope she doesn't have a moment and blow out a bulkhead.

    Colonist Shepard was basically the equivalent of Bilbo Baggins in the Battle of five armies during the attack on his home planet

    except more useless

    and probably crapped himself

    Shepard nearly died.

    Seriously, in the conversation with Talitha, Shepard mentions she didn't get grabbed because she and her parents fought...

    Which meant the Batarians called in an airstrike. Mom and dad died, and Shep got close enough to be ignored until Lt. Zabaleta showed up with the other alliance troopers to tend to survivors.

    Not unbadass, but a low point on the record.

    Exactly.

    They called in an airstrike to deal with civillian resistance. That indicates a nice amount of damage.

    Hmm. Now I'm wondering what all partymembers line up more or less with one of the origin set ups.

    I mean, Ash is a Spacer Sole Survivor. Wouldn't be surprised if someone else lines up.

    That implies Zaeed ever spent more than a month without everyone he knows dying. And Ruthless loses a squad too, which seems more Zaeed's style.

    Jacob's a War Hero, I suppose.

    Makes War Hero look worse.

    Ruthless is the best background because it gives Shepard the earliest possible reason to hate batarians, a debt she later tendered in the bloody bunkers of Torfan, surrounded by the dead of both sides.

    Vengeance paid, [strike]Sidonis[/strike] batarians.

    Correction- Earliest possible chance to slaughter them like the dogs they are

    The Colonist background involves Batarians but involves Shepard being a little pussy and letting everybody die

    Not everybody. Colony survived. Just all the pussies who couldn't take a little high explosives. And War Hero is the first chance to kill them.

    Ruthless is simply more thorough.

    I recently made a new Adept Shepard, who despite being named Diego looks visually like Steve Rogers, and has a Colonist/War Hero background. Perhaps it's silly but I mentally picture the only reason why he wasn't captured by the slavers due to his biotic abilities sparking for the first time in one massive omnidirectional Throw that tossed every Batarian near him up up and away. Then he face-plants on the ground unconscious with debris falling and hiding him until the Alliance rescuers found him. Maybe I thought too much about it though...
