I hate the hair options. I spend way too much time looking for good hair.

I find I can't get a nose that looks like mine. Mine is just super average, not long, not short, not big, not hooked. None of these games seem to have the straight up completely average nose.

I just started a 1 to 3 replay myself and completely forgot how awful the first one's character builder is. My female Shepard just looked plain weird. Now that I'm on two I tweaked her a bit here and there and she now looks much better, but when I get to 3 I've gotta change her mouth… it still bothers me.

The Dalish role does give you some more character than the human one. Can't speak for Dwarf or Qunari cause I haven't made one yet. But the Inquisitor is a bit bland.

I find that on my first playthrough I usually go with my character basically being me. After that I go with role playing. But the odd thing is that I feel guilty being evil (which usually means being a prick). To deal with this I always make my characters in evil/renegade playthroughs as different from myself as I…

I was annoyed playing Deus Ex (the latest one) which rewards you for playing the stealth/ nonlethal approach far more than a more direct lethal way. Early in the game I want to XP to level up and here I am basically being told I need to play the game one way in order to get the best reward outcome.

That is very true. Though the history is pretty brief and I suppose there could be reasonable explanations that we just didn't see/hear. Maybe they decided to exile any Quarians who didn't manage to flee and they, later, joined the migrant fleet. That is a pretty glaring hole that should be filled.

Really? Why do you find the Synthesis choice to be morally abhorrent? I think, based on the description in the game, that it's the least abhorrent choice. Destroy is bad for the same reasons I cited above (plus EDI). Control for the reason you cited… plus being able to control the Reapers is too much power for…

I don't disagree on your overall position of collectivism vs individualism. But without actually interacting with her you can't know that the article is actually incorrect. Shepard doesn't tell her to go into hiding… he/she tells her to change her name and her appearance. When you meet her again, she describes what…

…and the blackjack!

Friends was, to me, the show I watched because it was on right before Seinfeld. It was fine, but it wasn't a show I actively tried to watch, nor did I worry about missing episodes.

"Corporate espionage. Just like in the Pelican Brief."

"You can do anything you want to me."

Is she saving their lives though? It seems like what she's doing is helping them deal with the psychological trauma of their ordeals. Not literally saving their lives, but helping them heal emotionally. I think that saving her life trumps the lack of psychological help the refugees receive.

Boo Renegade! I don't need to needlessly throw people out windows and act like a dickhead all the time to be a bad ass. My body count speaks for itself. And if anyone confuses my niceness for weakness… well they'll find out pretty quickly that they made a mistake… most likely their last one (unless a paragon option…

I figure a lot of those store owners were pretty pissed at me since every store was my favorite store on the Citadel.

The other night I was doing a playthrough for the first time in forever. Somehow I messed up getting enough paragon points to resolve it peacefully and had to choose. Which hadn't happened since the first time I had played through. For the sake of doing something different I decided to side with the Quarians.

He pissed them off… it must be. The general decline of fraternal organizations in the twentieth century is what "they" want you to think.

Steve Guttenberg objects to these crazy conspiracy theories

Season 10 has "Homer to the Max", it's worth it if only for that episode. I'm done at 11.
