True, Traynor is awesome. You're right, Vega had surprising depth and I have to admit, Freddie Prinze, Jr., did a good job with that role.

I did like how a reporter actually asked Ryan: "Are you salivating, just waiting getting your hands on that D?" PHRASING!!

Well, I hate Settlers of Catan, now.

Looking like Aaron Rodgers and living in Chicago. How has he not been punched in the face?

I saw that they cancelled the DA2 expansion. Any reason why?

Honestly, why wasn't he a romance option? Varric, not Carver.

I could get behind Carver becoming a Warden. I did enjoy telling Carver off, a couple of times, in only a way siblings can. That was well done. I am curious to see if Bethany is a more enjoyable person.

True. The Dalish are kind of self-righteous assholes in DA2, though, so I didn't have much sympathy for them, in the end. Come to think of it, all of the races in this game are jerks.

I thought about romancing Fenris, but his unrelenting hate for all things magic (which is completely warranted) was off-putting, especially when he would give Merrill shit. She's adorable don't yell at her!

Agreed. Hawke exasperatingly saying: "Is there any mage we meet that's not insane?" puts it well into perspective. I can see the point of the Circle and that it is a good place for mages struggling to keep their darker influences in balance and not all of the Templars were bad, but Meredith was a friggin' nutjob.

She saw me play enough of the series that she made the request to romance Garrus; and who can blame her for that choice? Side note: If this is you first time playing as FemShep, Jennifer Hale does an amazing job with the voice acting. Way better than the dude.

No joke about the healing! I'm just glad I spent all of those attribute points on Spirit Healer on my mage character. Sir Pounce-a-lot is a clever ruse that I won't be fooled by, again.

I usually model my characters after my wife. She is such a wee thing in real life that it's funny to see her persona on screen shooting/stabbing things in the face.

You're a monster.

Thinking about it, the human choices are all kind of lame. Ashley? Racist. Jacob? Boring. Miranda? Has a nice space butt, but nothing else. Kaiden? His name is "Kaiden". Jack? Might actually be interesting to romance (I'm getting a Morrigan romance vibe here). Cortez might be an alright romance.

There is really no other choice for FemSheps. Unless you want to go for Traynor, who is super cute.

Speaking of Dragon Age, I just finished Dragon Age 2 and I loved it, especially the combat. All of the action was lightning fast and slick as hell. I played as a sarcastic mage, who won the love of a Dalish Mage. Which leads me to:

In Mass Effect I went straight for the 90% renegade, FemShep. I wanted to play as a tough as nails, no shit-taking, ass-kicking character. I found that the cynicism and anger in the dialogue choices really relayed the frustration at the various races shuffling their feet and ignoring the reaper threat.

So, he lies to his fiancee about his "best friend"? Then what happens after they get married and that "best friend" is not around, anymore? THIS MOVIE WAS NOT THOUGHT OUT!!!

Then he's gonna make them count and splode those people real good!
