But did you ever meet Conrad Verner? He's the best part of ME1.

Yes, completed his questline. Loved the guy

i got to talk to sovereign and i couldnt play any more of it

Pippen · July 11, 2016, 05:39:52 PM

Aaaand we're back.

I am going to go one more time through these games. This time as FemShep.

However I need someone to tell me.

Should I romance Kaidan, or Garrus?

Pippen · July 11, 2016, 06:17:06 PM

Oh and by the way.

I looked up Tali's story in ME3 if you went the romance route(with Geth and Quarians working together)...

It wasn't bad...I liked the stuttery, shy romance in ME2 but I can at least enjoy the moments with Tali if I ever get ME3 again...on PC and can bring my save over.

I need ME3...

You can't romance Garrus in ME1

I am continuing to ME2 again

Pippen · July 14, 2016, 07:48:42 PM

Welp

It's been a couple days but i'm finally doing it.

ME1-ME2, as FemShep.

Let's see how different it is.

Pippen · July 14, 2016, 08:35:12 PM

I forgot how horrible human female faces looked like in ME1.

My god.

Pippen · July 14, 2016, 09:11:59 PM

Damn Jennifer Hale is a good VA for Femshep.

Luciana · July 14, 2016, 09:17:25 PM

Only problem I have is when she goes full on low and raspy sometimes when you pick some Renegade options. I mostly have only seen in ME2 though. Comes off as her trying too hard.

And my god I have to get used to wonky controls again.

I mix both up because being purely evil and purely good is just stupid to me. Of course I'll go Paragon in big situations, but normal convo with people? I expect her to get annoyed sometimes or throw a joke here or there. Keep her as human as possible. Especially in Mass Effect 3 where you have the option to snap at someone. Feels natural to me due to all the pressure and despair she's feeling.

Nono

When I say paragoning I mean most major decisions. I like some of the renegade responses for filler conversations

Luciana · July 14, 2016, 10:20:49 PM

Oh, GOOD!!!!!!!!!

Pippen · July 14, 2016, 10:35:05 PM

Aaaah

It's soo hard to recruit tali because I know there is absolutely no way to romance as femshep.

I cri evritiem

Pippen · July 14, 2016, 11:23:57 PM

Okay so.

As far as FemShep VA vs MaleShep VA, I see the pros and cons now.

MaleShep: Fits way better in the military standpoint, has the perfect voice for it. Also Mark is pretty consistent in his voice acting. You barely ever notice any cracks. However he has a pretty poor way of showing emotion for anything, which makes it a little awkward to do any romances because he still sounds like a military officer.

FemShep: Varied in her tones and emotions, definitely allows for more personality compared to MaleShep. Definitely nicer to listen to. However consistency is not as good. She can sometimes be way too quiet or sound a little too disinterested, she sounded like that when saying "interesting" genuinely...

So both have their pros and cons. Which I personally like better? Neither. They are both good.

Pippen · July 24, 2016, 08:41:45 PM

Still playing this btw.

And I have to say. The Councilers are a pain in the ass always. However the only one I really don't like is the Turian one, the other two can be reasoned with.

At least in ME1.
