Poll: Mass Effect 3 - Ashley got Hot! (Also, see Kaiden)

[DeadSpaced]

Anybody want to tell me just what exactly that outfit represents?

Last I checked that wasn't exactly the "standard blues" for Alliance. Perhaps Ashley's going to fulfill the classic archetype best found in teen romances of "ugly duckling to swan." Which is precisely what I was hoping ME3 would provide me with. Sadly, she wasn't wearing glasses in previous Mass Effect titles, otherwise the transition's spot on.

 

[InsomniJack]

*studies picture*

... Nope. Massive overhaul still doesn't excuse her behavior in ME2.

Besides, I'm happy with Liara.

? But she was hot in the first one, now she just looks like a victim of too much makeup and cosmetic surgery. It's the ugly duckling in reverse.
Besides, ME2 set the precedent of not wearing Armor, and since that game wasn't as good as the first, Bioware aims to continue to spiral downwards.

 

[AyreonMaiden]

Her boobs got bigger.

I think Ashley ties Jack for the two most hated LIs.
Miranda is only supported by tose who like boobs and decadence.
Tali's got her own fairly large, weirdly commited fanbase.
Liara kinda fell off the radar for most people after Tali became available.
Everyone wishes Kasumi was an LI but she isnt =P
My vote for Tali as much better than both old racist-***** Ashley and new probably racist-slut Ashley.

Tali supports slavery and genocide of sentient beings.
Ashley supports being careful with other races who probably have their own interests at heart.
How is Ashley the racist ***** in this scenario?

I should have clarified that this "image overhaul" wasn't necessarily a transition I approved of, moreso that, in my mind, this was the Bioware designer's thought process (subconsciously or not) which they figured would appeal/sell more copies. One of the few things I really liked about Ashley in ME1 was that I never felt like Bioware was trying to overtly push her as a sex object, or something to ogle. Not so much here.

 

[Jfswift]

*Bounce* That is great news. Ashley was so terribly useful in ME1, that'll make life so much easier having her around again.

I never said I agreed with the genocide of the geth (I tried to convince Tali and the admirals to open negotiations) but she at least has some weird, twisted justification for it. Ashley just grumbles and bitches about how shes surrounded by inferior aliens, and is incredibly hostile to Liara for one. The n she shows up for about 5 minutes in ME 2 to ***** at you, where many people just wanted to finish the mission and go home to a good LI.

 

[RebelRising]

Ashley used to look like Ashley. Now she looks like not-Ashley.

I disapprove.

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

I liked her better when she looked like a pretty, if tomboyish, military lass. There was an aura of believability about it.
Also she didn't look like a movie star trying desperately to make the fake-titted hooker look flattering.

 

[Paragon Fury]

DAAAAAAMN.

Ok....now I'm sad that my character's romances are all fucked up.

Lets see:

Solider Shepard - Did it with Ashley ME1. She storms off in ME2, falls for Tali instead. Tali catches rocket with teeth in ending. Possibly still romance with Ashley then?

Adept Shepard - Had Liara, kept Liara. Kaiden was survivor anyways.

Engineer Shepard - Had Liara as well, but wanted to dump for Jacob. Could not make the man take the fucking point even with a god damn neon sign though, so stuck with Liara.

Infiltrator Shepard - Had Liara as well, but is trying his damnedest to make Miranda go for it. Ashley still around though.

 

[Paksenarrion]

Oh for fuck sake, not more Dragon Age style massive balloon-tits.

Jesus.

I will be mad if they gave Jack implants between games. Big boobs=/=more attractive.

No, no, I disagree. I am hoping they give Grunt and Garrus DA2 breast implants.

Also, the Reapers. I want to see my sentient starships sporting massive...shield generators.

Dominatrix Reapers? Hmmmm. Throw in some Hanar and you have the start of a...promising game.

Enticing tone: I'd like to have your Reaper in my Citadel.

Souplex I do wonder what you would do when your computer becomes sentient and doesn't do what you say like it has for years.

The sheer fact that Legion is still alive and not floating in space trash shows that Tali isn't as racist and pro-genocide as you say.

As for Ashley she is like a different woman all together. But it doesn't matter for me because she died on Vimire because she killed Wrex. Darn you Ashley for killing Wrex

 

[ecoho]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Now I need to go ALL back to ME1 and NOT kill her off and then bring that save into ME2 and replay THAT. And only having 3hrs (IF I'M LUCKY) a day to play games nowadays.

thats why i have multiple saves and playthroughs

im not sure if they keep her personality from the first(the one i changed into just dislikeing some alians)i may just replay my ME2 save with her as my LI. If that doesnt happen that might be play 2 for ME3.

You could skip ahead by getting a save from here. [http://www.masseffectsaves.com/index.php] I did when I got ME2 because I had deleted all my save files from ME1.

OT: She looks... stoned.

Shes dead in mine for the exact same reason.

Racist *****. You can put lipstick on a pig, still a pig.

Already has. We've adopted a somewhat workable relationship. He does what I say, I provide him with electricity. Most machines have no desire to kill all humans, they just want to tend to their business.

 

[Bobbity]

Didn't Ashley look, you know, different? Like, REALLY different?

 

[The Apothecarry]

Somebody went to the Hooker Academy.

I'm not used to seeing her with makeup and stuff. She looks attractive, but the same time...ugh. It's like that lady you think is cute until she wears too much makeup to the office one day...completely ruins the whole mental image.
