I figure that Shepard has to be Earthborn, he just has to, otherwise he doesn't have the link with Earth itself. I mean the man who stands against an intergalactic race of super apocalyptic machine monsters has to be a representation and figure of everything we Humanity stand for. It only makes sense he hails for there and was a renegade youth, like Captain Kirk, and almost all other space faring misfits.

But is the Psychological Profile that bugs me. Is Shepard a War Hero or a Sole Survivor of Akuze?

Both have their merits from story telling points, Akuze was Shepards Crucible, whatever he was before that is meaningless and who he has become to great will power and inner strength to achieve, not to mention he gets to rescue Toombs for Cerberus, my most hated of foes.

War Hero is equally meritorious, a single man becoming the super soldier and representative of Humanity that he was meant to be to achieve SPECTRE status, not to mention being able to talk down Balok in Bring down the sky and in ME3.

Theres only one Rei Shepard! :)

I wish i could wipe my memory and keep on playing Mass Effect everytime seeing it a fresh new game ...CURSE YOU LONG TERM MEMORY!!!

FemShep is different to ManShep.

That is correct, the Femshep's voice overs are allot better then the Mansheps version, ive tried playing it trough as Male shepard 3 times, just getting stuck on the voiceovers disconnecting me, Jenifer Hale does a real good job there.

Yeah I am leaning to it heavily, since in reality none of the side missions matter, nor does Balaks presence mean of give anything to the War Effort in ME3, nor really affect ME2, in the same way Toombs utter denial of Shepard after he joins Cereberus does.

I am always a Sentinel... which I figure is A.) The coolest class in later game dues to insane combo's you can couple your skills with, B.) The bas ass shield armour, C.) Shepard has to represent the shield of humanity.... what better way that that than being the psychic tech knight class....

I see. I could never stand the soldier class, I liked the idea of being good with biotics but not **** with weapons, or tech. Omni Soldier was what I chose in the end because you could pick up the M-9 Tempest during the mission to get Tali.... TALI... and then cross spec your soldier on the Collector Ship, which I picked AR for the Geth AR you could pick up in the same mission for Tali....TALI.

Also the plot line follow a dirty dozen style plotline which I love. ME 2 also was the origins of the badass Sentinel class...being my original class in ME1 when I was barely a fan.

Yeah she does... I just don't like to RP characters that aren't my gender.... I don't make them work very well. Might try going through one day as Fem shep but for now I just need to finish the trilogy. "All things were created by the Divine, and so the glory of our faith is inherent to us all"

Because i screwed up somewhere the character i liked the most died in the end (female), but will save who it was when you played trough your game, so i dont feed you spoilers. Well neither do I but in some ways male shep makes more of a protagonist char for me to empathise with "All things were created by the Divine, and so the glory of our faith is inherent to us all"

MaleShep, Earthborn, Sole Survivor, Sentinel, All Paragon, all the time. Tali FTW! Now there are facts, and there are opinions. However, there is such a case when someone has the right opinion. This is one such case. There is no debate. But in all seriousness Liara is so very ew. I only liked her in the Shadow Broker stuff because they played it more like a buddy cop movie than an awkward, "you must romance her or else" thing. Guess I'm in the minority then. Oh well, I enjoyed her transformation from annoying to slightly less annoying. I took the whole game with an open mind because I new how much money they spent on it and I knew they were planning for a trilogy so I new they would play it safe with everything. So when that's exactly what happened I wasn't bothered by it. And that's why I couldn't come to like her. She was thrown in your face way too often. If we're talking character development I would argue that both Tali and Ash have the same if not more in terms of character development.

Kirrahe is Saved. But who from my squad shall die? Ash who I am currently romancing so that Shepards first loves dies in the war against the Reapers, a catalyst for his cause against them. Or should she live and hook up with Shepard? Or Kaiden, the best buddy and right hand man of Shepard, a fellow sentinel who came empathise with Shepard as only a best buddy can. Leaning towards Kaiden.... but I still have no Idea what to do about Ash. "All things were created by the Divine, and so the glory of our faith is inherent to us all"
