Did anyone else get angry that the "hot"(its a game character) human character is so ungodly annoying while the intelligent one is an fairly "ugly" alien

(SPOILERS) Did no one play as a woman? Then you can bypass all the romantic stuff with Ashley the racist, and then cut her loose when you have to chose between her life and Kaidan's. Good thing about leaving Ashley to her fate is that she gets killed fighting for what she was reluctant to uphold in her life: racial equality and co-operation between species. Decisions in "Mass Effect" run deep.

Meh she didn't really bother me. Neither were that great but at least the other girl was intelligent. To tell you the truth i barely even paid attention to the whole romance thing but i really enjoyed all of the other characters.

Every character who was based around the romance plot annoyed me.

OMFG, I didn't know that when you choose who to send on the mission they die!!!!!!!! I just got to that point in the game and I think I chose to send Kaiden........... FUDGE....

Maybe more notice on what part of the game the spoiler is for, rather than romance....

Seriously Deep thought there. I kept her alive in the hopes that she would learn to be tolerent of other species. Which by the end of the game was essentially true.

To tell you the truth the best female character in that game was tali...I wanted to be able to have a relationship with her...I would have killed the two other's just for her.

I actually enjoyed Tali's back-story the most too. Used her for most of the game. Hope we gat to see more of her race in Mass Effect 2. The first, and only, time i played the game I didn't do the blue alien's (forget her name) mission till last so didn't get to talk to her at all. Don't really have the time to play again so will most likely not see it. Did I miss much?

I've played as a woman and I did just that. When I sacrificed her, I didn't think of it like that. Well spotted;)

Anyway I don't think Liara is ugly, she's nicer than Ashley in my opinion, hence why I chose to do the romance sub-plot with her instead.

(spoiler) You still get the option to save either. You can either go back for the one you sent or opt to save the other.

Yeah. Off topic but, it just makes so much more sense for Ashley to be the one to get killed. Her character, her class, her and Kaidan's abilities. I thought Kaidan was ok but I hated the alien (Liara?) and Ashley. After my first playthrough to get the achievement I just stopped having romances while playing as a guy and I killed Ashley every time.

Agreed, and you don't even know what she looks like.

With both the playthroughs I did, My character(male both times) had relations with the Asari and with Ashley. Ashley is better.

Hey I played Mass effect when it first came out and really liked it. Now I'm playing it again because I heard the actions of your decisions affect the next game. My friend also mentioned that he he got the blue alien and ashley to fight over him and he chose to bang ashley. Because that sounds hilarious, i have been trying to get to that point in my playthrough by sweet talking them both. I just talked to ashley about some holiday that her family celebrates and how her grandfather surrendered to aliens and blah blah blah, responding favorably throughout. Then I talked to the alien, who had a dialogue option "Can we talk" appear, so I chose it. She started talking about asari sex and how its a cosmic connection that stuff and i sweet talked her as well. Then I go back to ashley and this time "can we talk" appeared to her as well, only she responds "actually i should clean the guns, they wont clean themselves". Did I screw up. I read on the wiki that you gotta tell the alien at some point "ash is special" to keep them both strung along, which I did do. Any ideas? Footnote: I have a girlfriend, and I'm not a virgin. Spare your comments about me needing to get out and actually trying to get laid. We're all posters on a gamespot forum, which puts us in the top tier of nerdiness by default. :-P

I prefer Ashley's looks, but Liara's character. So, I made an Ashley-like Shepard, and got off with Liara!

I thought the blue chick looked fine. This is the age of blue people.

I'm blue, da da de da da...

I killed Ashley, because I thought it made sense for the mission. Kaiden is a technical specialist, so I thought he should deal with the bomb. Then, when he and Ashley were both in danger, well, the bomb's the mission priority. I had to rescue Kaidan simply because the mission demanded it.

Wow, a lot of Ashley hate here. I thought Kaiden was terrible. I think he was supposed to be Carth on annoyance steroids. I never let him live.

Agreed, this should have been an option. I thought Bioware wanted to be innovative.

I was always under the impression that people preferred Ashley over Liara. I did. But I guess I can understand the appeal of Liara. There's something appealing about blue chicks. Liara, Aayla Secura the blue jedi, The Avatar chick when you realize it's really Zoe Saldana, Smurfette. I get it.
