My answers:
I am a fan since:Legendary Edition release (better late than never!)
Favourite game of the series?:2 wins overall, due to how much I loved learning about the new companions and all their little side quests and the excitement of prepping for the big mission. 3 has the best overall mechanics though, and the npc’s being able to banter is top notch.
MShep or FShep?:
Both, but I tend to create themsheps anyway.
Earthborn, Colonist or Spacer?:Keahi is a colonist, Blaise a spacer AU. I think all the backgrounds have juicy potential but find the idea of growing up out there in this big new galaxy exciting.
Biotics or Tech:Probably tech for my sheps, but I love having a biotic in the squad as backup. I’ll usually have 1 biotic ability as my Shep’s bonus and chalk it up to funky side effects of how they resurrected Shep in 2.
Paragon or Renegade:Generally paragon but some renegade interrupts.
Favourite Class:Infilitrator. Sniper Rifles are always my fave (or archers in fantasy games).
Favourite Companion:
Such a tough question. As there’s a romance question later, i’ll save Thane for then.
I’m also going to answer as me rather than who my shep’s would pick.
I think Mordin is honestly the companion I got most excited about going to chat with or hearing unique lines from.
And while not ‘companions’, I have such soft spots for Traynor and Cortez and consider them honourary squaddies.
Least favourite Companion:I mean there are plenty who I think have questionable morals/ideas/attitudes, but it doesn’t make me dislike them, it makes them interesting and gives fresh perspectives, so this is also a tough question.
I feel bad for saying it, but I guess Liara? Only in that she gets so much priority in 1 and 3 but I don’t find her as interesting to chat with compared to others and also found her going from nerdy excitable anxious dork in 1 to ‘flay your mind’ corpo bad bitch in 2 gave me whiplash. The fact she sold shep’s body is another point deducted. And the way she let Shepard drop like hot shit in shadowbroker too, oof. I really don’t dislike her though and still find her overall character interesting.
My squad selection:I change it up a lot so I get to hear all the different things they have to say
Favourite In-game romance:Thane, followed by Steve Cortez and Samantha Traynor. Is anyone surprised?!
Other pairings I like:Feron x Kolyat, Thane X Cortez (why romance them separately when I can put them together instead!) Femshep x Miranda.
I tend to headcanon my shep’s as older than the in game age so Jack feels too young for them, but I do love the Jack romance generally.
Favourite NPC:That one completely chill smoking salarian in the citadel DLC. Dandenbo’s icon always makes me grin reminding me of him.
Also the salarian Thane rescued who had his whole world rocked and wrote an email about it. You go you funky little horny guy.
Favourite Antagonist:TIM is interesting because you get that having to work together and resenting the hell out of it aspect in 2.
And look he’s by no means an effective antagonist, but Donovan Hock is objectively very funny.
Favourite Mission:The suicide mission. It isn’t the best mechanically, but it’s very satisfying after working towards it the whole game and getting yourself as ready as can be.
Favourite Loyalty Mission:Thane, i’m biased. Grunt’s rite of passage is also just fun.
Favourite DLC:I’ll go with 1 from each game.
Bring down the sky- I just find something pretty satisfying about pootling around shutting the 3 rockets off and finding all the little out the way side bits. And that view!
Lair of the Shadowbroker- Feron my beloved. Gotta save my boy.
Leviathan- felt like a breath of fresh air with the piecing together clues, and such a great creepy atmosphere. You really finish it feeling like ‘this may help, but at what cost?’ and it feels significant.
Control, Synthesis or Destroy:So funny story, I got so confused the first time I played and kind of panicked, completely missed that you could choose to run a different direction and just ran full pelt forwards yeeting shepard to the centre. When that activated synthesis I spent the next 40 odd minutes watching my computer in growing utter horror/confusion.
Anyway destruction is the actual choice but fuck that whole ‘this has to genocide the geth and Edi’ thing fuuuuuck.
Favourite Weapon:Upgrading to the widow is nice but I am quite fond of the M-97 Viper in earlier/lower levels, the 6 shot mag is especially favourable.
Favourite Place:I really love the brutalist architecture of Port Hanshan.
A quote I like:
I dare to assume you ignorant jackasses know that space is empty. Once you fire this hunk of metal, it keeps going til it hits something. That can be a ship, or the planet behind that ship. It might go off into space and hit somebody in 10,000 years. If you pull the trigger on this, you are ruining someone’s day, somewhere and sometime!
