Lothar from War Craft II.

Alice and Timothy in Xenogears.

Huey and Rostam from Rudra's Treasure.

Lavitz =(.

Zack Fair. I'm getting the sniffles thinking about it.

Aeris' death hit me hard my first time....but after thinking about it I noticed how much it just HAD to happen.

Other main characters in that game?

Yeah, no.

Please tell me with a straight face that Tali was anything other than the tomboy princess, or that Garus wasn't just a young Dirty Harry in space.

What the hell does Ashley ever do in the game?

I'll admit that this I had to think about. I think she is a voice for humanity as a whole. Between Anderson and Udina's scheming with the aliens and Kaiden's seemingly apathetic assertions that you can't trust aliens but you can't trust people, either, Ash stressed the fact that the Council would only assist Earth when their interests overlapped but expected loyalty and service even when they did not. There was also the whole rescue thing on Eden which was required to make an emotional connection to what happened there.

What's your most memorable quote from Ashley?

Has to be her reciting poetry. It was just such an amusing quirk given the rest of her personality.

I do admire Bioware for making her the hardcore military type instead of a generic blustering damsel in distress (like the Asari party member whose name I can't remember), but really... I never really felt like Ashley added much to the plot.

Of course that could be BioWare's fault for taking out the ability to speak to your party members in depth whenever you wanted to, which was one of my biggest gripes with ME.

You do know that the way dialogue with your flunkies progressed was tied directly to plot events instead of the patently retarded 'have I gained a level since I've last spoken with them?' that they've used since NWN, yes? They really aren't all that different functionally. Or are you referring to the fact that you can only start an in depth conversation when you're on the Normandy?

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but it seems to me, based on what you've said, that you don't like her because she doesn't stand out from the rest of the cast, understandably since as I said earlier she's just a human and not that there was anything particularly wrong with the character.
