Commander Shepard

Tuesday, October 5th, 2010

While myth is blogging about Mass Effect, I feel compelled to post my Commander Shepard. She was the definitive main character for me, in ME1 and ME2 as an import.

I have the same dilemma about replaying the game. I want to take a new character in ME1 all the way through the good ending in ME2, which would also be a male renegade. I've tried to do this in both KOTOR games (male darkside), but I never get very far.

Anyway I'm still in the unrelenting grasp of Civ 5, so I suppose it's not a matter of immediate concern :P

I find games that want you to replay the same shit as a different character to be incredibly boring. While they might have some variation, it's still the same basic plot. Civ has millions of possibilities on what will happen, so you're makin the better choice. :P

There are some books I'll read over and over again, but only a few of my favorites. It's the same for games.

Isn't playing the same shit as a different character all you do in Dynasty Warriors? :)

It's similar to Civ in that the setup might be the same, but it's never so linear as to always have the same shit in the same spot. I mean, some of it does because of troop movements, and Lu Bu does his Lu Bu thing, but overall it's not the same. Different characters have different goals a lot of the time, and playing with different weapons etc. A RPG is very, very linear :P
