12: Favorite non-combatant?
I would say Aethyta, but I think she technically counts as a combatant, so Dr. Chakwas. Where ever would we be without space mom? I think she plays an incredibly important role in the Normandy so I can’t see the crew without her.
13: Who did your first Shepard leave behind on Virmire?
I don’t exactly recall if this happened on the first or second run, but I believe Kaidan was the one I left behind, because I didn’t think the game would actually do it. Aren’t games supposed to have those heroic, last-minute saves when all hope is lost and all the jazz?
My reasoning was that, Kaidan with the tech experience was the logical decision for the bomb, and since we were already on the way to assist Ash at the AA Tower I thought that it would be closer and thus save more time if we got her first then went back to Kaidan afterward. I bought Mass Effect after playing Life is Strange, where there were some consequences based on time, so I thought the decision being made there was the sequence in which the events occurred. In any case, I made that decision quickly and without thinking and there was a lot of shock after. I wish I could save both.
26: Who do you wish was available as a romance option?
On my first run I was pretty much in love with Tali for all 3 games until that Liara talk in ME3, so Tali for f!Shep would have been my first pick. After a few games I think Miranda for f!Shep is also very interesting to explore, so I think I’ll go with that one.
Also, hi gopher! Hope you’re doing well 🐹
