For the mass effect questions hehe :D 1. How did you get into Mass Effect, 36. Funniest moment in game, 41. Fav Romance and 49. Favorite Shepard Headcanons!
That’s actually a pretty good question because honestly I’m not sure how well I remember, because I started with Mass Effect 1 not too long after it first released back in 2007. I know I didn’t pick it up immediately on release but I also started playing it before Bring Down the Sky was released, so that should give an idea as to the timeframe. Actually I think I may have gotten it as a Christmas present that year from a relative lol :D
36. Oh man, that is a doozy of a question lol I definitely want to say there was one particular moment that had me laughing my ass off but I can’t think of it right now. So I’m just going to list off a bunch of especially funny moments I can think of:
Seeing an un-romanced Traynor’s massive and hilariously awkward crush on EDI during the Citadel party, and the implications that they probably fucked that night XD
Gradually learning through the Omega DLC that not only is a Paragon FemShep absolutely Aria’s type, but that she’s trying to use Shep as a REBOUND after getting dumped by her ex-GF who for some reason is basically a genderbent Garrus. Also Aria trying to smooch MaleShep and INSTANTLY regretting it.
The freaking decapitated screaming Husk head desk ornament from the Leviathan DLC.
The one Citadel DLC elevator conversation where Tali is completely unphased by the upcoming fight with Clone Shepard and is just annoyed at all the cleanup she’s going to have to do afterwards and at the end gives that totally disaffected “Come on. Let’s go kill this bosh-tet.”
This one mod I ran for ME3 that adds more emails that has Mordin sending a hilariously passive-aggressive rant on how someone removed his old lab on the Normandy XD
41. So this is an interesting one because on the one hand, I could just say my general OTP and main Shep-ship; FemShep/Liara. But I actually have to say my favorite romance is actually Garrus/Tali because the story behind it is way funnier:
You see, I actually started shipping Garrus and Tali as far back as Mass Effect 1. I didn’t feel like shipping Shepard with either Garrus OR Tali like everyone else was (I actually quite liked FemShep/Liara back then!), I thought it was much better to ship those two with each other! Hell, I think there was a stretch of time where Talibrations was my outright OTP for Mass Effect!
However, a while after Mass Effect 2 came out and a few playthroughs, my interest in Garrus and Tali as a ship waned, owing to a combination of a lack of overall fandom interest in the ship and how much shipping Shepard with either of the two had become all anyone wanted to talk about, as well as my starting to find M/F ships in general to be rather overrated.
Which of course made it all the funnier come Mass Effect 3 when my Liara-romancing Shepard randomly found those two smooching in the forward battery and my crackship from back during the first game came to pass after all XD
49. First off, always playing FemShep lol
Shepard has a hilarious weakness for pretty and/or cute Asari.
Shepard secretly has no idea what she is doing and has been ‘faking it til she makes it’ since pretty much day one and is terrified of anyone finding out.
If not for the threat of the Reapers, Shepard would absolutely take the Normandy and her found family crew and just drop off the grid and become a freelance mercenary team and/or space pirate. By the end of ME2, she is just REAL fucking tired of all this shit.
