Comment on Mass Effect 3 by RickF7666
Well your not the only one who can occasionally take a while to reply. As for the form of your replies I'll leave that up to your judgement. Unfortunately, Koobizmo.com has become a bit overly quiet. Ever since they started their chat channel the web site has become a bit of a ghost town, not to mention, that I've rarely gotten any response to any of my posted ideas.
I also use to read a fair amount of Mass Effect fanfic, but I've all but stopped as I found that most fanfic seems to disregard the established history and personality of the characters to such a degree that I question if they are even the same character. As an example having NPCs romancing other NPCs who are fundamentally different, ie. Jack and Miranda, but also making heterosexual characters homosexual. Now I personally don't have a problem with homosexual romances and that is what Shepard is for. That is the one character you can do anything with, but the others should remain as they were originally written. Which brings me to yet another problem I have with ME3, making Kaidan a broshep romance option. Broshep already has way more romance options than femshep so why did they alter Kaidan? It's not like they took any of the broshep romance ladies and make them romancable by femshep, like Ashley who is Kaidan's counterpart, and I've seen plenty of art and fanfic where Tali is romanced by femshep.
Speaking of romances, I find your portrayal of the Shepard/Garrus romance interesting. Normally I'm not a fan of the nonhuman romances as there are a lot of associated problems, such as humans are soft and squishy where as Turians are decidedly not. In addition Turians have no lips so there can be no kissing to speak of. Now I've read where Turrians use biting as a form of affection, which strikes me as being quite painful for a human partner. This sort of thing was played for comedic effect in ME2 if you talked to Mordin. I don't think you've gotten to this part of your story as yet and I find myself in anticipation with regards to how you decide to handle this.
As for what I have planned for my ending of ME3, it features the return of Shepard's father. And if you've read my story about him you might have an idea of what that could mean for her final confrontation with the Reapers. I think it would be a nice bookend to my fanfics as the story of her father was the first ME fanfic I wrote, but if you've read my other ideas for my ME3 rewrite that might be one of the least deviations from the game that I have planned.
