Mass Effect is eating my brain Post #2
So, I'm still stuck in Mass Effect. Started with 2, finished 3, then turned around and got a copy of 1 so I could do the whole thing over again. It really made everything different - it's a completely different experience to my first play-through (and I haven't even tried playing as Renegade, or as Male Shepard.)
I am boggling at the sheer amount of work that had to go into this franchise.
And building my own headcanon.
My femShep's very best friend is Garrus. She trusts him more than she trusts anyone - and how he knows she does is this: she let him shoot Sidonis, even though she was disturbed by the act.
Sixty years after the demise of the Reapers, there is a very popular series of buddy-cop movies based on the adventures of Shepard and Vikarian. Neither of them live to see it.
When she has sex with Kaiden, my femShep sometimes pretends he's speaking with Garrus' gravelly voice. She would die of embarrassment if anyone ever knew.
My femShep is obsessed with fixing other people's problems. She knows that it's because her parents were killed on Mindoir and she was unable to do anything but watch. She can't seem to stop doing it, though.
My femShep tries to always take the high road, but she has to keep a tight reign on her temper. She's not always successful.
My femShep never told Kaiden that if he'd been the diversionary force, she'd have let him die, because blowing up the base was the primary mission. She pretends that she didn't know all along how it would play out.
My Shep couldn't stand Ashley and her racism. She doesn't miss Ashley, and often forgets about Virmire. When the crew bring it up, she pretends to be grief-stricken, but in reality, she doesn't care. She sometimes worries about what that means.
Five years after the demise of the Reapers, Shepard becomes the Councillor for Earth. She's good at what she does; but she hates her job and looks longingly at the Alliance ships docked along her route to the rebuilt tower.
What's your personal headcanon like?
