MASS EFFECT IS SRS BSNS
"Whereas Mass Effect 2 was sort of stylishly dark - cool and slick, this is much more of a full-scale war feel. You don't really have the luxuries, and you don't have the sense that you can for sure win.
"Deep down, you know that it's going to get ugly and there are things that are going to be lost, even if you win."
Hudson told GI that BioWare's intention is to make the beginning of Mass Effect 3's story "hopeless", but later "you start finding a reason to believe".

EMPHASIS MINE. OBVIOUSLY. AJSKLJFDSKLAJF OH GOD IF KAIDAN DIES AFTER ALL OF THIS I WILL MURDER SOMEONE. STRAIGHT UP.
I know this makes me a horrible role player but I CANNOT PLAY THROUGH WITH MARIAN FIRST. I CAN'T. I WON'T. I am way too attached to her and fuck it, she WILL GET HER GODDAMN HAPPY ENDING. (Maybe not a ~riding off into the sunset~ happy ending, but definitely not THE WORST ENDING EVER. I can't do that to her.) I don't care if I'm Doing It Wrong, it would break my little heart. Now I just have to decide who to go through with first.
I was thinking Leo, because he's my second favorite and he romanced Ashley so EEEE right there omfg. BUT I still haven't decided if I want him to stay loyal or not. I feel horrible. Because Miranda's awesome too. And, idk, I just feel like starting something with Miranda is something he would have done but of course, he's still in love with Ash. BUT ASHLEY DESERVES BETTER ASFJKASLFJ UGHH. And I want at least one person to stay loyal to her and he's the ONLY OPTION cause the only other guy I have is Noah and I saved him for Tali :> (Oh, and he Virmire'd Ashley, so there's that.)
So then I was thinking Adaia first, so I could see what happens when you're not ~loyal~ and then decide what I want to do with Leo from there. But I don't really like Adaia. I mean, she is pretty low on the list of favorites. I prefer AU!Adaia who I've stuck in Marian's game as the doctor Kaidan has drinks with :>
I could play Stana, because she's my NO ROMANCE SRS BSNS Shep.
IDK WHY IS THIS SUCH A DIFFICULT DECISION???? OR THE REAL QUESTION: WHY AM I MAKING IT SO DIFFICULT???
HOWEVER, ONE THING IS CERTAIN: I will pre-order the hell out of this game at a GameStop that IS NOT IN THE MALL AND I WILL GO TO THE MIDNIGHT RELEASE AND IT WILL BE EPIC. ALSO I MAY NEED TO WEAR A DIAPER? LOL I AM JUST THAT EXCITED, YOU GUISE.
