Uh oh.... (Mass Effect)

[Matrix Dragon]

So, anyway, given I liked the ending, and long since got sick of the screaming, crying and complaining, I'm moving on to other stuff... I really quite liked the new crew members with screen time. James is the obvious one, given he's the squadmate, and having his story arc with Shepard be based around that of a soldier and his CO/mentor was a nice touch. Much preferred it to another love interest. But Cortez might have been my favorite. The first time I saw him, he's in the armory trading insults with James, something which continued the whole game. Their argument over the Mako/Hammerhead debate was awesome. But his character arc of getting over the loss of his husband during the events of ME2 was perfect. I have to give Bioware credit for never going 'LOOK! GAY GUY!' or anything like that. He was a widower who'd lost the love of his life, and my Shepard was simply a friend, helping him to move on. The scene with them shipwatching on the Citadel was one of the better quiet character moments in the game, I feel.
