Hang on that was a party God forbid the parties you've been too The only decent thing was grunt being detained and telling you why, the rest was a wake NOT a party The intimate times you'd expect just never happened, it was a poorly made B porn movie, with no porn

I can kinda see why fans would want to spend more time with the characters... but to my mind, the Citadel DLC is a betrayal of those characters, not building upon them. Shepard doesn't jump on James... James and Shepard don't do anything like that. Their NOT having sex is the basis of their reltionship in the main game. Having Shep awkwardly jump him - that's not adding to the piece of writing we loved, it's ruining it.
Other opinions are available. I don't know. At one point in the Citadal DLC Specialist Traynor is playing space chess against some woman, and the camera zooms in on her eyes and the game pauses on the shot and squeezes in the black borders and there's an orchestra sting. Like anime, you know? The game might as well have punched me in the balls. I would have preferred that.

Exactly those moments are either before or after the "party" Liara is just on a bed fully clothed after the party, was a nice touch with the piano nothing more, HELLO she's in a relationship and someone just took a dump on it going even deeper, Those moments you want to be with loved ones aren't even really touched on

This party isnt an orgy or anything though. It's just the characters you know and like just getting plastered for shits and giggles. Well if you want to, you can have a relaxing evening and talk about the good old days and raise a glass to Mordin, Legion and Thane. Kinda like the Poker scene in TNG.

That poker scene was great. But it was an ending that was built up to perfectly, not an interlude shoved into the middle of a war. Earth was not buring while they played that poker! And everything that happened in the game was in character, too - Picard didn't awkwardly start humping Troi just before the credits, you know? I like the idea of a story full of memorable characters finding a moment to wave them all off, but there is just no place for that in THIS story. The characters say goodbye in London - it's grim, it's moving, it's emotional, and everyone reminds you of what we loved best about them. I mean it's not perfect, but it fits the game. Now if Star Trek TNG suddenly changed how it ended for no other reason than fan-service and making a few more bucks, and replaced 'All Good Things' with a load of silly jokes that don't fit the characters and events we grew to love at all, and then Picard fights an evil clone of.... ohOh God. I've gone too far in a lot of places

I found the London goodbyes one of the most moving parts of the game. Even after Thessia I still didn't believe it could have an unhappy ending until Liara told me it was goodbye.

Gorvar where did my opinion change? Still think someone took a dump on it, the moment with Liara and the piano was nice, Grunts explanation was good,
If you've got down time or shore leave you want to connect with loved ones, I know I wouldn't be fully clothed after a party with my wife in bed!!!!
With this their own private party like moments on the Normandy never happened

That reminds me of another issue. Not just with ME, but most games - WHY DOES EVERYBODY SLEEP WITH THEIR CLOTHES ON? SOMETIMES IN FULL ARMOUR. When you wake up from the child nightmare and you're still wearing your boots. NOBODY WEARS BOOTS TO BED, SHEPARD.

Darth Revan used to sleep in full Jedi robes and boots. I used to kid myself it was cold on the ship. Maybe Shepard was like... so tired that she like, uh, fell asleep before she could get her clothes off...... uh.... yeah.

It would make more sense that she fell asleep at her desk tho.

Darth Revan used to sleep in full Jedi robes and boots. I used to kid myself it was cold on the ship. That was one I was thinking of. Revan in full battle armour dreaming about the star maps. Skyrim is another culprit - my wife always goes to bed in steel plate. Dumb broad.

The one example in Dragon Age Origins where you wake up without armour on that I can think of is in the human Noble Origin where you are in your skivvies when you find out that the castle is being attacked by Tim Curry. Maybe that's why he sleeps in his armour the rest of the game after that. Afterall, if you are not safe in your own castle keep where would you be?

It just doesn't seem comfortable. I also don't get the ones where your character puts on their clothes/armour immediately after sex, then goes back to sleep. That's gotta smell.
