Did you forget about the commando squad?

I'm easy :D  I think I'd go for a human male, myself.  Shocking, eh? :)  I think we can both guess what DA would like to play as...

Ack!  0 for 2! :P

Destiny Ascension

Heck naw, but I don't know anything about commando squads. When I play a role, I wanna know as much as possible. I have no idea on ranks, rank structure, tactical structure or combat formations or tactics. I know they are strongly biotics, and are generally small units. So I could assume they operate much like a special forces team, quick hit and run attacks, followed by a series of ambushes to demoralize and lower enemy strength and numbers. I'm kinda picky with details, but usually only with my own roles.

I could do commando easily I guess, never really crossed my mind honestly LOL!

I'm tired, bleh...

Especially if she's cut off from the rest of her team, then you wouldn't have to really worry about such things.

For some reason, I liked Garrus the best out of the support characters.  His whole dilemma with doing what's right and doing what's legal is kind of an interesting one that I find myself dealing with now and then.  And besides, he and Ashley could really have an interesting dynamic going, since he can be a bit of a smart ass at times.
Your reality doesn't apply to me...

Destiny Ascension

Thats an interesting way to look at it, definitely possible. Or a sole survivor area. PLUS, if we want, we can go Terminus Systems style, since it hasn't been developed at all, except for Omega in the 2nd book, we could easily fictionalize a lot of stuff. It also gives good credit to why a quarian, Alliance Military(Or just Human) and asari commando would come across each other.

ALSO! Yes I love Garrus, especially later in the game if your Paragon. He changes for the better, but I really hope he is in the 2nd game, at least a little bit, just to see how things are going if necessary. But hes cool, I really like him for Insanity difficulty, cause his tech and combat mix make him great for fighting geth, specially mixed with Liara's biotics which can disable or instantly kill harder enemies with shields and Immunity, plus Garrus can disable weapons and shields, but also has some combat efficency.

Quarians can be anywhere. ^.^ Either on Pilgrimage or never coming back from one.

So a human soldier, an asari commado, and a quarian are in the Terminus Systems to do what?  Research Cerberus activity?  Follow up a lead on geth developments?  Test a new Mako unit that doesn't bounce as much?  (complete with bumper sticker: If the Mako's a rockin'... don't worry, that's normal!)

ZK

The Quarian wouldn't initially be with the group. Those zany Quarians.

Always underfoot, they are.  Or underclaw.  Or underfoot-tread.  Or... :P

Tali had Geth prosthetic legs.

Well if we wanna avoid the storyline all together, maybe we could base it off something not involving Cerberus(Since, techniqually, Cerberus isn't actively attacking alien races in the 2nd book, except the Migrant Fleet, so they are really only a human issue) maybe we could do something like...slavers? Mercenaries stole something very valuable to the Council before Soverigns attack, an Alliance team was sent, along with a commando squad, but in the aftermath of the attack the teams were kinda back-walled, and then a quarian comes along..to...help/get a copy of the data? :P

Just...throwing out ideas... XD

Snap, she beat me to it! :D

I can run it at highest available settings, only a few spikes of lag in insane areas(Breeding Ground, and Presidium mainly) and otherwise, runs PERFECTLY!

My computer can play Crysis on a high resolution and high graphics setting at a comfortable pace. ME is a walk in the park for my machine. ^.^

I'm up for some Rescue the Quarian :D  Kinda reminds me of Basilla Shan in KoToR 1 :D

What forum should we put this in?  Since the aliens are human-ish, do they count as exotic or no?

No, she just walks in like her avatar and storerunners just shower her with computer bits :D

Damn, if I tried that... well lets say I would be showered with bits, but not computer bits

Every 5 or so years, I shell out 2-4K on PC goodies.
