Voiced! Ashley's Letter to Shepard (after Horizon)

Shepard-

I'm sorry for what I said back on Horizon. When I lost you two years ago, it tore me up. I prayed for you every day. I read a lot of Tennyson, thinking about you, just like I did when my dad passed. And then you came back, and it was like my prayers were answered. But I'm not who I was then, and neither are you.

I don't know what's true anymore. Part of me can't believe it's really you. I keep going back to that night before Ilos, our night... I haven't let myself think about those memories in over a year.

I wouldn't have expected you to work for Cerberus, but I know why they sent you to Horizon. I saw how many people were lost there, and if anyone can stop the Collectors, you can. I can't go where you're going, but I can wish you luck.

Just stay alive out there... Skipper. I don't know what the future holds, but I can't lose you a second time.

--Ash

Death closes all: but something ere the end
Some work of noble note, may yet be done,
Not unbecoming men that strove with Gods.

NB! I DO NOT OWN neither this audio file, nor Mass Effect. All credits go to BioWare and especially to Kimberly Brooks :D

I'm sorry, but is it eye-los or e-los? Both Sbarge and Brooks use the latter, but in-game, Liara uses the former. Did BioWare retconn it?

[alireya]

@SoaringSpartan It's pronounced as [ailos] in game-canon. As I've already said, both Sbarge and Brooks make this mistake and BioWare has nothing to do with these 2 audio letters. Voicing them was simply an act of good will from Raphael who voiced Kaidan's letter as a present to his fans on Thanksgiving Day in 2011 and later asked Kimberly to record Ashley's letter too because he was amazed and pleased by the feedback he had got after the audio version of Kaidan's letter was uploaded to the net.

@alireya

Yeah, I know the story behind the audio recordings. I'm not saying it's a big deal, it just confused me a little.

[alireya]

@SoaringSpartan I was just trying to be helpful :)

I'm sorry Ash, but remember the quarian that came with us, Tali? Well I got to talking to her and she did something that very few quarians did... she showed me what she looked like underneath her mask. I'm affraid I moved on, but I'll still remember 'our' night.

Fuck.... now I have to choose between Miranda and Ashley... Fuck you Bioware you better make Miranda fight in lingerie and shoot biotics out of her boobs with her new L4 implants that also make her boobs bigger.

[qu3ter]

@unity9 Tali showed you her mandibles, cool.

[Takhar7]

I never got invested with Ash's story - went through with the romance because everyone said it was great.. but I really liked the Miranda romance in ME2.

I've gone back and replayed ME2, and am about to finish up - have the full squad, loyal, and are about to acquire the IFF; this will be my save game for ME3, and I'm totally staying loyal to Miranda.

[alireya]

@joe3019772008 you will simply have to ignore all other love interests that are possible in ME2.

[joe3019772008]

@tom1yum2goong here,here.thats why i'm going to play both games again.but how do i choose her to be my love interest in me2 ?

[kabasky2]

@traxgames i agree with the um personal thing i guess but naaw

[CrescentGuard]

This was awesome, but I'm still not sorry for cheating on her with Tali. In fact, I went back and killed her off once I knew that Tali was a love interest. Sorry, but the xenophobia turns me off so hard that I do donuts.

[tom1yum2goong]

Ashley Williams is the best love interest and one of the best characters in this game period!! I don't care if anyone agrees with me or not I loved her in the first one and stayed loyal to here all threw out the game. And I'll be more than happy to end the series with her.
