Description The Female Shepard I made for Mass Effect was based off of my character from Fate Saga, Rori Orvik . As a character exercise, I try to base her fighting style and decisions as closely to how Fate Saga's incarnation would be in this situation as possible.

Anyway, Fate Saga's Rori is a very aggressive, on-top-of-you type of fighter, and usually fights with her hands. For Mass Effect, I made her a Vanguard and though she does use Rifles, she also gratuitiously uses her Charge ability to jump into the fray and wallop everything in sight.

Although I liked Thane's mission, I was pretty bad at it. I kept losing sight of the target and ended up redoing the mission a good 4-5 times before I finally succeeding. In Fate Saga, she's a were-wolf and thus has a killer sense of smell/tracking abilities - but if she wasn't a were-wolf and was brought up in a futuristic setting like this, I don't think stealth tracking would be her forte.

And Thane's an assassin. Whose job often consists of him tracking his target until they're in a vulnerable position.

What the heck, Thane? What the heck? You should have had Rori run in swinging and scare the target away. She's good at that.

Admittedly, I think Thane was supposed to be looking to intercept his son while I kept watch on the son's targets...or something. But it seemed more to me like Thane went somewhere to sip a latte while I did all the espionage work (that I was totally unqualified for >.>)

That sounds about right. "Hey Kasumi, enjoy taking more shrimp then your alloted invisibitch while I do ALL the work!"

I panicked in that mission ... a lot. I don't know how I managed it well the first time considering I was yelling at the Drell and too preoccupied fantasizing on the 101 ways I should just let that turian get killed stupid.

I know the feeling! I kept losing sight of the Turian and Krogan and would run around panicking. When Thane would ask for an update, I was like "wtf man! You're better at this than I am! Ahhh!" and then I'd fail the mission.

Me too! I didn't realize you could actually 'fail' a mission until I failed Thane's for the first time.

As Krogan tap-dancer, I am offended.

"As stealthy as a krogan tap-dancing in a collector base". NOW THAT IS PURE GOLD!
