Mass Effect 2
Game » consists of 21 releases. Released Jan 26, 2010
After a violent death by an unknown force and a timely reanimation by the human supremacist organization Cerberus, Commander Shepard must assemble a new squad in the seedier side of the galaxy for a suicide mission in the second installment of the "Mass Effect" trilogy.
I hope you like the new Normandy, Subject Zero...
...cause you ain't ever leaving it.
Once I'm forced to rescue you from whatever death-defying act you've got yourself in, you can sit your boringly bitchy ass right down in my ship and never see the outside world again cause I ain't taking you anywhere.
I viewed your introductory trailer on XBL last night and good lord, you are trying way too hard to be edgy and over-the-top with the attitude. You are pretty much offensive to all five senses and I can see that roaming around the galaxy with someone like you is going to be about as much fun as eating a headache sandwich.
Me and Thane are gonna be over here alright? Enjoy being lonely. Perhaps you'll be killed and can hook up with that Nazi Ashley Williams in Hell. Hope springs eternal.
" I want Shepard, Subject Zero, and Miranda to get a threesome going on in the Normandy. Also, was I the only one who kept Ashley Williams alive? It sounds like everyone hated her. "No- i wanted to 'romance' her- so she lived
I personally like the way she's looking right now. I'll pick her up right after I go to Omega and recruit the three(?) squadmates there.
EDIT:
@Andorski: I liked Ashley and kept her alive for most of my playthroughs. But yes, most people either hated her and killed her or only wanted to have sex with her.

Ashley Williams was a blight on the universe. I only spoke to her in the garage of the Normandy so I could tell her to STFU. Then I left her to die and felt awesome about it. WHO'S INTOLERANT OF ALIEN RACES NOW WILLIAMS?

LOL
" I want Shepard, Subject Zero, and Miranda to get a threesome going on in the Normandy. Also, was I the only one who kept Ashley Williams alive? It sounds like everyone hated her. "i kept her alive as well. didn't really matter because i didn't use Kaiden or Ashley
"I want Shepard, Subject Zero, and Miranda to get a threesome going on in the Normandy. Also, was I the only one who kept Ashley Williams alive? It sounds like everyone hated her. "She killed Wrex. She deserves to be hated.
Also, I remember her being the most flagrant bigot in the game. Her physical attractiveness does not justify such gravitational character pitfalls.
You are a little late to the party, but otherwise I totally agree that Sub-Zero (I did it for the lulz) exemplifies everything bad about Bioware's characterization, at least on a surface level. I am considering just saying "fuck you" and not recruiting her at all, but that would mean I would miss out on points. So I won't recruit her on my second playthrough instead.

While I'm sure the intent was to portray someone who had humanity's interests first, she came off as a bit of an obnoxious bigot, comparing aliens to animals and such. I romanced her on my most recent playthrough anyways, because really, Kaiden isn't much better.
Makes me sad that I let Kaiden die...but he wasn't very interesting anyways.
I don't see why everyone hates Subject Zero, she doesn't seem that bad.
"My problem with her is that she seems like the video game character equivalent of some white trash who wanders aimlessly around shopping centres with PROUD TO BE A BITCH pink t-shirt because she thinks that makes her awesome/interesting instead of dumb/out of touch. No thank you ma'am.

Did no one pay attention to Ashely in ME1?! By killing her you gave her what she wanted! She wanted to be a space martyr cause her grandfather was the only human to surrender to aliens, ever! Keep her alive to suffer!
That being said I kill her 90% of the time.
"Did no one pay attention to Ashely in ME1?! By killing her you gave her what she wanted! She wanted to be a space martyr cause her grandfather was the only human to surrender to aliens, ever! Keep her alive to suffer! "
Didn't talk to her long enough to hear her backstory:
"Sir, can we talk about the aliens on board?"
"STFU"
"Oh, that was my sister I hope you didn't hear..."
"STFU"
"Sir, leave me and go help Kaidan to..."
"STFU and die."
Yeah......I'm playing Solder (assault rifle for the win!) again so I'm going to need a biotic. She's tagging along. Miranda looks like a tech/biotic specialists, so she might be the Kaiden of the group. If Zero can actually handle a gun nicely, she'd be invaluable.
To be honest, I'm more worried that she'll lose her shit and try to throw somebody out of a window. That's my job.
I winced so many times during the SZ trailer it's not even funny.
"Why? Well.......fuck you", yeah, no thanks. Goddamn, some of the worst dialogue I have ever heard. If she's as bad as she seems, she is never coming out of the Normandy......ever, unless I need her for a specific quest. Man, just.....terrible.
Eh, she's human, what do you expect? I never liked humans anyway. Kaidan was ok, but really boring, and Ashley...nuff said?
That said, Miranda doesn't look too bad, for now, until she starts being as annoying as Ashley.
Wrex+Garrus = Win.
Also, Tali was more attractive than Ashley in my opinion.
It's going to be hard when I kind of cheat on her with Miranda.
Miranda just has such a nice ass...

"Well, given how Miranda is a Cerberus agent, it would be safe to assume that she's Xenophobic.
And this character would be perfect for making that decision lol. ;-p
I haven't taken a liking to any of the new crew members yet. Grunt is kind of "meh" because he isn't the "Old, knowledgeable bad-ass" Wrex was. Thane looks okay. Miranda and the new human dude look "forgettable". Probably never going to use Sub. Zero unless there's the whole "Party member with you 75% of the game" achievement that gives you a buff.
Totally forgot there was a new Asari. Heck, I'd just roll with me (Adept) and Tali if I could.
Guess it comes down to actually playing the damn game. But so far they don't really catch my attention.
To give the Bioware art department some props, I'm glad they made Zero a fully-tatted up bald headed chick. They could have really taken the easy way out and made her just a hot chick with purple hair and a nose piercing.
I'm interested to see how the "romance" sub-plot works out with Zero.
She seems like the kind of girl who gets off on choking dudes.....
"...am I the only one who likes Zero? "
Nope. Been interested in her since she was revealed.
I can't help but think that Sub-Zero is a result of EA's insistence for ME2 to be a "cooler" game than ME1. I could be wrong, and hopefully Bioware has a plan and compelling back story for this character concept. From the video it just seems like they are trying so hard to appeal to a new and different audience. I understand that increasing your fan base is always beneficial, but I am just unsure about the execution here.
I don't really understand all the hate. If you look at her back story she has basically been through hell and back. If that happened to me I would have a chip on my shoulder too. I'll wait to actually play the game first before prematurely judging the character. Who knows she might be really cool.
I think it's just her visual style that turns people off rather then the personality.
Also we're just not used to bald tattoo'd females.
