She stated many times that she hated and distrusted them. The first time you talk to her in the Normandy, she questioned your orders to allow them free reign around the ship. That's xenophobia man.
The issue with her grandpa was over the fact that he was the only human admiral to ever surrender and what has her sister (Shanxi right?) got to do with anything?
Throughout the entire game, she constantly makes you 2nd guess any attempt to give aliens any power (Especially those scenes after missions where Liara offers to help)
Added on February 18, 2010, 12:33 amWhat I meant with that Carth remark was, that Carth came back in the sequel as an admiral. So, by ME3, I'm guessing Kaiden/Ashley won't just be a lieutenant/Gunnery Sergeant anymore.
I don't remember being able to change Ash (Or any other character for the matter) in ME1. You *can* convince her that her thinking is bad or whatever, but in the next cutscene, she still exhibits the same xenophobic behaviour.
No Bioware game to date has allowed you to shape how an NPC grows. In most cases, you're just a catalyst for a change that happens out of your control.
Only Obsidian did with KOTOR2.
Psst, her sister's name is... err... it starts with L I think. I remember her saying she has 3 sisters?
Shanxi was the colony mentioned in her story on her granddad.
Yes... Admiral Carth. Shudder.
Maybe not as much as KotOR2, but here are some examples. Note, I did rush through KotOR2.
Dragon Age : 'Character hardening' of Alistair and Leliana.
Mass Effect 1 : Influencing Kaiden until he calls Udina a '*******'. I can't remember if he does this even if you don't play female Shepard and kill Ash.
Making Ash less xenophobic.
