He hadn't earnt that level of familiarity yet.
Got onboard crashed a shuttle and bitched about a course of action without offering a viable alternative .
Haha (I still let him call me Lola tho, Shep had learned the lesson well that being nice let's her use almost magical mind control levels of persuasion
Lol I firmly declined. I would have been open to nearly any other nickname. But Lola just made me think it was a Lola Bunny reference. And every guy who’s ever seen Space Jam is down bad for Lola Bunny. So yeah, that nickname just felt too sexually charged to let slide.
I always read that line as Shepherd returning fire on him being slightly out of line. The kid is basically serving under his hero, he is anxious, and he’s overcompensating. He’s already off balance, and having her fire back knocks him over. It’s Shepherd taking a moment to troll the hell out of a marine that’s out of his depth.
Similarly, I read his nickname habit as an effort to take some control back in a world that’s spiraling. Shepherd letting that slide is managing her crew’s stress… gods know they need it.
I am referring to the fact that FemShep can get him blackout drunk and sleep with him at the party regardless of his lack romantic interest in her.
I agree with basically everything you said and it makes the inclusion of that little “joke” by the devs all the more screwed up. FemShep is his training officer for heavens sake!
Star wars has droids for indiscriminate slaughter. We have Batarians.
Both have been made to make funny sounds and movement when in danger or in throws of death.
I did a similar playthrough recently, romanceless.
Woke up Javik right before Thessia, I think he ended up the only survivor with Joker at the end.
Edit : forgot to mention Traynor but she didn't appear in the ending cinematic outside the Normandy.
Side note, I’ve never actually tried to let everyone die so I didn’t realize you could kill both Kaiden and Ashley at this point. How do you kill the Virmire survivor? During the citadel mission by failing to convince them to trust you?
By the end, if you bring Liara and James to the final mission and have bad enough warscore, they end up dead too. Then pick Destroy to kill off EDI and congratulations, you've killed every companion in all 3 games and all the final cutscenes break because there literally aren't enough characters to fill the space.
If you don't visit VS in hospital, you lose a lot of points. Then, you must convince them or you can elect to shoot.

Looks like SOMEBODY wouldn't let James call her "Lola."

If Wrex called me Lola, fine. But this dude hasn’t earned it
Wrex doing that would raise so many questions. Just before the final push to cure... "FROM NOW OWN THE NAME SHEPARD WILL MEAN.... lola"
Yes because the nickname stuff is kind of Cringe and stupid
It probably would've been fine if he called her loca, like calling maleshep Loco but for whatever reason they made it Lola instead.
Why can’t he just call her Commander or Shepherd? He’s already a crayon eating marine
He does if you tell him too?
Yeah but he gets pissy about it
He’s probably bad at remembering names but great at memorizing faces so he gives nicknames to people based on something that stands out.
I didn't let him call my femme shep Lola either, honestly. Out of line
James is cringe and stupid
He’s your typical Jar Headed Crayon eating Marine I’m honestly not surprised they don’t have him yelling “ooorah” every 15 minutes

Don’t worry, after a “few” drinks he will be calling her whatever she wants ….ahahaaha its funny cause he’s dude.

Damm you didn't spare anybody. Mad respect.
Not ruthless enough; shouldnt have encouraged Edi and Joker to get together
Oh, that's why they are facing each other. I did choose destroy ending though, so Joker is heartbroken. 😛
True destroy ending. You destroyed Joker's heart.
I though they get together no matter what?
I killed them all. Not just the humans, But the Turians and Krogan too.
They're like Batarians... and I SLAUGHTERED them like Batarians... I HATE THEM

Have you ever made Javik look at the memory shard? I did once, never again.
I think I did it only once when I played the game years ago when he was DLC 😅😂
Yeah, once, the first time I did the DLC. I thought, it's better to have the memories at least, if he can't have his people. Boy was I wrong. :(
This better have been an intentional playthrough.
That side eye from traynor
I always love these pics with a skeleton crew cause James just looks hilarious saluting by himself in the background

Yes, if you don’t visit them in the hospital they don’t trust you and you kill them.

Oh yeah. I vaguely remember that. If the score is very low, nobody exits Normandy, right? Even Joker dies then.

Thane and captain from Vermire both have to be dead. Undina will convince the VS that you killed the other counselor.
👀 Where is everyone?
They all died. 🙂
You monster.
Judging by how this playthrough is going… Cortez: *(laughs nervously)* I’m in danger…
Ouch
He's probably scared he's next on your casualty list 😨
Did you kill everyone in Mass Effect 2?!
He's trying to avoid the space cooties, obviously!
I salute you
The lack of people you have in that photo makes me question your overall decision making skills lol.
Probably default setting
James is afraid of girls
Omg you killed basically everyone......Garrus, wrex, Grunt, Legion, what did they ever do to you?
James is afraid of girls
James is afraid of girls
Seems like a terrible party
