This was a truly masterful tribute video. Its not easy to encapsulate the rollercoaster of emotions that an Ash romance takes you through but this one does it perfectly

I don't view her as a racist. She just has different viewpoints from the other characters due to the fact that her family had been part of the first contact war. I actually like her as a Character and romance option

Ashley is the only crew member who's openly hostile towards aliens, and I think that's a big turn off for a lot of players. With Tali, Garrus, and Liara being the series favorites, it's not a surprise that the human who begins the franchise distrusting them gets labeled as a bad character. But she has a _very_ valid reason for being distrustful. She comes from a family where the military is everything. To Ash, honor is important and to live with dishonor is worse than death. The First Contact War and her father surrendering to the turians blacklisted her family name. She's been denied and rejected and ridiculed her whole career based on that one incident. So she sees all aliens as untrustworthy because of that one incident's affect on her life. She's always had to prove she was worth respecting because of something that, in her mind, the turians are responsible for. She knows the Council will look out for their people first because it's what humans would do. She knows humanity must prove it can stand on its own if it ever hopes to be respected. But she does grow to trust Garrus and Liara with her life, and actually becomes quite good friends with Tali. It's their species as a whole and more specifically their government she has a problem with.

the only problem with her romance is that she's got such low screentime compared to literally everyone else (other than Jack lol). I want to be able to be with the chick I like and take her on missions, but NOOOO, in ME2 she's entirely absent, in ME3 she's missing the whole of the first half. Always puts me off when considering a new run.

There is nothing more I hate when people change the default appearance of commander Shepard... They never should of added that feature into the game.
