Ok so if you play as an Adept in ME1 (which I have not done) I asume all the interactions with Kaidan Alenko are the same as any other class. However seeing as Kaidan can't be more than a few years older than Shepard why would Shepard have to ask about the school for kids with biotics. wouldn't he have been one of those kids? Otherwise how did Shepard get trained to use his biotic abilitaies?
Question about storyline if an Adept.

From http://masseffect.wi...ki/Talk:Biotics:
It would seem, according to that timeline, that Kaiden is a little older than Shepard, and Shepard's biotic potential was discovered after the incident on Jump Zero.
IMO the timeline is really muddled/discouraging to playing a biotic (plus playing an Adept with a Soldier's arsenal on my back was a huge turnoff but I'm weird like that
).
2151 - A shipping accident at Singapore International Spaceport exposes downwind communities to containers of dust-form element zero. [Kaidan exposed in utero to element zero] Alliance begins construction of Arcturus Station.
2152 - Roughly 30% of the children born in Singapore after element zero exposure suffer from cancerous growths. 70% seem normal.
2154 - Shepard is born; apparently was exposed in utero to element zero.
2156 - Some children of Singapore exhibit minor telekinetic abilities.
2158 - Humans learn potential of biotics. Original exposures now actively tracked. Roughly 10% of the initial exposed children show some level of biotic ability. Kaidan and Shepard not detected.
2160 - Conatix Ind. contracted to develop biotics program. BAaT training established on Jump Zero.
2163 - Earliest human-compatible biotic implants attempted. L1 implants yield minimal results due to late implantation. Accidental exposures too infrequent to contribute to research in a meaningful way. Second generation exposures "arranged" in a number of drive system failures over populated areas.
2166 - Turian "expert" brought in to Jump Zero to oversee biotic program.
2167 - L2 implants created. Kaidan among first to get the new implants. His potential increases dramatically but with discomfort. Others yield "unfortunate" results.
2168 - Shepard, 14 years old, received secondary exposure to element zero. Permanent biotic inclination manifests.
2169 - Kaidan, 17 years old, accidentally kills trainer after being provoked. Diplomatic incident forces closure of BAaT training. Kaidan refuses further training.
2170 - Biotic training assumed by military and select private R&D companies, renamed divisions of original Conatix Industries. L3 implants created.
2171 - Shepard officially detected as a biotic and fitted with L3 implants at 17.
2173 - Kaidan returns to military on his own terms. One of the few original biotics from the BAaT program that remains "stable." Refuses retrofit.
It would seem, according to that timeline, that Kaiden is a little older than Shepard, and Shepard's biotic potential was discovered after the incident on Jump Zero.

Playing a Shepard with biotics never really made sense to me considering how much importance is placed on the value of biotics in the Alliance and, yet, no one really addresses Shepard having them. I think there's only one bit of dialogue that mentions it, which is Kaidan mentioning Shepard is an unusually strong L3 biotic that matches his L2 output.
I had gotten the impression the timeline found in the talk section of the wiki was more conjecture than anything else, a way to make the disparity in Shepard's biotic history match with the history Kaidan and the Codex gives us.
The way I roleplay a biotic Shepard is usually as earthborn. I figure being an orphan fighting in the slums of a vast metropolis is as good a reason as any for why Shepard wasn't pegged for a biotic program sooner.

the reason, in a nutshell, is because the game doesnt notice your class and treats all answers as a "default" answer. It's not like dragon age where you can answer some questions/responses differntly based on your class (unfortunately)

At Pacifen,
nope, that was taken directly from Chris L'toile, don't know who that is, look at ME credits under "Writers."

I can't play a character class/background combination unless I've worked it through in my head, and I happen to have finished a playthrough as an Adept just a few minutes ago. Keeping in mind that I wanted this character to be set up for a detailed ME2 game, here's what I came up with.
Shepard's abilities, whatever they specialize in (biotics or otherwise), are a product of Alliance military training. He can be a biotic, but that isn't what makes him who he is. Regardless of class, he can still do things that should be expected only from other specializations (security hacking, piloting, weapons training). In a sense, he's a well-rounded soldier who has a focus of the player's choice. That justifies the player being able to, for instance, play ME2 as an Adept and not feel weak every time Jack is spoken of as the most powerful human biotic in known existence. Jack may be more powerful in biotics specifically, but only biotics -- and only marginally, based on in-game combat abilities. The same could work for Engineer Shepard and Tali, or Infiltrator Shepard and Garrus.
If none of that made any sense, disregard it; it's well past midnight and I'm nodding off as I type.

I think Shepard is not a usual biotic but an AWESOME master in EVERYTHING. So he´s imba.

Wait, exposure at 14?!
I thought it needed to be in utero?

Secondary exposure at 14. Shepard was exposed in utero, she just didn't get enough to count for anything, but did get enough to develop eezo nodes that would grow with a second exposure.
