"I have to ask: what was "there's some love for Kaidan, but not a lot" based on? VS-related game data? fan feedback? sth else?"

"Was having fun with how most players say they nuked Kaidan (stats confirm it). But we love him, and I know many players do too."


Also, these stats don't tell the whole story.  I have plenty of playthroughs where I nuked Kaidan, but I also have plenty where I nuked Ashley.  It's about 50/50, but in what I consider to be my canon/main playthrough I went with Kaidan without hesitation.  Kaidan is my bro, and he doesn't get enough respect.

Stats probably don't tell the whole story, but i think it's pretty safe to say that a majority nuked Kaidan rather than Ash. Since the majority of gamers are male, and the majority of gamers play as MaleShep....the majority of gamers probably save Ash (the female and possible LI) over Kaidan (the dude). Wrex and Garrus fill the 'bro' slot better than Kaidan for most individuals.

I think that's what he means Biotic Sage. People like Kaiden, just overall folks tended to nuke him. Unlike Jacob where its a little bit more of a universal dislike. For instance I almost always got Kaiden killed but its not cause I didn't like it. I just preferred Ash around.

I also didn't enjoy replaying ME1 as much as I enjoyed ME2, that's entirely a gameplay thing though. Which basically means I don't have a ME1 import with Kaiden alive even though I kept him alive once or twice in a few partial-play throughs. Have a fresh ME2 game I plan to import to ME3, and play to make ME3 fresh starts for that kind of thing. Hopefully there's some kind of ME3 starter where I get to make that kind of a choice like they had on PS3 ME2.

I actually have met more male gamers who nuked Ashley than Kaidan. They typically give the "She's Teh Racist" reply, but I also heard reasonings that they prefered Kaidan's character and more humoursly they wanted to avoid an accidental romance with Ashley.

Personally, I romanced her on my canon run through and Kaidan remains the only major character to have fallen in my save.

"A lot of us at the BSN Kaidan thread are questioning your "nuked Kaidan" stats. Seems like the default ME2 skewed the data."

"I was referring to the ME1 Virmire choice. It doesn't change our approach though - Kaidan is a big part of the trilogy story."

I'm not seeing it.

Waitwaitwait.

It's been a long time since I played DAII, but I don't think I recognize that music.
COULD THAT BE CLINT MANSELL THROUGHOUT THE BEGINNING OF THAT EPISODE?!?! :o
Or the WHOLE episode?!?!
Oh, hey wait, that's an older episode. Even so...


I think you're thinking of this?

"If you could save only ONE character from the Reapers... Who would it be?"


Wow. Liara or Garrus? I guess I have to go with Liara since she is the LI, but man, that would SUCK.

Which, in turn, means Ashley is a big part of the trilogy story.

Both characters are superb!

"How awesome is the new Concussive Shot amplified by the ammo type you equip? It sounds like a dynamic spin on an old power."

"It's really fun. So good I almost want to merge it into the base power so everyone can have it."

Could you please ask whether or not the Soldier's new Frag Grenade power will have the same ammo-amplification ability?

The demo shown at E3, PAX, and Gamescom revealed that the final evolution of the frag grenade allows Shepard to choose between armor piercing or shield stripping as an additional effect for grenades.

Aw. Didn't listen to Invincible... just Legend. Hm. Good to know BioWare still likes their epic trailer music. Sad that there's still almost nothing on Mansell's work...

If this refers to David Silverman - I must say I got used to this man I like him to do more Bioware Puls episodes.

No one is quite as natural at it so far as him

My wife plays female shep and nukes Kaidan because she despises him.  She hates him more than Jacob.

And I think it is safe to say that theses stats come from a pretty good statistical sample.  Yes, some people play offline, or turn off automatic reporting, but that group is tiny.  In addition, I suspect they are not enough of a demographic outlier to substantially change the results.

Damn it, that's mean. I mean, Ken and Gabby are a TEAM! I can't possibly let ONE of them die, can I?
Perhaps if I let you revive TIM and then kill him again, can I save them both? They get the same amount kills... : P
