Is Kai Leng a biotic ?

I can't see how exactly a racist chinese guy would be able to face someone who can throw krogans away like rag-dolls.

No, he is just very, very good. For example, he once killed an armed and armored turian squad with nothing but a knife and a pistol. He had no armor, shields, barriers or even clothes. Previously, he had killed a krogan with just the knife.
And this was before Cerberus upgraded him with Reaper technology, if the screenshot of him in ME3 is to be trusted.

Well, reaper tech is kind of a big trump card, even though that makes me wonder, once again, if Shepard also has reaper tech in his synthetic composition.

Hmmmmmm, questions questions :bandit: ! 

You still got that screenshot around ? Would appreciate it if I could get a look at Mr. Leng !

There are screenshots about Leng? Where?
About the canon-biotic Shepard, I'd say that it was a bug. If I recall right, when I played a  Soldier femshep in ME, I didn't get that line, while I remembered to get with my Soldier maleshep, and I didn't get it with an Infiltrator maleshep.

Granted, it has not been officially confirmed to be Leng but if it looks like a duck...

This is bad, how come no one noticed this before ?!

Why is that bad? At least it explains why a non-biotic class Shepard can learn biotic powers. Not deveoping his abilities may not be a case of training. It may just be that Shepard's biotic strength has proven to be lower than expected after implantation, or he couldn't learn control properly. Or it could be a case of "I was reasonably good at biotics, but a first-class talent with tech, so that's where most of the training went."

Well, those aren't bad explanations, but was it that hard to give Kaidan an alternate line and just reduce the amount of bonus powers if you didn't have a biotic class ?

Thanks. I think it's Kai Leng too.

He looks like a high-tech Winter Soldier. Unfortunately, that is making my mind go to places it really, really shouldn't.

He looks more like "I'm going to kill one of your favorite squaddies".

Seriously, I could bet.

I typed a quote from Star Wars. What Obi-Wan said about Darth Vader. By the way Leng looks, he does look more machine.

The fact that Leng might torture Miri worries me every day.  :unsure:

I prefer Shepard to be canonically a biotic. It's nice to be able to learn one biotic power as an Engineer. Just too bad that it can't be Warp.

If you do, warn me in advance so that I can stay away.

That would be a challenge. Miranda would probrably group him with those who join Cerberus out of xenophobia.

And a teaser to make up for the thought.

[quote]I’d seen Gwen angry before when I almost crashed her car two weeks after arriving on Eden Prime. I’d seen her defensive when I confronted her about what she’d done to Claire Eldfell. I’d never seen her like this. She’d gone pale, and her eyes were bright with unshed tears. Grief, pain, and disbelief transformed her face. Suffering could be beautiful. Pain stripped away all masks and defenses and laid bare the person underneath. It was not beautiful for Gwen. She merely looked old and weak. It was, of course, my fault.

It was Miranda she rounded on, though. "You want to take my nephew away from me?"

Miranda didn't flinch. "Mr. Shepard asked me to. He feels unsafe with you."

Gwen turned to me. There was no fire in her, only sparks she was trying and failing to ignite. "What do I have to do to convince you that I'm sorry for what I did to that girl? That's why I came to the colonies, to atone. Do you have any idea how much I gave up when I left Arcian? Robert paid me almost as much as his vice presidents. I had everything I ever wanted: money, power, prestige. And I threw it away after I saw what I'd done to her."

“Yes,” Miranda muttered, "and now you have one very nice car instead of three."

“Well, what do you want me to do? Wear sackcloth and ashes? The girl is dead. I can't bring her back. All I can do is go on as best I can. That includes taking care of the only family I have left."

My head hurt. "And yet, you let her give me implants. She’s already done her worst to me. You haven't.”

"They made me. They threatened to tell you what I'd done." I saw as the light dawned in her eyes. "And you already know." She turned to Miranda. "I don't see any reason to cooperate with your scheme anymore. I’ll take Matt home, will have a normal life, and you and your foundation will never touch him."

Home. It was a nice word, even after everything. All I had to do was pretend what Gwen did was okay. Forget the strange and terrifying woman sitting beside me. Forget everything that had happened. Do my best never to use biotics again."

Miranda's laughter sent a shiver down my spine. "No. You won’t. My employers are very interested in Mr. Shepard. And I desperately want to give you what you deserve." Her voice was low and compelling, the voice shamans had used when they told stories around the tribal campfire long ago. "Your idea of atonement is taking a pay cut and accepting guardianship of a boy you saw once before your brother died. My idea is stripping you of that license. I assure you I can find some pretext or other. You'd never practice medicine again. And you have precious few other skills. You'd be poor. Have you ever been poor, doctor? Not just a struggling resident. Desperate. Wondering if your dignity is worth your next hot meal. You don't have the strength to handle something like that. I know women like you. You say you love your nephew, and maybe you do, but you'll choose comfort every time."

"How dare you presume—“

"I'm not presuming anything. Matt’s known what you’ve done for weeks, and you let him stay here. You let me be alone with him." She leaned in close. "You did that because you know how much power I wield. You're a coward."

I looked between them. Miranda's glittering eyes and pale face versus Gwen’s ashen skin. Death and Life. And I saw Gwen flinch. "You’d do it," I whispered. "That license does matter more."

"I'd be letting you starve too.”

I couldn’t say anything. There was a hard, burning lump in my throat. I’d known she was sick, or weak or whatever you wanted to call it, but it was different seeing it stated so bluntly. She’d said she’d never hurt me, but she’d sell me out just like she sold out Claire Eldfell. Anything to survive.

“But, tell me who’s worse, the blackmailed or the blackmailer? I may be weak, but I love my nephew. He’s just a tool to you.”

Like an AU version of ME2 where the Lazarus Project never figured out how to restore Shepard's memories? Shepard's old identity is replaced by one of a Cerberus agent who had fallen in the line of duty. After being reintroduced to TIM we get the SR-2 and set out to defeat the Collectors. While this is all happening Miranda is working on a way to restore Shepard's memories.

What would make things all the more interesting is the romance arc. Technically, without Shepard being fully restored the Lazarus Project is a failure but bringing Shepard back would wipe out the man who she's come to care about.

We still haven't seen anything of Miri for ME3. No footage, no screenshots, and no concept art. I for one and hoping for a Christmas Miracle.:(

...What a lame apology.

The only good thing is that it ends with them both dead and Miranda decided to send off all Leng's data to Shepard before deciding to burn the place to the ground and die but thankfully passes out via smoke inhalation. (she's bleeding out regardless).

Damn you...
