The squadmates teleportation thing is the only aspect of the ending that I'm expecting to be fixed/explained/changed (due to new details). Wouldn't count on anything else, and I'm actually fine fine the rest. This was the most idiotic part of the ending.

Does anyone know what missions I have to do before the citadel coup? I know Grissom Academy is one (found that out the hard way) Still crappy that you can't take Kaidan there.

Mostly just anything that takes place on the Citadel, and the Grissom Academy mission.

Some of the items you need for the Citadel missions require you to do a couple N7 missions.

You technically don't have to do the bomb on Tuchanka first (Kaidan does talk with Garrus about it afterward if you don't), but I think it works better to finish it while the Primarch is still onboard.

Save From Ashes until after. You want Kaidan with you for that one.

I can't stand it. It's wrong.

Not bad. Not idiotic. Just plain wrong!

I compiled the list:

Missions that have to be completed before Priority: Tuchanka
- Benning: Evidence (N7: Cerberus Abductions has to be completed)
- Citadel: Alien Medi-Gel Formula (N7: Cerberus Lab has to be completed)
- Citadel: Barla Von
- Citadel: Biotic Amp Interfaces (Grissom Academy: Emergency Evacuation has to be completed)
- Citadel: Hanar Diplomat
- Citadel: Improved Power Grid (buy from a store on the Citadel or complete N7: Cerberus Attack)
(not 100% sure) - Ismar Frontier: Prototype Components

Missions that have to be completed before Priority: Citadel 2 (the Coup)
- Grissom Academy: Emergency Evacuation (has to be completed before Priority: Tuchanka if you want to complete Citadel: Biotic Amp Interfaces)
- Tuchanka: Turian Platoon
- Tuchanka: Bomb (this mission has a second timer - if you do 3 other missions, even N7, after aquiring this mission - it will expire)

(not 100% sure) Missions that have to be completed before Priority: Rannoch
- Rannoch: Admiral Koris
- Rannoch: Geth Fighter Squadrons

---------------

I'm only not sure about 3 missions, The Ismar Frontier and 2 Rannoch mission (they're most likely timed so better to be safe) but everything else is confirmed and there's definitely nothing more that's timed. For ssimplicity sake, do everything from the list from Benning: Evidence to Tuchanka: Bomb before you do final Tuchanka Priority mission, then you can do Citadel mission. Everything else you can leave until after you have Kaidan back

Well I am sitting on the edge, heading into the final stretch. Not sure I want to head down this road yet. This game is going to kill me I think /sigh. Been crying off and on for the last couple hours, since Thessia, as much as I really dislike Asari, that actually hit me the hardest of everything so far.

Wish me luck. See ya on the other side.

I agree.  The rest isn't a plot-hole, it's just stuff that's unexplained.

Thank you.
I saved 'From Ashes' to take Kaidan on first playthrough, I almost didn't started it with James and Liara. Then James started asking stupid questions if I remeber, so I reloaded and waited for Kaidan :P 
Don't know if to do it sooner this time, might be worth it to see Javiks dialogue in the first few missions, because after I get Kaidan back I never used him. B)

Hello...does anyone know the song/music than accompanies the Kaidan love story in ME3 (from the soundtrack). I know when you have the dinner a bit of music is played and then the scene before the start of final battles. Does anyone know which ones they are on the soundtrack? Thanks.

Thank you! I Don't think I completed any of those Citadel missions on my first playthrough lol It's annoying, I would have liked a bloody warning, especially the Grissom mission, really wanted to see Jack :pinched: Oh well, at lest I have stuff to look foward too in this second playthrough.

18, 'I Was Lost Without You' For Kaidan. And possibly 20, 'We Face Our Enemy Together' for the scene before the final battles, not entirely sure on the latter.

It's so weird that I was able to do the Tuchanka bomb after the final Tuchanka Priority mission, citadel coup, and getting Kaidan back. That was the first mission that I took Kaidan on (besides Mars of course). Very weird indeed.

I *finally* received my CE today and played a bit! I'm curious and worried about the endings, but I want to see it for myself, and I just can't wait to have Kaidan back on the Normandy, does it take too long for him to come back?

About a 3rd of the game, I had the 'date' on the citadel at 14 hours (I kept the save :P) which pretty much happens after you get him back.

All I can say about the endings is prepare to sob, and not for the reasons you think you'll sob.

From what I recall, Kaidan joins you right after you put in Disc 2, which I believe was 26 hours for myself. 
Then again, I tend to dwadle and I'm a completionist.

Yay! I want him back quickly, that first scene at the hospital was so sad :crying:

@ Lady: I'm also a completionist, I just spent 4 hours looking for my ship models at the Normandy, and about the endings, I'm prepared to spend a few days depressed after somethings I heard, after investing myself so much in this game, I, and pretty much everyone else, just wanted a good ending.

Holy ****. I just finished my first playthough. And I have some questions...

1. Is there a support group I can join? I've been crying for, like, half an hour.
2. What the hell just happened? I really wish I hadn't avoided all those spoilers now.
3. Did I accidentally kill Kaidan? Because he was in London with me for the final assault...
4. What's all this about DLC? I don't even understand how that would work
5. Did anyone else hate Prothy? Just sayin' (Maybe he'll grow on me next round)
6. Did I get the not best ending? My green readiness bar was full though!

Also I have a confession. I sent my tester Shepard through first to mess things up like, you know, getting a certain someone blown up by a bomb on Tuchanka. And she's the one who moved on with Garrus. I thought she was going to get back together with Kaidan, but then Garrus challenged me to a shooting contest and dropped this gem: "I am Garrus Vakarian and this is now my favorite spot on the Citadel!" I figured he deserved at least one Shepard with a line like that. I am a very bad Kaidanite, and now I have to get my act together to get my cannon through. Of course, I need answers to all of my questions so I can metagame the hell out of it, if necessary.

Edit:  Ooh, we have an automatic foul language detector.  What words can't I say?  Oh wait, you can't tell me.

The bomb is blocked off by progress, not by the switch to Act II.

So if you rescue the turians, do the priority mission and the Citadel attack, then you can return and disarm the bomb with Kaidan (he has full dialogue for it).

Storywise, I think it works better if you complete it while the Primarch is still on the Normandy.

Stay strong! Get through it, and then come back here for cookies! :wizard:

Man, when I finished the game, there was this horrible, awful, no-good feeling in my gut. Like I had just decided to kick a bag of puppies.

So instead of dwelling, I go looking for Kaidan screenshots. Why, yes, hello!

That is exactly how I feel right now!  Does it ever go away?  I don't know how I can pull myself together for another playthrough right now.  Although, maybe moar kaidanz would cheer me up.

Huh. I had no idea you could work it to where you could have Kaidan with you on that bomb mission. I always have Garrus and Vega with me.

Was I the only one who never took EDI anywhere except the one mission where you have no choice? I found her not useful at all for my play style. :whistle:

1. There is both a hug thread floating around somewhere and a charity drive which was started to turn all those negative feelings into something happy and good for others. The link's in my sig and the thread's on the front page of the Spoiler Forum.
2. We're not quite sure, some think it's crappy writing while others have put on their tinfoil hats and signed on with the Hallucination/Indoctrination Attempt theory, also found on the front page of the Spoiler Forum
3. Not quite sure. Technically if you have a high enough EMS he's alive, but we're not sure how or why he's on the Normandy near the end.
4. Not sure, half conspiracy theories started on 4chan and half decrying it as pointless considering the ending
5. He was kind of a jerk but I downloaded the DLC right before the end game and didn't use him much.
6. The endings are pretty much all the same so you probably only missed out on a half second scene that's technically the "best" ending. What was your EMS/Choice at the end?

Don't worry about the Garrus thing. He was my bro and I can see how you'd not want to let him down. Still you missed out on some amazing Kaidan action that way.:wub:

It doesn't really go away, it more or less just dulls a bit. The good news is, there are some amazing screenies/photomanips out there of our favourite squaddie.

Yeah, just do it right after. (If you do too many missions between rescuing the turians and disarming the bomb, it goes off, and Wrex is pissed at you on Earth at the end—Eve got blown up, believe it or not.)

He has an over-the-comm conversation with Garrus about it after the mission, as well as banter during the mission (and maybe some interjections as well).

I never took her anywhere, but I rarely bring engineer-type characters with me. Of course, her appearance didn't help at all.

I wished they had simply made her an omni-tool program that you could boot up and switch to tech powers during a mission, leaving that slot free for another companion.

Really? :OOO Amazing! That means more missions with Kaidan!
