Really? Wow, Kaidan and James are usually my go to team. I never really heard it from James... Huh, maybe it's the cool thing to do now on ME3 =)


This is exactly the team I took on every mission: Kaidan and James :) It's only a shame that they kill enemies so fast :P


It is a shame that they kill the enemy so fast in my own opion lol.

I finally fully realized yesterday why it is I really feel so strongly about Kaidan, and get oddly defensive when people hate on him or give him crap for not trusting you in ME2.

Almost 2 years ago, a guy I was in love with died suddenly and unexpectedly. We'd never actually dated, but we had a long history, and he made it clear how he felt about me. I always assumed we'd get a chance someday, when the timing was better, to really see it through and actually be together.

But then he died, and the fact that whatever we had was left unresolved and hanging there just utterly destroyed me. I spent the better part of a year in a daze of grief.

And I guess as a result, Kaidan's emotional arc just really, really resonates with me. When I ran into him on Horizon in ME2, I could imagine all too well how he felt about Shepard, and her death, and seeing her there again in front of him. And his letter ripped my guts out. And in a way, it gave their relationship in ME3 that much more emotional depth for me, because Kaidan got a second chance that I'll obviously never get in real life.

edit: Sorry to get all heavy in here. I just wanted to share that.

****, I'm so sorry. That's ****ing heart breaking. :crying:

I think thats why people get so emotionally attached to these characters because it reminds them of something thats happened to them. I got very defensive of Alistair in DA:O... At the time I started playing DA:O I was in a uphappy relationship where I was insulted daily and accused of all sorts, I guess I grew attached to Alistair's character because he treated my Grey Warden how I wanted to be treated... I suppose you could say I lost myself in that romance/relationship to make up for the ****** poor one that I was in. Of course, my now ex was jealous of Alistair... the guy had some serious problems tbh.

Aww *hugs* I know it won't help the past but hopefully Bioware does something about the endings to give you (and the rest of us) better closure on this. I didn't go through what you did but I have always "got" Kaidan as a character and why he reacted the way he did in ME2. I was very emotional about it in ME3 Image IPB

That's another reason why I'm so angry about the endings, Bioware must know how attached we are to their characters, they must realise that people see things in these characters that resonate with our real life situations... ending ME3 the way they did was not only an injustice for the whole ME universe and all the characters within it BUT a huge injustice to people that had a deep emotional attachment to them.

So... hypothetical question, if Kaidan got a kitten, what do you think he'd name it?

Definitely this! ^^ I felt like I was mourning them all after that ending, hell still am!

I am right there with you on this, I am so emotionally invested in these characters. I know a lot of that has to do with the fact that I don't relate to real people that well, I am an introvert, probably extreme introvert unless I happen to have friends who drag me kicking and screaming out into the real world. I mean you get to know them, they have stories to tell, they come across as people. So with the way Bioware ended everything, it just felt wrong... hell that's not even the word I want, one of these days I'll find that word.

I kinda like Eezo or Mako... or Geth

"I'm Kaidan Alenko, where is my Geth?"

"Here Gethy Gethy!"

hmm... I need to get out more.

Somehow I don't see Kaidan with a kitten. I always figured him as more of a dog type. Something like a mastiff. And he'd give it a name with just a tough of whimsy.

Then again, I'm hardly one to talk.  I named my kitten Ser Pounce-a-lot.  He is currently sitting on my desk, plotting now to nibble at the birdies outside.

I have little to no originality in names... My girls are Mirax (after Mirax Terrik Horn in Star Wars EU) and the other was supposed to be Mara (after Mara Jade) but ended up being Kiki thanks to my stepsons.

*edit
I also see Kaidan as more of a dog person.

lol ah yes that has happened more times than I can count :) 

And back to Kaidan I would have to say he would have a German Shepard (he just has too!) and maybe a couple of cute kitties too...

Hmm.. Well what if said hypothetical kitten was a gift for a certain someone?
Not that this is in any way related to a fanfic I'm writing or anything :whistle:

If I had any artistic talent, I would totally draw Kaidan covered in puppies and kittens :D

Shep:  So how do you like your birthday presents?
Kaidan: You know, sometimes I think the Reapers weren't so bad.  Like right now.  *attempts to fend off a drooling puppy*
Shep:  Reapers aren't cute and snuggly.
Kaidan:  Reapers also don't chew on my toes at night begging for food and attention.  Or sit on my head.  Or--
Shep:  OK, ok, I get the picture.  I'll see if I can track down that baby Reaper again. :devil:
Kaidan: :blink:  That's...going a little far.
