That's a photoshop win if I ever saw one! :D

I'm working on another ME playthrough and I forgot how adorably dorky Kaidan is at places in this game, I just got up to his 'mistake' on the citadel where he unwittingly tells Shep he likes her, damn I love this game.

I also ran on and grabbed the update and Resurgence pack for my XBox and I'm hoping to have time over the weekend to get into more MP.

So, I right clicked, then went to content aware fill, and what did Photoshop decide would be fitting? To replace the stars and stamp an image of Kaidan's ass five times in the sky, outlined by a blue glow :lol: Even Adobe recognizes the beauty that is Alenko's behind.

I laugh so hard
best image ever :lol:

I'm just after that, about to go take down Fist. Kaidan's armour in 1 is really, really terrible though.

Yeah I can see that. If you actually read mythology from various cultures, you can actually see the essence and message its trying to convey are similar if not the same. Just different names. What I like about the use of reincarnation with Shenko is that it further reinforces that Kaidan and Shepard are soulmates. That no matter where or what time they may be, they belong together. <3 I'm such a sappy romantic. The idea is interesting, but my opinion is that the goddess part might be ... a bit way off the timeline of ME. I just don't see it linking well with the present timeline of trilogy. Maybe you can prove me wrong. ;) But I like the reinforcing idea of Kaidan and Shepard (especially Shepard) that there's no one else and it's true love after all.

The goddess won't make much of appearent. She's just... well, you know she was there but she isn't important. Just like Buddhist doesn't care about god because the thing that control our life is karma. (Action and the things after that.) I won't give them limitless power. It's just ruin the fun. Well, the god is just a boy who want to see his parents happy, and he would do anything to make sure they could be together this time. And his friend is going to help. 
In fect, they were gods only because people calls them. Their true self were something else entirely. 

About the timeline, it's call the cycle, so how could you know the begining and the end. Thing dies for new thing to born. That's why the god of death an the goddess of live are the one. 

Well, I suggest you to read battle angel Alita: the last order. It was perfect manga that comblied belief and science together. In some point, the heroin had the question about being human just like Shepard wondered. (Alita died and reborn so many times. I lost count already.) But I don't think I would use that large scale of story. To be honest, I wonder if west people would be able to understand the pure spiritual thing. No offend, it's only because isn't something you can learn from the book. There's no the quick method to understand the truth of live, however.

True be told, I felt a bit insulted when someone say I don't understand the philosophy in ME. Excuse me? I'd learn about this thing for my entire live (not that long but, well, still long) and you think I don't know about philosophy? Oh, I think you point your finger in the wrong way guy.

Okay, so I've been bored and working in Photoshop all morning. Decided to mess around and make a wallpaper of Kaidan and Shepard from the observation room scene.
In the process of smoothing things out, I noticed there was an unfavorable looking star cluster in one corner, and it really started to bug me. So I highlighted it, and went to add a content aware fill. In theory, content aware would look at the surroundings and remove what you highlighted, replacing it with whatever was in the background (like in this picture where I removed the Salarian waiter, it replaced him with the stuff that would have been behind him).
So, I right clicked, then went to content aware fill, and what did Photoshop decide would be fitting? To replace the stars and stamp an image of Kaidan's ass five times in the sky, outlined by a blue glow :lol: Even Adobe recognizes the beauty that is Alenko's behind.


OMG that is hilarious. :)

It's felt like ages since I've been on here. Had some medical issues, not quite sorted but nearly there. Been
feeling really poo.

Read about the extended cut, they are going to have to add alot to make me a happy bunny, I tried starting a 2nd
playhrough of ME3 but as soon as I got Kaidan back after the Genophage I just turned it off, also my xbox gold has expired so need to save up for it again. *sigh*

Cant even get inspired for fanfic either.

Just hope this slumps end after I'm not ill anymore. Then I'm going to romance the hell out of Kaidan again.

Welcome back!  We've missed you.  Hope you feel better soon.  The Kaidan cookies over in the corner usually help.  That or reading Graceyn's fantastic fanfic.

What's that in the sky?  Why the Alenko Bumrealis, of course!

I know I'll probably get some hate in this thread but I have to ask, since you guys/girls probably know Kaidan better than anyone. You know that scene on the Citadel, after the attempted Cerberus coup? Kaidan asks if he can rejoin you on the Normandy and I was wondering what happens if you tell him "no". A video would be best but I can't seem to find it.

You get a war asset. :P Not that I'd ever have the fortitude to turn him down, even for more war assets, but from what I understand keeping him or Ash off your ship nets you a war asset and they join the fighting elsewhere.

Ha, thanks for the prompt reply. I'm gonna just have to find the save closest to this point and see it myself since I can't imagine why anyone would reject another squadmate just to inflate some arbitrary green bar in the War Room.

I agree that I too feel insulted, when they say they don't understand philosophy in the Me universe. After a while, of going to read up on Buddhism again I find a lot of things similar to Reincarnation IN the reapers cycle. I'm one of those that find it possible that people do find a new life somewhere down the rode. The cycle of the Reapers is a endless one that is timeless so in other words just like Reincarnation. I don't see that much influence of Judea Christan Beliefs in ME. I see many different version of Buddhism, Shinto, and other eastern religious beliefs. Like for example, the samurai codes I could see in Samara's Justicer codes. However, I still just felt the ending was a bit off even for Buddhism and the lore surrounding it. Yes, we can understand, I'm from the west and was raised Christan lol. :wizard::D:D:D:):) However, I'm now agotisc-Athiest. B)B)

When you first get to the Citadel.  Down in the wards by the Med Clinic/Flux.  It's amazing. I missed it my first two playthroughs though.

Yeah that scene at the Citadel balcony is really easy to miss, but it's a nice scene to watch. Cute, too.

Does anyone else think that if for some reason Kaidan and Ashley both survived ME1, they might have ended up together, assuming you don't go after Kaidan? Like how Tali and Garrus are in ME3? lol. I think there were slight hints in ME1 that they liked each other, not 100% sure.

Truely, I'd known an American who now is a Buddhist monk in Thailand. I don't think Buddism is too hard for anyone. It's just hard to see any west people who wants to learn them. :lol: 

Well, about my story, let's me explain in this way. Everything is just like the game, the god is the watcher while mortals are the players. When the god of death wants to join the frey he had to became mortal. So, he had only mortal ability but still more capably, especially in spiritual way (or you can call it quantum physics. In some point, the science almost touch the spirit. They just didn't admit it.) In the end, he (or she) die to reborn again. It isn't the end. There's no truely ending, after all. But they can life in peace for at least 50,000 years.

You have to go to the upper wards immediately after your first meeting with the council (you are not able to get there until you've had that first meeting). Once you're there, walk to the center area and admire the view and that little cutscene happens. I'm almost ready to leave the Citadel now, close to lvl60, playing on insanity. Combat in ME1 is so painful, but a Kaidan fully charged Lift power combined with my vanguard's Throw seems to be doing the trick.

I think that's a definite possibility actually, when you catch Ashley listening to her sister's vid message the SR1 cargo bay, the sister talks about how hot Kaidan is,  and Ash gets all embarrassed and gives Shep the gossip that the LT is "sweet on someone else".  I'd like to think that had they both survived and my Shep didn't romance Kaidan then Ash and he might end up together.

I like the idea of it I would read it.. In my storyI have a demon that wants to become god so he can destory the earth and hevens thought his younger brother with the help of a human woman fights against his plans. Thought in one of the endings he is able to destroy earth and the heavns thought the younger brother remakes them so he can see his firends be happy in the end.  I would probaly be baned from Italy due to hericy lol..  I wanted to pertray a little bit of Rencarntion and Karma. :lol:

I refuse to belive it.  Kaidan only has eyes for Shep.  It's not that I don't like the idea of Kaidan being with someone else.  I'd like to think he got some in the two years Shepard was dead.  I just don't like the idea of Kaidan being with someone else I know.

That's a fair point but I can think of way worse people for Kaidan to end up with than Ash. If he's not with my Shep (and why on earth wouldn't he be??? ) then I wouldn't mind Ash. Liara now, I'd hate that.

It probaly will be Laira thought since Kaidan has a Asari Festish. Oh and Bioware just does it just to ****** people off I mean look, what they did with the Jacob romance... :innocent:So if your Shepard dies then Laira gets Kaidan in the end. :(

The idea of Kaidan with Liara makes my blood boil. Ugh.

UGH

Of course, since I can't get through a game without romancing Kaidan, I suppose it doesn't matter. But if I had to see him with anyone else, I would prefer Ash. She'd keep him on his toes, and he'd level her out.

Mine too, I just don't see why they try to force Liara on you at every opportunity.  She's the only character I've never come close to romancing, even the completionist in me can't do it, I dislike the character so much.  If it was up to me I'd leave her hanging in that stasis field on Therum.

 I just watched Ashley's goodbye scene and it is nothing near Kaidan's. Or Garrus', for that matter. In the Kaidan one, I actually cried and they sounded like they were about to cry. Ashley's one...it was just eh. I guess I'm glad I saved Kaidan...not that I could ever not save him :wub:

EDIT: top, so double Kaidan :)
