@Lady and Satanic Ponies---you both are making me feel lots of love:wizard: No I'm still here!  Just was very busy lately.  BTW love the reference to me disapearing like the warden. You get a Kaidan cookie=]

Right now I'm on my PC playing DA:O ---->DA: Awakening ---> DA2 ---->Legacy & Mark of the Assassin. So yea I'm on a DA binge atm. It's also always better on the PC due to Mods:whistle:

Speaking of coffee and food I wonder how often you would have to shop for food with 2 biotics in the home. I could see Kaidan as liking to cook for some reason. Awww like I can see him baking a cake for his little kid. I think he would make a great father. Umm ok now this is where I leave for a bit:blink:

That last part just made me think of this fanfic you may like. Papa Kaidan is adorable.


Anyway, there's important work to be done. Stop Kaidan getting spaced! (by getting someone else spaced instead Posted Image)

I don't think I like where this is going at all :(

(And what about Allers? Sure, she's never a squadmate, but as far as I'm concerned she's still the first one thrown under the bus <_< )

Heh, that's probably why she's not in it. Sort of a waste of round one. Posted Image

Allers would have done more good in a torpedo tube, fired at the Reapers.  At least then you'd have gotten some use out of her.  Maybe that's what the war assets are for if you let her on the ship.

I'm having a tough time picturing Kaidan in a Halloween costume.  He seems more likely to go for a tux and mask than a full-on costume.  Wait!  :wizard:  He and Shep could do Phantom of the Opera costumes.  Kaidan in a cape!

I bet Jacob takes a dive first. We'd have to all agree on who to space next. Spread across all the squaddies, we kind of lose our impact. It's brilliant, really. We've been skewing polls for months and someone finally found a way to make us obsolete.

Edit: Halloween costumes - Kaidan would make a great Clark Kent/Superman.

You know... I wasn't going to comment on this, but it was the first post I saw when I woke up, and I'm feeling ornery. The tone of Leborum's initial post yesterday was irritated me enough since it came less than a page after someone had posted a question trying to spark discussion, but this is just hyberbolic nonsense. Yes, yes, the thread gets off topic -- that's the nature of human interaction, it's fluid and tangential -- but there's also a lot of Kaidan-related discussion going on a lot of the time. If you couldn't find anything in 120 pages to comment on, you're just not reading it.

Sorry your friends from 1500 pages ago don't post anymore, but people move on all the time. I'm sure it's not always because they're afraid of the big, bad new people who usurped the thread.

I started posting in this thread because it was such a friendly, inviting atmosphere. Take a guess why I'm going to stop. I'm sure that will delight some.

Hi there :) I know I don't post often here. Not because I don't like to do so, but I'm awful occupied playing SW:TOR ^_^ Anyway I'm still interested in anything Kaidan related. He's my alltime favorite LI and when I read this here I had to post this from Jho :)

He would look great in it, even so I have the feeling he wouldn't wear it for long, when he would be alone with my Shepard ;) Okay, and before I get into the gutter I return to my Jedi Knight :)

Noooooooooooooooooooo!  You can't leave!

And I definitely agree, posting this in the middle of a discussion during a time when some of us have been actively trying to be on-topic more, is a bit of a slap in the face.  I've been commiserating with various Kaidan fans for quite some time, now, and they do come and go.  Would I like to see the KAAS more active?  Sure.  Would I love to see more people post here?  Definitely.  Do I think people chit chat more than mods might like?  You bet.

But to say that the questions posted to try to avoid the very thing you're complaining about weren't worth a response is a little hurtful.  If you want to talk about Kaidan in a different way, post a different question.

Edit: Dang, that worked fast!  [waves at Aslansadi]  Jho does such amazing work.

So I started my NewGamePlus playthrough last night.  Having the best armor and guns from the start is the bomb - almost worth actually playing the g*damn ending a third time.  Anyway, had to share two screenshots I grabbed, for your amusement and lust.

Caption - Kaidan's mind:  OMG were Liara's breasts always that big?  I don't think they were always that big...
Shepard's mind:  You noticed it too, huh?  I mean, dear god...

This is kind of based off an earlier question. If Kaidan and Shepard's roles were reversed, who do you think Kaidan would have romanced? How would he have handled some of the bigger choices? As in, Kaidan is the protagonist N7 who touched the beacon and got the cipher and so on.  Based on Kaidan's character, how would he have gone through Mass Effect?

It's a pretty tall order and I haven't thought it all out myself. I actually have a hard time believing his L2 implant wouldn't blow up but for the sake of this argument let's just run with it.

It's hard to not picture him with our Shepards I'm sure. But do you? Who would you put him with?

I can't remember a lot of the stuff from ME1 but the Rachni queen question I'm really not sure about. I don't think Kaidan would doom an entire race, but he is a cautious person. I'm leaning towards him letting her go.

What about Wrex? I actually don't remember this choice at all so I'm not sure how it would play out with Kaidan.

Who would he have left on Virmire? Ashley or Shepard? My Shepard's a soldier so that choice really comes down to rank I guess and feelings. I think he would have chosen Shepard just because of her being a higher ranking officer. If you put him with Ashley, does that change your response? How about if you put him with Liara? Do you think he'd choose based on love? I think he would.

What about the council? Would he save them or not? I think he'd let them die myself. That's a tough one though.

Mass Effect 2? Do you think he'd jump the cerberus ship as soon as possible? Would there be a totally different game?

In this pic he reminds me a lot of Vindicator/Guardian, from the Alpha Flight comics--and since I like Alpha Flight, that's a good thing. :D

I think Kaidan would have a tough time without turning to Shep for her strength.  The harder calls would be tough on him and she'd be right there telling him that he was right (and, if necessary, to suck it up).  I think Liara would irritate him to no end after a short time and, though I definitely think he respects Ash, I don't see him really going for her in a romantic way.

The Cerberus situation would be awful for him.  I picture him running straight to Anderson and then to Hackett if he has to, trying to get out from under.  Being forced to work for them would make him crazy.  The Horizon confrontation flipped so that Shepard is dressing him down just when he's so relieved to find her alive would only make it worse, poor baby.  :unsure:

I just get the idea that he has a harder time setting aside personal feelings to address the bigger picture.  Much as he acts as Shepard's foil in recalling to her that sometimes the price is not worth the gain she is his, showing him that your hatred of a particular action cannot stand in the way of doing the greatest good you can.  By the time Kaidan blew up the Batarians he'd need six months under house arrest to recover, if Shepard wasn't there to help him through it.

Edit: I forgot a couple of things.

Ash is the logical choice on Virmire.  No matter his personal feelings he knows the right choice, there, particularly as nuking Shep would leave the ship without a captain.

I don't see the Wrex situation blowing up as badly with Kaidan in charge.  I think Wrex would have come to Kaidan directly instead of getting into a confrontation with Ash.  Much as Wrex respects Shepard I get the idea that he sees her as someone much less open to his influence without a show of strength.

I agree completely with this, you've probably noticed that I've not been around.  I've noticed a growing sense of perceived "Entitlement" here and it is not something that I wish to be a part of.  I started posting here for the very same reason, I felt welcome, now however, I feel the complete opposite.  I don't want anybody to take this the wrong way, but negativity is just something I have no desire to be around.

The length of time one has been present should make no difference to anybody's right to participate in this thread.  There is a word for that, sadly, it's not one I like.  As for going off topic, I won't even comment because it's all been said before.  So I'll just take my leave and bow out quietly.

I learned this myself through Mass Effect. I think this is something Kaidan would need to learn and I like that Shepard would be the one to show him.

About Virmire, well in this scenario Kaidan is the ship's captain. But yeah, I still say he would choose to save Shepard.

I agree he would have a very hard time with a lot of these choices. I do wonder if it would break him, or would Shepard hold him together? Would he find the strength? Find strength in each other?

Interesting take on the Wrex perdicament.

I want to apologize in advance if this doesn't come across as nicely or diplomatically as I would like but my youngest is running quite a fever and is incredibly out of sorts so my head's not really here. I'm sad to say but I agree with Kolo. It's one of the reasons I've hardly posted for the past week or so, this thread just doesn't have the same friendly fun atmosphere that it used to. We used to have lurkers posting to say how much the thread made them laugh or gave them a lift at the end of the day but I haven't seen anyone say that in quite a while. It seems to have degenerated into going off-topic only when certain people deem it appropriate and the people who try to spark interesting discussions are being ignored more often than not. I understand people want to keep the thread in check and I agree that none of us want to see the thread shut down over something frivolous but personally I think that some people are being kind of unpleasant in the way that they go about it and forgetting that if the mods had an issue with anything going on, they would give a warning - which they haven't done. That kind of stuff I can live without. To quote Danny Glover - I'm too old for this sh*t, so I think I'm done with this thread.
