So hum, if i manage to change this, do you have any colour preference?

There is an armor in the game with the same skin only blue instead of pink.  Forget what it's called but it looks very nice on Kaidan.

OK, maybe it's pink.

Haha, only thing more amusing than Garrus in Phoenix armor...is Wrex in Phoenix armor.  I never actually took him out like that, but couldn't resist trying it on him just to see.

And back on topic, I have a confession to make...

I left Kaidan on Virmire in my last playthrough.  I wanted to be able to romance Garrus once, and was trying to avoid any temptation.  I almost couldn't do it, though.  I ended up saving him first and doing the post-Virmire chat with him, then I reloaded and got Ash.  Kept the save point through the rest of the game though, in case I changed my mind again.

That said, despite the factor, the cutscene of him staying with the bomb was very moving and well done.  I really liked it in an "oh, the feels" sort of way.  And now it's been done, and I have my one Ash game and it will never happen again.

@MandaPanda > I wanted to experiment on ME2 Kaidan's appearance, but it's kind of complicated since he's not a squad member. I know there are ways to use him as Shepard, but from what i've seen, it looks wrong. So i guess, no extra ME2 Kaidan it is...
Yeah i saw that scene alright... on Youtube
Actually, i may have tried that myself, but... hearing Kaidan on the radio instead of Ash felt weird (cause i usually save the bomb squadmember) and i probably reloaded at some early point because i knew then that even if i saved Ash instead, i would never carry on with that PT.
So, MandaPanda, what i'm trying to say is... it's OK, I understand... (NO, I DON'T!!!!!! ).
But I'm proud of you (I guess ).

This hurts me 

That said, I applaud your bravery~

oooh, brave lady....I'm yet to make myself see some of...missed content.

I still have no idea of what "bad" coup looks like and how alternative Virmire may happen. Just some very basic concept , you know...

And looking at those ME1 shots makes me load some Ilos ME1 save just to know - what a hell we were wearing all those times?!.. But...won't happen. For now. Because...must...resist!!

So...first off, WELCOME BACK   RL shenanigans...what can you say about them except that I'd ALMOST always rather be hangin' with the Kaidanites.  

And second, dat GIF! Every time I come here someone posts something that makes me remember that I'm missing Kaidan and I need more SP DLC LIKE NOW.  You take the cake today so congrats.

It's worth it to see Garrus like this:



I'll still never understand why they chose to put Kaidan in the Phoenix armor in the ME2 Normandy SR1 crash scene.  I mean...really?!?!

The answer is because, what, like, 80%?, of saves have Ash surviving; therefore, they used her default armor.  Never mind that Onyx is more gender neutral.  The 20% of people who saved Kaidan can DEAL WITH IT.

This may or may not be true.  I'm just speculating.  And I'm mildly crabby because I got nothing good in my victory or com packs today.  Also I might have been drinking with Aoibheann (who never comes by here anymore) tonight, and I might have killed a bottle of prosecco.  I'll stop talking now.

Edit:
Okay, wait, one more thing, then I'll go away.

Sad to say but Kaidan has always been seen as the bastard at the family reunion. Kaidan-haters have called him whiny, boring and other names that would get me banned if I wrote them here. Apparently Garrus has the 'bro' market for male gamers and the 'awwww, romance' market for female gamers, and Ashley/Liara/Tali takes care of the 'pixilated female fantasy' demographic. And don't get me started on Mass Effect merchandising. Action figures, t-shirts, and posters abound and not one item is Kaidan-centric.

For once, I would like to see just one Kaidan item offered -- that way when it sells out in record time the powers that be can all go 'duhhhh, we need to make more Kaidan stuff.'

Idiots.

I've made it my personal mission to convince the marketing department to do more Kaidan-centric merch.  Including trying to get hired onto the marketing department.  *crosses fingers*

You were, but you live 400 miles away so the invite didn't make it in time. 

Also, renew your gold subscription.

My hero(ine).  Have I mentioned that I want a Kaidan hoodie?  So, given that you're going to DragonCon (Atlanta, GA), and are prepared to work for BW (Edmonton, Canada) you  a: have mad frequent flyer miles, b: can work from home, or c: are prepare to leave the sunny and oh so comfy and warm south.  If it's a or b, I'm jealous.

Yes,
yes we do. A t-shirt, a mug, something. I mean Ashley got a figurine, this has
to be the one of the times that Bioware decides to treat them like seperate people. *pout* (Though I am happy for Ash's fans)

Edit: @KarissaEB I'll be going to the last two of Raphael Sbarge's panels, I can't make it to the first one though. I won't be wearing anything special (I'm not so good with the sewing) but I'll keep an eye out for your fatigues. I'm soo excited, but I have no idea what to say to him when he's giving out autographs. D:

I feel like I'll revert to a puddle of fangirl goo when I get there and lose my ability to communicate rationally.

*sigh* So very true... But you know what's funny here? They don't make any Alenko merchandisings, but they exploit him constantly. I mean Sbarge - they pick him for almost each con and event. Why would they do so, if they think that Kaidan is so unpopular and hated?

Oh, and they put him onto banner about "uniting the world through pay play" and used him as some kind of rainbow flag (it's not about my attitude towards anything or anyone - it's about their attitude towards Alenko).

I don't get it. At all.

Well, maybe Mr Sbarge likes to go to the Cons?

mShep+Kaidan was the most desired s/s relationship requested in Mass Effect.

Jacqui does a really good job of getting him booked at the cons.  She even asked the Kaidanites which ones we'd be most likely to go to.  I think he's doing a lot to promote Once Upon a Time as well.  They've had several panels.

[Kunari801]

Oh yeah, OUaT is starting again soon.

[NRieh]

He might, but I doubt it's his initiative. BW (or EA) should invite - no? And since they do... they do it for purpose, I guess...

mShep+Kaidan was the most desired s/s relationship requested in Mass Effect.

Yay. Makes perfect sense....not. I mean, why would they totally ignore "the most desired s\\s relationship" target audience? It's either one or antother, it's either "iconic" character with all his relationships or something that is perfectly safe to ignore and something that has no $$$ potentials. Can't be both at same time.

And I'd be perfectly fine with ANY reason that makes them do Kaidan goods...though, I'd rather see him alone, without Sheploo at his side...but I won't love to see him with DefaultFemShep on a T-shirt or poster as well - so it has nothing to do with Shepard's gender.

ps: You've got a broken quote somewhere in yor post, don't know if you fixed it while I was typiing or not.

Ahah, Garrus looks mad in here.

About Phoenix armour, my guess is that they wanted an armour that looked sensibly different than that of Shepard from the opening scene + indeed Ash's iconic armour was already there so, it was less budget consuming to just apply the same to both. BUT, on the other hand, Kaidan has an armour of his own on Horizon, so that makes them even to me (they could have made him wear that in there too! ).

Quick note, if  anybody's interested > From my experiments, it seems the texture for the Phoenix armour is of the same nature as the eye texture > colourless, and then the colour is added dynamically real-time.

I work from home.  ....sort of.  I'm a medical transcriptionist, but I also get mad moniez for taking classes (yay GI bill!) and have concierge friends that get me cheap stuff and a friend that offered to let me room with her fo' free (she's also the one that donated $1000 to Operation Smile at NerdHQ this year for Zachary Levi to kiss her, which set off the Nathan Fillion and Adam Baldwin kisses immediately following -- and we sort of work for the same company!  She's just way better at it than I am).  AAAAAAND D*C coincides with the few days my ex wanted to take my son for his last "week" (even though it's like, three extra days) of summer-allocated vacation, so it just all kinda worked out!  I really should sign up for frequent flyer miles.  I'd have racked up some serious points by now, for sure.  *sigh* 

I'd love to work for BW Edmonton OR Montreal, or Sacramento even though they're doing the Social Gaming scene rather than ME or DA (which is still cool, just not my obsessions).  I'll work on that Kaidan hoodie.  And other associated Kaidan merch I really NEEDS to have.
