Spent yesterday writing. Need some Kaidan today. Preferably naked.

I voted in all the polls, and still trying to catch up on posts. Hi everyone! *waves*

No naked ones, how about a badass one?

*snip smexy smolder pic*

*wipes drool* Yes, that one will do nicely, TY!

I don't see any Kaidan and Papa John resemblance. At all.

Edited for squee. FireEye!!!!!!!!!! :devil:<3

 Everytime I see FireEye's naked Kaidan pics I get flashbacks to the beginning of the second Austin Powers movie.

EDIT: Wrong spelling of name, sorry.

Less-famous brother, maybe?

Definite resemblance, just not a doppleganger.

EDIT: And THANKS SO MUCH, Reine, for making the morning-sickness-stricken pregnant lady want Papa John's. <_<

haha oh dear, we've found what inspired his hair!

got it confirmed:
the drawing of the VS plushies on the lower shelf was done by rabbitzoro

FireEye, you crack me up with your pictures XD

...and after reading everyone's thoughts on Horizon, I need some chocolate pastries now >_< brb

[Criz]

I can understand Kaidan on Horizon, what is really frustrating is that you can't convince him of your POV and because of some odd reason he'd still not join to make the VS default survive for ME3

on the other hand, I'm on occasion fine with events that are out of your control when no matter what you do something will happen that will leave you angry, desperate or frustrated ... or all of those
the ending of DA2 and Anders' situation for that matter belongs in there as well ...

[oyukichan]

For those talking about Kaidan's writer now being on DA2 and linking to that 10 months old post a few pages back. I read that. I took it to mean that he works on lots of BioWare's titles and will most likely be working on Kaidan in ME3. He's been at the company a long time and I'm sure he either already has or is currently writing me one helluva sexy Kaidan/femShep story for ME3.

My Shep has no anger about Horizon (at least not with Kaidan). She was upset when it happened, but after reflection she understood and agreed with him. It was that moment that made her fully comprehend the reality and consequences of it being TWO YEARS later. She's furious with the sh@#ty situation she's in, and vowed to get out of Cerberus asap, so she can get back with the alliance and prove to Kaidan that she's still the same person he fell in love with.

[jtav]

I recently got it into my head to RP a "Kaidan" Shepard. That is, a Shepard who'd make decisions Kaidan would have made. Suggestions? Mostly pure Paragon, but I'm wondering if there's anything that might deviate from that.

Ah........... can of worms....... love it.........
Well I know I am going to invite disagreement here because I think so much is subjective with ME characters...
But I would say pure paragon and as *by the book* as that allows 

[Bekkael]

I can't play pure Paragon. Not ever. It's always too boring unrealistic for any of my PC's. My Para meter is usually maxed by the end of the game, with my Renegade about 1/4 to 1/3 full.

Horizon.
*sigh* My Shep went through the entire gambit of emotions. I didn't believe this scenario, AT ALL:

Kaidan: "Shepard, it's you!" *glomp*
Kaidan: *angry face* "I loved you, you b***h betrayer!" *rant, rant* "Cerberus sucks!" *rant*
Shepard: "Kaidan, I'm not Cerberus. I got dumped there when I was dead, they remade me, and I'm using them for the greater good."
Kaidan: *fingers in his ears* "Lalalalalalala, I can't heeeear you! Well, I need to go report in. Try not to die again, because then I'll be even more angry with you." *stomps away*
Shepard: *stares at Garrus with jaw hanging open* "What the F*** just happened?"
Garrus: *shakes head and sighs* "I don't know, Shepard, I just don't know."

NO. JUST NO. THIS IS MORE LIKE WHAT THE KAIDAN I KNEW WOULD HAVE DONE:

Kaidan: *hug* "Shepard, I'm so glad to see you. I heard a rumor you were alive, but I didn't dare hope when Anderson stonewalled me..." *looks at other people standing around and leans close to whisper* "Can I talk to you in private?"
Shepard: *glances around and pulls him out of sight and earshot of anyone else*
Kaidan: *crosses arms and stares expectantly* "Okay Shepard, I know you must have a plan. Fill me in on all this Cerberus nonsense. We need to figure out how we're going to deal with the Reapers."
*Kaidan and Shepard have thoughtful heart to heart and brainstorm on how best to deal with things in their current positions*

Something more along those lines. He certainly wouldn't have freaked out on my always goody-goody Shep in such a way. It wasn't believable for me. It's why I set the game aside for so long after I only played it once. It hurt! Pain sucks.

I can't be mean to people! Even when the people are fictional.

Yeah, the only reason I can believe the Horizon scenario is because Kaidan is slightly hot-headed, as we know from what happened with Vyrnnus. He bottles things up, so I can see him blowing up after being so lonely, mournful, etc. for two years. And the only reason I believe Shepard's reactions/responses is because he/she is such a private person. My Shep wouldn't let herself become too emotional in front of the other crew present. WHICH IS WHY I WOULD HAVE LIKED A PRIVATE CONVERSATION OPTION, BIOWARE. <_<

And I took the opposite reaction with replaying it. I was sadly desparate for more Kaidan even if he was angry, so I was like, MUST PLAY AGAIN JUST TO SEE KAIDAN. I suppose I could've replayed ME1 but ME2 is much prettier and I didn't feel like driving the mako.

Heya, I finally worked up the courage to de-lurk after, like, six months. Kudos to my brother for letting me use his BSN account, which has been collecting dust for half past forever. Anyway.

First of all, lookie lookie! Kaidan has support all the way over here in Japan! *gestures enthusiastically* (Pay no attention to the American citizenship behind the curtain kthxbai.)

And RE: Horizon:
I thought his reaction was very in-character for him and it actually surprised me to learn that some people think otherwise. It's very unusual for him to devote himself to something - or someone - wholeheartedly, so when his relationship with Shepard fell through, he didn't know how to handle it very well. If it had been anyone else he probably would have been much more cool-headed on Horizon.
I'm also of the camp that agrees with Kaidan's reasons and thought that Shepard's lines were herpderpy. Gahh stupid Cerberus, my canon Shep hated working with them almost as much as I did. But unlike me, she didn't have the excuse of limited dialogue options, so I like to think that Kaidan was right about her being manipulated. All the more reason for him to be angry.

I used to be that way too, until I figured out how much fun it could be to punch annoying characters. And let the Council die.

WHICH IS WHY I WOULD HAVE LIKED A PRIVATE CONVERSATION OPTION, BIOWARE. <_<

That's the main reason I couldn't buy the scene. No way would Kaidan have gone off like that in front of strangers. In private? Yeah. Totally. The whole thing was just....GAH! I have to stop this rant before I become even more boring by belaboring my personal opinion.

And I took the opposite reaction with replaying it. I was sadly desparate for more Kaidan even if he was angry, so I was like, MUST PLAY AGAIN JUST TO SEE KAIDAN.

I replayed that freaking boss battle endlessly to go through all the conversation options, but the rest of the game was drudgery for me without Kaidan. BUT! I replayed it twice recently and loved it since I know what to expect now. I just had to take time to mourn his loss for a while before coming back to play again.

I suppose I could've replayed ME1 but ME2 is much prettier and I didn't feel like driving the mako.

Methinks I cursed more trying to drive that thing up weird mountain slopes than at any other time in the game. :lol:Give me Saren to fight anyday! What? The MAKO?? *screams and runs away*

I played trough the original Mass Effect -- not knowing anything about the game prior to playing it; literally, nothing -- and was blown away by the story, and the epic struggle of it all, of course ... but in the back of my mind, a quiet voice kept saying: maybe you can make Kaidan fall in love with you.  It wasn't that Kaidan was particularly all that and a bag of chips, but it was the first time I played a video game that appeared to have the option of a possible intertwined male-male romance that might have some tertiary effect on the plotline.  That idea intrigued me, and was a highly gratifying thought.

What I came here to ponder, aside from oggling Kaidan (and James; what can I say, I'm a sucker for the muscled jarhead, too) is that ...

... I played through all of ME1 waiting for that reveal, and it never happened.  I wasn't disappointed, I just thought "Okay, well, close enough.  I'll just mimic real life and play Shepard as the celebate, non-committal, non-sexually oriented guy.  He'll be all about the mission, all business.  Who has time for that sex and romance stuff, anyway!?  I have a universe to save!"

... BUT SECRETLY ... my male Shepard, with his shaved high-and-tight, his steel eyes, scarred face, all tough-as-nails and Renegade and badass on the outside ... harbored a deep, passionate, torrid bonfire of love for his male Lieutenant.  We're talking, like, American Beauty, here.

At least, that was how I envisioned it.

So, at every chance I got I was all cotton candy and sunshine with my secret crush.  Any time I could get him alone on the Normandy, find some secluded corner near the Mess Hall or whatever, it was just compliment and flirt and compliment, as nice as I could be ... but that Kaidan, he resisted me!  My male Shepard didn't like being resisted, no sir!  However, being ever the military gentleman, he didn't push things too hard.  He saved Kaidan's ass on Virmire, (I'm trying really hard not to make a crack, here ... ... too late) but after that it was just ... okay great knowing you see you round.  Poor Shep, he never got to share his true feelings, and then ...

Then Mass effect 2 came out, and I thought "Oh wow, I can't wait to get the chance to see where this goes!"

Nothing.  I engaged every companion in conversation and anytime Kaidan's name came up, I frantically spun that little conversation wheel with all the might my index finger could muster on the mouse -- to no avail.  Oh sure, I asked Anderson what had happened to my boy's secret man-crush ... and I told that girl who fed his fish that he missed Kaidan a real lot ...  And when I finally met HIM on Horizon ... I did everything in my power to reconcile ... but his words burned, they BURNED  ... and we had to part as enemies.

Now I hear that ME3 will finally, good Lord in Heaven Above -- FINALLY -- give Shepard the courage to act on his convictions ... and bare it all for his man, let it all out for the world to see!  So to say. 

I couldn't be more happy.

Of course, if this Vega person gets in the way, there may be some fights in the yard.  Man's got to represent, after all.  Nothing's gonna come between male Shepard and his man.  Not THIS time!  Well, nothing that shouldn't be there, at least ...

On Horizion I was so excited to see Kaidan! Awww he is hugging me then RAWR!!! I stared at the screen I swear for a minute going wtf just happened???!! Then I was sooo angry and upset. What sucked is we couldn't respond the way we should of been able too. So I read the e-mail then met Thane O.o...got a soft spot for him as well. I have a triangle with Thane on that one. 2nd time I started seeing where Kaidan was coming from and he will be the only one. I'm very curious to see how this will all play out.

P.S. Has anyone been mostly renegade? I'm paragon

a word of warning: Kaidan does not engage in threesomes (yes, it's canon )
because if you play as femShep and flirt with Kaidan and Liara (or are generally nice enough to both and don't block the romance at a certain point) they'll come to you after a main mission and demand you clarify whom you want to be with. The options inlcude 'maybe Shepard could have both' ...
Kaidan disapproves -100


since you're on a PC, at some point the devs were looking into making Kaidan and Ashley available as bi LIs, most of the dialog is there, but you have to fool the game a bit and while Shepard will look like a guy and have the male voice, people will refer to you as m'am and a she and in Harkins' case 'princess' (<- which is just hilarious because Shepard also has the female animation for that scene)

you'd have to fire up the console and change the gender flag and I recently found a way to do this with a custom Shepard as well. As far as I know you can import that save into ME2 without problems (couldn't test it myself yet), and I can't guarantee it would work when importing into ME3.

But if you don't want to wait until ME3 to possibly romance Kaidan as an mShep officially and want to try this let me know, I wanted to type down the instructions anyway at some point

Hello, welcome, and damn that was awesome to read!  Here's to hoping your manShep gets his heart's desire in ME3!

Delurking again.  I totally reacted that way too.  Whaaa? <_< Who are you and what have you done with my Kaidan.  And then I really thought about it...He's said everything my Shep was thinking.  However, I've always gamed it like Shep knows all about black ops and then she got famous--through idiots in PR, big blanking idiots in PR, career ruining IDOITS in PR.  Sh knows all about control chips and her ship being a gilded cage and the multiple spies on board.  If she ran, she wouldn't get far, would get a control chip in the head.  But his reaction as Ashley all the way.  He wouldn't react like that without a serious conversation with you.  Mission first, mission first is his mantra through all of ME1. 

So, back to "Who are you and what have you done with my Kaidan?" <_<  I am super worried about what the devs said about Kaidan being an "important" character.  I don't trust them right now.  Can you say ...I can't even type it.  If I have to shoot Kaidan for the good of the mission, Bioware will be in trouble.
