Do you think when they were creating Kaidan as a character they knew they would use Raphael Sbarge? Or was it a ploy to get us to love him as much as we loved the Carth romance?

I think they always had Sbarge in mind to play Kaidan.  It's just a shame that so many people wrote him off as soon as they heard his voice because they didn't like Carth, even though their characters are different. 

His voice is what made me play ME1 in the first place, lol.  My sons had been trying to get me to play for ages because mum + shooting anything is always a good laugh.  Finally they came out with "you can romance Carth, it's the same VA" which pretty much sealed my fate and made me fall in love with ME1 and Kaidan.

Same here. My son always tried to get me into playing ME1 and I was like...nay...I rather like medieval games and then he told me about Kaidan (and since I was a curious person, I checked it out on Youtube a bit) and yes, that convinced me to play ME1 and today I have more playthroughs than my son and still love the game and Kaidan is my favorite pixxel hero, right in front of Carth

[sesheta255]

I'm not sure if Kaidan is my favourite, I'm torn between him and Alistair depending on my mood, lol, but Carth is definitely 3rd in the list.

Yeah Aslan, I always get "you're playing ME1 again? haven't you played it a million times already?" lmao. I think the boys had 2 Shepards and I had 2 dozen, lol.

It's just a shame that ME1 tends to crash my pc these days for some unknown reason, but luckily I have lots of talk to Kaidan saves that I can usually load before it crashes, lmao

See..... I like Carth.. but he was a bit............ *whispers* whiny... (IMO) lol
So liking Kaidan had nothing to do with Carth syndrome.. I preferred Obsidian's Atton... But Kaidan is always number one for me and after him there is Zevran and I do love Fenris.. But Kaidan certainly occupies the top spot without equal at this point in time

I do the same thing - Kaidan and Alistair go back and forth as front-runner depending on my mood. I think it's because there's about a 12-year age difference between them, and between Shep and the Warden, and so it depends on whether I'm in the mood for a goofy-yet-adorable younger man or a mature, sexy older one. Those two plus Carth, Anders, Sky and Atton all together in my Steam library, it's like picking off of a menu! A swoony romance for every occasion.

lmao, we've all got it bad.  I loved Atton and wish there had been more of a romance arc with him.  I romanced Sky but didn't really get too enamored with him.  I loved Anders in Awakenings but not in DA2, and I like Fenris but just don't feel as attached to the DA2 characters as I do with the ME and DAO ones.  Of course I'd jump Nathaniel if he ever became a LI, lol

The problem is that Sbarge could read a shopping list and I'd swoon so I never really had a chance where Carth or Kaidan were concerned.

Heh, my birthday was last week and for a gift I requested a recording of Raphael Sbarge reading erotic poetry, or, failing that, a physics text. Alas, my friends did not take the hint.  I swear, that man can make anything sound sexy.

I approve.

[sesheta255]

Hi my name's Sesh, I have no life and am addicted to pixelated men, lmao.  Especially if they are voiced by Sbarge or are such great characters like Kaidan.

and just to get back on Kaidan (so to speak)

LOL...I would approve as well...Even so Kaidan will always be my number 1. And then Carth...and then Alistair and Anders ...Yeah, I know I have a <3for Anders, even so I'm very dissapointed what BW made out of him .

Kaidan is so special for me, because of his wonderful written character. I love that he's so "normal", that he's no macho, that he's mature, intelligent and I love his sense of humor ...*sighs*...he's just wonderful:wub:

And I can't wait to see him in ME3 again...I'm a bad girl, I know, but it's more important for me to work out the relationship than saving the world of the Reapers...LOL...

Hahaha, it was reverse for me. I played Mass Effect first, and when I saw the waves and waves and waves of "Kaidan is a Carth clone!" on the internet, I was like "There's MORE Kaidan out there?! Sign me up!"

Oddly enough, when I got the game, it was such a...I don't want to say "huge disappointment," but I definitely felt...no, not "ripped off," but it was most certainly not what I signed up for. I actually tried to find similarities between the two. Like, seriously. I sat down and actively attempted to make a list of things they have in common. Here's pretty much what that amounted to:
1. Both human.
2. Both male.
3. Both...soldiers, I guess. (Even though Kaidan is a marine and Carth is a pilot.)
4. Both...
5. Uh...
6. ...

It was at that point that I concluded the internet is full of stupid people. Earthshattering discovery, I know, try to contain your surprise.

That said, buying that game is probably one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. Not even kidding. Though I like Kaidan better as a character (cuz he's a lot nicer. We don't get enough nice guys in fictional romances these days, IMO.), I feel secure in saying that I hold Carth's romance path up as one of my favorite subplots of all time. Mostly because of...*that scene* that happens after you've visited 3/4 of the main worlds. Anyone who's played the game will know what I'm talking about.

Why is it that I can't ever share my experiences without diving headfist into gushing about Bioware's writing?! Why?!

He isn't *macho* but he does manage to be the most masculine guy in the game......... imo.... *sigh*

Absolutely. Maturity, intelligence, and protectiveness are a lot more masculine than all that macho bluster.

In other words...swoooon.

Oh yes, you both are so right. That's exactly the way I feel about Kaidan

[Jenova65]

Yeah........................................... *double sigh*

[Joisan]

I agree.  As a soldier, he's decidedly competent and professional (well, unless you romance him, in which case I can think of one scene that is decidedly *not* professional ) and judging by his comment to Shepard about L2s spiking higher than L3s, he's probably in the top 5-10% of human biotics, but he doesn't make a big deal out of it.  He's content to take satisfaction in a job well-done without needing to brag about it all over the place or go out of his way to display his badassery

I am perpetually baffled by Kaidan's sideburns and how a guy who's out in the field, fighting, keeps himself that well groomed. I don't ever play a FemShep, but how about a feature where if he's your LI, he puts that skill to good use and lets you change hairstyles if you're aboard the Normandy?

He could be like Butch DeLoria

[Joisan]

*Shrugs* If he has time to shave so he doesn't have a beard, I'd say he has time to trim his sideburns too. It's one of those "you have to use your imagination" kind of things. Like, there are no bathrooms or showers on the ME1 Normandy, but they obviously have to have been there and the crew obviously has to have had time to make use of them. For the sake of entertainment, the game tries to keep you in the action as much as possible, but realistically when they go from planet to planet, they're spending anywhere from several hours to several days in transit depending on the distances involved.

My first thought was of the Kings' hairdresser from New Vegas. "The Kings are many and their hair must be perfect!"

What? This guy may do something with players' hair? Would never guess.

And... how exactly this work if you want to make char's hair longer? Especially if s/he was completely bald?

Morning. (Yes, I said it).

I didn't know about the romances when I played and tbh Mass Effect was the first RPG I played with a romance. The game I played the most before ME was Oblivion, and there were no romances there (but I heard Skyrim will have them, I, for one, am not really caring about that). I played the whole game, paragon and being nice to everyone, the next thing I know... Liara and Kaidan are asking my Shepard to choose. Long story short, Liara was history.

The next thing I know, I'm playing again and again. I have always been a member of the Elder Scroll boards (way back from Daggerfall... you can still find me there, Nightodie of course) But I never spent time on the boards more than finding answers usually to technical problems.

Then I found this board. I was into Kaidan, but I wasn't quite obsessed yet... then I found the first KAST... and I read what you guys wrote... and I played again ... I was hooked. Kaidan had stolen my heart.

No matter who comes along in the future, Kaidan will always be my first (pixelated) love. He will also be the man that got me into writing. I'm not always sure that's a good thing. (today might be a not day).

Of course, I fell in love with all of you, too.

You're all addicting.
