And on topic : I always take Kaidan to the bomb because a) he never leaves my Shepard's side, and B) he's the techspert so it makes more sense to take him to the bomb and send the soldier with the Salarians. I've never been able to bring myself to Virmire Kaidan.


^^^This it just makes more sense to me


Did the same thing for the same reasons.:wizard:

I always let Kaidan go with the Salarians. It makes no sense that Captain Kirrahae (or however you spell it) survives and is back on the Normandy, yet Ashley couldn't make it. I teared up at the death scene, though, when I first saw it. I've never left Kaidan behind, and unless I make a MaleShep playthrough, I probably never will.

Even my male Shep saved Kaidan, lol.  Of course that may be because I'm completely biasedImage IPB

@Jenova *Fistbump* Cool moms unite. :D

@Lady I'll advise you if you like, but there's lots of yelling in my house to turn the music down. Sheesh, my kids never let me play my tunes as loud as I want. :innocent:

I always take Kaidan with me on Virmire, and send Ash with the Salarians. I just always figure she took a hit before the Salarians made it out. :crying:

Mine too! Of course, I felt slightly bad because he flirts with Ash, and then lets her die. But not only am I totally biased, Kaidan is higher up the chain of command and is also a biotic. Sorry Ash.

The salarians split into three teams.  Both Kirrahe and Rentola and their two teams meet up with the Normandy somewhere else.  Ash/Kaidan's team is the only team that gets pinned down at the tower.  It makes sense both ways.

Entertaining observation: many people claim that leaving Kaidan at the bomb is intuitive, since he's the tech-inclined.  But if you don't choose one or the other, the game sends Kaidan with the salarians while Ash goes with the bomb.  :blink:

I just never understood how there was enough time to pick up the surviving Salarians and then Shepard at the bomb site but there wasn't enough time to send the Normandy in to save Ash and the Salarians and then pick up Shepard & Kaidan at the bomb site, if that makes any sense

from what I understood - Normandy could only pick up people at the set randevu poing and having to go back for the other team would not leave them enough time to get to the Normandy before the bomb blows.

I usualy  leave Kaidan at the bomb.  at makes more sence to me to send a tech to do a tech job.  and Ash does have experience leading a squad, so its not like she's incapable.

Meh. It never really made a great deal of sense for me either. Especially considering the Asari you let go gets away because you see her again in ME2. Did she have a convenient shuttle waiting for her? You can rationaize it either way, but bottom line, it's just the game forcing you into an "emotional decision." <_<

I didn't think Ash would die when I sent her with the Salarians because you know, she's really good at shooting. D8 (I was like WHAT THE HELL GAME for a good several minutes)

oh yeah, Rana >_> I had to rationalize it with gameplay/story segregation. specifically that there's a lot more time that passes between the part where we find her and the part where we have to chose between Ash and Kaidan, then what we actualy get in gameplay (after all the game is about 30 hours,but it takes place over a course of a year). especially since you meet her before the bomb is even placed.  with Ash/Kaidan though, there's about 10 minutes to get whomever you are saving.

I don't think it was the nuke that killed Ash/Kaidan, but rather the firefight they were in before you pick up the surviving salarians.  The nuke prevented collection of her body, though.

Considering whoever is at the tower gets shot down almost before you get there (if you go to the tower) or right after you get to the bomb site (if you go to the bomb site), I suspect it's simply a matter of: they're already dead if you're at the bomb site and the bomb is moments away from exploding if you're at the tower.

Funny thing is I actually had no idea what was going to happen on Virmire. Usually I'm spoiled somewhere but I was completely unprepared. Even the foreshadowing about not being together anymore went completely over my head.

I was like "Haha! You'll be fine. They won't kill off a companion like that. I'll go get you if I need to. You're so silly, Ashley lol"

Even up to the point where I was on the bridge and they asked me to save one or the other. I just stood there like, "...What?" for a couple of minutes. It was my first bioware game and it was the first decision I made in a video game where I didn't just push the button in two seconds. IT was awesome.

I always like humor in my game, so it's kind of sad to hear that they will be going a heavier route. But if they are going the emotional route in this game, it better be extremely emotional. I have never cried while playing a video game before. And I mean really cry like when you see a movie or tv show and it just slaps you across the face.

I've never seen anything other than cheap deaths in games before so that's probably why. I don't want Kaidan to die without choice, but I'd like an option, for everyone really. And it better be passionate, heart wrenching, and having me run for tissues.

so once in awhile i track fandoms and to see any shifts that might have happened via a poll i do.

ive noticed over the last few polls theres been a stark shift towards a certain Mr. Alenko, I was wondering what catalyst drove this fandom to such prominent heights post-VS spectre announcement.
