Oh the top pic is too cute! Escpecially the description underneath: "Check out my sweet **** pic with SPECTRE Kaidan. lols." XD
Anyways I think the worst part of ME2 for me was that I hadn't read any Kaidan related spoilers, so the whole game I was waiting for him to come back to my Shep. =(
As to the whole mother thing, my Shep is a colonist kid so I don't have too much of an opinion on this, but I think it would fit that Kaidan at least talked to her after the funeral and they grieved together. However, I'm not sure how long it would last as both would remind each other of the person they had lost.
Same with me. I knew nothing and got ME2 at release, all excited to be with my snugglebunny again for a whole new game. I squeed when he ran up to Shep when the ship was on fire (although I wondered what in heck he was doing wearing Phoenix armor lol), then wondered how long it would be until I got him back when I got stuck with Miranda, Jacob and T.I.M. Horizon hit me like a punch in the gut....especially when I didn't have the option to leave those Cerberus punks and go with Kaidan, as all my Shepards would have
actually done.
The rest of the game I was in shock and experienced various levels of WTF. After I finished it I experienced PTSD because I had the only thing that mattered to me taken away and partially villified. I was depressed IRL for several weeks afterward. Although I have played and somewhat enjoyed ME2 over the past few months, it will always hold a special place of hatred in my heart for what it put me through.
That's why I sniffed out every last bit of insider info with DA2 before it was released, including major plot points, and that's why I will do exactly the same thing for ME3. It's simply self-defense on my part. If I know I'm about to be punched, I can brace myself for it and therefore I'm more likely to survive the blow. BioWare writing is powerful and can too easily break my heart if I don't have an idea as to what's coming...
Conversely, Skyrim comes out soon (in 8 hours and 4 minutes for me) and I know absolutely NOTHING about the game story and I eagerly look forward to discovering everything for myself in my pristine first playthrough.

(Bethesda won't break my heart, but it also won't make me fall in love with a character, which is why I still adore BW above all.)
