yeah, well do people say Kaidan is whiny? Ive never heard him whining!
I'm sure if you asked his haters to give examples, they either have none, or will say he whines about his headaches. (which was one line about him having a headache. It wasn't whiny, just him stating he had a headache).
But whatever, I don't care if people don't like Kaidan, that's their right, but it's hard to understand their POV when they don't have a real reason for it.
I am going to break the cardiall "Not a Kaidan Fan" rule, and give y'all a hopefully proper point of view. XD
Let me just start off by saying that I do like Kaidan. He's just not my cup of tea as a romance option.
He absolutely does not whine! Kaidan just states he has a headache, but that's the only time he says anything about it. The L2 implants are obviously harsh on the body, so if he has a headache, he has a headache. Hell, he could whine if he wants to, but he knows he has it "better" than the rest of the L2s. His work ethic is admirable, and he's so controlled because of his biotics. I can sympathize with that. And he watches out for Shepard, which is very nice. People say he "whines" when he starts talking about his past. Well, what did they expect when they wanted to get to know him? Everyone on the crew has issues. If they didn't want to bother, then they shouldn't talk to anyone. I think Kaidan needed to talk about what happened, though. Shepard was there lending and ear, so why not?
As a romance option? As I stated in my intro, not my cup of tea. I recently played ME intending to romance Kaidan with a clear head. I've romanced him a couple other times before, but I moved on with Garrus. In this particular experimental playthrough, I decided to be faithful to him through and through. I admit, it was fun to get him to loosen up a bit. Although my Shepard was a bit of a Renegade, in my head canon, she tickled him to death until he finally cracked a smile. Kaidan is a sweet man who's deeply wounded. I liked that about Kaidan: that he is willing to take a chance in breaking his rules.
But in personal taste? Kaidan doesn't much appeal to me. I guess he's too "boy next door", and my uterus doesn't go "HELLOOOOO NURSE" whenever I see him. I get that best friend vibe from him as some people only get that vibe from Garrus, or Tali, or Joker.
In the end, I think it all just comes down to personal taste. Some people just don't like cherry ice cream. But it is silly when their only excuse is: "it's cold."
Anyway. I hope I didn't offend anyone, I just thought I'd give y'all a clear point of view from someone who likes Kaidan as a buddy, but not a romance option.
One day that may change, but that is my current opinion of Mr. Alenko right now. It's certainly a bit warmer than it used to be.
And I'll say it again: Kaidan does NOT whine.

I don't understand how he's being whiny when talking about his past. He normally keeps to himself, and he obviously trusts Shepard enough to confide in him/her. That's it. It's not like he's COMPLETELY hung up about it too... "I'm 32, Shepard. You don't serve as long as I have without coming to terms with yourself," er... how whiny? Right.
I should... probably get ready for work. Oh Kaidan, how you distract me, lmao.

Thanks for your input, phantomThat was a good read. I'm glad that even a non-Kaidan romancer can see that he's not whiny. My friend once told me that he really likes Kaidan but thought he was always whining about his headaches and being a biotic. Even though I never played as broShep (yet) I didn't believe him LOL. So. It was good to read that.

And he's not.
My guess is that people miss Carth.

but Carth isn't whiny either - he's chatty, suspicious and emotional, but whiny? /blinks... I swear its just a catch all word to attach to someone you don't like for some people >_>

Well, that's what I meant. Sorry, didn't specify. I meant people miss Carth because he's chatty, jokes a bit.

So we went one town over to that wal mart, it was like it was on another planet that didnt have black friday shopping, was sooo laid back, heehee.
Edit: Kaidan is ahead by 16 now! <3

I'm new too this thread, so I have finally decided too post here !
I am a big Kaidan fan, I don't always have him as a LI, cause hes always a great friend too my Shepard's.
But I just adore his romance scenes and him ! Haha!
I also, as I was reading a moment ago, don't understand why people dislike Kaidan, just because he talks about his headaches, And if I remember correctly, he only talks about it once in the game(s).
/Sigh
Anywho c:
I love Kaidan just as all the fangirls/boys.
But hes not always my romance option, I gotta go separate ways sometimes. -.-.
Hope I don't offend anyone by saying that!
Can't wait too see him in Me3

Hi there! No worries no one's going to kill you.... yet
I'm kidding = P Just because you vary your playthroughs doesn't make you a bad fan. Heck, I have only two characters, and one virmired him!
But I don't feel guilty over that because I love Ash too. That doesn't deminish the love for Kaidan
Neither does you rather obvious love for Thane, hehehehe.
Take a seat! All Kaidan-love is good kaidan-love <3

he does only mention his headache once, well twice if you count elevator conversation where Ashley asks him how he's feeling, but its not like he goes - "aww awww my head hurts, woe is me", on the contrary - she asks him if he's ok and he says that his headaches are better and less frequent.
@ Phantom - see, that's the thing, some people say that Carth is whiny /shrug. their loss

I won't speak of Thane here, I ramble about him too much anyways in Thane Thread
I, sadly, cant ever Virmire Kaidan. Watching him makes me tear up and I just.. have to re-load.
I love Ashley also, but my love for Kaidan is bigger than my love for Ash
Kaidan is just..so .. cute I just can't be mean and let him die. And I don't regret keeping him alive like some do on Horizon. <3

Apparently when you badger him into talking about his issues to the point where he wants to break your face is all good fun for some people... until he actually starts talking about them. Then it turns into "God, this guy whines too much, doesn't he ever shut up about his problems?" Well, you asked him, now deal with it.

I'm a 100% Kaidan fan, but I can say that Tali and Gurrus are my Shep's BFF, just not my Shep's taste, I could never hate them
Thanks for stopping by in the thread

Well, my canon is romance but my MShep who virmire'd him because he had to tap dat as...h was totally his bro. I always saw them bonding over throwing geth-ships into atmo.
*sigh* good times.
Edit: DAMN IT

this makes so much weird sense because of new Fmeshep design.
