@oddlyotter @trinity You both have talent. I like it.

So today we get some news from GTTV? Is there hope, we will see something about Kaidan? maybe a short cutscene?

It's no good, I just started another playthrough... and while she looked ok in the character builder, this shep looks a bit like a googly-eyed elf. First time I played through I ended up choosing a nose I wasn't happy with because I didn't know I could rotate while in the character designer. I thought about fixing her for ME2 but I couldn't bear to change a thing - she's imperfect and perfect at the same time. Hoping I'll grow to love the elf lady too!

Oh and I totally agree on that one line "I'm more interested in just talking for a bit" - that's one reason why I almost never talked to Jacob for fear of the accidental romance and potential loss of faithfulness to Kaidan!

Most irritating detail in CC is that shape of cheekbones can only be checked while Shepard is rotating. As a result, some of my Sheps ended with extra melee weapon.

Oh, and about "talking for a bit" - generic "start dialogue / end dialogue" lines drive me crazy. Touching family story... with "I should go" in the end. Going to each others throats with Ashley... and then playful "dismissed, chief".

But! "Shepard" - "Wrex":lol:

I know, right?  Coco Rocha has made a career off of hers!  And also, welcome back!
I had one Shep with cheekbones that looked lethal though.  They were dangerously pointy.  In ME2 I changed her back to the default preset and switched around her hair and makeup.

"I should go" makes me laugh every time now. 

I'd love a renegade goodbye.  "Oh yeah, Jack? Well F you too!"

Does anyone know what model/actor Kaidan's face was based on? Or if he was even modelled after anyone in particular? He does look more like a real person than a lot of video game characters.

The theory I really like says he was modeled after Casey Hudson :-P Someone (Isaac Shepard, I think) even had comparison picture.

Speaking more seriously, Kaidan, as most of characters, took a lot from VA - look at this picture, then mentally change skin tone, irises tone, hair colour (in other words - switch from blond look which looked strange at ME1 engine to "olive-skinned" type) and haircut.

Hi in there

first message in this forum... I apologize in advance for all the mistakes, as english is not my native language (I'm french).

I've just finished playing ME1 for the first time (I know, I know, it was about time !), and loved it. I especially loved the characters, and among them my femshep and Kaidan turned out to be my favourite. And, of course, Shepard WITH Kaidan. So much that I feel the urgent need to talk about it.
Well, as readers/writers of this topic, I think you know how I feel


It was strange with Kaidan. At first, I thought "meeeh, does HE have to be my love interest ?". Sure, his smile, when shepard tells him the beacon accident was not his fault, was super cute, but, well, you know... at first you don't know his personality, and uuuh... his haircut... well, it takes some time to get used to it !
In fact, I thought that my shepard was attracted to him way too early.

But one day I chose to go on a mission with teammates I didn't know well, you know, to get to know them better. For the first time I was outside the Normandy without Kaidan.

And...
And I missed him ! My god how I missed him !

And that's when I realized that I had slowly become attached to him. And I thought it was wonderfully written by bioware. Kaidan is not the typical romantic stereotype you usually find in games, movies or litterature. He's not a fantasme. He feels "real". He is (almost) a normal guy, but an especially nice, and mature, one.

I love how he highly respects Shepard, and cares for her, without being neither an overprotecting macho nor a devoted servant. He is respecful of the hierarchy but is not afraid to tell her what he thinks, or to give her advises. As Shepard says, he is a real shoulder upon which you can lean.

It is an equal-equal relationship, and it is so rare in fictions that I found it very refreshing (and as a feminist, I have to applaud !).

For the first time, I felt that this video game had not been designed only for a male audience. I could really connect with the mighty femshep, her charisma, and her feelings for her so nice lieutenant.

Thanks Bioware. Now I want to play again to ME1 with another personality. And then, ME2 (although I already spoiled myself on the Kaidan storyline )

Well, I finally played the KOA demo, and I've got to admit that I liked it. I was a little disappointed that I didn't get to finish all those quests in time. I'll probably buy it way, way down the line. Right now, I'm still finishing up my "ultimate" playthrough. I'm halfway done with ME2 and, my God, does it feel like an eternity. I agree with a comment a few pages back (don't remember who said it) that ME2 feels like such a chore. And I think lack of Kaidan has alot to do with that. In ME1, I looked forward to talking to him after every mission...even if it was just to hear "I've wasted enough of your time for now, Commander", lol.

@ Lauren: Hmm, I don't think he was modeled after anybody in particular. If he wasn't, they did a damn good job of "creating" him. I agree that he looks more real than many video game characters out there.

Welcome!

I think Kaidan had that sort of effect with everyone, I was a late comer to the ME series aswell!

[mineralica]

Welcome, Altie! Story about "uhh... haircut" Kaidan which grows on player closer to end of game is too familiar for me And I was some kind of late comer because I first played ME just after DAO release.

And on topic of cheekbones: pronounced cheekbones are good, but sudden extra melee weapon is not.

Actually, Kaidan reminds me somewhat of 90s canadian tv actor Von Flores:



Most likely not a direct model, but probably an inspiration.

Welcome, Altie!
If you hadn't mentioned it, I don't think I would've been able to tell that English isn't your first language, you're very fluent!

I was a latecomer, too, I got ME1 last August And I didn't like Kaidan at first, either, surprisingly. But he completely won me over after the beacon incident.

[kromify]

delurking - the cheekbones wind me up also. i wish there was an option for changing their height since they always end up in the wrong place after i've changed the facial proportions 

I didn't particulary like Kaidan at first but he has grown on me a lot. Which is much better than those who start out well but go downhill swiftly (like a goodlooking face with a jackass of a personality!). but kaidan is sweet

[sesheta255]

I have to say that I'm sure some of my Sheps could have taken out a number of mercs without drawing a gun because of those damn cheekbones, lol. I've lost count of the number of games I started and ditched once I got on the NOrmandy and saw her cheekbones, lol. They didn't look too bad up until then.

Kaidan had my attention from the moment he spoke, lol. Although I have to admit that the only reason I played ME1 in the first place was because my sons had been badgering me to play it and finally got my attention when they told me I could romance Carth, lmao.

[LadyofRivendell]

Oh, I just remembered that I had a ME-ish related dream the other night (Or, at least, Kaidan was in it). It wasn't very exciting, Jacob stole my horse and Kaidan knocked Jacob out with a frying pan, then returned my horse. Not exactly the romance Kaidan dream that some of you around here have reported having

I'm glad my femshep trailer thread is getting attention because honestly I just want an awesome femshep trailer in hopes I get cinematic Kaidan :3

EDIT: Oooo TOP I'ma plug my own kaidan art werks

Okay yes I'm starting to get really worried we are not ever seeing our femshep trailer!!! I'm going to go find that thread of yours!! 

And squee Kaidan! I made a 'movie' out the ME1 cutscenes on one of my youtube channels and I made my husband watch it with me because he's just never going to end up finishing the game. He got to the citadel and lost interest. I just can't allow him to not see the awesomeness of the Mass Effect... ANYWAY, what I'm trying to say and express is the extreme eye roll moment when Liara is telling Shep her feelings and the hubby says this: 

Why didn't you romance her? She's so cute and hot! That Kaidan guy is annoying. 

OMG! I guess I know where he would have gone. Little does hubby realizes that Kaidan actually reminds me of him.. lol!! But in the end he did end up chuckling at some of Kaidan's clever lines so I'll take what I can get.

Oh, that's awesome! Not to bash Jacob, but see him, rather big guy, knocked out with a frying pan... Pity it wasn't Grunt.

My latest (today's) ME dream was rather vivid what is unusual for me and supposedly span around beginning of ME3. James and Alyson (main femShep) discussing Major Alenko and Admiral Anderson while Kaidan and Anderson discussed Shepard and Vega.

And about boyfriends and fav characters: I'm lucky, Andrei likes Kaidan a lot - probably only Miranda and both krogans are higher ranked squadmates in his books. Too bad his favourite character is TIM.

[Bekkael]

Hello, my fellow Kaidanites. Just popping in to show off a few of my Shepards!

This is Kira, my Paragade Soldier who is loyal to Kaidan. She was my first character and is my fail!Shep. (Wrex is dead, the council is dead, the entire ME2 crew is dead etc.)


This is Elizabeth, my Paragon Sentinel, also loyal to Kai-bear. She's my perfect character and likely the one I'll be taking through ME3 first.



This is another Sentinel: Rene... My only Renegon. She was devastated after Horizon and found comfort with Thane in ME2, but is conflicted and confused as to who she really loves. It will be interesting for her to find out in ME3.
Pre-Surgery:

Post-Surgery:

The comforting time with Thane.

And the uncertainty that still plagues her...


I know, I know, all my Shepards look alike. I fail the CC.

I also have Emerald (Sentinel), Jade (Adept), Eiren (Infiltrator), and Katt Shepard (Adept), but I'll quit with the flood of pictures. For anyone at all curious, you can see them all here.

[Bekkael]

@Silver Thank you! ♥ Some of the ones not pictured look a little different.

Just for fun, here's Jade in pink armor. XD (Barbie Shepard FTW!)

[Trinity Shep]

@fdgvdddvdfdfbdfb I agree my shepard has cheekbone, and a lot of it and i think she looks fantastic, different than any other FemShep ive seen actually! I took her look from a Character creator that made hers look like Natalie Portman on facebook but changed what i didnt like!

@Altie i totally agree! i didnt have a thing for him right away either, actually i played ME2 first and he was just chosen to be the survivor, i hardly remembered him that much, so when i played ME1 and actually took the time to talk to him. He just seemed to passionate and the conversation was ALWAYS interesting with him, it was never enough!
I was also very late to ME, i played ME2 maybe a year ago and than got ME1, i only got into it after watching my boyfriend play and he was trying to romance Miranda, i used to sit there and tell him what to say, ask him when he came to visit if he hooked up with her yet! lol So one day he had things to do and he left me alone in his room, so i picked up the Xbox and looked and WOW!! I can make a Female! and i was hooked!

@Soccerchic6 Ya it was me that said it, it just goes on forever, so much scanning and soooo many loyalty missions, drives me crazy i want more story, more fun i dunno, maybe its just cause its all too easy.. that could be it? ME1 i felt was more of a challenge, especially Benezia! i found all the bosses way too easy in ME2.

[Trinity Shep]

Awww i feel like posting a good picture of my femshep.. too bad id have to take it with my camera, but here she is!

This is Trinity Shepard, paragon, faithful to Kaidan, saved the citadel, rachni and Wrex! No one died in my suicide mission as well! Shes perfect! and look at those cheekbones!


I love her armor, purple with pink and yellow!

and if you cant tell from this picture, as its taken with my iPhone she has those purple like blue eyes!

[Trinity Shep]

i think if your gonna have strong cheekbones you need a strong jaw to soften it! thats why it works so well on Trinity! She has a very strong jaw line

[ConnyB]

I played ME2 first too, when my BF bought it. I played a mShep so I got default Ashley on Horizon and knew nothing about Kaidan! Then later I found out that Raphael Sbarge voices the male LI in the first ME - I just love that voice, have done ever since KOTOR - so I then played ME with a fShep, and have been quite obsessed with it ever since. I must say, the second one makes a lot more sense if you've got the background from the first one - my initial ME2 game was kind of like, "Cerberus? Who's that then? Yeah okay, I'll work for you" - as opposed to "Cerberus?! I'll never work for you!" etc.

Edit: ahhh top - somebody post a picture please!!
