See that's what I would think, that I'd be more invested in the characters cause I am with them for so long and yet, it doesn't seem to work that way.

I was really disappointed with Origins sacrifice ending, too. It just didn't really do anything for me.

Compare this scene in Armageddon to this scene in Origins. I just got nothing out of that scene in Origins despite going through the romance and everything, but I start crying when I see the end of Armageddon. I don't know if it's the lack of animations, or the dialogue, or maybe it's the fact that we never see Alistair's initial reaction to the warden's death. It just doesn't register for me in the same way.

Okay, that scene from Armageddon just made me cry. You're an evil, evil person, I hope you know that That's almost as bad as watching Black Beauty.

Edit: And it wasn't sacrificing myself in DA:O that made me cry, it was that other depressing ending...
"You can't do this, it's insane!"
"Sanest thing I've ever done."

Okay, I am, as a rule, not an emotional person.  Seriously.  But Armageddon gets me every. friggin. time.  Not a huge Liv Tyler fan, not a Ben Affleck fan, only a moderate Bruce Willis fan - but every. friggin. time.  .

So it was actually fairly recently (in the last year) that I finally played Dragon Age: Origins - after I had already played and enjoyed Dragon Age 2, replayed Kotor and Kotor 2, and was desperate for more Bioware but was ashamed to play Mass Effect yet again.    So I was enjoying it, it felt a bit dated (mostly due to the Warden not being voice acted after Dragon Age 2) but still good, romanced Alistair and was totally giggly over his silly adorableness.  I was getting near the end before my husband finally graced me with his strategy guide.  I first read that either you or Alistair would have to be sacrified to defeat the evil.

I was so angry I almost ragequit the game right then and there.  While I recognize the theoretical emotional power of the hero/heroine sacrificing themselves for the greater good, it doesn't have to be me!  or my love!  You don't invest that much time and effort and choices and emotion into a character to have them be forced to die.  ::grumble::

Then i discovered the "out" with Morrigan.  I grumbled some more - very vocally - but never hesitated in doing it.  It may not be entirely realistic, but, well, this is fantasy, and a happy ending should be possible, darn it!

Which is why they are only making me a little twitchy about ME3 with their "this is definitely the end of Shepard's story."  I'm certain (not from reading spoilers, but just certain) that Shepard can make it out of the end alive, and I'm almost certain (not from reading spoilers, but reading about spoilers) that Kaidan can also make it out of the end alive.  I accept that it won't be easy, and that I may not even get it right the first time - but as long as it's possible, I will be happy.

I suspect that I'll cry anyway.  Even though I never cry.

Except at Armageddon.

[EDIT:  And Yay for the Manipulations deluge!  Still the best fanfic (no negative on all the truly wonderful fanfics out there, many can be great but only one can be best) and the one that inspired me to truly and completely dive into the ME world.]

@crying
I just read Thane's letter to his Siha for the first time a few minutes ago and I practically cried. It was so sweet and sad. 

Also, my first time I played DAO Alistair sacrificed himself at the end because I had no idea that would happen if you didn't do the ritual. I assumed that the other warden that looks like Duncan would have been the one to die while killing the Archdemon but of course he died practically at the beginning of the battle. I was so devastated 

Yay for tomorrow or (today) being the last day of January. Then February and then MARCH!!!!! 

Lol Lilo and Stitch I love that movie

ME3 (and Kaidan) are coming soooooon and I can't wait

I know, right?! I don't know what it is, as I don't really like the actors either (okay, I am somewhat of a Liv Tyler fan), but that movie always gets me.

I actually did ragequit my first DA:O game, when Alistair dumped me after the Landsmeet (I chose Dalish Elf. Alas, ignorant me assumed that elf = wise, immortal, revered by all). The second one, Alistair sacrificed himself, because I didn't like the idea of the ritual. It was only my third playthrough that I metagamed and got the "good ending".
I know that ritual is going to have bad reprocussions...

I'm scared for my first ME3 playthrough, I just KNOW I'm going to do something wrong and either Shep or Kaidan will die (not that I've read the spoilers). But as someone a few pages back pointed out... This is Shep's final story, so something definitive has to happen. I'm really hoping it's not a scripted death. I'd probably let the whole world explode if it meant keeping Kaidan alive...
Of course, my next playthough I'd metagame to stop that from happening.

No matter what, I'll be sure to keep a Hershey's bar and box of tissues next to me when I get to the end of ME3.

Actually Unskippables is by different younger guys, but I'm pretty sure they take inspiration from the mystery science theater 3000 guys. They used to have a show on, I think on Sci-Fi where they'd make jokes about old bad movies. They no longer have the show but they now do audio files which you can play over a movie. They've done Twilight, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, etc. I like a lot of the movies they do, but they make them hilarious with all their dialogue.

Yeah, when DA3 finally comes along, I'm thinking major problems are on the way courtesy of your half-daughter witch/dragon....

I really, really don't think Shepard will have a mandatory scripted death no matter what.  The simple fact is, ME is a mainstream, tremendously successful gaming franchise, and "you" dying in every possible ending is...well, the kind of thing that happens in "niche", quirky games - not games made by EA.  It's just too much of a downer; too risky.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it <_<.

And chocolate...wouldn't it be awesome if it actually made things better instead of just tasted delicious?

Okay.  Bed.

lol So did I !! I was pissed, I came to the forums with a big WTH??? I had actually performed the ritual just to make sure, but I was an elven mage and there's no way Alistair would stay, I had not 'hardenned' him either. 

It took me a few months and I rolled Cousland and THERE I got my happy ending dang it!  :happy:

[yoshibb]

I had to start over at the landsmeet a few times, but eventually I got Anora to be queen and Alistair was free to be with my city elf. Then when the Dark Ritual came along, I really didn't mind it. I liked Morrigan, she was my character's best friend. She was offering a way to save us both. I trusted her, I guess.

It's like if Ashley told me that she had a way to kill the Reapers and no one had to die. Kaidan just has to have sex with her. First of all, I'd be pretty weirded out of why this was happening in a Science Fiction game, but the point is I'd let her do it. Cause she was Shepard's best friend and she trusted her.

[Kia Purity]

My only issue is THAT ONE line Morrigan said to Alistar-- wait a minute why are we talking about DA:O in the Kaidan thread--

if I can't spell guud, it's cause I'm tired, gnites guys XD

[kromify]

i love these polls that come out. as soon as they find their way here they are no longer impartial!

You all have been a great read. I've been hanging back, not participating, thinking I should stay the spectator but this thread encouraged me to at least say hi. *waves* (The whole video game discussion board thing is new to me).

I discovered the ME universe through a friend this past October. The games were collecting dust since February I believe. From the moment I started playing, I was hooked completely. More than anything though, I came to love the relationship between Shep and Kaidan. I hate to admit it but I've become addicted to ME both 1&2. lol Can't wait for ME3. Can't wait to see what happens with Kaidan.

Also, I noticed many of you talking about adding each other to play on the multiplayer. Can I join in on that? If so, how? I have no idea lol

Darksoulenigma? That's impressive Nice to see you.

About MP group: I think it's that group and Zombie (or ex-Zombie, Vault N7 now is responsible.

Thanks x2...for complimenting the name and pointing me in the right direction. I wouldn't have known where to begin...

And actually...*stares at the first page of "Mass Effect 3: Kaidanites MP Group"* -- I still don't.
The names I'm seeing are they the names I try to input to my xbox or do I have to message all these people?

...I dunno

Hi hi.  Once I figure out HOW to add everyone, I certainly will. lol

I noticed some comments about the male Shepard. I hope I don't offend anyone when I say, I've created and played through a male Shepard save (twice in fact) but, I find it difficult because of the voice.

The voice is....

Well, it leaves something to be desired.

I gather I might be alone in that opinion though.

We need more Kaidan...

[noxpanda]

Saddest origins scene for me is the warden's funeral. Id deliberately metagamed it several times, so ive got a happy cousland and a happy dwarven warden (with alistair still in tow). But then i got curious so i deliberatley left alistair at the gates and let my warden take the killing blow. The funeral is very sad, especially the look on alistair's face.

Erm i suppose i should be on topic..... erm...... quick someone post a pic!

Wait... it doesn't?  What are you talking about?

Things may have gotten a little off track in here (those gifs were hilarious), but about the endings: I just can't see how there won't be some kind of "happy" option.  BW, like Kaidan, always leaves a way out.  In DA:O you can be with Alistair, you just have to do the dark ritual (and man, they've left a lot of loose ends out there with that one - and the Architect, come to think of it). In DA:2 you can run off with Anders you just have to let him blow up the Chantry.  We might have to make a hard choice to keep Kaidan.  I will kill JVegas in a hot second if that's what it takes to get my happy ending.  Hell, I'd sacrifice Earth if I have to.  I'll feel bad about killing billions of people, and Anderson, but my Shepard will spend her twilight years with Kaidan Alenko.  I don't care what it costs.  So yeah, I'm prepared for some pretty emotional stuff.

Edit: Runs out to find a Kaidan.
