I'm beginning to think i'm the only one that didn't hate how things went down on Horizon, hell my Shep agreed with him. I felt his reaction was justified in all honesty. I also love companions that are enough of their own person that they don't blindy follow the protaganist when it goes against their own beliefs and principles. All throughout ME2 my Shep felt manipulated and trapped by Cerberus, she never truly bonded with any of the Cerberus crew, and iff there had been any alternative you can bet your boots she would have grabbed it in a second. Buut, I know this is a contentious issue and one i'm fairly on my own with. I do feel that many players would have responded differently though iff the letter had been an audio log like Raphael had recorded, so much so that I would definately recommend to a new player to play that once they receive his letter, instead of just reading it. Raphael done a fantastic job with it, and really brought home the feels . Such a shame it wasn't done like that originally.

You're not alone! I myself love the drama of Horizon. My Shepard was totally heartbroken, but Kaidan's reaction was pretty understandable. He had spent all that time grieving for her, had finally been moving on, and then BOOM, she shows up out of the blue and working for the enemy? Imagine what a shock that must be for the poor guy. I'd probably react badly too, tbh. And poor Shep. She basically woke up one day and found that the guy she was madly in love with suddenly loathed her. Ugh, so many feels. I love it.

OT but.. how old are you guys? Just out of curiosity, I'd be interested to know.

I should probably clarify that those were essentially feelings I had during my first pt 

I guess hate might be too strong of a word to describe the situation on Horizon, but I definitely hated feeling railroaded into romancing other characters. I did not blame Kaidan for doubting and feeling betrayed, hell, my Shep was a sole survivor and absolutely abhorred working with Cerberus. I just did not like the dynamics of the conversation, especially Shep's opening lines (this is when I facepalmed). Now I know where the devs were coming from and, since I know that ME3 brings Kaidan back, I enjoy this bit of drama in their relationship, but back then I was horrified that he just left me (i.e. was moved to the side by the devs and "promoted" to the "important" npc - not so unlikely since then he was not a popular romance choice and look what has happened to Jacob in ME3). Maybe that fear has affected my memories but I definitely did not have fun on Horizon.

 

I thought I would also add that I am not bashing Kaidan, he is one of my favourite characters overall and definitely a favourite romance in ME universe. I hear you about the Cerberus crew as well, in my first pt I did not speak to Miranda and Jacob at all, unless I was forced to...and for a long time I refused to get a paramour achievement in ME2 (I only got it last year)

No, you are not alone.  Under the circumstance, Kaidan's anger and confusion seem like a totally realistic response.  It emphasizes that he is a person with doubts, fears, and a very human ability to feel and express his anger, which I liked, actually.  Yes, it hurt, watching Shepard flail about in the face of his disappointment, but at the same time, it did make me think a little harder about how cooperative I had Shep be with Cerberus for the rest of the game.  And it made ME3 all the sweeter, too.

Ugh, I know that not only are most people in Edmonton still trying to grasp the concept of consciousness and that today is not a Follower Friday, but I can't stop myself from checking compulsively anyway.

[R2s Muse]

Thanks! No, she's never done Cullen, but she did do this line sketch of Alistair and my character, Neala:

OMG, Bev, she's SO good!!

Is it next Friday they announce the next Follower Week? (Yes, I know it's Follower Friday, but we get stuff all week, they only chose that name because it's alliterative and people proper bum over that for some reason)

[R2s Muse]

Hey guys, how did we come up with Cullen being born in 9:05? Was it from the toolset in DAO? Someone's asking in the main forum.

That would just be a guess. The toolset puts his age at 24 in  9:30. So best guess is actually that he's born in 9:06. 

 

(edit: Altho I see you found your answer elsewhere  )

And since I'm all about original sources, Cullen's CHR file from DA:O.

Oh, that's great. I've never seen this piece of info. I like the Innocent but hardened by circumstances bit a lot.

ooo, I didn't know files like this existed! Very nice; I too love the "Innocent that's been hardened by circumstance" line, so appropriate. Was something like this ever dug up from DA2 data-mining?


RE: Age -- I'm 32, 33 in August --- and I love it! My life was rather a shambles in my early 20s -- I've come a long way and love where I am and where I'm going. Life gets better as you age and grow as a person... or so I feel, at least!!

Coming out of lurk mode for a minute to ask.... anyone have any good Cullen fanfic? I read a few a couple years back that I really enjoyed and would love to read more....

Also, I'm really hoping they do some kind of announcement at pax east, but if we have to wait for e3, well, I have high hopes for that

[Damate]

Random: My brother is at PAX right now. Soooooo jealous! He lives on Nantucket and goes to Boston a lot, so he gets to go every damned year. I've begged him to visit the Bioware base to seek out info, autographs and plushies, not necessarily in that order But he said something about being in some kind of game tournament this year? Pfft. So I begged more... and pouted... which USUALLY still works even at this age Little sister power for the win!
(he is, admittedly, just about the most awesome big brother anyone could ask for and I, admittedly, still his little brat, lol)

There's also some great Cullen fic on the 4000th page. A celebration of Cullen! Could also search term him on ArchiveofOurOwn.org Few slow burners on there, some pure smut, and some stories in general.

I thought the name was familiar! Lol was trying to figure out where I had seen it before.
Thanks

[Potato Cat]

Happy Birthday you terrifying bunny thing!

I'm 18, with absolutely no idea of how tall I am or even a concept of feet. I know 6' is tall and that's about it to be honest! I think I'm about average height though.

GE in the recording studio again!!

 

EDIT: I think?
