The Krakken... Final Fantasy Addition :wizard:


That is the best track off of any of the Pirates of the Carribean sountracks.


Cloud, Kadaj, and Sephie are some of my absolute fave game characters. Cloud is #1, of course.

As for the actual topic...

I think it's important that you encounter Kai Leng multiple times, to build him up in the game as a credible threat. Most people haven't gotten into the Mass Effect "EU" so it would be like just throwing someone out there and saying "Ooooh! You should be afraid!" even though you don't know why you should be.

There can be ways to encounter him, without actually getting a fight. We can be put in situations where we're helpless to watch him kill others, or even an encounter (or situation) where he beats us. Maybe not in a stand up fight, nothing like scripting it so we can't win, but through guile, like a trap he sets for Shepard.

Having him kill known NPCs, like a former companion, or cause trouble for others in the game - like destroying a major location, without us actually encountering him personally in a situation where we can fight/stop him, would be another way for him to act and build up his threat level.

All of these allow us to have a "face" antagonist, like Saren of ME1, throughout the game, which is often nice. It also makes it a lot more rewarding when we actually fight/beat Kai Leng. It then MEANS something to us, within the game.

As for the possibility of him surviving ME3, I think that's a fine possibility. It's not that we're "unable" to kill him, as if he's too strong, but simply that we don't. Maybe we think we do, maybe we win the gunfight, but we're busy with other things, don't realize his heart's still beating, and he crawls away. Maybe we just never get the opportunity to finish him off. Etc.

Roger, Kai Leng should be hard, perhaps extremely difficult, but the man who's going to defeat the sentient speceships who have been repeating their cycle for untold mellinia should not ultimately "lose" to him. That would be a very cheap way for the game to say, "look, he's badazz, because we said so. Not cause he's good at fighting or anything, but because you aren't aloud to kill him. lulz"

If Kai Leng assassinated someone important, but then we had to go chase after him, while going through Cerberus Operatives to get to him, but no matter what he'll escape. You see him jump on, and his appearance becomes known, and as you play through the game you'll have to deal with him more and more, until finally you get a chance to actually kill him.

That's something I think could work.

I don't think that's even a possibility. Has Shepard ultimately lost to anyone? If there were any "losing", it would only be so Shepard to dish out some payback. That's how it always goes in Mass Effect. Shepard gets the last laugh, or punch, or shot, or explosion, or whatever.

A tough boss fight would be nice.

Though Commander Shepard > Kai Leng

Kai Leng was defeated by Anderson, and I think Shepard is a better soldier than Anderson was.

He needs to be established as a credible threat/antagonist to Shepard. If Shepard just tosses him around like he does everyone else then it's just one more ego-indulging power fantasy for the player, which really is quite disgusting in my opinion.


+ infinity ... and beyond! 

@marshalleck: Okay so i see that alot of people agree with what you wrote here :P For my part, I to agree in principle, but this is how I look at it.Kai Leng is irrelevent.What I do want to see though.Is BioWare not treat Shepard's ability to either Paragon or Renegade Interupt as if it is invincible.There needs to be moments during Mass Effect 3, where Shepard tries to pull that "Protagonist Card" and someone needs to counter it on par with the skills of my favorite character from Makunochi Ippo:

I've read too much of it as it is and it sucks, Fett included.


I won't disagree with you. The majority of EU writers wrote stories that were either too safe or just completely pointless. Dealing with the Imperial Remenants got really tired and don't even get me started on the NJO era (thankfully I never got that far)

I really wish a writer would have touched on the concept of the Grey side of the Force. Plus I wish that they made Leia a full flegged Jedi who rivaled Luke in Force potential. (which was kind of implied in ROTJ) 

Boba Fett in EU became a fanservice nightmare. I was neutral about him in the movies but when I read some EU stories I facepalmed. Fan stories and ideas about his role in the Prequels were even worse. I just don't want Kei Leng to be the Boba Fett (EU) of Mass Effect.

what about the regular boba fett. there to be a badass but gets eaten by a Sarlaac

I just want someone that can actually beat Shepard in a fight, he is surprised by Kai Leng or he/she falls into a trap and he/she is defeated in the fight, and Shep is rescued by his/her squad (they need to do something other than just stand in the corner of a cutscene). I mean if Shepard lost the fight, is not like he/she is an idiot who cannot win the war against the reapers, melee combat is not the same as shooting something. I think that if Shep does not win, we are making him/her more human, not some kind of super elite ultra human soldier who is beyond this realm and is capable of fighting against a Jedi too (and win).

Been reading ME:Retribution and Lang appears to be fiercely loyal to TIM and would do anything to further the Cerberus agenda. I won't hold my breath for this to happen, but it would be interesting to see if TIM would allow Lang to be indoctrinated (like Grayson and Saren) in order to make him much more powerful. TIM wouldn't do it unless he's found a way to use indoctrination to his advantage though. But if he has ...

So let me get this right:

You would be "happiest" if the Illusive Man and Kai Leng have "PLOT ARMOR" in Mass Effect 3!? :mellow:

Since Shepard has never been a Fallout-style 'can kill everyone you pass by' character, plot armor need not apply.

Karmic Houdinis have their place... and part of that is to underscore the lack of omnipotence of the player.

And prevent either one of them from being considered to be a credible foe.People already hate Cerberus for how they behave as though they can just "act with impunity" and you want to go and give them that very thing?! :pinched:

You needed an imagination two weeks ago if you think 'will not die' means 'act with impunity.'

if you can't defeat Kai Leng, how in the world can you beat the gigantic sentient spaceships? That's just silly.

Because the context you try to be Kai Leng in would be different from the context you beat the gigantic sentient spaceships in.

Unless you think Shepard shooting an assault rifle at the Reapers isn't silly, and that's how it's going to roll?

But how was he a badass when a blind Han Solo got lucky and sent him into Sarlaac's mouth?

Why is it so essential to so that this (Kei Leng)HAS to the way to show us that Shepard isn't overpowered? Why does Kei Leng have to elevated to be more a credible threat than he needs to be? Why is it that somehow if Shepard can reasonably beat someone then he is some sort of omnipotent god? I fail to see the logic here. Shepard has far more daunting tasks that will quite likely prove to be impossible for him/her to win. Elevating Kei Leng to some sort unmovable object for Shepard is kind of pointless.

Is not essential, it can be anybody, but so far nobody seems capable of punching the great Commander Shepard... Nobody is elevating Kai Leng to inmortality here, we want an enemy, made of flesh and blood (or not) that can beat Shepard`s ass in melee combat.
