Agreed. Even if it's just quicktime events I would much rather have a physical confrontation instead of just shooting EVERYTHING.GMagnum wrote...

Kai Leng *is* a joke. The fact that the writers have to rely on a badly written character, from a bunch of poorly written books to fill the void in ME3 is hilarious.
Saren will always be the best villain, because he was an original character. Created in the mind and brought to life by an awesome writer I can only assume. He bossed it up and was believable.
Realism is the problem I have with Kai Leng. He is so over-the-top it's stupid. I'm also upset because the game is going to auto-matically assume we've read those dreadful *novels* to understand why we're supposed to be scared of this guy.
Of course, all will be forgiven if I can just draw my pistol right after he says some presumably lame introduction speech, which will of course include some swearing to show how *cool* he is, and just shoot him straight in the face and kill him outright. Like in Indiana Jones. I would forgive Bioware for including lame characters from their side-line book series.
Having read the script though, this will not be the case.

why is all cyborg'ed up? In the book he was most badass because he was just a regular guy with no amazing abilities, just pure determination, ruthlessness, and skill.
He was pretty scary actually now that I recall, because he never gave his victims a chance.
But in the game I guess it would have to be a straight up fight so he needs to be given a power boost to compensate.

How is Kai Leng over the top? He's not any more impressive than a lot of other characters (i.e. Wrex, Thane, Aria, Zaeed, Shepard, etc...)
The rest of your hate for Kai Leng is based off assumption you made about his role in the third game. Which seems rather silly. However I haven't read the script, so maybe you already have evidence supporting your assumptions.

You know, you're absolutely right. Most of my anger is based off assumption. Kai Leng's first appearance however WILL ****** off pretty much everyone, especially those who dislike the novels like myself, if it hasn't been changed since the script was written. I guess I'm just upset that they are forcing the expanded universe (novels, comics, etc.) into the games, where i truly believe they DO NOT belong.
The expanded universe, despite being poorly written, also follows only one canon storyline, and the whole point of the Mass Effect series is that *your* desicions matter, and change and shape the galaxy. The EU basically ignores anything you have done in the games, and now that they are trying to force Kai Leng (and Kahlee Sanders to a lesser extent) into them... urgh it's just such a poor implimentation, because now we are expected to read the novels (which i've begrudgingly done) to understand really important parts of the game.
TL;DR version: The expanded universe should be seperate from the games because then we aren't forced to read crap to understand important plot points. Unimportant side-characters can pop up sure, but not such important plotlines.

I don't exactly agree with your rant about the books, but yes you should get a "Bold Action" / Renegade interrupt when you first meet him and shoot him with your sidearm like Indy did to the Cairo Swordsman.matt-bassist wrote...

Did anyone else not really care for Saren? I feel nothing for him...I don't think he is a super great villain, nor do I think he's terrible. He's just...kind of there. :/
I do hope they have a "main" villain that is present. Hopefully this guy will be it.

Kai Leng needs to be an opponent that Shepard can't simply shoot with a bullet or use biotic/tech abilitie's, Kai Leng needs to make Shepard think fast when fighting him, put Shepard out of his/her comfort zone, toy with Shepard and make Shepard use every second fighting him could be the differnce between life or death

I hope so. Fighting Kai Leng should be as difficult as fighting Saren on Insane with just a Kessler MK I pistol.

Should be great. Some of the script does make him out to be the best henchman in the series but we'll see who is voicing him and whatnot.

I agree.
Oh, he's taunting you. He's taunting you like hell. But unlike Harbinger, he can actually back it up.

Harby is kinda destroying Earth and making it his laboratory while sending his fellow Reapers to destroy rest of galaxy.
He's backing it up pretty much.
