Hi Jeweledleah.
Thanks for the info. Ultimately Bioware didn't have to add Kaidan as a gay love interest at all, as you say, it was a very small group who would be affected by this so no real pressure existed. I can't comment on the Ashley side of thing, but I don't really care if it was a cut-down version of the femshep romance, it was there and deeply affected me as a player on a personal level. I will always respect Bioware for adding this no matter what; because it affected a minority and because of the respectful way they treated the subject.
I don't want to get involved in the endings debate (beyond trying to get an ending that I should already be able to get - Shepard Lives) as many other posters are doing a great job of vocalising things; I was just wanting to answer the original question from 600-odd pages back.
Eryri - thanks for your posting, sounds like a well deserved ending to me, though I imagine a scene where they are walking along a beach and Shepard stops to pick up a shell, keeping it in memory or Morden.
I will not go into detail on how I feel about that character change (but I do NOT share your feelings, to say the least)
I brought it up becasue we have similar situations here where a group of fans is asking for something of bioware. and in one case - they give one group of fans, much MUCH smaller group, what they want, while in the other case - more options for the endings, something that's being requested by a MUCH MUCH larger group of fans - they refuse to budge.
they give people Garrus and Tali to romance. they permeate the game with so much fan service, you can play a drinking game with all the references and nods. they make changes that are direct result of fan requests. many of those changes were done - in later stages of production (for example - Ashley's armor). but they don't budge here.
and I have a strong suspicion that its not becasue its a teams artistic integrity. its because its Mac Walter's and Casey Hudson's pride.
Hi Jeweledleah
I sense a deep rooted anger in your replies and also that this could easily degenerate - you've already hijacked my original post (what did you enjoy?) to link it to your strong feelings about the ending, completely irrelevant to what I was saying, in my humble opinion. I think there is a Reaper-filled galaxy of a difference between the implementation of a gay Kaidan and changing the endings, but I accept you'll disagree with that no matter what I say, as is your entitlement.
You don't like Kaidan being gay? Don't play that option. He is still available to female Shepards so I don't see what the problem is? Well, I can hazard a guess, but I'm certainly not touching that with a 10 foot pole!
I never actually asked you about your feelings on the matter at any rate; to be frank, I don't really want to know - I wasn't asking for approval of my views, or orientation, just answering the original post. Yup, sure, making a post will open it up to being answered pro and con, but I wanted to make a positive contribution to the forums, not be swept along in the wave of negative feedback about one aspect of the game.
For me, when playing a game, reading a book, watching a tv series, ultimately the journey is far more important than the destination, which in ME3 is probably just as well. I'm still deeply passionate about the journey if not the destination, and I will take away golden memories of strong, vivid "living" characters, fantastic, witty, poignant dialogue voiced with care and soul, and amazing, subtle animation.
Take from it what you will, that's your choice.
That's the last word I'll utter on this.
