What's so "whiny" on Kaidan?
Every conversation with him is a "woe is me" conversation, mainly about his troubled past and he might be the result of an experiment. Elevator conversations about his headaches, whining about Rhana and Brain Camp.
His dinner date with Shepard if you've not locked in another LI by that point is a case in point. Ash has a quad, Kaidan's a boy with an empty marble pouch.
It doesn't help Kaidan that he sounds exactly like Carth Onasi(same VA after all), who is the BIGGEST whiner in videogame history.
Aww man, keep it civil, huh? No Kaidan bashing here, even if this topic is about the other VS. You know, Ash-fans and Kaidan-fans are pretty much united - and I definitely want to keep it this way.
No Kaidan-bashing here. Thanks.

I was actually surprised to see how differently Kaidan and Ashley were handled in ME3. They have different lines, cutscenes, cutscene timing, dialogue, personalities, aside from sharing the Coup plotline they ARE essentially different characters.
Definitely. Actually, BW showed some great skill here: how to use two different characters in the same role without making them feeling the same?
It's an achievement, and a good one.
However, the result is less that satisfying.
That being said, if Ashley really was handled as OOC in ME3 as people say she was, I'm almost a little glad that she's not alive in my games. She felt like a BFF in ME1, and I liked it that way. It's unfortunate that she doesn't have a well fleshed out friendship path, supposedly...
She doesn't feel like a BFF in ME3. Not for m!Shep and not for f!Shep. As soon as she's back on the Normandy, Ash goes into silent mode and never interacts with anyone on the ship, not even Shepard. She doesn't come to your cabin (like Allers, Traynor, Vega, Liara) if not romanced, doesn't comfort you after Thessia - and so on,
In short: Ashley doesn't feel like Ashley outside her romance: she's not a friend anymore. And that's something I really hate since I always imagined Ash as comrade, friend AND lover.
And I don't recall a single conversation where Kaidan whined. At all. Every single conversation and piece of dialogue is initiated by another character, and he'll never even mention his headaches unless someone else brings up the subject first.
Dito. He just expressed his feelings a bit more than the usual guy. Maybe that's why a lot of ppl demanded Kaidan as a bi LI - he felt a bit like that in ME1. Never saw this as something negative - his character was a bit more formal than Ash in the first game, but definitely worth to have around.
