There's no reason to like Deception. It's a piece of crap.... sorry to say that, but it clearly is. When it first came out it was flawed with lore mistakes and even with correct it it is the weakest part of all ME novels. Well, it wasn't written by Drew so no wonder. Also it has forshadowed me the fall of ME3.... but there's an whole other story and it has nothing to do with this topic so I'm out :)


Kai Leng is such a cereal killer. :P

Retribution Kai Leng was considered the Anti-Shepard and they should have used him instead of Deception Leng for ME3

Never read deception I don't like ninja boy because he's ninja boy his personality, mannerisms, kung fu knockoffs, and swordplay all factor him into near smack talk Harbi type of annoyance.

It's sad

No one will bother to Remember the Ascension or Retribution, Paul Grayson's arc cause All everybody talks about is Deception.

Yes there is plenty to talk about what is wrong with Deception, Leng, Anderson and Kahlee being wildly out of Character.

Hendel likes women now

Gillian has gone from 12 to 18 in three years.

Leng's no longer intelligent he's just a stock of action movie cliche's.

OP, I only heard that it is a book where he appears and I still think he's a badly written character and he's completely out of place. So no, the book is not a reason.

He was still bad in Retribution tho. Dietz made him comedic, and ME3 didn't do much better, but he just wasn't a very good character to begin with.

Kai Leng is the reason that no one likes Kai Leng. Most people don't even know that the Deception book exists.
Many stories have such type of dudes. He just is one of those characters that you wanna stab them between the lungs. The satisfaction is so great when it finally happens :D

Same, I had never heard of the cliche leather clad space ninja before and to me the badly done plot armor and obvious TV Trope was just adding insult to injury since Kai Lame killed my LI. 

I had heard that his character was done well in the games but apparently that is not the case ?

In any case, best criticism of Kai Lame below

Most of the people which I could see were complaining about Kai´Leng plot armor on Citadel in scene with councilor or also on Thessia. I do agree with those but also I have to say that these scenes could be easily  avoided by putting more effort in that whole thing, then just by not making a magic ninja which is so slow and weak that is almost killed by half-dead drell. 

BioWare you were supposed to present an evolved advanced human - human implanted with high advanced tech if not Reaper tech judging to Cerberus backstory in ME3, have you forget about Collectors in ME2 or Saren in the end of ME1 ? About those we could say that they really were the though guys, but Kai´Leng ? 


Which was really annoying about Kai´Leng was sky car scene and this was typical example of -obvious plot armor is obvious-. Why Shepard didn´t tried to turn around up side down the car or why Shepard haven´t tried to paint on walls with Kai´Lengs livers or how about pull the break ? I found at least 3 ways to kill a Kai´Leng without opening the sky car and trying to shoot him down... while his biotic shield ability managed to reflect a bullets, I highly doubt that the same shield could refelct the wall or fall from 1-2 hundreed meters.


It´s just funny how contrived whole thing was, also why Kai´Leng had to use an elevator to get to council when he could use the same sky car which he used to escape after the sabotaging Shepard´s car ? <.<


P.S: Remember, make dance not warcraft...

How?

Rumor says that the rewrite of Deception is complete, but the publisher wont print it until all the remaining copies they have of the original have been sold.

PS. I never read Deception and still think Kai Leng is retarded.



So basically Never

He was already a terrible character in Retribution (basically a Villian sue). I just can't suspend my disbelief for him. He's one of these "super melee characters" who makes everyone an graduate of the Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy when he appears.


You pretty much killed your arguement the moment you did the Throw sue out as an insult and then not explain it.

Seeing that Kai pretty much ambushes most of his opponents in Retribution them not getting a shot off is justified or are you one of those people that read a summary of the book and not actaully read the book so you'd have context of the scene?

To be a Villian Sue you have to be illogically succeed alot with few set backs. Anderson gets the better of Kai to many times for him to qualify for Villian Suedom and of course the whole blown kneecaps thing, getting his ass kicked by Reaper Grayson only to be saved by Anderson. Hell He wouldn't have got the drop on the Turians without TIM's help.

 It's not because he's supposed to be this super-badass. My Shepard doesn't give a fk, because SHE is the super-badass.

It's not because he uses cut-scenes to defeat us (although that doesn't help his case).

It's because he ate the cereal. Dig deep, you all know it!


Actually that's the only reason I don't like him. Bioware (and everyone really) should stay away from that formula on their future games, no one likes that, there are thousands of ways you can make a villain kick the hero's ass without making Shep look brain dead for minutes.
That final cutscene when we kill him should last a bit longer, like the Batarian on BDtS, allow us to make him suffer. Or maybe it's just fine, this way he will never return on a future game.

It's satisfying when it's a good bad guy, the type you hate because you hate him in-universe - i.e. a well-written character. WIth a badly-written one the best you can manage is "thank god I won't have to put up with him any more."

I must have missed the memo about Kai Leng being bad

Personally I found him fulfilling the role of TIM's dragon perfectly

I never bothered with the tie-ins. I thought Kai Leng was bad because he has no personality, he's a ninja cliche and all of his victories require Shepard and his/her squadmates to act like incompetent idiots.
