People don't *appear* to hate Kaidan as much over here on the ME boards, but the ones who do hate him, hate him a whole lot, and for not a lot of reason. In a game where there are characters like Jacob's father, who committed atrocities, deciding to hate Kaidan the most says a lot about the hater, IMO.

This is not entirely true, Alistair was completely awesome.
I wholeheartedly agree, Alistair was awesome but he got a lot of hate, particularly I would say almost entirely from men.
Even the Bioware QA guys ragged on Alistair. They said he wasn't as bad as Carth because at least he was funny.

I'm working on a roughly 8min long videoclip of all the meaningful Kaiden + shep parts in ME1, with M4 part II by the faunts (ME1 end credits song) as score.
Will take me a couple of days to shoot + edit, but after that I will upload to Youtube and link here
Just so you know.

When it comes to the Kaidan hate thing, I firmly believe that most of that comes from well...insecurity and conflicting messages about gender roles. They see a guy in a game who is not burping the start spangled banner, hitting everyone over the head with his giantic (usually overcompensating for something here) weapon, scratching himself and hitting on everything with a pair of boobs and a pulse and for them that just automatically equates to boring and wuss-like.
And let's face it Kaidan is a man who exhibits both shyness/nervousness/emotion around the woman he's attracted to and for those who fancy themselves suave cassanova ladies man types (whether they actually are or not is debatable), that just equals weakness right there.
I think you pretty much summed it up beautifully.

Bioware's Jade Empire had a happy ending, so maybe there is some hope.
Also, three cheers for reaching 100 pages
Right! I wanted to comment on that too, I really don't think they will have an unhappy ending with ME3 at all. This is more of a feel good sci-fi not matter how dark and M rated as it can be. Consider the ending to ME1, ultimate fuzzy and cheesy hero ending, I'm expecting something just as epic and grand and yeah happy.
Maybe if you got Kaidan back, you'll stare off into the stars with him at your side.
I really loved the feel of the first game. Epic and heroic. I smiled when the human crew were as excited as kids on Christmas to see the CItade for the first time. I got chills the first time I shot through the elevator on the citadel and stepped outside. I was so emotionally invested in my character I was about to throw the controller at the screen when it looked like I had been crushed by Soverein-Nazara. And of course I was immediately relieved when I saw my Shep navigating the wreckage in the back. I fell in love with Kaidan slowly, over time, and at the perfect pace. The night before Ilos made my heart warm when Kaidan told me that I "made him feel human."
Not that I don't like the second game, but I hope they leave the darker feel behind to go back to the origional atmosphere. I loved it. Made me feel like a kid going to the science museum for the firs time again. (Yeah, I was a nerd growing up. Nothing has changed.)
I don't know. There's just enough dark, evil things in the world without adding anymore. That's why I'm not a fan of thrillers/horror. Not saying that's what ME2 was like. There's just..too much crap out there already, ya know? When I get lost in a fantasy world, I wan the good guy to win, get the love interest, and ride off into the sunset, because it happens to rarely in real life.

Gigantic rant. Skip if you are not inclined to read rants:
Honestly, I see a lot of animosity from the Talimob toward Kaidan.
But why Kaidan he's a femShep LI ??
maybe they feel threaten??
It's a guy thing. They're less likely to like another guy, especially a male lead that doesn't go around yelling, "I AM MAN!"
Hehe..enough of this riled up talk everyone. Besides, everytime suggests we go post nekkid Kaidan pics in the tali thread or at the polls, i feel like I just got dared to run around the neighboorhood in my pjs at a sleep over and darn it we know my self control isn't that good.

Yeah, posting the naked Kaidan pic in the Tali thread would get a bunch of them trolling ours in retaliation. There'd be so many of them that it'd ruin our whole thread.
Don't mind me guys... I just have a headache. That's probably where my cynicism is coming from.

Yeah, I felt the same way...ME kept me on the edge of my seat...you don't get to be the hero in real life like that. ME2 just felt depressing...Femshep died, Cerberus manipulated her, Kaidan wouldn't come with her, etc. I can get death,manipulation, and rejection in the world...why do I want it in a game. Don't get me wrong, I like the game...just not as much as I did the first one. Even with the improved gameplay it fell short of the first one in my opinion.

lol Emo chick reporting! Those are the reasons why I prefer ME2, it's much more emotional and frustrating. Now my Shep is fed up and ready then ever to kick Reaper butt and anybody else who even dares to say: "Reapers shmeapers, you've dreamt them Shepard!"
Don't even.....!!

Wow i disapear to work today and come back and where now over 100 pages!It was only 87 it think when i was on last. Too much to ketch up on...... Kaidan Rocks!
How the frak did you ladies come up with 100 pages worth of Kaiden gossip? What is there to talk about? You shagged him in ME1, you didn't shag him in ME2, and you want to shag him again in ME3. How do you make those three facts take up 100 pages???
BTW, I lovingly refer to my canon paragon Shep as "Cade Shepard: Space Pimp." He got with Liara in ME1, then Kelly in ME2, followed by Miranda, followed by Tali. Jack doesn't do much for him. So there's my story. And it didn't take 100 pages.
