Even if Kaidan has moved on, my femsheps have a great, big achy heartbreak of their own to get over now. For some people that equates to rebound romance, but for my femsheps, it equates to lots of broody alone time.

heh...good think she has her mission to focus on then and no apparent chance of seeing Kaiden, at least for a good long while. My Sheps also went broody for a bit but after thinking things through they all think they'll be willing to talk to Kaiden and hopefully work things out after her return through the Omega 4 relay.

I didn't get the impression he'd really moved on.  He tried but hadn't really succeeded.  If he had, he wouldn't have told Shep in the email that the doctor "wasn't anything serious" or ended by saying something about if Shep survived maybe.... 

I didn't feel like he had moved on either...if he had...why bother in sending an email at all. Just let Horizon be the end of it and go on with you're new life.

I think he wants Shepard back and his email was his clumsy 'foot in mouth' way of trying to tell her he's still in love with her. May have even been afraid to just come out and say "I want you back" and "I still love you" because he was afraid of coming across as desperate...just like he didn't want to appear whiney to her in ME.

It was the shy clumsy Kaidan that we all fell in love with:wub:

I wonder how the cheating thing is going to work out...
One thing I don't think people get is that even though it's been two years for Liarashidan, it's been only two weeks or so for Shepard. By finding someone else that quickly, it's basically telling the original LI, "Hey, you never meant anything to me. I didn't want to work through our problems." And it tells the new LI, "Hey, so I think you're the new one now."

My latest fanfic deals with this very thing.

Consider Kaidin's romance content in ME1 as a baseline when thinking of getting "more" or "less" in ME3.

Wow, we gamers are love sick puppies.

ACK!  My itchy trigger finger has reposted again.  Stupid finger.

one of the Tali fans posted(somewhere) that they put Tali and Garrus in ME2 because they were more important to the overall story than the other 4 team mates from ME. They sound almost delusional at times. They forget that Tali and Garrus could die in ME2, meaning that the Devs see the two characters as expendable.

I don't think that is necessarily true.

Almost all the characters are expendible in that the story still makes sense without them; that doesn't mean that they aren't important, though.  In fact, one of the best ways to drive home the idea that your decisions in ME2 have weight is to make the deaths of certain characters very important.  Wrex, Tali, and Legion, for instance, all act as connections to their respective races, and getting them killed could have ramifications for your relationship with those races in ME3.

I personally think that almost all of the characters are going to be brought back with meaningful roles.

Don't forget the Shaman on Tuchanka sends you an email about how important Grunt is to the clan.

I don't think anyone is a "throw away" character.  To do that would be to cheapen the story.  It would be like when a red shirt died on Star Trek:TOS.  That didn't have any emotional impact.  The crew didn't stop to grieve for a few days.  They just shrugged their shoulders and moved on to the next world with a green alien for Kirk to bang.

Now on the other hand, the death of a major character, whether loved or hated, THAT has impact.  That has meaning.  It shakes the remaining characters to their core.  It distracts them, gnaws at them.  The missions may suffer for their loss.  It has ripple effects throughout the universe, great and small. 

The emphasis on the importance of every character is what, IMO, will make this franchise great in the end.  There are no, "nameless extras."  Think about it.  How many action movies do you watch where the protagonist strides forth against a backdrop of  "lesser" characters falling at the hands of the enemy, dying bravely but not being quite good enough, wothy enough to strike the final blow.  I bet if you were to look at that fictional  world from that minor character's perspective, THEY were the protagonist and this was THEIR story.  

And...I'm drunk and confused now....I'm sure I was going somewhere with this.

By the Devs own words they said they held back the ME1 LI's because they were needed for ME3 and they didn't want them to die. Meaning that whoever was a squad member in ME2 simply by the virtue that they could die wasn't needed for ME3. They were expendable.

I would love it if the characters like Wrex and Legion held a significance in ME3 but it didn't really hold much water for ME2. I played one where Wrex lived...one where he died. It didn't really interfere with the quests much on Tuchanka as far as I could tell...made them a little difference with different conversations and so forth but it wasn't like because Wrex died you couldn't do the quests or anything. So until we see how they play out ME3 we really can't say for sure what kind of impact those choices will make.

Yeah it was about a hedge fund called Cerberus. So THAT's how they paid for Shepard.

[fortunesque]

Lol yeah, someone posted that in a thread and didn't put link things around it, so I had to copy/paste it. Somehow it ended up in my post?

I temped at Cerberus Capital Management once here in NYC. It makes me giggle whenever I see their name.

[crimsonrhodelia]

Happy Valentine's Day to you fine ladies, gentlemen and of course to our favouritest ever sexy Lieutenant! Let's hope we've all got a lot of loving to look forward to in ME3.



(Almost at 125 pages!)

125 pages indeed

LOL, I had to send a package to their NY office recently and thought about how the ME Cerberus logo was so much better than their real life one.  They should totally rip it off.

And Michelle, your new story was intense.  I don't blame Kaidan, and I hope the ME1 LIs do act disgusted if Shepard moved on that fast.  It's nice to see characters acting realistically, and I don't see why they'd just be a doormat about this.

In the same vein, I'm kind of sick of those who act like they are looking forward to rubbing their new romance in the old LI's face.  Mostly I've heard people expressing that about Ashley in regards to Tali, and it sounds more like good old fashioned misogyny than anything else...but I don't know why I'd be surprised by that on this forum...

[syllogi]

SIGH. My son told me to change my profile pic to a girl. He wanted Tali, but we compromised on Liara. SIGH.

No. You are the mother. Lay down the law. >.>

Also, we need to get Lady Wynde in on this thread here
