I once bought an Ex-boyfriend of mine a pair of white silk boxers with little red hearts all over them..

I just had a lovely mental image of Kaidan wearing something similar for the Holiday


Of course if I had my preference, the only thing he'd be wearing for Valentine's Eve' would be a smile...

I was surprised when I foudn out that there was a lack of support for Kaidan. Other than Wrex and Tali he was next best character from ME1. In my canon game my femshep has stayed loyal. Can't say anybody else seemed interesting. Well maybe Thane but that's just b/c I felt bad for him and that his wife died. No real attraction. Kaidan definitely is the man and needs to return in ME3 as a squad member.

Ok, so I have to ask. I found myself finishing my preparations for Valentines night and found myself thinking, "So I wonder if Shepard has powered sugar, butter, chocolate and other such stuff available for romantic evenings with Kaiden?" I then face palmed and decided to come here and laugh at myself, and hopefully get some support (or at least provide some amusement to others).

*snickers*  Trying to picture Shepard in a kitchen. 

Shep:  I couldnt' get the chocolate to melt properly until I used the Collector Particle Beam on the bowl.  Unfortunately, the chocolate and plaztex bowl are now fused.  Still, it looks like white and dark chocolate candy!

sberna78  I felt similar...that neither of them had moved on. I also felt that they were meant to be together and that eventually everything will work out. 

 I think if a person keeps in mind Kaidan's character from ME1 it's pretty clear in the email he's still interested in Shep. I kinda wonder for some people if it had indeed been two years since they played ME and when they imported their save it had been so long since ME that they had forgotten what his character was really like. So they read the email and don't really see how much Kaidan is really longing for Shep so they feel dumped. 

To me that email said volumes. When he said 'nothing serious' about the doctor, I think he was not only saying "I haven't slept with her" but that he was also saying "she's history" because he is willing to walk away from the doc if Shep wants him back(because it's nothing serious). In fact I don't see Kaidan as the kind of guy that would string a girl along if he was in love with someone else so I'd bet he already broke it off with her once he saw Shep.

 I also think that the line where he says that a lot of things have changed in the last two years and he can't just put that aside was referring more to her working for Cerberus more than it was anything going on in his personal life. He was just saying again why he couldn't be with her at the moment. I'm just rambling...need to go to bed...falling asleep.

But you're in good company here!

[JadeGL]

Just adding my support to the Kaidan thread.

My story is pretty much the same as everyone else here. My Shep stayed loyal to Kaidan, so I am definitely hoping that the ME3 romance scenarios will reward us that stayed true. I may try a romance with a non-canon version of my Shep, just for the achievement points, but it will be weird. None of the LIs in ME2 are that interesting. I posted in another thread that Thane was too obsessed with his dead wife, Garrus I see as almost a brother-type, and Jacob was snore-inducing.

Can't wait to see what happens in ME3. I am keeping the hope alive.

yeah they don't grow out of it either.  my husband just did the same thing as Badpie's.

why won't miranda sleep with me.
just like real life, you have to talk to the woman.
but it's a video game.
it's an epic story not a sex simulator
*points to controller* but it vibrates....

*shakes head*

he also saved right before their last conversation, so that he could sleep with Miranda, GO BACK, and then still get Ash in ME3.  This should probably worry me...

[fortunesque]

Lol. My brother was the same way about Miranda.

Then I told him that her ass looks just like his creepy, clingy ex's ass, and I may have ruined it for him...

On a separate note!!!



I found a brand new Collector's edition of ME2 on Amazon for 49.98. Score!

Good point...if he had moved on so to speak and was really interested in pursuing something with that doctor or if they'd been intimate, he wouldn't  have added the "its nothing serious"...I interpreted his even mentioning that date as an example of him explaining that he had tried to sort of put himself out "there" again at the behest of his friends who had probably been tired of seeing him mope around for 2 years...and then adding that it was nothing serious because honestly, nothing came of it and talking about it was sorta his way of letting Shep know that he was unattached and still "available"..

Kaidan is an honest guy...he's certainly not the type IMO that would date someone else and then not ever mention it once he realizes that Shep is really back.....and it could be that a large part of him felt guilty for letting himself get talked in to that date in the first place...he strikes me as the type that would stew a bit and likely feel like he was betraying Shep even though at the time, she was "dead"...it seemed like it took him quite a few years to get over the Rahna thing, and I'm totally convinced that it would have taken a lot longer than 2 years to really get over Shep...I mean come on, it's Shep...the ultimate badass/wonderwoman/heroicbeauty/intergalactic sex goddess...a woman like that would certainly be hard to forget.......

 I also think that the line where he says that a lot of things have changed in the last two years and he can't just put that aside was referring more to her working for Cerberus more than it was anything going on in his personal life.

Again, another good point....and I'm an expert at rambling

I'm so glad to have an epic thread like this one where we can all ramble and discuss our Kaidan theories and express much Kaidan love <3<3

Hope you sleep well, good night

I think I've gotten too invested in Chuck, because every time I look at Miranda in game I think about how she needs to get away from Mediocre Superman and Chuck needs to dump Stupid Lana Lang so they can get together for real finally.

To me Kaidan's email was so perfect in character. Again he leaves a way out for both him and Shepard and at the same time leaves a way in as well. The comment on the doc date proves that, it's his way of saying "I never got over you, there's no one else.". There is no way that Kaidan, once he settles down to think about what happened at Horizon, won't realise it's not been two years for Shepard. It's all confusing and painful, little makes sense and I'm sure he'll want answers in ME3.



Again, I'm sure he'll get the newsfeeds, the reports etc about her heroics. Everything will point to Shepard picking things up where she left them. She IS still the women he loved so dearly and thought lost, but I don't think he can dismiss the Cerberus factor very easily. Not until they get some alone time and Shepard can talk about her feelings and the events that followed her being 'rebuilt'.



I think your last save of ME2 will be all important to how things work out between Shepard and Kaidan. The romance will only be active IF you didn't cheat, meaning his picture HAS to be upright at the end. I also believe that if you didn't destroy the Collector base, it will influence what happens as well. Because it basically gives the reigns to the verse to Cerberus.



The romance dialogues in ME2 are so clearly obviously flagged, that you know when it's getting dangerous. All LI's have this one dialogue that activates their romance and shuts down any other, including Kaidan's. It's even so obvious that it's laughable, imo, you hit the "I want you" option on the dialogue wheel and WHOOSH everything else shuts down.



What does strike me as odd is how easy it is to complete a romance and then shut it down at the end or in a newgame+. I wonder how that will work out. Get a taste of some forbidden fruit, shut it down once you had it and you're home free? I sure hope not. Which could possibly be what Bioware's statement about "monitoring dialogues" is about as well.



Oh well, goodmorning all

Monitoring dialogues? I heard something about them following the paramour achievement, but nothing about dialogues... not that I'm worried or anything... I turned everyone down as flatly and coldly as I could... but I when I heard they were trying to see "who cheated" I was curious as to how they would do it. Was something posted/released that explained it?

[Randy1012]

Howdy guys. I'd just like to say that even though I chose Ashley over Kaidan in three of my four ME1 playthroughs, it was never because of anything against Kaidan. I liked him quite a bit, and I think he gets a raw deal partly because he shares the same voice as Carth Onasi from Knights of the Old Republic. I wish I hadn't had to choose to leave him behind on Virmire; I got the feeling that he and Shepard had served together for a long time, and it would have been nice to see that friendship continue beyond the first game.

[KealaFerret]

If it helps, my husband's went more like this. "My bonus codes won't work!" :: swear words :: "Damnit, what the hell, can't connect to server... code invalid? What the hell? That's it, I don't even want to PLAY this stupid game!"

Me: "Ok, uh, why don't you play without the content for now, and I'll go pretend to be you on the EA site and get fixed. Ok?"

Hubby: "Grumble. Ok."

2 hours later, he's happily playing, forgot all about the support ticket, and today EA fixed him up great.

Then again, I had to give him advice on getting chicks in the sack on DA:O.

To at least pretend I'm on topic: someone mentioned the fact that for Kaidan it's been 2 years. For Shepard, it's been a lot less because she's been, well, dead. That's a lot of how I've looked at it, that she'd have to be pretty heartless to get over it that quickly (or she's not getting over it, and just going after another relationship to drown the pain).

My take on it was that, knowing that any of them could die, getting that close to someone might seem like too much. Shepard knows that the previous mission wasn't considered a suicide mission, and they still lost Ashley. Shepard probably can't help but think "what if that had been Kaidan?" She very well decide to focus on the mission (well, my paragon Shepard looked at it that way; she wanted to earn the crew's loyalty because she didn't trust them being loyal to anyone ELSE, but she wasn't going to cross that line when everything was on the line, and didn't want to have a tie like that, that could cause her to have to choose when there was no room to choose, there is only the mission).

That's pretty much the same thing my husband did; he hates Virmire because he doesn't like losing either one. I feel the same way about Ashley; I hate letting her die. Hate it! But I usually romance Kaidan, and letting your love interest die doesn't result in a bunch of angsty goodness, kinda just like "meh, ok, well losing that person sucked, let's beat on Saren guys". If it had some plotty resolution to letting the love interest die, I'd consider it (once). But no.

Not that I object to boinking Liara, but she always came on a little too strong for me.

When did men get so bad at video games?

When they had to do ANYTHING other than pull a trigger and hit reload.

Haha! This!

My dad expects me to be the walking RPG game guide, I regularly get phone calls at night,

'So which planet do I go to first?  What do you mean it doesn't matter?  Well which is easiest?'

Not my other-half though, he won't play anything he that requires a 'conversation', CoD and Fifa all the way! My brother too, I remember having a convo with him when ME first came out he saw me playing it and was like,

'You have to talk to them?  Why can't you just shoot them?  What's with the pausing during a fight?  That's not very realistic

Doubt they will monitor every little thing you chose, but like I said there are some 'in your face' dialogue options where LI's are concerned. Not sure where it was posted, I read soooo many interviews, dev posts, articles etc pre-release it's mind boggling The paramour achievement means nothing, doubt they'll even watch it since it's not limited to 1 Shepard but rather your gaming tag. Even if you never cheated on Kaidan but imported a single Shepard to romance one of the ME2 LI's, you'll get that achievement...no way Bioware can do something valid with that information.
It's all in the save game data flags.

Greetings, Alenko supporters!

I wanted to throw in my support to see Kaidan again in ME3 as a squad mate/LI and as an oh-so-important character that Bioware promises of it's ME1 love interests. I was severely disappointed that you only speak with him once in ME2 and wished Bioware had stuck him somewhere on the Citadel or something to talk to every once in a while.

I actually don't care for him at all, but I admire those that can do what I cannot. On a somewhat related note, I cannot wait to break his heart in ME3.

In all seriousness, though, I thought he was an interesting character and I would hate to see him get sidelined. Also, I will admit to absolutely loving the dialogue you can get out of him in the climactic romance scene of ME1.

Ok...well...going now. Good luck and all that jazz.
