Thank you for the thread Cypher! Kaidan is definitely my favorite Li out of all of them in the ME universe. Mass Effect was the second Bioware game I ever played, and I didn't realize at the time that Bw games al had romantic subplots, so you can imagine my surprise when flirty dialogue appeared
As far as Horizon goes, the scene fits perfectly with his character, is confusion and his feeling betrayed. As much as we would love to return to an Alenko just ready to jump back into Shepard's arms, that's very unrealistic. Instead, Bioware promotes him, even gives him an attempt at a dating life w/o Shep (and he couldn't even do it! awww).
I'm hoping the scene on Horizon and the e-mail following l will lay groundwork for a kick a ss reunion in ME3, and I hope he's a squadmate. Miranda's sentinel action just doesn't cut it.
So, here's to hoping he''ll be my main Shep's righthand man in ME3.
I play many Shepards, because I like to play this game in as many ways as possible, but my main Shepard, who I consider the real Shepard, romances Kaidan, and will stay true to the happy ending.
