So I'm not done with the game; maybe you can do this, later, and someone can just tell me and put me at ease.  Otherwise, this is less than constructive for Bioware - the game's done and out - but hey.

I, like probably a few people out there, am totally conflicted about the 'cheating' thing.  My Paragon Shep is definitely still in love with Kaidan, but I think it really works for her character to grow closer to Garrus.  The whole mentor thing, his new maturity and badassness, his support of her vs. Kaidan's whole freakout.  Glad I brought him to Horizon.

(And I give major props for an adult, respectful, but basically playful - and not be-all, end-all romantic - flavor to that whole thing.  People in life are too rarely down to approach sex with that mixture of light fun and deep respect.  Would love for a more serious option to reveal itself in ME3, though, for story's sake.  And since I'm not done yet, maybe Garrus is like Kelly, where it's just a fling or open to interpretation, and the picture stays up?  Anyway, this applies to the more serious ones too, if that's the case.)

So I'm two steps into 'reach and flexibility' - and with the consequences two years and a whole GAME away, it's driving me a little crazy.  I'm going to go with the more interesting narrative development, even if Kaidan flips - but it'd be nice to eventually have the option of making a decent case for yourself.  I get that he's an old-fashioned dude, I wouldn't want his character super-compromised to assuage my guilt, but I'd like to get a solid word in. 

(In conversation, Shep makes it game-clear that Kaidan's 'moved on, I can't blame him' - despite that half-assed, still-accusatory apology email.  'When things settle' or 'smoke clears' or whatever - when is MY life going to ever 'settle'?  It's always now or never with me, foo!  'Do you even remember that night before Ilos?'  Do I EVEN remember it?  Screw you.  All that says 'we're on an indefinite break, which only I have the power to call off' to me.  So you're off and fuming and trying to deal, which is fine - but I and everyone on my crew is about to die, and I need to move on one way or another, too.  So yeah - you're a sweet guy, I still love you, but I guess we will see when things 'settle', eh?)

POINT OF POST - there's a freaking THERAPIST on board!  Can Shep talk to her about all this?  As an interesting (and fairly self-evident) story option, for the player to get a chance to express whatever philosophy she or he may have about her actions, and even possibly impact the game/future conversations that way - but also as a means for the developers to give a hint of some consequences.  If they're hardline about cheating, for example (given that that whole relationship's a big dubious question mark, from Kaidan's end.)  Obviously, Kelly's speculation is Bioware's speculation, and that would certainly be helpful - and wouldn't need to be a total give-away or a get-out-of-jail-free card. 

So I hope Kaidan will forgive eventually.  (But my Renegade Shep is going to toss him to the winds for Thane, even if he's dead by the time it matters.)
