Hang in there.  It is hard to balance school and everything else.  A couple of years ago I was working full time and going to school full time. I thought I would lose my mind before I made it through.

Good morning all!
I'm actually feeling inspired to work on my Shep fics today. Now if only this pesky work thing wouldn't get in the way!

Hehe, indeedie? Well, now my interview is out of the way, I can work on mine too..well, ok, its an ash one but still.

I'm waiting to hear back from an interview I had last week.  They told me they would have a decision by around today, so I'm just keeping my fingers crossed.  

So, I know this hasn't been addressed in awhile, but I'm going to revisit the topic of a "real life" Kaidan because I found some pictures I really like.  Someone suggested that Henry Cavill from The Tudors would be good to star as Kaidan in a Mass Effect movie only with darker hair. 

I also found a site that was making an unnofficial ME movie, and they were suggesting John Leguizamo for the role.

I like them both, but I'm a big Henry Cavill fan.  He would have to be my choice between these two.
 

Good luck with the results of your interview! I hope things work out! I love Henry Cavill, not only is he really, really ridiculously good looking, he seems like such an intelligent, sweet guy, plus he's a gamer! Wonder if he's played Mass Effect? 

Rome was great, I think Ray Stephenson would make a great Shep, actually. Kuno Becker definitely has that Kaidanish look about the eyes. Ah, I <3men with dark curlyish hair.

Garrus and Tali were my A team, too, especially in my first playthrough. I brought Jack and Samara along sometimes, and the rest I mostly used just for their loyalty missions. Even now when I switch it up more a little more often, I mostly stick to Garrus and Tali, it feels so natural to bring them along, and I play a Vanguard or an Adept, so it makes sense from a tactical perspective, too. In ME1 I always had Kaidan (biotics and decryption, yay) on my team and then usually Ash, Garrus or Tali, sometimes Wrex. Shamefaced confession: I played on casual...so I could pretty much bring whoever I want and still pwn the geth.

[syllogi]

On my first playthrough I stuck to Garrus and Samara or Thane, mostly, but after doing Miranda's loyalty quest, I started to like her a lot more. Plus she's pretty cool at the end if you bring her to the final battle and choose the Paragon option. Now I bring her everywhere, for her squad bonus ability, and switch out either Samara or Jack, for an all female butt-kicking team.



I would trade all of the ME2 squadmates for just Kaidan, Liara and Wrex, though.

Sorry forgot to look at your sig while tabbing between stuff here  And my, you sure are making sure I'm not getting anything done today Thanks for the fic, really loved it. Wish there was an option to actually speak to Kaidan like that in ME2. Just hearing him over the comm in your cabin and being able to talk back instead of the mail. Not sure what Shepard would have said exactly but the option would have been nice.

I'm expecting a lot more fanfic from all of you in the coming years, to fill in the blanks and such

Yeah, I know.  If they can put in the futuristic equivalent of a phone call between SpacerShep and her mothe in ME1, then there's no excuse why they couldn't have done the same for FemShep and Kaidan (or male Shepard and Ashley)

Indeed In fact the whole Spacer thing with your mother made little sense in ME2 as well. She was annoyed she had to hear you were alive from a different source than her own daughter...and that's it? Really? Blegh, while the mail system is perfect for sidequest references with thank you notes and whatnot, I think it sucks big time for more important content like a LI or your freaking mother.
But thanks again for the fic, at least you gave me what Bioware decided not to.

I haven't played my spacer Shep yet...kinda lost the desire to play the game pretty quickly. I wonder if they intended to leave the email set the way it is or if they had wanted to do more with it and ran out of time. It would have made for better game immersion if we could have sent return emails, and I would think that since Bioware really likes for the players to get  caught up in the story it would have been a great opportunity to allow the player to connect more closely with some of the non-squad members. As it stands the emails felt like little more than follow-up journal entries in my opinion.

*flashes his own black hair. And pretends its curly*

Actually, know you mention it, Ray would make a good MaleShep. Or a good MaleWarden if they want him to look abit like the marketing ads.

And seriously, what happened to the day when we were social outcasts? We've had models, actresses, Van-god-damn-Diesel, Dara O'Brien and who knows who else come out as gamers (and in Van Diesel's case, a D&D player).

I'm not used to being a non-minority in my hobbies!

Yeah, I'm a spacer too, and my mother emailed me it was hard to read. 

*wonders if he was the only one who thought the email was alittle bit positive*

I thought it was pretty odd to get such a cheery email from Mom. It was very positive and refers to having heard through Alliance brass 3rd hand that you were alive. This brings me back to one of my original puzzles which is why, if Hannah Shepard had been informed 3rd hand, Shep's crew wasn't informed?   

Did you get the  Galactic News items later in teh game about Capt. Hannah Shepard turning down a promotion to the Admiralcy saying she thought remaining a captain would be a better way to honor her daughter's memory?  Seemed to conflict with her earlier email to Shep (you're alive vs. you're dead.)

Yup, its very hard to do that - but hang in their, its worth doing a good job of school. And if it makes you feel any better, I'm unemployed at the moment, heh, so I'm not so much balancing as filling.

Started to just look for greek/spanish/mexican actors to see if I could find someone. Tough one. This picture caught my eye, Kuno Becker, mexican. Something in the eyes just reminded me of Kaidan.



edit : then again, other pics are a big nono to me. But some of his shots do...oh well. Kaidan is Kaidan, doubt a lookalike is truly out there

Don't know if he's a Kaidan but he definitely is hot at least in this pic.

[RyrineaNara]

I too stick with an all female squad, but sometimes when it needs a Korgon I'll take Grunt with me. When I go to the collector ship level when you get Thane, and Samara I tend to take Tali, and Grunt. Since he tends to last longer, and her AI skills, and combat drone come in handy.



I too would trade all of the Me2 SQUAD MATES for just Kaidan, Wrex, and Liara. . However, I tend to take Jack most of the time.

In some ways I think unemployment is much harder, particularly if you're looking for work right now.  It can be hard to keep one's spirits up and remain optimistic.  So good luck to you too.

I loved that she turned down the admiralcy for her daughter thought. I just can't say why Shepards crew wasn't informed. <_<

Honestly? If you'd found out your dead son/daugther was alive, I'd think you'd be happy too (no offense intended to such parents).

And that news story started on Omega for me, so it was well before Hannah Shepard emailed to say she was glad I where alive.

I think it's to be taken into account that most people seem to assume that Shepard just have been undercover/gone for two years after having survived the Normandy crash. Or something along those lines.
Also that the news are random so for all that we know it's something that can have been reported at the start when the news agency just recieved the comment from Shepard's mom, and it's not known that Shepard is alive.

[RyrineaNara]

I too would be happy to learn that she was alive. It just that we get chewed out by Kaidan, and then get a email from your mother that sounded positive. It was just strange to me that she didn't chew me out as well for not telling her that I was alive.

[Sialater]

I'm just surprised no one quoted Twain at her. "Rumors of her demise have been greatly exaggerated," and all that. LOL

True - I assumed thats that is what Hannah Shep assumed had happened, heh. And most of the people on the Citadel - after all, the lives and acts of Spectres are secretive at best.

OMG, I just cannot get over the hotness of Kaidan in TIM's suit. Maybe this should be the new KAAS front pic? One hell of an image to get first thing in the morning!<3

So I was thinking about this this morning: we did this a while ago with the ME2 companions, but how do you think Kaidan felt about the ME1 squadmates?

My opinions:
 
Ash: Kaidan got along very well with Ash, they're opposites who complemented each other. They got along very well, though he was intiially maybe a little disappointed by her more conservative views on aliens and humanity's place in the galaxy. I don't think they would really have had political debates or anything like that, since the mission and being there for Shepard was the most important thing to both of them, but especially if you paragonized her, he was probably glad to see her change her views a little. She did him a world of good by bringing him out of his shell and making him loosen up and relax around people. I can see them as having had a sort of brother/sister dynamic with lots of the teasing we get to see in-game sometimes. It hurt him a lot to lose such a good friend in her on Virmire, especially considering his developing relationship with Shep, but he's eventually able to console himself with the knowledge that she was proud to give her life for such an important cause and got to redeem her family's honour, even though he misses her.

Liara: I think Kaidan and Liara have a lot in common, they're both rather introverted and overthink things way too much. He would have liked her a lot if she hadn't been interested in Shepard as well. Even if there was no confrontation between the three of them, he'd feel a little guilty for not liking her as much as he rationally knows he would otherwise. He may have been a little insecure too since she's so exotic/powerful biotic, etc. etc. They were good teammates, but not as good friends as they would have been without the Shep thing hanging over their heads.

Tali: Good friends. They bonded over their love of technology and as Kaidan is quite interested in alien cultures, he had a lot of fun hearing her stories about Quarians. He had a great deal of respect for her abilities and learnt a lot from her.

Wrex: I don't think he'd known quite what to make of Wrex at first, and some of Wrex's behaviour probably rather disturbed him, but they developed quite a bit of mutual respect over the course of the game and I bet they had a good time celebrating the victory after the Citadel.

Garrus: Can't think of too much with Garrus: probably relieved to get
to know a Turian (such a cool one too!) after Vrynnus, same
comrades-in-arms relationship as with Wrex, but more friendly because
they have more things in common. 

Totally agree with you on Kaidan/Ash being like siblings. I could see them even being a little competitive in a good way...good natured joking and ribbing. 

With Liara ...if Shep was out of the picture I could totally see Kaidan going for her...yes I said that. His comments to maleshep about Asari and Liara in particular convince me he was attracted to her. It's only when you play as a Femshep that Kaidan doesn't give Liara the time of day because he's crazy about Shep. 

I think Kaidan is pretty mature enough to put the jealousy matter behind him with Liara...I think he would be professional around her and have great respect for her biotics but I don't see them hanging out like I could see him hanging out with Ash or Joker. 

Garrus...I think that because Kaidan has in the past bent over backwards to prove that he's not the monster Rahna thought he was that he would be very friendly to Garrus. Once again trying to prove that he didn't hate Turians after the mess with Vrynnus.

Tali...I really can't see anything more there than perhaps an interest in her tech abilities, but I didn't use her all that much so I'm not as familiar with her as others might be.

Wrex...I really think that Kaidan might be a little bit intimidated by Wrex at first but I can see that fading away rather quickly as he got to know him. I agree with your take on  a mutual respect growing between them.

[Tatooine92]

I wish we could see Mama Shepard's face! It would be cool if each incarnation of Hannah would change based on the Shepard being played; maybe something like the eye color would change, or the facial shape so as to bear a slight resemblance. That would probably be more difficult than just making one Hannah Shepard for everyone, but I like to think that Phoenix (the redhead in my brand-spanking-new icon) has her mom's nose.

Thinking about Hannah's email from Phoenix's perspective, it was really good to get it, to hear from Mom even though she was all "Where the hell have you been?!" I can just imagine Phoenix's email reply: a faintly sarcastic "Love you too, Mom..."

Edit: And wouldn't ME3 be awesome if FemShep got to take Kaidan to meet Mom?

This should have been a dialogue option on Horizon for Shep to blurt out awkwardly! Of course Kaidan/Ash might have exploded, but it would be worth it (and you can always reload). Better than "How've you been?" at any rate.

[MICHELLE7]

Confession...I rarely ever took Garrus and Tali as squadmates in ME2...having them along just continually reminded me of the ME squad members that were not there...and that was not only Kaidan...I missed Liara as well.



I wound up using Mordin and Samara most of the time. Samara is over the top(in my opinion) the best biotic in ME2(the scene at the end if you use her to do the barrier blows me away every time). And I loved Mordins Cyro blast.

Well assuming the glaciers all melt it would raise the levels of the oceans and that would in turn result in all new beach front property. Ta da!
