Horizon worked for me...as a player.
For my Shepard and Kaidan, it was badly written, out of character, and horrible in so many ways. But as a player, it messed with me in a good way.
In the beginning of the game it was like, “I hate Cerberus. I hate that my Shepard is being forced to work with them.” Then the game goes on just a little more and it's Joker and Chakwas and you think, “Well, they're here, too.” And you meet Ken and Gabby and good people who are there to support you. And it's less about working for Cerberus and more about working for you and working for the good of the galaxy. You're just around so many supportive people who happen to be attached to Cerberus but just because of Shepard and the mission.
And at this point, I'm still hitting the, “I don't work for Cerberus/I don't like Cerberus” options every time I see them, but as a player I'm feeling more like one of the npc's that is along for the ride. Or it may have even made me feel a little of the frustrations Shepard would be feeling. I'm going through the motions of hating Cerberus but still doing everything they say, too. Although Shepard actually SHOULD have found another way.
Then Horizon hits and I realize I fell into this trap. I as a player ate up all their npc propaganda and needed to be reminded of how much I hate Cerberus. Kaidan is that reminder. He acts how I felt at the beginning of the game before Cerberus wore me down.
For the characters, I hate Shepard in Horizon. And I'm one of those that feels Kaidan was completely justified in how he reacted and I don't resent him the tiniest little bit for turning away my Shepard. I love how fiery and passionate he is and the fact that he doesn't just follow Shepard like a sheep, blah blah all the usual reactions.
But as a player, I have this additional appreciation of him for reminding me how I felt at the beginning of the game and saying all those things that I said in the beginning but then got distracted away from. In subsequent playthroughs, Horizon stayed in my mind and I was able to keep my hatred of Cerberus going strong throughout it all, but Horizon served as a necessary tool to keep me emotionally engaged in my anti-Cerberusness.
That's a good, different kind of explanation.
Though I don't know why, working for/with/whatever Cerberus never bugged me. Whenever someone asks why, I can't really give an answer since I don't know.
Retour en haut
Granted, he's an awesome character.
