I really didn't like that squad mates didn't just say their opinion in certain circumstances and instead had to be paragon or renegade. Considering Kaidan is the most "paragon" of the sliding scale (which surprised me considering Liara), though, it's not entirely unreasonable to guess that he would tend towards paragon decisions for the most part in actuality.
i, too, found that odd. also, it seemed like some characters got to have the "badass" lines and the others got the "derp, newbie" lines. on ilos, for example, one person gets to be the "who votes we take the tank into the creepy underground bunker" person and the other says, "don't let them get away!" one game, garrus got ALL the badass lines and kaidan sounded like this total newb in response. next game, kaidan was the one saying the badass, veteran soldier lines (including the tank line, and the delivery is hilarious) and garrus sounded like this rookie. it was just...strange. like total luck of the draw sometimes. it was why i never played with wrex in the party - kaidan always came off with the rookie lines.
anyhow.
