Well the evidence i was suggesting was the mass of husks and alien pods all around them. The suggestion that Cerberus the "pro human terrorists" don't usually do things like kidnapping entire human colony's, and the biggest sign is that no way is the pro human cerberess working with alien collectors. The fact that a collector ship and collector bodies that you put down are all around you.


That's the kind of thing Cerberus is known for. They act like they care and then you find out later that they were exceptionally cruel. Look at Chaska. Look at what they did at the Teltin facility. Look at the Collector ship trap that TIM sent Shepard into. They're perfectly capable of lying and doing horrible things all in the name of doing what they want to do. They have a history of doing these things. It's a reasonable suspicion.

We also don't know how long Kaidan has been up as we only see him come running out. (haven't watched that part for a while so details may be off)

He's been on the secret mission sinse the start of the game, and you go to citadael to talk to anderson; the subject of you meeting with the council has made the council aware of you, others have heard about you (messages as the game goes) and for an officer in charge of a large project would have been informed of you long before you showing up. Anderson has tried to assist you by telling the council of what you think is happening, even though they don't believe it.


Not knowing how long Kaidan has been up has nothing to do with anything. 

He was not informed about Shepard. He heard rumors. They purposefully didn't tell him so that he could tell them what he saw in a completely unbiased manner. He even said, "I heard the rumors but I never expected this." So no, he wasn't informed at all.

And you assume i dislike Kaidan, but i'm not blindly ignoring things, as i do like the character established in the first, but in the 2nd he is acting like an emotional civillian instead of a military officer who shouldn't be ignoring all clues around him and any possible counter points you make to explain the situation, nor you actions of taking on the collectors (which he may not have any knowledge of based on his introduction to the ending). To many glaring contraditions to ignore and just assume. I like to believe they don't promote officers to higher ranks that just jump the gun and assume conclusions when there is many clue's all around them and contradiction to thier assumptions.


I never said that you didn't like Kaidan. 

Shepard's counterpoints are pretty lame and all they amount to is, "Nuh-uh. Just trust what I have to say at face value." Again, there is absolutely nothing that shows that Shepard isn't working with Cerberus. Shepard shows up with them. The logical assumption is that Shepard is working with them. It's not jumping to conclusions; it's common sense. I said the same thing in my past two posts. 

Nethershadow wrote...
Yes you are back from MIA, as they never had a body to say you are officially dead, and your working with a well known pro human terrorist group, but there is a massive alien spaceship and piles of collectors and other freakshow husks which Kaidan has seen simular before all around them. Kaidan is also not unfamiliar with to alien forces trying to conquerer the galaxy and has encountered the husks before; which he should be able to easily conclude there is way more going on here than what he originally thought.


And Cerberus has captured husks and dragonteeth as well as Thorian creepers to study them. Look at what happened on Chaska; because of Cerberus, that whole colony was wiped out. Kaidan's not being stupid to suspect that Cerberus might be involved in these attacks somehow. 

But a lot of people seem to forget these Cerberus sidequests in ME1 since they're very obscure. Cerberus has shown that they'll use alien and reaper technology to do whatever they want and it usually results in the deaths of many innocent people.

Nethershadow wrote...

So i like Kaidan, just not how he was done in the second, as to me it seems too much like tv emotional soap opera reaction and not enough seen some chit in the galaxy alliance officer tenacity. Just because you suggest that you will support Kaidan blindly to the situation because you like him, i at least can offer constructive criticism of him. And yes, kick in the *ss meaning, knock some sense into him and stop assuming.


I see his side of the argument and understand where he is coming from. There's a big difference between that and refusing to attempt to even understand where he got the idea that Cerberus might be trying to fool Shepard. I don't agree with him on Horizon because I have more information than him but at the same time I can understand his point of view based on the limited amount of concrete, factual information that he has. In fact, he's being a good officer by being suspicious of Shepard, who is working with terrorists. It's a completely ludicrous suggestion that Kaidan ought to believe Shepard outright without further investigation into what is going on. 

And of course he's going to be upset. Shepard shows up after two years and is working with terrorists. There's no immediate proof that Shepard was dead or not. So he has to contend with the idea that maybe Shepard was a double agent all along. It's silly to assume that he ought to believe outright that Shepard was rebuilt and made alive again; something like that has never been done before. So the whole situation is incredibly confusing for him; it's a pretty normal response (even for an officer) to get upset.

You're not offering constructive criticism. You're coming in with a torch saying that you'll kick his ass. That's not constructive; it's inflammatory and over the top. We don't mind a debate in this thread but statements like that aren't going to win any points.

Your right, but no one saw him die. Joker saw him shunted into space in a full enviromental suit which he was unaware was damage

Honestly if I saw that, I'd think Shepard was dead. So far as being captured goes, I'm not sure the Collectors had started abducting people by then. The game makes it sound like it's a recent thing. The Collectors honestly just looked like they wanted to kill Shepard - if they wanted to capture her blowing up her ship is a pretty stupid way to do so.


I understand what your saying, but i i dont think they had ever identified the ship that attacked normandy 1, so they didn't know it was the collectors.

The only info they had was that sheperd was last seen floating into space in a full environmental suit and there was the enemy ship still close by.

So as far as anyone's guess goes, what is more plausible to you; would you guess that it more likely sheperd was picked up by unknown enemy vessel or that he died by falling into a planet, which after a good amount of time like 2 years his body was collected and ressurrected which is unheard of if not impossible?

Based on any of his prior ship mates to survive, i would think all of them would think the first of the two options far more viable than the second. Liara is the exception as she was committed to sheperd, even in death.

I'm not surprised that Kaidan doesn't trust Shepard. She could be a clone or brainwashed or mind-controlled or a robot or any number of nasty things.



I don't trust Shepard. Heck, my Shepard doesn't trust Shepard.



(And really, if you listen to him, he does seem to trust Shepard, but not want to work for Cerberus. And you have the option to say you're not working for Cerberus... it comes up as "I'm working 'with' Cerberus, not 'for' Cerberus," which is utter trash as a distinction, but also true, so whatever.)

I owe you Image IPB
Joker saw her got spaced and then there was this big explosion wich indicated that shep  died from that (well i would of think that anyway unless the suit she was wearing was majorshipexplosionproof.......and in that case kaidan would be right accusing me as traitor but not for working with Cer...but working with the reapers since noone has that kind of advanced tech so far but the reapers lol) so kaidan would have to search dust in te space

My issue in the 2nd is that he is more upset with you showing up with cerberus than he is about what just happened and that you are saying to him that you basically came here to help/stop the incident. I do expect him to be suspisious but it is like your history/bond of friendship built from the previous game was discarded and he was more concerened that you might be working with terrrorists and completely discards any merit you have built with him.

I would have liked to see him embrace his long lost comrade, and tell him in some form it is great to see him (and a love interest optional kiss for femsheps like liara gives in illium) but he is warry of the "RUMOURS" that he has heard but will give his close ally and prior commander who saved the galaxy a chance to explain without blowing up in his face and calling him a traitor and not even giving you any merit. Whe you call your close friend a traitor, you really aren't friends or anything close to it at that point which feels to extreme considering what has been done and what has come between you two. I felt you deserved a better response than being chastised / disbelieved outright solely because you had questionable company which by the could very well be here to help as things are looking.

How do you know he isn't upset about what just happened? At least he actually stayed on the planet and probably helped the colonists out. Shepard left.
As for the 'history/bond' or 'merit' between them....Shepard was dead. A corpse. Gone. Passed. No longer among the living. Did you want Kaidan to cry on her bier for the rest of his life? He just got slapped with two huge WTF moments. Shepard's alive and she's working for Cerberus. And he's supposed to be okay with that in any way? Kaidan is not a lapdog.

He did embrace a romanced femshep. Me, I'd have gone for an instant gropfest, but hey, the game has to be kid friendly.
The fact that Kaidan wouldn't give Shepard time to explain is OOC for Kaidan and a deliberate plot device done by writers whom I will give the benefit of the doubt as to being overworked and given an impossible deadline. The WRITERS had to make Kaidan mad. They had to keep him from listening to Shepard because Kaidan's character is such that if he listens, he would understand and he would have joined Shepard again. The WRITERS could not allow that to happen for story reasons we as yet do not understand.
Put simply...neither Shep nor Kaidan have any bragging rights on Horizon. It's a plot device. A shoddy written plot device, but it's what we're stuck with. But to blame Kaidan for having a mind of his own and not instantly falling to Shepard's feet in hero worship is arrogant at best and narcissitic at worst. From ME1 Kaidan has shown a willingness to not follow Shepard blindly. It is intrinsic in his nature. To ask him to suddenly be a sycophant is unrealistic.

First up, you can't compare his reactions to Liara's.  Liara has inside knowledge that he doesn't have.  Kaidan has been told by the Alliance that Shepard is dead, he has no reason to doubt them.  There are always rumours floating around, it doesn't make them true.

Cerberus are only interested in helping Cerberus, they had no interest in helping the colonists.  As we have seen in ME1 they aren't above sacrificing human lives for their experiments.  TIM doesn't give a damn about the colonists on Horizon and whether they were taken or not, he deliberately targeted that colony and set them up for the collectors and to further Shepard's belief in him.

I don't trust Shepard. Heck, my Shepard doesn't trust Shepard.

Really, after pulling that disappearing act, I'm surprised anyone would follow Shepard down the street, let alone though the Omega 4 relay. For one thing it seems too good to be true. The whole, 'we can rebuild her, we have the technology' thing is pretty sci-fi for this sci-fi. That you can re-recruit Garrus, Tali, Chakwas, and Joker I'll accept with a  large grain of salt, but appearing out of nowhere right at the heart of all that mayhem just in the nick of time while being financially backed by a known terrorist organization after allowing everyone you love to believe you've been dead for the last two years and hoping an Alliance loyalist with whom you were once so intimately involved who has not only spent said years mourning your death but also has a nice case of survivor's guilt thrown in for good measure will immediately jump right back on your 'save the galaxy once again' train, no questions asked? That's not a grain of salt, that one of them blocks they give cows to lick. 

That and he's already driving his own train.

Anyway, a roundabout way of saying my Shepard definitely doesn't trust Shepard either. I'm still fully expecting BioWare to pull something tricksy concerning the Lazarus Project. We really only have Miranda's second-hand assurance that TIM didn't have that chip installed. Or have added any other sort of 'upgrades'. And whose to say you really are the real Shepard? Or the only Shepard? The conspiracy theorist in me is having a field day with all the possibilities.

(The Kaidan and Ashley DLC thread has been a bit quiet, so I thought I'd lurk here for a while. Hello! Hopefully my tendency to ramble won't scare everyone away. :whistle:)

I hope there's something more to it.  Alas, I suspect that Shepard is indeed Shepard, and any interesting development in dying and being revived has been thrown out the window.  What we see is what we get.  <_<

But where are my manners?  Welcome!  Pull up a chair...

This.
 
If the writers would have given Shepard the chance to act like she does in every other difficult situation she's faced and Kaidan the chance to listen to what she says as he would have normally done, they wouldn't be in the mess they are in at the end of ME2.

Jaer nailed it, his behavior was OOC as was Shepard's sudden inability to speak in the eloquent, well thought out fashion we're accustom to.

100% plot device.

I've said it before and many other people share the opinion,  Horizon in theory was a great idea but the execution of it sucked and was unbelievable.

Edit - Kaidan's perfectly justified in being upset and disbelieving however if you choose the line for Shepard that goes something like "I was technically dead" then in any other situation he'd want to hear more and not just blow it off.

I suppose that he could mean Anderson, but Anderson isn't always the human Councilor.
I don't really want him to be a Spectre, but that comment does point to him having some special posisition with the Council, doesn't it?

That question has been raised many times.   The  issue with that line of thought is that it would also mean Ashley is one as well unless the writers suddenly break from treating the characters like Ashidan and write separate and distinct storylines for them in ME3.
 
I have a harder time with believing that Ashley is a Spectre than Kaidan is one.

I don't like the line of thinking that Kaidan is a Spectre just because that might imply that the Council might send him out against Shepard at some point to take her down.  I really don't want that.

The entire anti-hero concept of ME2 works better in theory than practice, for me, not just Horizon, but that's not really on topic.

Knowing what we think they needed to accomplish at Horizon, (though we don't know /why/ yet, obviously, cause evil dev's like subjecting people to cliffhangers), I'm not sure how they could have done it better, dialogue-wise. It is the sort of situation that should make smart people stupid. Emotional reunions generally do that to everyone, and there's only so many ways to stalk off in a huff without talking to each other.

They could at least have animated it better, though, with individualized cut-scenes and no crossed eyes. *sighs*

And, in the continuing update of a Shepard who refused to stick to lousy in-game dialogue, Lost for Words chapter 22 and chapter 23 are up for your (hopeful) enjoyment. ^_~

I was just looking up meanings and origin for the name "Kaidan" and I found a few possibilities:
Kaidan - from Kaden (Arabic) meaning "companion
Kaidan - (English) Rebel, Fighter, Spirit of Battle
Kaidan - Kwaidan (Japanese) "ghost story"


I heard a mom calling for her son "Jaiden" the other day, also met a kid named Kaidan last week. Seems like it's a name that gaining some popularity right about now. So the first time I heard the name Kaidan, it gave me this weird impression that in 2183 (that's the time, right?) Kaidan would probably be this name that was popular about a hundred years before but had become a little old fashioned. like the name Henry or Charles. Somehow, that seemed to fit Kaidan's personality - just a little old fashioned


Kaidan my Knight in Shining Armor:wub:..........not PHOENIX!!!!:pinched: lol could not reasist


Yeah.  He's a nice White Knight.  Image IPB
It would be cool if he gets to fulfill that role in DLC of ME3 and rescue Shepard for once.
*happy sigh*
Can't you see him running to her aid in a cutscene like this:

Okay, well, perhaps a little more dressed than that, but this picture's just more fun.  Image IPB


Well ya not to save shep but maybe later in the DLC :wub:......and i know you know what i mean:innocent:

The only one who deserve a kick in the ass is TIM...I think that he was involved with the collectors somehow ( don't forget the face of TIM on the collector's base when you are going to destroy the human reaper), many things in the game are too convinient for Cerberus...(I even think that Cerberus might be behind of  Shepard's death)
Shep can do that....Shep can kick Cerberus to the hell and beyond.

After read "Retribution" I hate much more Cerberus and the illusive man.
I'm waiting so much for that oportunity....

Hmm, Kaidan sees dead collectors and collector pods all over Horizon.  He also sees Cerberus operatives in the area.  Why wouldn't he think that Cerberus is working with the Collectors or using them for their own purposes???  Let's review:

Evil / Stupid Things Cerberus Has Done That Kaidan or Ashley definitely know about (collected from the Mass Effect Wiki):

-  conducted horrific experiments intended to create super soldiers, including experiments on rachni and Thorian Creepers.

-  accidentally unleashed rachni on Listening Posts Alpha and Theta when their experimental subjects -- shipped from Noveria -- escaped from Depot Sigma-23.

-  deliberately destroyed a settlement on Chasca by turning the colonial pioneer team there into Husks.

-  in one of their most devastating experiments, Cerberus lured thresher maws to the colony on Akuze, resulting in the notorious massacre, later capturing Corporal Toombs -- one of the only survivors -- to conduct brutal tests.

-  Commander Shepard, investigating the disappearance of a group of marines under Rear Admiral Kahoku, found that Cerberus had lured them to a thresher maw nest using a distress beacon (similar to the "experiment" they allegedly conducted on Akuze). After being informed of their death, Kahoku bought information from the Shadow Broker and sent Shepard to track Cerberus down. Shepard's team went to Binthu to take out Cerberus' research bases, but not before Cerberus had Kahoku killed. Shepard then headed to Nepheron to launch an assault on Cerberus' main base.

Things that Kaidan / Ashley may NOT know about, but make Cerberus even more evil / stupid:

-  the events of Mass Effect Ascension, where Cerberus infiltrated an Alliance biotic training facility, the Ascension Project, and forced a red sand addict to give his autistic daughter biotic enhancing drugs that would also give her seizures.  Then they tried to steal the quarian Flotilla's transmission codes and blow up the Migrant Fleet.  Why?  Because TIM doesn't like that they have a lot of ships.

Then we have the facility on Pragia that Jack escaped from, Project Overlord, and all the lies and traps TIM send Shepard into.

Really?  Kaidan should just *know* that Shepard has good intentions when he sees that she's joined Cerberus?  I would really hope that he has more sense than that.

I finished LotSB last night... and I have absolutely no complaints except one:

Spoiler:
There was no mention of Akuze in the Cerberus dossier. Unless I missed it? I may be more upset about that than BW's treatment of the VS.
