Hey. We'll bang, OK?
>no option to abandon both
>>738662092>rescue religious xenophobic bimbo to be>rescue a gay dudethe choice is obvious? it's Ashley every time
Ashley is boring but I don't even remember Kaiden being a person that exists.
>>738662462that's why i choose ashley everytime. she goes out doing what she loves. killing tons of aliens.
>>738662092I've never saved Kaidan.
Kaiden has grown on me, his issues are in the past and he's a great squadmate in both 1 and 3. Besides, he's the superior officer and one of humanities best biotics, the only reason i leave him behind anymore is if i make him arm the bomb which kind of makes sense.
>>738662092where's the option to let them both die
Kaiden would be is the single most boring and forgettable party member in the entire series if not for Jacob
>>738662092Kaidan is a bro. Dunno why he's so hated. I also never got the gay cutscene because I was always already locked into a romance at that point. Isn't it only the Tali romance that takes longer?
>>738662092I honestly could't care less when I first played this. Kaidan was boring and Ashley unpleasant, I don't even remember who I picked, just wanted to see more cool aliens
>>738662092>save Ash because she's cool and got your back in ME1>turns into a neurotic alcoholic in ME3FUCK BIOWARE
>>738666080I'm more perplexed by the boggingwas it a desperate attempt by bioware to make her more popular before they went full gay?
both
>>738662462Why does everyone think Kaidan is gay? He's a romance option for femshep.
>>738662092Both of them deserve to die.
>>738666272there was drama in the early days of ME about someone datamining some gay sex scene with kaidan. it stuck well enough that bioware made him an actual gay romance option in 3
>>738662092Mass Effect 1 Kaiden is based.Mass Effect 3 Kaiden is painful to listen to.The injury he got on Mars fucked him up big time. He just didn't feel like the same person anymore.
>>738662092Ashley a shit and the worst girl in the trilogy. Kaiden is okay and a decent skill monkey.
>>738666214It was a desperate attempt to seduce Shepard. Most Shepards rejected her and went for Liara in Mass Effect 1.
>>738662092I always sent Kaiden to guard the bomb and left him to defend itJust made sense to me
>>738662092I let Kaiden go with the Salarians because he made a better argument for it than AshleyI went back for Ashley because ensuring the bomb goes off is more important than a single squadMy choice was proven right as it saved him from homosex sickness
>>738665796People killed him in the first game just for this
>>738666214every game published by EA in that era was heavily pressured to push "mature" content farther and farther. mass effect 2 added jack, and more swearing, mass effect 3 added bogged ashley, exploding heads in combat, and even more swearing.the advertistements for dragon age were basically limited to "M FOR MATURE." bad company 2 was required to add more blood and swearing. insomniac's "overstrike," which looked and felt exactly like what overwatch was going for several years later, got rebooted into yet another edgy gory grimdark shooter named "fuse." dead space 2's advertising campaign was taglined "YOUR MOM HATES THIS", and consisted of nothing but (actors posing as) elderly mothers, reacting with horrified shock at how gory the game is.say what you want about the insufferable trannoid nu-puritanism that followed this, but it didn't come out of nowhere
>>738662092Kaiden is a good guy and deserves to die honorably with a hero's noble sacrifice. This is why you rescue Ashley every time, so that way she can get the death she deserves later in ME3, alone in the hospital with an agonizing terminal illness.
>>738667679We'll bang, ok?
>>738662092Kaidan, easily.>>738666272They lazily turned him into an option for MaleShep in ME3. I say lazily, because he's effectively still straight, they just gave his exact 1:1 dialogue he has for FemShep for MaleShep and fucked up the activation dialogue (made it too easy) so tons of players have this experience where they play three games and suddenly their bro makes this awkward by wanting to suck their cock. You can easily avoid it by having a locked-in romance by the time you first talk to him post-Citadel coup.
>>738666272His scenes in the hospital with mShep are very gay coded.
>>738667080He's not gay in 1. As in, factually not a thing in-game.
