#the new mass effect

you know what my favorite thing is about kaidan and his story ark?

he undeniably follows shepard loyally through the first game no question. he admires her for her title and the medals she single-handedly won. he had no reason to doubt her authority.

another note is that you have missions pertaining to every one of the crew members, exceptkaidan. (or ashley if you so choose). wrex, with his family armor. garrus, with dr. saleon. tali, with the geth data. and even liara, on noveria.

mass effect 2 is about loyalty. earning the trust from your crew, even garrus and tali need a loyalty mission before they can perform their best on the mission.

what im trying to point out is, you don’t just go somewhere and fight someone or something for kaidan to think better of you after mass effect 2. you earnhis trust. through being exactly who he remembers you to be, through showing him that you still care by visiting him at the hospital after mars.

kaidan never neededanything from shepard. he just wanted to know that she was real. that her feelings for him, everything that happened between them was real.

and it was.

i can’t wait to play a mass effect/dragon age game for the first time again
