#mass effect kaiden

did it suddenly get warmer in here?

shoutout to all the shepards who have sick ass tattoos and scars all over them.

I keep thinking of all the characters that never really interacted with each other and how they might react to one another. Anyways so here’s this.

No spoilers for mass effect 3 please <3

Mass effect characters I feel would be friends

If Kaiden stuck around in me2. I feel like him and Jacob would have been pretty close.

• Jacob was only with Cerberus because he felt like they were actually doing something to make a difference but he still didn’t like them.

• Kaiden clearly hates Cerberus. Being a firm Alliance golden boy and supporter of going through proper channels and you know not being a horrible abusive terrorist organization.

I think they could of had some interesting conversations together. Two different perspectives on how shit should get done, but both believe in doing good and hate Cerberus.

I sacrificed Ashley so I missed out on a ton of dialog. But Ashley was a good soldier and a loyal one. A bit flighty imo but I get why.

I looked up some of her dialogue a while ago and I noticed she calls out men being gross a number of times. She seems very protective most likely due to her being a sister.

• Miranda and Ashley would have been a great pair. They are both older sisters who would give anything to protect their family.

• I also feel like Ashley would try to connect with Jack. Idk if it would work. But I think Ashley could get as close as femshep gets to Jack. I feel like Ash wouldn’t take any of Jacks shit and because of that I think Jack would kinda respect her as much a Jack can.

• Kasumi, Tali, Ashley and Miranda imagine the girls nights, dragging Jack to be apart of it. All those girls know how to get into some trouble. They’d be a ton of fun together.

• Kasumi would love James. They’d be cute

• James and Jacob… On the one hand they could be bros. On the other I feel it is very likely they wouldn’t like each other idk why it’s just a vibe I get

• Thane and Samara I think would have been close. They were both experienced in killing people. Both have interesting moral codes. They both have strained relationships with their kids. I would have loved a cutscene between the two.

• Garrus and Thane, I think Garrus could have learned a lot from Thane.

Garrus in me2 thinks what he’s doing is the honorable thing and I don’t get the impression he feels a ton of guilt about it. It honestly seems like he’s killing for himself not for the greater good.

Thane has a very strict moral code about killing, he does not enjoy it but he does it because who else will. I feel if they talked Thane could have led Garrus in a better direction in handling justice, give him a better stance on what he’s fighting for.

• Grunt and Wrex!! They do interact on Tuchanka but not enough. Interactions between these too would be amazing.

• Odd one but I think interactions between Zaeed and Javik would be hilarious. They wouldn’t be friends at all. But i think they’d be rivals.

The ME3 Citadel DLC really has everything:

-An evil clone

-Commander Shepard and Javik battling for top billing with Blasto the hanar in a war propaganda film

-An anime style zoom in on the eyes of Traynor and her greatest rival over a match of space chess

-A scene where you have to manually press whatever buttons your system requires 183 times to beat James in a pull up competition

-A scene where the gang is trapped in a vault with limited air, while Shepard complains about the fact that no one told them how cheesy they sound when they talk

-Shepard forcing a hardened mercenary/bounty hunter to say 'please' when he asks for more change to beat the claw game in an arcade

-Shepard almost being assassinated in a sushi resturant, then being ceaselessly derided for falling through a fish tank in their escape attempt and getting everyone's favorite restuarant closed

-Potentially a sexy tango dance scene with a merc-killing vigilante turian

-The chance to rebelliously stick your hands under a decorative waterfall so many times that a staff member is like, 'fine, do what you want, but just so you know this waterfall is a hanar urinal'

-Shepard learning to play piano

-Shepard Accusing Kaiden of poisoning them Canada style

-A toothbrush that prevents a hijacking attempt

-Watching some good old fashioned telepathic sports and cracking open a cold one with the boys while the galaxy is in a shambles

-Wrex complaing that he's been having so much sex he's too exhausted to fight the Reapers

-Playing fetch with a skillet and a Varren

-Just two space divas drinking wine and talking about shoes

-"It's joking time."

Unironically, this is truly Bioware's finest work.

The “Shepard Effect” has gotten so much funnier to me as I replay Mass Effect. The thing where all Shep’s squadmates end up flying the nest and becoming big important players in their own spheres? Like the random mercenary Shep brought along to hunt Saren ended up leading his entire species, that random Quarian kiddo on her Pilgrimage ends up as her species ambassador, the Virmire survivor becomes the next human Specter, etc. It’s the effect Shepard just has on the people around them that launches their careers/destinies... except it doesn’t apply to Shepard themself. I get the marketing plan of “Commander Shepard” being the only title so they’re more recognizeable to a gamer audience, but from a military perspective it is so fucking funny that Commander Shepard doesn’t get promoted once. Like not even posthumously, not even after saving the Citadel and killing Reapers left and right, all the while their squadmates are jumping from lieutenant to major, kid to ambassador, professor to Shadow Broker. Garrus isn’t even attached to any government body, and he still goes from C-Sec officer to Omega vigilante to Reaper expert(?) in the turian Hierarchy. It’s unclear what his official position is in the third game, but we know he gets a salute from a Hierarchy general.

And here’s Shepard cruising through, still a Commander because obviously they haven’t done a single thing worthy of promotion since the first game. No, it’s fine, they’ll fix everything for you and keep killing Reapers left and right. Died in the line of duty? Just a normal tuesday for Commander Shepard, nothing noteworthy here. Yes they will be the commanding officer of a major, there is nothing strange about this rank structure.

A character sheet of one of my favourite characters, Kaiden "pancakes are my love language" Alenko.

This is based off of @swaps55's version of Kaiden, because at this point her Opus series is the only version of Mass Effect I accept.

[pigeonrocks]

probably wont finish the me3 squad screen... so here are the redraws i did anyway for me1 & me2 :)

[lizardsexposed]

[shenkospectres]

playing mass effect 3 is like excuse me while i commit genocide to tap that ass

[hum-tittle]

Here's the order, I think the squadmates would be found if they played hide and seek.

Mordin- He doesn’t hide. He says he wants to study how we all hide and react in a non dangerous but stress inducing situation. But he is actually running several bets against everyone and is keeping track of that data.

Javik- He refuses to hide, he says something about how hiding is weak and he will not practice weakness

Tali- She giggles when playing hide and seek

Grunt- he thought he was hidden well behind the counter but the top of his head is visible

Legion- He definitely would have been higher if his face wasn’t a literal flashlight

It has now been about five minutes.

Jack and Miranda- They both hid in the same closet. They start to argue about who should leave “their” hiding place. They then started throwing things and were quite loud.

James- He self eliminates. He was bored and just wanted to do better than Jack.

Ashley- She also self eliminates to flirt with James

It has now been about 10 minutes since they started

Liara- James sends Gliph to get Liara revealing her location.

Jacob- He was hidden decently it was just where Shepard happened to look

Joker- EDI helped him find a good safe spot before she hid

They’re 20 minutes into the game

Kaiden- He climbed somewhere to hide and Shepard found him while doing that stretch thing they always do.

Zaeed- He fell asleep while hiding and his snoring gave him away.

45 minutes have passed since the beginning

Samara- She felt it would be unfair to use her biotics against non-biotics.

We are now at the hour mark of the game. Javik is getting annoyed and is now determined to help Shepard find the last few.

Garrus- Javick found him. Once Javik started helping, so did everyone else.

Wrex- Is found by Tali in a small compartment. After the genophage cure, he has developed amazing hiding skills. Everyone is still confused how he was able to fit in there.

It has now been an hour and a half with three players not found. They split into teams to find them.

Thane- he is “found” by Grunt and Jack. He heard them talk about their lack of childhood and how they wish they got to experience things like this. He lets them find him.

It has been 2 hours since the start. Shepard suggests giving up and letting EDI and Kasumi win. Javik is enraged he can’t find them. And refuses to give up.

Edi and Kasumi- Javik finally found them after 30 minutes of searching. They were hiding in the same closet Jack and Miranda were in earlier. EDI and Kasumi were working together and knew after the mess Jack and Miranda made no one would think they would be hiding in there. Javik was so annoyed he wanted to play again but with his rules, and he wanted to be the seeker.
