No matter how boring, I’ll take Kaiden over that space racist any day of the week.
I wasn’t even sorry to let Ashley die. She was condescending, hostile, and antagonistic for no real reason. And she’s supposed to be a love interest? If you’re playing anything but a full renegade, it’s hard to imagine she’d even like Shepard.
Kaidan’s characterisation fits better regardless of your Shepard’s alignment, he’s a more useful squadmate in general (especially in ME3), and he’s better voice acted.
I guess she appeals more to those who like people that challenge their views more. She can be rough, but she is a military person after all.
If I’m honest I usually choose Kaiden. I don’t want to start the whole ‘Ashley is a space racist’ argument on Lemmy but I didn’t like her attitude in the first game. Kaiden may be a bit bland but a good lad. You’d be okay with him marrying your sister.
It’s a bit shallow, but teen me liked girls more so why would I ever have chosen Kaiden over Ashley? Lol
Nowadays I’m more open to either, even though they have the same paths their personalities differ enough to make either decision interesting.
You can keep them both alive if you save Jenkins.
I can picture the headline now, “16 years later Mass Effect fans still haven’t found this 1 elusive secret.”
