Canadian Delicacy - The Kaidan Alenko Thread

Andromeda isn't going to touch the endings. Whichever one you choose/feels best is The End because it's your game, as Bio intended.

--I have seen all 3 endings: One thing I like about Synthesis is when EDI hugs your LI. It's so damn bittersweet.

I don't think Andromeda will mention anything about the original trilogy for that matter. They seem to want to start anew, and I'm ok with that.

I choose High EMS Destroy. Kaidan commandeered Normandy and went back to Earth to rescue Shepard. She recovered and they got married and have babies. The End.

I've got the MEHEM mod. It's great, no more Shepard lying underneath some rubble . It's the only way I can play ME3 again.

I always headcanon the ending to the Citadel DLC, as the definitive ending to the trilogy for me. It makes sense arguably for plenty of people, since for some the Citadel DLC may well be the last thing they play from the original trilogy.

Whenever I play now I always play right through to the "ending" on Earth, then reload the save before Cerberus HQ, just pretend that Shepard and the squad and crew are all alive and well, the Reapers destroyed, and then go to the Citadel for some well earned shore leave.

After their adventures, and party where they all got together, Shepard and Kaidan share a romantic and nostalgic exchange together, with the rest of the squad and crew joining them at the Normandy dock.

"It's been a good ride"

"The best"

*my heart breaks* and then they all go back on the Normandy and ride off into the sunset for more adventures in the Reaper and Cerberus free Milky Way.

The end.

Fin.

*goes and cries into a pillow*

I don't think you can do Citadel after the ending without mods.  The ending makes it kind of impossible.

This... is almost just more sad because (RIP) Robin Williams.

Gotcha.  Personally, I find that Citadel can be played over a long stretch of the game.  The ending of if ought to be done just prior to going to Cronos Station.  To me, this is like they got a short rest (party) and are then going off to meet their fate.  I just make sure I have high EMS, I've talked to my crew and squadmates and I choose Destroy.  Then Shepard and any potential LI both survive.  That allows for a happily ever after headcanon.  The only ones who die are the ones who the game mandates have to die.  (Actually, a mod can save one of the mandatory deaths but not the other.)

I don't think it means all tech will be destroyed, just tech based on Reaper tech.  I believe some of Shepard's implants were based on Reaper tech, just as the rogue VI upgrade to EDI was a result of Reaper tech.  I guess it's not stated in the game that he has Reaper tech in him but it seems plausible since EDI also came into being in that same time period.  It's not unreasonable.

Kaidan getting a new implant would probably be a good thing.  He's very powerful with an L2.  Imagine if he were upgraded to and L5?  (Not sure it's possible since was I just read says there are two L5 implants, one for Vanguards and one for Adepts.)  He'd probably be unstoppable with that kind of upgrade and no more migraines.
