Canadian Delicacy - The Kaidan Alenko Thread

So...which combat outfit does everyone prefer for Kaidan in ME3?

I love the blue outfit. Just looks so futury and adds to the smexy.

I also prefer the Blue outfit. 

yes, very shapely indeed 


I wonder if ME2/ME3 on Xbox one are being delayed so it comes out closer to Andromeda's launch? Get the newer gamers interested in the trilogy and wanting to buy Andromeda maybe?

Callin' it now!

I feel like I'm the only one that liked Kaidan's appearance in the first two games better. He seems so bulked up and just...not himself to me in ME3. I try to head cannon that he trained his butt off getting that N7 status but all that muscle seems extraneous when his talents are more mental/biotic. Maybe it's just my dissatisfaction with the overall aesthetic direction ME3 went with the VS being made more stereotypically attractive rather than their personality being the main focus.

I think it's the change of the engine and graphics mostly. It's the Dragon Age LI problem throughout the course of the DA franchise all over again. The games have different graphics so it's very difficult to make the characters look the same. The best they can hope for is to make them similar enough. I mean, the face model is still taken off the same person. It just got more detail and polish. It's also worth noting that he got older.

As for him being more buff, I agree, but that happened to all the male characters in ME3. Because the male body model is used for all human male characters, then they're all so muscular. (Even Joker is freaking ripped and he, of all people, shouldn't be.) I also think it is an overkill. I mean, I can appreciate that kind of physique, just like I can appreciate lighter and other builds, but not even actual marines are that buff.

EDIT: Personally, I like both versions.

I definitely still love that face in ME3, I just wish they'd let him shave. Maybe Andromeda will have different body models for different companions, the way they did for DA2. [crosses fingers]

It wasn't RPG-friendly at all, they configured A LOT of it. 

Kaiden in the pink always makes me smile, he looks so bad in it.

That was so wrong. I'd welcome a pointless mod that fixed it

Nonsense! Heresy! Kaidan looks good in everything.

Oh, manbasket armor, how I miss thee!  (Sadly, I couldn't find a good shot of Kaidan in one, as fun as it was to look.)
