Canadian Delicacy - The Kaidan Alenko Thread

Question. In the conversation  in ME2 with Joker after Horizon, when you pick the first dialog option in the first dialogwheel, is Jane saying something, if she is in a romance with Kaidan? Is John saying something? In the english version?
I have picked this dialog option with my male Shepard in German version and he only does shaking his head. Is this a mistake by the German Version?

I don't really treat both Shepard as identical person. I don't expect Meer to act identically like Hale or vice versa. FemShep and BroShep each have their own unique relationship with Kaidan regardless of circumstance and depending on their performances. I don't see why FemShep can't playfully tease her longterm boyfriend simply because BroShep was being consistently neutral stoic.


FemShep do have several lines about romanced Kaidan with Joker. Mostly neutral or just anger.

I don't play modded BroShep/Kaidan romance so I can't say anything much.

The photo from Kaidan in ME1 was layin down. But I did not want that Shepard gets into another romance. How I can change it?

ME2 means to put my Shepard (in Romance with Kaidan in ME1) in a Romance with Jack. But I did not want to do that. Shepard should be loyal to Kaidan no matter Horizon. In the dialog with Joker and Kelly he was not angry about Kaidan.
With Jack he has talked alot but said No, when Jack has asked Shepard if he wants a romance with her but came back to her and was still friendly.
Maybe I can clean up the Save game after Suicide Mission with the Savegame Editor before I import that savegame to ME3?

edit:
Good news: ME3 does not realized Shepard had a romance in ME2 and has imported Kaidan romance in ME1 and ME2

Not so good: I have not Arrivale DLC on Origin but I have not found in Gibbeds Editor  an option to make a check in ME2 plot for DLCs. How I can add to the save game the DLC decisions? Without destroying the Batarian portal the dealing makes  less sense that Shepard is arrested. And even after that event it makes no sense, except to have a reason to start on earth.

I also skip Arrival we well as Lair of the Shadow Broker and Omega. I like my storyline better without them.

Happy New Year everyone!

I would prefer that too I think. Those 3 are very boring, but I feel like my ocd makes me go through them each time.  Oddly enough I really like Project overlord though-but the driving parts suck.     Still, I have to save David.  

Arrival is one of the best dlc's there is. It has one of the best scenes in the trilogy featuring the conversation between Harbinger, ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL, and Shepard. It would have been a good opportunity to have A/K in the dlc.

Ah, that would make it easier. Layer came with my copy of ME2 sadly, and the others I got cause I had hoped they would be fun.  I don't regret trying them really, but after so many runs they have lost their charm. Unlike Kaidan, he just keeps getting hotter it seems like.   :amirite:

When does Kaidan say that? I don't remember it. I remember him say he would never doubt you again but he says that regardless of romance or not. And yeah, I feel like you have to take Javik on Thessia. Wish you could leave Liara behind though. 

It should have been part of the main game. Just like Javik should have been part of the main game in ME3. Both Arrival and Javik are pretty important. Its a shame ME3 barely acknowledges Arrival. You would think it would be a bigger deal. And yeah, I do it after the suicide mission also. I do like that the scene and some dialogue changes based on what has been done. Like Harbinger will show up after suicide mission and that 4 legged collector shows up if you do it before. Or Hackett will say something different in the same situation. Also, if Karen dies, she doesn't show up either. 

One thing I always love when I replay the trilogy is how well Shepard and Kaidan mesh in combat. Vanguard plus Sentinel makes a third squadmate unnecessary.
