I don't do it often, but I have refused to let the VS back on the Normandy after the coup. Best reaction is from Joker, I think.
If you don't talk to them at all while they're in the hospital, they will not return to the Normandy.

Ashley sure gets upset though if she does offer to come back and you turn her down. I don't think I've ever turned Kaidan down (when I play with him as VS, I'm doing so because I ultimately want his biotics on the team in ME3).
I have had circumstances where it was impossible to shoot her/him and circumstances where it was impossible not to shoot her/him. Lowering the weapons (i.e. using the interrupt) can tip the scale, but it's not the only thing that can. I've also had a situation when I have kept my weapons drawn (i.e. not used the interrupt) and still had them back down. It's a complicated reputation check that also takes in whether or not the VS was romanced, whether or not they were cheated upon... and how it all ultimately adds up is what matters.
Never said it was the only thing. Just that its important.

I dunno. Probably. My lover just died Dragon. :crying: I can't think about that now. No one else has even flirted with me. I guess I could do another romance if the start of it felt just right and it wasn't like...the very next time I played. In my fictional character grief, I kinda feel like saving the galaxy, all my comrades, but letting Shepherd die. I don't know if that can even be accomplished.
And regarding your question about Andromeda... Definitely not waiting anxiously. Maybe I'd play it a year from now.
Read your letters before deciding....on Kaiden, not Andromeda. Andromeda is going to be awesome.
Shepherd isn't romancing anyone else. And she needs to die saving the world. It's decided. *sigh* now how to accomplish this without spoilers.
Ah, so you did. Sorry for double post. Yes, that was my solution, but it is brighter than you'd expect with One of the endings. I absolutely love that love story. A dying man, a dead woman, both fulfilling their purpose, and reaching for the other shore, in another reality all together. It's perfect.
Bao-dur's relationship was similar, but there was never an option to acknowledge love, and Exile sacrifices herself for a wrong man in the subsequent fiction. Not to mention the appalling way the game glosses over the end of Bao's story.
Anders never lets Hawke to be doomed with him and never lets him close enough to have the unity of purpose...
Thane is a swan song of Bio's romances, and the last echo of Jade Empire. From the moment Thane died, ME3 became a wuxia story for me against it apocalyptic background

Good luck with that. Regardless of how it turns out, I think headcanon will serve you in regard to Shepard's fate. I get it, though. If I played in such a way that Kaidan ended up dead I think I'd care less about the fate of my own Shepard.

Although the urge to beat the game ASAP so I can kill Kai Leng quickly is within me...
Oh, just wait for it. I hate the way Kai Leng was written and implemented in the game (I liked him as a villain in Retribution, which was before the salarian curry, he just got butchered as character in the game). But despite the fact that I don't think BW did a great job on Leng, I'll give them one thing: I really wanted to kill this bastard at the end. I am usually not getting very emotional about fictional characters and even less so if it's anger. But with Kai Leng, they did manage to get me enraged to the point where I just wanted to see him dead. So I guess, despite all the issues and cheap shots, they managed that and kudos for doing it BioWare.
Nobody is gonna say anything about Thane. It's a horrendous oversight by Bio... :wtf: :sob:
And my poor space wizard. I'll say I was IMMENSELY relieved I didn't have to kill Kaidan. Don't care if I'm in the minority. Just NOPE to all of that. :smh: Terrible enough alone, even worse on top of losing Mordin and Thane.
That's super lame that they dropped the ball so hard on the Thane romance when, from what I can tell, it's the classiest straight Femshep option from start to finish.
I didn't say I WANTED to shoot Kaidan. I'm just saying that if he'd not have backed down, I would have been willing to. I mean, at that point, it would have been him shooting me so it would have been self defense (or, apparently, a squade mate would have done it which would have pissed me off majorly.)

That's what you need the Citadel DLC for!
I have that DLC, but isn't it just going to be a party where everyone else is having a blast and I'm grieving my dead lover all by myself? The game is telling me to go take shore leave, but I'm NOT ready for a party. What is the latest I can do this DLC so my Shepherd and I have time to grieve?

I didn't give Kaidan the whiskey, so I think his romance option is closed regardless based on the romance wiki. He's the ONLY one, outside of Garrus, who HASN'T flirted with me right after Thane died.

Dunno who Baodur is....
Never let's HAwke be doomed with him? You mean, have full co-responsiblity for the bomb? One time I sided Templars and made Anders help me kill the mages. it was my 2nd PT and I was still pretty mad at Anders haha In the end, I felt like we both left Kirkwall damned and seeking redemption for our murder sins.
Wuxia?

It's not about the party. There's plenty that goes on before the party anyway. No, it's something very Thane-specific that happens. This DLC actually has a lot of spending time and bonding with former and current squad mates outside of the party.

You can't start a new romance with Garrus in 3. Kaidan will message you about eating lunch together, and that's when you'll know if he's interested. Your other options are

And you can wait until before the end of the game to play it if you want to, phoray.
I'm lonely in my war room with the Primarch gone. I liked him standing around.
I have been using melee more. I put away the sniper rifle and pulled out the shotgun. I am RPing a semi suicidal angry Shepherd who wants to kill people in their face.
So, I should go do the Citadel thing now?

At the Citadel. Javik reminds me of Fenris. Too bad he's not romanceable.
Why do I keep getting ass shots of Miranda when I talk to her?
Zaeed? Ugh. Shoulda killed him.....Oh. He's not doing evil after all.
Gag. Why force the Femshep flirting with James? Why!
Oh my god! They tricked me into thinking Conrad Verner had died. I was actually slack jawed and beginning to tear up "I don't even feel anything", I was so suddenly shocked with this madness. I don't know if I should laugh or get ticked off.

Totally relevant and important info: if you have the Omega DLC and pick Aria's loyalty power, you can make Kai Leng suffer for as long as you want at some point.

It's really nothing story related, just an abuse of game mechanics.
I still did that for half an hour though.
You don't stab my Shep's buddy and live. You don't even stab my Shep's buddy and die relatively cleanly. Boy did I feel vindictive then.
