The whole Kaidan = Carth thing is horribly overblown. Carth is, well, if you've played KOTOR2 you've heard a spot-on imitation of him. Kaidan has the problem of standing under a heating lamp but his "I have tragic issues in my past" scenario is "and I dealt with them, how are you today Commander?" instead of [Carth looks like he has something to say] in the middle of a combat zone.

also ME3 made a whole lot of people regret their choices in this game :laugh:

Was he massively cooler than Ashley in that game? Please elaborate.

He's kind of straight laced and boring, but his loyalty quest is one of the darker moments of the entire trilogy.

It's dark, but still not very interesting. Just, "here are some people that handled a difficult situation very poorly". No real ambiguity or grey areas.

Though I suppose those things are few and far between in this series.

Adepts may have been super powerful in ME1 (though I think soldiers and infiltrators were the most powerful, solely due to the insanity of the Immunity skill), but they were also super boring. Then again, I guess mostly everything was. The gameplay of Mass Effect 1 has not aged well.

It feels like a nice bit of self awareness and willingness to poke fun at their own premise some, basically.

I think you're giving them too much credit.

Heh heh, it's fun how everyone's mostly just looking forward to ME2. Myself included! drat, that was a fun game. Should play it again. drat you, Bioware, for releasing ME1 for PS3 and triggering my neuroses.

Hey I've got no problem skipping people until they have something interesting to say. Or leaving it out entirely, although a couple of people in the thread have mentioned they never played 1 so I thought I'd show off at least some of it.

Despite what I've said earlier, I think ME1 works well enough as a highlight reel of sorts. The story does have its high points.
