I wound up obsessively talking to my whole party out of fear I would miss something, and I liked her a whole lot more than I liked Liara. Liara seemed to just be there to be the blue alien chick to ask you what this thing called love is. Ashley was a soldier with a family and hobbies and religious beliefs that were out of step with her time but weren't villanised or held up as "the right way", and she wasn't even sexualised the way Miranda was, but still came off as, well, female, rather than just having her be the butch stereotype to serve as a counterpart to the space babes in miniskirts.

They kinda undid most of that by 3...

Though that's a good thing for Liara, because then she got an actual personality and shit.

I think Captain Kirk would have liked Liara a whole lot.

I didn't like her hot-headed tendencies

or her xenophobia

Yeah, she still feels like a person

But still

Kaiden is... a little more boring as a character, but

[up][up]That too, which is why I initially killed him. But I've heard he gets better by 3.

I dont like ashley at all, she may have depth, but she is too xenophobic.

Also I would have so liked a legion romance.

[up] He does, he becomes super adorkable, like male tali.

He does.

He's just soft-spoken.

He's kind of a quiet, brooding sort.

Okay maybe not brooding

but he's not what I'd call very chatty

Kaiden becomes pretty much your best friend by the third game.

His voice acting sells the whole "friend you had a falling out with" better than Ashley, since he comes off as way more remorseful.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

just prefers to keep to himself

not really an asshole, maybe just... shy?

That's his character.

I really like the conversation you have with Kaiden at rhe cafe, and he expresses worry that people find him dull because he's so focused and quiet.

I found him charming

tender-hearted

I played as fem-shep and transferred her character across all the games

and I stayed faithful to Kaiden the whole time

and he's a very tender sort of guy

He also becomes adorkable in 3, and has as many tech moments as Tali.

I also remember him at the Citadel DLC party.

If you choose a quiet, casual party, he's pretty comfortable and chatty, but if you go for a louder more energetic one he's off on the sidelines.

He doesn't have a powerful personality, but he does have a genuine one.

He's very introverted, I'll say that

But I wouldn't call him boring, now that i think about it

He's kinda dull in the first game

but by the third game, you can start to feel his guilt

he's not boisterous, just very understated

victor is just

such a dickhead

and refuses to take responsibility for his actions

it says something when i sympathize with a murderous monster more than a "remorseful" man

No I like to analyze a good character

But the character that I find the most memorable, and the character I remember the most intricacy from, is Mordin Solus

Anyone who doesn't like him is on my fucking list

because he's fucking awesome

he's EXTREMELY likable the moment you meet him

Dude I spent like four years or something psychoanalysing some guy from a seventeen year-old game. I'm in no place to judge.

I think that's what lent to his portrayal as just a gibbering lunatic in the movies. In her writings about the story, Shelley said that she intended for the Monster to be more sympathetic, so I think that even though people seem to trust and love Victor in canon, we as the readers are meant to severely question them, as well as question Victor.
