SReaper allowing the choice of killing off Kaiden or Jenkins right of the bat would've been a really cool option that would've really helped set the tone of the game
Yeah, I was thinking about that while I was dicking around a bit in the game. It would be cool to see someone even try to implement a MOD of this sort, but that would likely require a lot of work.
I have a friend who would always save Ashley and now he always saves Kaidan, so you’re not alone. I think my nostalgia factors in when I go to save Ashley every time though.
Kaidan is better overall in my opinion. His personality is a lot nicer and at least he isn't ''racist'' towards our boys Wrex and Garrus. I remember he was my first ever romance option in a video game maybe that's also why i just cannot bring myself to let him die on Virmire. I never took Ashley with me and I tend to either avoid talking with her or skipping her dialogues (I've heard enough of her crap when i played the game as a child lol) and I still remember it.
"Clearly it wasn't a priority to fix this"... what? As a game developer myself, I can assure you that isn't a bug... Why would they program him not to take alien armor if you can never earn armor before he dies (without using cheats)? It would be absolutely silly and a waste of time to edit that, so it's neither a bug or a mistake. In programming in general, one should NEVER do anything that is pointless. And never program assuming people will eventually use cheats to explore things like this. It is an absolute waste of precious time. Undoubtedly, all playable species in Mass Effect use a base class that defines common things to all of them, and then each species has a class that derives from that and narrows down various species-specific things. And it just made sense to leave Jenkins using that unspecific base class for some very specific programming reason. Definitely not an oversight or mistake. Trust me.
If you infinitely wait near Jenkins and Dr. Chakwas, Saren succeeds in destroying Eden Prime along with Ashley, then he kills Liara and Fist's goons kill Tali, Saren finds the Conduit, Reapers unleash on the Galaxy and kill everyone you meet except, possibly, of Saren and Javik. And Grunt is never born. But at least you get to spend longer time with Jenkins and Nihlus.
Doesnt ashley have the same skill tree as jenkins? I think he's just a stand-in for ashley in all honesty. That being said, I remember trying so many things to try and save jenkins when I first played ME1, I was so sad when I found out you couldn't save him. It would have been really cool to see him develop from the complete rookie, to a hardened veteran throughout the series.
Kaiden is such an underrated character. He has a much better story arc than Ashley and isn’t nearly as annoying. Plus in 3 he is such a great character. Not hating on people who like Ash, I just personally dislike her character.
That’s totally fair. I think I just never found him particularly interesting. Whether that’s writing or just his performance, I don’t know. I am slowly working on a FemShep run where I keep Kaidan alive so maybe I’ll change my tune, idk.
I'm not a fan of Kaidan nor Ashley but I gotta say I still prefer Kaidan over Ashley. For Kaidan the only problem he had was the fact that Shepard joined Cerberus and he was just constantly worried for his students and family. He's also very dramatic and that's also why I'm not a fan of his 😅 Ashley on the other hand is real racist in the ME1 and I just can't stand it. I know that she changes but because of that you've got 2 annoying problems with Ash which is 1. She's gotta get over being racist 2. She's gotta get over Shepard being with Cerberus in ME2 On top of that it's double annoying for me because my favorite characters are Garrus, Thane and Mordin so yeah.
In ME1 he manages to be a lot more interesting, but honestly his content in 3 compared to Ashley is super lacking. Ashley pretty much gets a whole character development arc in 3, while Kaiden just kind of feels tacked on because he had to be there for those who didn't kill him. Will say though he's a more likeable, if a bit average character in ME1 compared to Ash who I found largely just annoying.
You know.. I hate that my favorite UA-camr Oxhorn called Kaiden boring… but he is … I hate saying that n I know he underrated But when it comes to the decision of him or Ashley… I hate that bih… but I pick her EVERYTIME….
Lol. 1 she is not annoying. 2 she has better character development throughout the series. Actually she has one of best developments throughout the trilogy. 3 If you mean Ash hating on people in the sense that she is xenophobic. well she isn't Even in the first game, she isn't a xenophobic at all
After hearing you dismiss the idea of a modder being able to create a mod that stimulates you playing as Garrus or some other companion, I can confirm you've never seen some of the big Fallout mods like The Frontier or Tale of Two Wastelands ool
Well I don’t begrudge you your “Kaiden slander” I just personally find him more interesting then Ashley, like yes they’re both relatively boring… but Ashley is… *just* a soldier with a few racist habits. Kaiden at least had *potential* to have interesting backstory, what with the V2 implants and whatnot. Do something in a sidequest or what not where other biotics get afflicted by something but he’s not because he’s using an “older model” Also gameplay wise in ME1 *i* prefer to be the solder gunning things down… so Ashley is redundant gameplay wise… But either way interesting video!
Kaidens very annoyingly boring. I like Ashley anyway. Her story arc is much more intriguing. She's better in combat anyway so why not keep her around? Not to mention her acting doesn't basically put you to sleep. She's the obvious better choice overall.
Good Ole Jenkins. The Trask Ulgo of Mass Effect.
Now hurry up, we have to find Bastila! We have to make sure she makes it off the ship alive!
Jenkins Effect
Jenkins Effect Legendary Edition
It's LEEEEROOOY Jenkins!
He's practically a meme for charging in like Rambo and getting him and his whole crew killed.
Richard LEEROY JENKINS!!
Saving Corporal Jenkins. Coming soon to a theater near you.

Gonna romance Jenkins and then blow him up on Virmire? Coldblooded bro.
Uhm ... anybody else noticed that Shepard-Jenkins doesn't look like the actual Jenkins?
Well put together video, nice work.
Kaidan is not boring at all. I really like him. I'm not a huge fan of his voice actor but I really like the character.
I have come to the conclusion that I am the only Mass Effect fan who actually genuinely like Kaidan Alenko, and that’s okay.
I have a friend who would always save Ashley and now he always saves Kaidan, so you’re not alone. I think my nostalgia factors in when I go to save Ashley every time though.
You are not the only one. I have only saved Ashley once and regretted it. Kaidan is such a good character.

@@kalimaxineNot at all. Kaiden is cool, plus I'd rather have another adept than soldier aboard.
He went out just like his daddy, Leeroy.

It literally is. New game+ exists.
@@TightSweaters4 lol wut?
The answer is YES if you happen to be in the first of April.
How about Pressley survives?

If you just never play the game, nothing bad will happen. A win is a win am I right?

btw what is your mod for inventory?I like how it looks
Itching for some real action.

I think I more think it's likely absurdly difficult and too gargantuan for one person, but stranger things have happened.
i would take jenkins over ashley and kaiden
Well I don’t begrudge you your “Kaiden slander”
I just personally find him more interesting then Ashley, like yes they’re both relatively boring… but Ashley is… *just* a soldier with a few racist habits. Kaiden at least had *potential* to have interesting backstory, what with the V2 implants and whatnot.

But either way interesting video!
GD, a 13 minute video to just do 20 seconds of real content that matter.
no...
saved you nearly 13 minutes
pointless video
Damn, you foiled my plan to zap 13minutes from every man, woman and child on the planet! I can’t believe this!
You weren’t honestly expecting another answer were you? He makes it pretty clear from the beginning too that he always dies.
you missed the point
