Mass Effect 3 Legendary Edition - complete Kaidan x male Shepard romance (Mshenko)

Shepard: imported character, vanguard, renegade but paragade to Kaidan
Complete Kaidan x MShep romance. Played on PS5 so no mods. Includes relevant cutscenes, scenes that give more info (mainly of Kaidan), Kaidan's comments on the Normandy and some comments during the mission/mission cutscenes.

[@bradleyberdecia9511]

every so often I come back and rewatch these videos of mass effect and the romance between shepard and kaidan cuz it has a special place in my heart 🥺

[@poppy7899]

I totally understand!

[@yaoishounen-aifreak]

And when do they fall in Love with each other?? 🥰

[@lynjs]

I do too. Kaidan is the logical choice male or female.

[@gobbies1002]

i remember people were upset about Bioware turning Kaiden bisexual. Thing is, this is pretty common in real life. Like people developing feelings for someone they've been close with or realizing their sexual orientation much later life.

[@poppy7899]

True. People get butthurt over the silliest things, and some folks don't get that bisexuality isn't some 50/50 thing. Would I have liked to romance Kaidan starting from the first game? Sure. But it actually works quite well this way too.

[@Jordan-mt8uu]

@@poppy7899 yea, I’m 100% for slow burn and mutual pining till you get everything you want at the end. Makes this romance seem so genuine that way.

[@TheDancerMacabre]

I'm a late blooming Bisexual man and this relationship means so much to me. That it's okay to come to terms and accept yourself at any age or circumstance.

[@MrTripleXXX]

He might have been bisexual all along. It's not like Kaiden openly talked about his sexuality in the first game. He just made some comments about Liara being nice to look at. That doesn't mean he's totally straight.

So I never romance anyone in 1 & 2 and just wait till I get to ME3 and can then romance Kaidan (I've romance someone in the first two games only once to unlock trophies).

Do you know what is so great about Mshep and Kaidan. It is not just hey let's just bang before go to another mission. But it takes lots of time to build their relationship and finally confess their sanity checked LOL. (It takes ME1, ME2 and then finally ME3 to confess their love) Can't wait for the next game of Mass Effect merge with Andromeda.

[@poppy7899]

Yeah. I've done a few trilogy playthroughs on a console so I had to wait till the 3rd game to be able to romance him. That feeling when you finally get to the cafe scene... Totally worth it!

[@divox9pqr]

Love the realism here. Shepherds’ facial injuries and scars are very well edited, and heal over the course of the movie.

[@kaitlyn5324]

I romanced Kaidan in my first play through with my FShep. I made a MShep to romance Tali, then I saw Kaidan again. Now I’m planning on romancing him.

[@EC-fj7xp]

New to this and I don't think this is the only site but I am so taken by Shepard and Kaidan's blossoming long term romance. They're so great together it breaks me that Shepard doesn't make through in the end. I felt for Joker too! A best bud to both of them! I believe in my movie heart Shepard is alive and maybe found in an induced coma by a another highly intelligent super race. Hard to believe this series drew me in! Especially these two characters. Nonetheless excellent! Love this ship with these two! Why don't the studio's do live action on these two! Way overdue especially when the public cries out for original content (some independent studio's too) these major studios with their recycled plots, situations and setting they need schooling damn there is a market for this universe. Poppy straight up KUDOS to you for this! AWESOME! You're doing the creator's work! LOL. I hope we see them reunite again.

[@poppy7899]

I can't wait till there's a certain romance mod for ME3 that adds a bit more content. That mod + Audemus' Happy Ending mod and then I can play the 3rd game again as Mshep and romance Kaidan. I'm so looking forward to it haha

[@steemdup]

Allegedly, BioWare is finally ready for pre-production on Mass Effect 4 (and making improvements to Dragon Age 4). I hope it's true, because we've waited so long to find out what happened to Shepard. And poor Kaiden, he believes he's lost Shepard, again. 💗😭

[@poppy7899]

I'm waiting for ME3 romance mod release so I can finish my Kaidan trilogy romance playthrough and finally get a happy ending for him as well :D As for the next game, I'll believe it when I see it. I do want it, of course, but all this mess Bioware has had with Dragon Age 4 doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

Enjoying the storyline of two men in a relationship…Is there a Mass Effect 4 that deals with their continuing bromance?

[@poppy7899]

No. Mass Effect trilogy is Shepard's story and Mass Effect Andromeda (the latest ME game) is completely different game with different galaxy, characters and story. There is a ME game in works but no one know what it's gonna be about and who is going to be the protagonist.

[@ak5659]

That's a disappointment. I just learned of Mass Effect today. ..... And I'm kind of hooked.... But just the m/m components. ;-) The older I get the less interest I have in anything straight.

[@KritoSkywaker]

When I played Mass Effect 3 for the first time with my old Paragon Male Shep, I also waited until I got Ashley on board and I did the Eden Prime mission with her. Also, I admire that you were not an entire jerk to Kaidan...I could summerize your Shepard as Renegon. Prefers Renegade, but makes Paragon decisions sometimes.

[@poppy7899]

I always do the Eden Prime mission with the Virmire survivor. It feels more special because that's where you did your first mission together. When I play as FemShep I usually have Ash alive so I have seen her there as well. And true, I don't go completely renegade. My ME3 Shep is as you said renegon. I'm the most renegade in ME2 and then I get those hilarious looking led eyes 😂

[@trevorsebastian1341]

I love the Kaidan mod for me1 that activates the dialogue for the romance that was removed for political reasons. It’s so good. One of the lines is male shep will flirt with kaidan saying “i think you need more physical training” and kaidan will say “finally, a reason to look forward to physical training!” Since kaidan is a non-combat specialist it makes sense. And when joker interrupts them right before they’re about to kiss lol

When I visited Kaiden he was awake, is there a different impact for romance if this happens?

[@poppy7899]

I always visit him three times (when he's unconscious, when he is awake but still in bed and when he's about to be released) but I *think* it doesn't matter if you don't visit him when he's unconscious. I think as long as you visit him when he's in bed and you give him that whisky bottle the romance path is still open.

Shepard dying at the end depends on the ending you pick and the number of war assets you have. In MELE Shepard survives only if they pick destroy and they have at least 7400 war assets before the Cerberus HQ mission.

I don't understand what happened in the end scenes?? Can someone explain? Please???🥲

[@poppy7899]

Shepard sent Kaidan away with the Normandy and then went and activated the crucible (and before he did that Anderson died). The crucible did its magic by destroying the reapers and anything with a reaper code. A lot of things got destroyed but Shepard survived and somehow Kaidan knew/sensed it and that's why he didn't place the nameplate on the wall. It's also possible to get an ending where Shepard doesn't survive and then the LI places the nameplate on the memory wall. I hope this helps!
