Mass Effect Ashley or Kaiden

[coltonte3]

When you save Kaiden, you don't have to carry him out like a pussy!

[GrandMasterKybok]

Kaiden = too young to die. ashley on the other hand...

[Brinkalator]

@GrandMasterKybok

Kaidan is older than Ashley.

[elhephny]

kaidan dies noooooooooooooooooooo

[DesecratedReaper]

i killed kaiden playing as a female shepherd, Ashley is too good to die. Kaiden put me off when he started getting all sentimental on me.

[reborn2PwN]

I tried saving Ashley but as a vanguard it was very hard so I just saved Kaiden even though his worthless

[soraspork]

I REQUEST THE HIGHEST OF FIVES AND FUCK ASHELY!

[mugenrider754]

i saved Kaidan. even i played as Male Shepard. i dont want alien racist on my board exept pressly. i miss that guy.

[mujiha]

I want my fucking hi 5

[esteban32323]

I chose Ashley... to die as the last Space Nazi. Bros Before Hoes, Kaidan.

[electrolive0]

I save Kaidan...

[TallandAsian89]

I have a rule always to rescue beautiful women in distress, so sorry Kaidan you lack being a girl so you're on your own lol

[sujabals]

I saved Kaiden. Bros before hoes

[CptNickk]

@sujabals Now I fell like a jerk..

[Thongger]

if there actually had been a timer on that nuke, it would have gone off in the time it took me to decide who to save lol

[koole0tris]

omg Wrex is dead at my game. i shot him at the salarian camp xd

well i didn't but ashley did...

[gravityhammer25]

@koole0tris

Wrex survives if you do things right. Charm, Intimidate or just do his mission.

[ncorva]

@koole0tris Yeah, in mine too. I was super pissed when she did that.I was trying to reason with wrex but i didn't have enough charmto convince him, and i think I hadn't done his loyalty mission.

[NdustrialN8]

I always get sad when Shepard is ike we're comming to get you too Kaiden, & he's all like, "I think we both know that's not going to happen..." idk why, but sad

[mamobster1500]

LOL 4:43 to 4:53.. Shephards face look funny

[Peelzkeelz]

Save the one with the boobies and the vagina... Fuck that "bros before hoes" bullshit! Your bro would fuck your hoe if he ever had the chance... Like they say boys will be boys!

[DarthRaye]

Kaidan: Belay that. We can handle ourselves. Go back and get Williams.

Ashley: Belay that 'belay that'!

Shepard: ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)

[SUPERNOVA0881]

Shepard: Get in the elevator! Hurry!

*elevator music playing*

Shepard: =.= We all gonna die...

[SpikeMugen]

@Godisableedingfaggot

Me too. Keep the angry merc, keep the extra set of tits, but still get to bang that blue exotic alien pussy.

[axelnemeth]

The only thing I really,REALLY hate on this world is Dilemmas.

Why?Why in the fucks name did the devs have to put a dilemma in a fucking game?Now I'm stuck because I can't decide which soldier to sacrifice.

Yes I MAD

[ChristiaanL14]

@axelnemeth it took me less than 10 seconds to choose

[JSwisha24]

Would've been able to save both if the damn elevator wasn't so slow.

[Godisableedingfaggot]

saved ashley, let wrex live, stayed faithful to liara lol >mfw ^_~

[QuyNgoToronto]

Save Ashley. Tell Kaiden to look on the bright side no more headaches from the L2 implants.

[Strelok10]

I left Ashley to die...not much of a gentlemen's act but the nuke was with Kaidan,i dint knew what would of happpened.And plus that,I am perfect in combat and i just need Tali and Garrus to kick some Geth ass

[Bergseten]

So after this is done, and youre back on Normandy, theres a song playing in the background. A pretty sad piano song. Anyone know the name of the song

/how to get it?

[Elementer117]

@Bergseten

You can look on Blue blue Laguna for it.

[Bergseten]

@Elementer117 Thanks. I found it. It is the Love Theme. And i found it in Blue Blue Laguna's archives :)

[Elementer117]

@Bergseten

Glad I could help.

[Stepo2905]

What is the name of the song?

[gravityhammer25]

Kaiden is boring dull character no emotion, but Ashley is a space racist bitch. I choose Ashley though just because i choose the pussy lol

[ARAPTOR7]

wow this is so on easy mode..

[shwonsh]

I only have Liara anf Ashley from the part 1. A few others from part 2 which means Garrus and Tali are dead.

[Peelzkeelz]

Kaidan alenko was very... Uninteresting.

[xoxoEmilyLoverxoxo]

NO don't let Kaidan die.! D;

[xHugoxN7]

ashley i never liked kaiden

[JonesyLedZeppelin]

wtf does everyone save ashley if they're male shep. I couldn't stand her. I just saved her for the paramour achievement, got it, reloaded and watched with a satisfied grin of glee as the bastion of Space Nazism known as Ashley Williams turned into a blazing sun of effervescent energy then died. Miranda ftw.

[PegasuZProductions]

Shepard: Well the one I choose is....

Bomb: Explosion in 1 minute

Shepard: I should go

[Shady2viewer]

Bro's before Ho's...

[JonesyLedZeppelin]

@Shady2viewer especially since you can get Miranda, or at least Liara, in the next game. I dont see why people insist on the interspecies relationships, so I don't romance non-humans, Ashley is a nazi so bye-bye on virmire, I don't find Jack attractive at all, Kelly has no personality, So who's left, oh yeah that black haired blue eyed femme fatale/ cold hard bitch I've been dreaming about since before birth. then voiced and modeled after one of my favorite actresses, with a sexy aussie accent

[SuperDazzleHD]

why cut it short?

[ElectromagNick]

Here's my solution:

Garrus, Wrex, you two head back to Ashley. Kaiden, I'm coming for you. Ashely, delay the bomb timer by 5 minutes. It's all we need to get all of us out of the hell-pit.

I get both my squadmates out and Sovereign get's fucked.

[RacialStereotype]

@ElectromagNick What if in that delayed five minutes, the bomb is disable by another team of geth? What if the bomb becomes damaged and dismanted? What if the geth purposely detonate the bomb while your on the ground and everyone dies, anyway? Those must have a been a few things that Ashely considered before activating the nuke. She had to make sure she completed this mission no matter what.

[ElectromagNick]

@RacialStereotype Okay, then I would have had her deactivate the nuke and we'd take it aboard the shuttle, reactivate it, and drop it from a high altitude so it would explode on impact and we'd escape the blast. I can curcumvent the choice IF I HAD THE OPTION!!!

[RacialStereotype]

@ElectromagNick That actually makes more sense, but if they could have done that, they would have, I'm sure. We all wish that we could have avoided this life-altering decision, but, unfortunately, a choice had to be made, and we have to live with it. Damn life. Damn it to hell.

[ElectromagNick]

@RacialStereotype You wanna know what would be a funny as hell twist in ME 3? The one you left behind somehow survived and showed up, kicking Reaper-ass near the end of the game. I don't see how they would survive, but Bioware might- no.  THeir not bringing them back.

[RacialStereotype]

@ElectromagNick That would be pretty epic, but somehow I don't think that would happen. Besides, I like my Ashley nice and dead. :D

[ArmoredWolf26]

Save Carth!

[destruction42k]

save kaiden on insane his bionic powers help a lot

[KRAUSER0130]

its KAIDAN NOT KAIDEN

[pokemonfreak921]

Gotta save Kaiden, gotta save Kaiden, gotta save Kai-

*Looks over in corner 1:48*

Oooooh, crate!

[RacialStereotype]

This was very difficult for me because during the game, I grew close to my crew. I listened to everything they had to say and became emotionally invested. I never expected that I would be forced to choose between the lives of my two closest squad mates. I nearly cried when this happened.

[rpsmith014]

@RacialStereotype Normally I would say that you got way too invested in a game, but that's fucking awesome!

[RacialStereotype]

@rpsmith014 It's Mass Effect. Very hard not to get invested, haha.

[rpsmith014]

@RacialStereotype I know I know. I was the same way, that's why I was saying Mass Effect was one of the exceptions.

[RacialStereotype]

This was the hardest decision that I ever made in my life. I felt sick afterward.

[darthjump]

man just played that mission 30 mins ago! first ashley killed my favourite krogan and then i saved her.....emotional game!

[tasken5]

i wanted to ask something since i'm so curious and all but i rlly dont know anything about mass effect 1 or 2 im so sorry if this is a dumb and stupid question but i have no idea!!, how do you actually import a save from mass effect 1 if its for xbox360 or pc only if you got mass effect 2 PS3, i mean how does the game (mass effect 2 for ps3) know that you had a romance with somebody if you cant import a save or can you ? can you even have an old romance with someone if you play it on the PS3??

[ShadowSnake753]

@tasken5 no, on ps3 (since there was no mass effect 1, you have an interactive comic essentially letting you make major choices from MS1. for example this decesion of who to save, or a romance with a character, or saving/killing the council. on 360 or PC you have to import a MS1 character from starting a new game

[tasken5]

@ShadowSnake753 ow i see thanks for explaining

[will3pr]

@tasken5: Mass Effect was originally for the Xbox 360 and PC but they later added the game to PS3. I don't think anyone is stupid enough to play Mass Effect 1 on Xbox 360 then buy Mass Effect 2 for the PS3 because the PS3 won't have your saved character from ME1. In ME 2 before you start a new game it asks you if you want to start a completely new game or import your ME 1 character for ME 2 you should have it saved already, and for doing this you get an extra bonus.

[PUHcee]

Bros before hoes..

[madmedic92]

I kinda have this feeling that whicheverone you choose to abandon becomes the new "saren" in ME3.

[drewsking12345678]

i saved kaiden ashley was a pain in the ass!

[masseffectfan18]

I saved Ash cuz I romanced her and plus all Kaiden did was complain and he got on my nerves

[Kat02543]

"I think we both know that's not going to happen, Commander." :(

[kphoenix96]

@Kat02543 and then the tragic sounding music plays :(

[CommanderDShepherd]

I wanted to let Kaidan most of all and I did, for relationship sake. I wished that I could have saved Ashley as well, she was my friend and and a great fighter :(

[Darkstorm1171]

Now when I did this choice my first time playing this game, Saren didn't show up, it was stuck when I killed the Geth. Why do you think that was?

[LadyLatias]

One of the hardest decisions I ever had to make in a game. I'm sorry, Ash.

[mrAZcardinal]

Kaidan > Ashley. Not a second thought. :P It still sucked though letting go of Ashley... :(

[xXLDeusXx]

@mrAZcardinal yeah.. if you let ashley behind her family's name is redemed a memorial is open for her and all.. if you let kaidan die you lose a friend and his legacy is slightly better tretament for L3 biotics..

[Sabohaque]

ME2 should've had an option like this.

[xXLDeusXx]

@Sabohaque it kinda has.. *SPOILER* in the end where you have the choice of going trough the omega relay to save the crew or wait and prepare more.. if you wait you loose about.. 10 or so crew members.. 10 or so ou of 27

[Sabohaque]

@xXLDeusXx I think they dropped the ball on that one. For one, waiting has never affected anything else, so to make that suddenly important just 'cuz makes it a gaping plot hole. You can't do shit like that in an interactive story. I did like that if you didn't fully upgrade your ship, certain crew-members would die, (I DIDN'T like that I had to spend a long ass time probing Uranus; I already have a damn job) but you could still succeed with no losses. That's contrary to ME's theme.

[13Marsminutes]

in my first playthrough I was a soldier. and I needed a biotic. so Kaidan survived. in my second playthrough Ashley shot Wrex... so I needed Kaidan. then finally I tried to get a game where Ashley survived. so I was a biotic. Ashley still shot Wrex. but I romanced Ashley so she survived...

[chadwickllewellyn]

i didn't like ashley i prefer liara so i killed the bitch

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[ElectromagNick]

My reaction when I had to choose: Wha- Shi- ha- FUCK!!!

My reaction when I chose Kaidan and realized I was romancing Ashley: Saren you ALLIE MOTHERFUCKING BIZNATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BioMatic2]

what is the point? both would be very ungratefull in horizon.....couldnt die both?

[mYepes95]

private comm to Ashley: "I'm sorry, ash, I had to make a choice"

xenophobic b*tch, check.

private comm to Kaidan: "I'm sorry, Kaidan, I had to make a choice."

boring, whiny b*tch, check.

Shep:"joker, pick garrus, wrex, and me up at my location."

Joker:"okay...?"

[Captainofbadasssquad]

Ashley; my Shepard was an alien trusting Paragon so opposites attract, right? Plus, Kaiden wasn't all that interesting.

[merksperk2]

Since I'm going to romance Tali in ME2, I'd save Kaidan. IMO he has the better abilities.

[gekkoguy911]

ok i liked this video, now, where's my high five?

[amk68sco]

no brainer,ashley williams killed my wrex i was furious at the bitch ,so she went up with the nuke.

[angbandsbane]

@Graywolfpictures10 That's what I was thinking. Barring it being different (this vid was exactly what I did) you don't see them die. Top of that, if the Reapers indoctrinated them, it'd be a much more personal and compelling boss in ME3, especially if they were resurrected (themeatic link to Shepperd).

[vakasim]

Ashley's helmet is a robotech pilot alike

[GameRock123]

I left her.. i got so sad when i saw she die.. I thought she wud get on the normandy :(

[lordevarts]

camel toe...

[officerbawden17]

@Graywolfpictures10 No only one of them will appear in ME3 depending on who you choose in the first one.

[infernal992]

I've never saved Kaiden or Ashley at AA Tower. Anyone ever done that?

[Stelios7xXx]

later he said it was the most difficult decision he ever took!

ppfff i obvious chose ashley without even think of it, kaiden doesn't have boobs!!!

[PrinceForte]

That damn stinger at 2:54, after you say your last words to the squad member you leave behind, doesn't help when you're trying not to feel like a total failure as a commanding officer....

[Juigijaredjb]

I pick Kaidan, Ashley's just a bitch and looks like a dude.

[Kroche929]

You need to put whoever you save with the salarian team. That way, you save the team along with Captain Kirahee along with Kaidan or Ashley.

[downtownford]

I hated Carth from Kotor, so letting Kaiden die (same voice actor) was no hard decision to make. Besides, since ME1 was more of a true RPG, u could upgrade ur weapons to point where biotics were not needed, so Kaiden wasnt really used throughout the game anyway

[GibbsGibberstein]

*flips coin*

[Triangularthing]

@GibbsGibberstein *Renegade interupt* Flips double sided coin.

[delta5297]

The salarians end up at the AA tower no matter what right? So does that mean that if you go back to save the person at the bomb site the salarians all die? Or do they magically show up on the Normandy anyway?

[rcr1025]

Kaiden was too god damn awkward to talk to so I ended up letting him die

[SinnerBeta]

It's nice to see some other people that don't waste their time on hate and actually liked both of them.

[DogPersonThing1]

*diolouge box comes up*

Shepard: Aw, crap... uh... *flips coin*

Ashley: R U FLIPPING A COIN!?!?

Shepard: Uh... no?

[DreamStepper]

Ashley's xenophobia, and bitchiness for the most part is what put her in the grave.

[respectthekick07]

The one you didn't save on this game, is that the one Shepard reunites with on Mass Effect 2 or is it the one that you did save that Shepard reunites with on Mass Effect 2? I haven't played Mass Effect 2 yet, so I'd like a heads up here.

[RustlessPotato]

@respectthekick07 If you didn't save him he or she dies? How could you reunite with him or her then? Use your brain

[spartan16197]

i want me high five now tell me where you live

[spartan16197]

ashley hated my blue girlfriend so she dies

[Kraethas]

Why would any one save the space racist? And blue ass is infinitely better than hers

[SgtTarkov]

Well, this decision is like the most difficult one in both games so far. When I was doing a "perfect" Walkthrough, with preparing the story for ME3 like I'd haven done it,

I wanted ONE romance through all 3 games. So I had to choose between Ash and Liara. I choose Ash because she's human, aggressive and kinda sexy. Even after the Shadow Broker DLC, I didn't regret choosing Ash. BUT Kaidan is an awesome Dude! But he had to die, so that I can sex Ash in ME3 until she's blue XD

[Numdenu]

@SgtTarkov Until she's blue? You turned Ashley into an asari?

/lamejoke

[Harvey3Face]

I saved Kaidan, partly because Ashley shot Wrex and I really wanted to help him out, but mostly because it seems like what Ashley wanted the most.

Was incredibly hard and painful to loose two comrades in one mission, especially since you had to choose one of them to die also.

[KaMiK2205]

@Harvey3Face

You CAN save Wrex you know...Either charm the pants off him or scare the crap out of him.

[Harvey3Face]

@KaMiK2205

Yeah I know I wanted to but I didn't have enough charm or intimidate points to be able to save him, which was also another tipping point for my decision towards letting Ashley die

[supervegito2277]

HAHAHA massacre then a geth interferes, out of my way, casual one shot hit XDXDXD

[MilkandPizzaRolls]

Whatever floats your boat. I would've killed Ashley in a heartbeat.

[rocksock00444]

i feel bad leaving either one behind ash was my romance but kaiden was like my best friend either him or tali

[iwillfollow24]

biowareee why make good games but bad choices whyyyy

[MisterBlue56]

Ashley: It should have been me.

Shepard: Don't sweat it, he was only an L2.

[HeyItsJonaveil]

This is kinda harsh, but I nuked Ashely's ass cause she shot Wrex my bro.

[gadanda]

id have saved kaiden

[52wse]

Ashley's helmet reminds me of the ODST helmet from Halo lol

[Heartshapedbox81]

Why can't you save both? it's a frigin evil choice system

[mrkmtths99]

I was almost crying since I couldn't kill them both.

Dealing with their awesome stories was unbearable.

I played through twice to fulfill my desire.

[TinkerbellTheGreat]

Why can't Shep give Ash a sexy lift up.

We need more sexy time!!!!

[Ninefingers1010]

Ashley's.....Mila Kunis is hot. However, her voice acting was not up to par (wasn't horrible but was lacking). So Ashley dies every time I played. On the other hand Liz Sroka voice acting was spot on (Tali's voice). Or learn form Jennifer Hale! A pro! Did Shepard's female voice.................. Mila learn from these ladies.

[jimbobfreddiewilson1]

@Ninefingers1010 Ashley is voiced by Kimberly Brooks.....

[GuaranaClyde]

Too bad the SR1 didn't have a Kodiak shuttle to pick up the other squad member.

[TheLastTactician]

The only funny part in this extremely sad mission is the awkward piggy back that you give to whoever you save. I was clsoe to tears when I left Williams behind, but to see my Female Shepard throw Kaidan over her shoulder to carry him out...well, it was almost worth it. xD

[TheUnforgiven1909]

I fucking let Ash down... Now I see I fucked up. Badly. 

[wileywilson]

Great to see this vid, thanks for the upload. I think staying at the AA tower has a better cinematic however.

[stream0fspin]

no question who's ass u save... save the ass you might get

[Kiwirifficus]

@stream0fspin bros before hoes, that is all.

[MrUnclepeanuts]

@Kiwirifficus not if its an Generic Bro.

[Kiwirifficus]

@MrUnclepeanuts  I don't think anyone ever really wins either way in this situation. I dislike them both about equally.

[GSSAGE7]

@stream0fspin But that logic doesn't work if you're trying to bang Liara.

[NTom92]

@GSSAGE7 well that's where you either flip a coin or say eenie meenie miny mo...

[FALUKYOURMOM]

@stream0fspin you read my mind

[gkirk609]

CRITICAL MISSION FAILURE

[SKULLBUNNY911]

I bet they're going to make you choose between character deaths like this in mass effect 3.

[TheDoogleBoy]

One of the most epic moments in a fantastic game. When I was playing through this for the first time I didn't expect to make life-and-death character choices and this hit my by surprise.

Bioware are the best.

[maxpoo98]

would of you could send squad members to get kaiden and u get ashley and we all live THUMBS UP IF YOU WISH THIS WOULD HAPPEN IF THERES A SITUATION LIKE THIS IN MASS EFFECT 3

[firedevil33]

@maxpoo98 no the sr1 can pick one team up and 2 will live and 3 would die so one has to die

[xXS4MTH3H4MXx]

I chose Ashley to rape her

[xXS4MTH3H4MXx]

I saved ashley to rape her,

[str3ss88]

Ashley is best!

[larvinc]

One more pro next to Kaiden: In ME2 you will meet him and argue about the cerberus. I think Ashley would be more understanding about your point. Kaiden is more moral and letting him down is more acceptable to me then the girl who you used to bang.

[larvinc]

Ashley was just a soldier. Kaiden was an officer and a specialist + the bomb had to blown up by any mean.

[Tad30s]

A better question would be "Is it not possible to KILL them both!?". Sadly nope

[hellkaiser96]

I let ashley die on EVERY playthrough, she is such a bitch

[greshxxxx]

I let kaidan die because whenever i Talk to him i feel like hes a homo

[Gabsterssssss]

i was close to crying when i had to choose xD

[Kurzykowsko]

@Gabsterssssss Tell me about it, I actually did.

[vxSMOKEYxv]

@Gabsterssssss

same here, i spent 15 minutes trying to choose lol

i was only 17 a few days after it got released. (i requested it for my birthday present) an xbox live firend recommeneded it. said to me to be ready, you will shed a tear. LOL

i did ROFL

[supervegito2277]

@Gabsterssssss indeed its one of the things that makes this game great.

The deciscion in bring down the sky is harder imo

[HyperShadow89]

I always hated that someone had to die. But I always chose to leave Kaiden behind

[RudiMedia]

That was one badass nuke!

Give Shepard a thousand of these and the reapers will no longer be a problem ^^

[411sydog]

Good video

[BrI120000]

Free Wrex! out in theaters march 2011

[Zataku]

It just kills me the way he says "I think we both know that's not going to happen, Commander". Bioware is sadistic. Making us choose to save only one of two great characters.

[MizzNaaa]

@Zataku THEY ARE VERY SADISTIC!

of course...I always chose Kaidan...cause I freaking love him, but ash...she's awesome too :'( AHH *sigh* this is difficult!

[Necromonger27]

I let Wrex live and romanced Liara. I let that ugly, annoying Ashley bitch die... jk :P I was a Paragon, so the romance between my stock Shepard and her didn't match for me. She died a hero. Then i was reunited with Staff "Commander" Alenko on Horizon in ME2.

[arturesteve]

Ashley is annoying as shit, I always let her die

[leebone98]

thats always the fact of leadership you have to choose between the mission and your troops.and you cant always get them all out i love games who manage to hammer this fact in

[PokeNerd116]

i followed the bro code here, and chose bro's b4 hoes (Kaiden)

[NalkCZ]

picked Ashley... because of romance plus never used Kaidan much

[Festabenkaj]

Dude wtf? bros before whoes! :O

[DarkBlueDragoon25]

I'll always pick Kaidan. ALWAYS! Kaidan and Wrex is my favorite teammates to take with me everywhere . X3 Ashley is ok. But I like Kaidan more. >:)

[Xghgjkl]

um...the voice actor for Kaiden sound's like Carth Onasi from KOTOR. Are they the same people?

[l33tstuff1]

@Xghgjkl

At times Alan Wake reminded me of Kaidan's voice actor. I don't know why.

[KevinLuhrs]

@Xghgjkl why yes yes they are

[nakianz]

Nooooooo, Kaiden. :( I wish you could save both.

[DaRioRider]

Saved wrex, those alien dudes, and ashley. Sorta wish I helped Kaiden, I feel soooooo guilty

[CMNeirfan147]

@DaRioRider

lol, i believe you shoulda saved Kaidan, Ashley's a little bitch when you see her in ME2, but Kaidan comes to terms with it.

[DaRioRider]

@CMNeirfan147 yeah, and because of this fact and guilt, I started a 2nd playthrough

[SumthinMaybe]

I didn't have enough Paragon or Renegade to save Wrex ;~;...Lucky

[tybash]

@SumthinMaybe

you just have to find his family armor and you wouldn't need to paragon/renegade him.
