Yeah, I picked Ashley for the family reason mostly, she needs to be there for them and correct her family's name. She has more to live for and her time of death this early doesn't feel right. Kaidan always seemed like the guy who would choose to go on a suicide mission and that willing loner attitude to die helping others only makes him a better character. I do like Kaidan, even if he feels a bit distant sometimes but every other teammate has something to live for, pilgrimage, saving the Krogan, restoring family honour, I see Kaidan's sacrifice as his way of making their dreams possible, dying to save and help his friends and the galaxy.
