User blog comment:Brianbreed/Why Do I Burn Kaiden?/@comment-70.143.86.227-20120110184342

I burned Kaiden the first few playthroughs myself, but then realized Ash is better for burning. Annoying head wiping aside, I found Kaiden is actually a nicer character then Ash. Ash's dialogues are complaining about her life, ragging on aliens, etc, whereas Kaiden actually has commentary on the sociopolitical environment of the game universe, and thoughts about why we're doing what we're doing.

If I need a warrior I bring Wrex, who is at least the fun 'proud warrior race' type. Ash is redundant in both gameplay and dialogue.
