Honestly, it's not that extraordinary.
I mean it's very nice, obviously.
But nothing to write home, or The Lawd, about. |

I did glance at the kits and I noticed the butt-straps didn't appear to be present? So there's a little mystery. Liam, on the other hand, does appear to have fittings to attach them? Oh, come now, I'm trying to do some serious research here !!  |

Oh, come now, I'm trying to do some serious research here !! Yes, serious butt research, which is super serious and demands no laughing or snickering! My first mod wish is Cora's armor for Ryder. I'm a sexy biotic too! Quit shoving me into boob crushing solider gear. |

'Leg' detail, lol.

There's something about how Cora looks that makes me know I will get annoyed by her even more than by Miranda
I think it's the combination of the may I speak with the manager haircut and porn parody uniform.

Emphasis on women's butts, breasts and other areas in armours and outfits aren't exactly a novelty in Mass effect games. One way or another it's her personality that will determine her success. |

Thank you, her early 2000's mom hair is truly tragic. I wish she'd use something bulkier since she's a vanguard, but the ME was always about babes in space so... |

The reactions to the Cora and Liam kits on Bioware's facebook page are sad but predictable - ugly, feminazi, dead eyes, looks annoying, plastic faces... I suppose theres a bit of Karma there for shutting down the BSN and leaving social media as your only real means of interacting with fans.
I accept that the hairstyles etc won't be to everyone's taste but I'm happy that Bioware tried to make their characters look a bit distinctive. There are only so many conventionally attractive people you can put in video games before they all start to look a bit similar.

Honestly, the fat tissue over Miranda's gluteus maximus didn't even look natural.

I never met an early 2000's mum (excuse the Aussie spelling there) with an undercut:  Other people complaining about it are saying that it's too Miley Cyrus. Clearly it can't be both. If it's not your cup of tea then that's fine. For me it strikes a happy medium of being funky and different without being OTT. And we've seen nothing to suggest that you can't make her wear anything heavier in combat. I suspect that Bioware will try to accomodate people who want the sexy cat suits and people who want more conventional armour. |

I'm not an expert but I believe it started with that american reality mom of too many kids (if you google mom hair and the manager meme you'll see her. ah nevermind, I'll put imgs below); moms copied her look or maybe she was inspired by something that was already trending and it exploded. Whatever. It's just ugly, as are most variations of this hairstyle. Cora's not the same, but like I said all variation are ugly. |

Be forewarned, I'm gonna sound like a pig and probably an idiot here, and that's usually not me. But here goes...
I think any criticism Bioware has received over the facial design of these characters, is well warranted. I'm not talking about destructive criticism, but I gotta be honest, while I don't think Cora and PeeBee are ugly in the true sense of the word, they aren't exactly the fairest looking maidens either.
"Well why should that matter?" You might say.
Well...because it honestly feels a bit like whiplash to go from women who look like Liara, Miranda, Jack, ME1 Ashley, Traynor, and Samara, to....well what we have with Cora and Peebee. It's true that in real life, looks shouldn't take priority in dating. But this is suppose to be fantasy. Romance has always been one of the biggest selling points for Bioware games. So when you create average looking characters, don't be surprised when people are disappointed. It really doesn't help that female romance options in DA:I weren't winning any beauty pageants either, and the only three physically attractive women (Morrigan, Leliana and Harding) weren't romance options. While I liked Cassandra, Sera and Josie, they didn't exactly become the center of attention for fan art, the same way ME1-3's characters did.
It's true that Bioware had a lot of critical success with the faceless Tali, but that's really an exception to the rule since Tali was so wonderfully written and voice acted. Not to mention it helped that she had a curvy body with killer hips to go with that personality. But is lightning gonna strike twice?
My argument probably sounds like shit to a lot of you, and it's probably poorly worded too. But my main point is, they could've done a lot better. Even if we were to keep Cora's hairstyle and whatnot, they could've done a better job designing that face. There is something aesthetically off about it. I am going to romance one of them, and I look forward to learning more about them and getting to know their personality. But still....Liara had an amazing personality, but it really really helped that she also looked like a goddess. That's just me at least.
