I'll be honest with you. I was incredibly disappointed by Ryder's lack of dancing finesse in Andromeda. I'm just going to call it the Ryder Rustle, as it seems to be following in the footsteps of the Shepard Shuffle:
This could have been an opportunity for BioWare to truly take the dance skills of the Pathfinders to new heights never seen before. BioWare only had to look towards post-ME3's Shepard for inspiration:
Are you upset by this glaring oversight in Ryder's character and would you like to see a massive improvement in the Pathfinder's "pathfinding" going forward?

I thought it was pathetic to be honest and just thrown in there, to copy Shepard in ME2.

I thought it was pathetic to be honest and just thrown in there, to copy Shepard in ME2. That's exactly what it was. A copy/paste of moves we had already seen before. Five years. $40 million dollars. They can't even bother to incorporate halfway decent dance moves for Ryder? |

I don't see why they need to do this.. copying awful things from the previous games. |

I am happy with it. It is now a BioWare tradition which I am fine with. I also don't like your poll options. There is no it is fine the way it is.

My point was with all the time and effort, they could have done more than a lazy copy/paste, even if it was meant for "nostalgia." Give Ryder his own moves. BioWare didn't even try. I am happy with it. It is now a BioWare tradition which I am fine with. Is it really a "tradition" though? I only ever really found it funny in the Citadel DLC. |

It wasn't nostalgic. It was lame. No buildup, no purpose, just tossed in there. At least Shepard had a reason for it, and added in some levity to Samara's loyalty mission.

I always found it hilarious. Just because you know how to dance on the battlefield doesn't mean you know how to dance on the dance floor. It always made him more human in my eyes. |

I agree that it was lame and BioWare clearly put in no effort. I'm not even really sure why they even bothered if that was all they planned to do. |

Upset doesn't even cover a 10th of the emotional holocaust i felt when i saw a reused animation that was only there as a nod to fans of the OT in the epilogue. If Bioware doesn't patch this and make Ryder dance good enough to set my face on fire, i will break dance over to Edmonton and Can-Can kick Mac Walters in the balls.

I was just disappointed.
Which for me, is really bad. It takes a lot to disappoint me, especially in gaming.
Its not some terrible thing though.

I mean, yes. I was. I get that it's a cute nod to something people loved to bitch about/ adore ironically from the OT, to the point of memedom.
But goddamnit, cuteness aside, I WANTED my PC to tear up the dance-floor so I could live vicariously. But no. Sway back and forth, waggle arms, bleh.

I wonder how many people even noticed that you could dance there. That area isn't really chock full of stuff to really keep you there. The topside bar generally has more content.

No - I was fine with it as a nod to Shepard.
But then I always liked that Shepard was a terrible dancer. I liked that for all their prowess on the battlefield, they were awful at some everyday things. It helps round out ridiculously competent characters like that.
Even if I wasn't fine with it, dancing is pretty low priority on things I'd like to see changed.

I was disappointed. Had hoped Ryder would be a better dancer. It was amusing to see people make fun of Shepard for lack of dance skills but to continue with a new character in a new galaxy? Nah, not necessary. Maybe the twins will get some lessons between MEA1 and MEA2 from their LI.

Eh. It didn't bother me. Just a tip of the hat to the past games. It isn't as if I expected Ryder to drop some x and go nuts.
