Anything they want to add would be appreciated I think it would help to have repeatable kiss/hug like in Inquisition. This goes for all the romances. Also, I noticed that even after the romance with Jaal is started, there is not much new to say unless you save the Allia talk for this, but that gets weird if you're already in the romance . . . Little things could make some really cool improvements. In DLC, a few extra scenes, someone mentioned Citadel type meetings, would go a long way as well. Just my two cents, though. I used to talk to everyone once to get all the convos done, and then Jaal came to me and asked me to stay longer and talk more and I had nothing to say. :sob: That's why I only ask companions ONE thing after finishing a major quest. Then they actually have things to say. 😀

I think I've heard that discussion, but not sure I interpreted it that way. I remember the Lexi/Peepee/Vetra discussion though, which mentions the same thing. This was Nomad banter. PeeBee agreed with Lexi at how similar they are, but she tried to convince Jaal they aren't because she wanted him to like her, but he was already turned off by that point once he learned how they mate. On my current playthrough the banter is actually going in order and their flirting stopped pretty early. Good. Fuck Peepee. Now I'll actually put the two together in the Nomad so Jaal can tell her how disgusting she is.

Where/when does Jaal say that having sari children is unappealing? After the Kett facility. PeeBee is upset he said Asari are like Kett and he apologizes for hurting her, and she tries to tell him Asari are more like Angara, but he points out they all end up looking like Asari. He doesn't like that. I think I've heard that discussion, but not sure I interpreted it that way. I remember the Lexi/Peepee/Vetra discussion though, which mentions the same thing.

I've seen this thrown out a lot but nothing indicates it's a result of the F/F option. I mean, Peebee's F/F scene still make it seem like there's a dick present so there's no reason they wouldn't have been as lazy with Vetra. There are no naked turian model in the game either (unlike angara, kett and even krogan) and they probably struggled to make a scene that they felt was "sexy" (because turians still have a weird anatomy) and scrapped the scene altogether. It's called a strap-on and I assume the future ones are just amazing. Except we all know the f/f Peepee scene is actually just a lazy cut and paste of the f/m sex scene. Also, let's be honest about why there's a decent amount of f/f sex scenes: because straight guys are role-playing lesbians.

I hate Peepee. She acts like a teenager, and given how asari age, she may as well be a teenager. Sid is more mature than Peepee, and she is an actual teenager. I find Peepee's romance repulsive because of this: feels like an adult getting creepy with a teen. Yeah PeeBee is Liara's age in ME1, so she's a teenager. And Jaal is 27, so that's why I never took the flirting between them seriously. I know Jaal said he finds himself looking back at PeeBee when she stares at him, but I think both were just curious, plus he seems lonely and no one else was showing interest in him. After learning of what the Kett do, Jaal dislikes the Asari and also isn't fond of having children all look like Asari and simply trolls her about mating. Where/when does Jaal say that having sari children is unappealing?

In my second run I flirted with Reyes, enough to get the "Kiss as distraction" prompt, which I declined because I was afraid I'd ruin my chances with Jaal. I like Reyes, but Jaal has my heart. Take pictures of your Ryder cosplay, Kestrel! I really want to cosplay her too, but I have no talent with armour making. I can sew alright, but I have no talent with crafting With Sara's appearance, I kind of get the impression they never intended to make Sara beautiful. At least, that's what I got out fo the CC. When I made my Sara, I made her cute, but not beautiful. In contrast to my Trevelyan, who I deliberately made traditionally beautiful (soft features, large eyes, high cheekbones, ect). I think this fits because of the difference in age. Ryder being 22, and Quizzy I headcanon at being mid twenties. Come to think of it, I did the same with my Amell from Origins, and I headcanon her at being even younger than Ryder. Like, 18 or 19 or something. I actually had Jaal with me when I had a flirt option with Reyes in his office - but it seemed too too cruel to do that him It does seem like Bioware leaned on the Jaal romance side of things a bit, even with banter. Has anyone noticed that (it may be romance specific) that Jaal is sleeping in the car every time Peebee is there? Ryder even comments on it after the first few times. Hilariious by the way. She did come onto him a few times, so it's his way of shutting her down. Sorry Peebs, he's just not feeling it! Actually Jaal is interested in Peepee. He's just trolling her pretending to sleep. Both Jaal and Peepee have lines talking about whether they should try to see whether asari and angara can mate even if you're in a romance with Jaal (devs too lazy to fix). So Jaal comes off as a player even if it is not the dev's intent. One reason why I really appreciate Vetra's romance:

And I was just starting to like her Yeah I was a bit taken back by how she would care less if the Ark was lost forever. She didn't even want to callthe Asari her people and couldn't care less when Cora was trying to assure her they would be found. I expected her to maybe be at least a little concerned that so many lives were in danger. She only seems to care about Ryder and the Angara. I hate Peepee. She acts like a teenager, and given how asari age, she may as well be a teenager. Sid is more mature than Peepee, and she is an actual teenager. I find Peepee's romance repulsive because of this: feels like an adult getting creepy with a teen.

SJW? Bioware has always had liberal leanings while still catering to male players. ME2 was all about Miranda's ass. ME3 had Battletits. MEA has both Cora's ass AND Peepee's tits (which is great for you considering how many people complain that these characters' faces aren't pretty enough to look at).

Need some advice. I have played as a Vanguard and Sentinel and an Operative, but I'm not really enjoying them. Any suggestions? I want a challenge. They are too OP. Go pure soldier (no tech or biotics) and play on insanity. It can be done.

I still say the game is inconsistent with SAM'S abilities. When Ryder first encountered the archon on the way to Aya, archon takes control of navigation. SAM tells Ryder "*I* have almost regained control of the ship." On the first visit to Aya, without Ryder's scanner, SAM detects the energy levels in the angara, and analyzes the plants. Ryder cannot even use the scanner, bc the angara threaten Ryder with guns if he/she tries to use it.

I understand that BW says this is how SAM works, but then BW violated their own canon bc otherwise HOW DOES SAM KNOW THAT THE ARCHON PLANTED A DEVICE INSIDE RYDER's BODY? Ryder knows he/she got a shot, but a device? No, Ryder could not possibly know that on his/her own. Hence SAM tells Ryder their is a device inside his/her bloodstream, and he attempts to neutralize it. Also, "this is how SAM works" still doesn't explain how the archon maintains control of SAM when SAM is still on the Hyperion and the archon is inside the vault on Meridian. The archon just PLOT DEVICES a way to control SAM through the Ryder sibling? When did the archon become such a master of AI hacking when their species destroys AI instead of studying it? How would the archon know the first thing about hacking into AI? Also, I don't see this as arguing with you so much as I see it arguing with BW. I've never doubted the fantasy logic of BW games so much before, usually I can suspend my disbelief, but not in this case. I just literally told you. It's with the implant in Ryder's body. The thing that allows sam to enhance. Modify, turn off, and analyze ryder's body and links SAM to Ryder's sense is the implant. ONE WOULD BE SAFE ASSUME IT CAN BE USED TO SENSE WHAT'S GOING ON IN RYDER's BODY. Hell, it literally shows that it do3s.time and time agein. But then that means that SAM's senses are not limited to Ryder's because SAM can see what is going on inside Ryder's body via the implant. If that's the case, I still question how the archon could have learned so much about SAM. SAM knew the archon planted that device in Ryder. I assume SAM neutralized it, after stopping Ryder's heart. The archon then learned everything about SAM through Ryder's memory flashes? How does one even "see" another person's memory flashes?

Agreed. You want equal representation? Get the Donald Trumps of the world to care, but they won't bc they're Donald Trumps. Please stay away from metaphors. I know metaphors, I have the best metaphors.

I still simply think it's BW bullshit bc SAM can detect the archon's device or whatever in Ryder's bloodstream. Ryder obviously can't notice the device, but SAM does, so SAM's detection is not limited to Ryder's senses. Also, why can't SAM shut off his connection to the Ryder sibling to prevent the Archon from using the sibling? Or he could kill the sibling (just saying good of the universe and all). How did the Archon gain such intimate knowledge of SAM? Did he take advantage of the other SAM on the salarian ark? Wouldn't we have known he tampered with it? Also, how is the archon able to use the remnant tech so well without any practice? He can use it better than Ryder can despite his own ignorance--proven by his own inabilty to get it working and collecting the equivalent of remtech junk on his shop. Honestly, I really hated the last part of the main quest bc BW doesn't do a good enough job making the archon's scheme all that plausible. That and the archon was boring as shit, evil for evil's sake, predictable snooze fest. The Archon "shackled" SAM. For all its personality, SAM is an AI; and shackled AIs have no choice but to obey directives. Of course SAM has sensors. It has ridiculously good perception through Ryder's hardsuit and omnitool, and likely some camera access in SAM node. It has no defenses, though. Most people are freaked out by SAM. They reticently accept that the Pathfinders use SAM, but aren't particularly comfortable with it. There's no way they'd allow SAM access to hardware with which it could battle "intruders", fearing it would possibly turn them against AI personnel. Once Hyperion falls under kett control, SAM is relatively defenseless against the Archon's shackling. We have no idea just how intelligent Archon is, but he seems likely much smarter than Ryder. He's old, possibly very old, and thus pretty experienced. He has the genetic traits of who-knows-how-many species. His having the smarts to puzzle out Remnant tech isn't that shocking, to me. He's been studying this stuff for 80+ years. He has a grasp of how it works, but can't access it at all until seizing SAM. More importantly, we learn after the fact that he wasn't even controlling the tech during the fight. It just seemed that way to Ryder. He was completely overwhelmed by the connection to Meridian. His snooping awoke the damaged Architect and its bots, but he wasn't controlling them. I can't help him on the "being more interesting" front, since that's entirely subjective. The other issues, though, actually make sense once all provided data is considered. Well technically, he doesn't puzzle it out because he collected a bunch of remnant dog shit on his ship, per SAM's analysis. So BW's failure to convince me that their ARCHON PLOT DEVICE is plausible is a result of their failure to properly develop the archon's character? I mean, in the end, my opinion is that the archon is a petulant 2 y/o throwing a temper tantrum, "WAAAHHHH I will destroy you and all you care about!" How exactly does the archon's behavior in the final battle demonstrate any wisdom or intelligence? It doesn't: BW failed to establish that the archon is anything beyond a power hungry bad guy bad for bad's sake. So the archon has brains off screen? Very well. Damn, whoever wrote the archon's character needs to go back to writing school.

That doesn't really answer my questions. Yes, the archon uses sibling Ryder, but how for all the reasons asked in my previous post. And SAM is not limited to what Ryder feels; there's no way Ryder could know archon implanted a device inside, but SAM knew. Otherwise, how is SAM able to determine all the environmental changes in planets when we activate vaults? Ryder can't determine the temperature is now exactly 78.9 degrees. "Just because" archon does/can isn't good enough from BW. Basically it comes down to the fact that the game fails to demonstrate the archon even has the capability to accomplish what he does in the game. It's like the reasons he can are "alternative facts." 1. On SAM it's been stated over and over how sam does his thing. Ryder is a relay and his brain is connect to sam due to the implant. SAM uses Ryder's senses and implaint to connect to the world . THIS WHAT SAM LITERALLY TELL WHEN YOU ASK YOU THIS INFO. this is not me making bs up. This is what SAM and the plot says. And we know that SAM can sense what's going in Ryder's body because he tell you and we see it on every planet with any hazard. He ch he even turn off Ryder's heart and tells Ryder's what his bodies condition is. If it have to I will literally post video with his stating this and codex stating this. As I said before SAM is not Edi, he is limiter to Ryder, Ryder's senses and Ryder's implant for any sensory.While Edi's sensory is to the normandy and her robot body, SAM just has Ryder and ryder's implant. He can just shut down, that is done by a 3rd person and that would kill Ryder if he did it. In short, sam is comment to Ryder due to the implant and Ryder is a relay for sam. THEY ARE CODEPENDENT. I understand that BW says this is how SAM works, but then BW violated their own canon bc otherwise HOW DOES SAM KNOW THAT THE ARCHON PLANTED A DEVICE INSIDE RYDER's BODY? Ryder knows he/she got a shot, but a device? No, Ryder could not possibly know that on his/her own.

Also, "this is how SAM works" still doesn't explain how the archon maintains control of SAM when SAM is still on the Hyperion and the archon is inside the vault on Meridian. The archon just PLOT DEVICES a way to control SAM through the Ryder sibling? When did the archon become such a master of AI hacking when their species destroys AI instead of studying it? How would the archon know the first thing about hacking into AI? Also, I don't see this as arguing with you so much as I see it arguing with BW.

That and the archon was boring as shit, evil for evil's sake, predictable snooze fest. From the very start it stated the SAM's senses are ryder's. If Ryder feel it SAM does. If something in side Ryder's body then ofcousre SAm will know about it. SAM's sensors are in Ryder's body. SAM can only sense thing in proximity to ryder. And cutting it off would KILL Ryder. Just like how it almost did when the Archon did it. Also, The Archon did explain why he can use remnant tech many times over, they are using the other Twin as a relay. And it's not that he uses it better, he has more support to do so. The Archon commanded an architect and some mods. Ryder commanded an entire fleet with no SAm support. That doesn't really answer my questions. Yes, the archon uses sibling Ryder, but how for all the reasons asked in my previous post.

He just hacked him, shut him down and shackled him with his tech. Sam maybe a power full computer but his interface is limited to connections to people. That's it? SAM never noticed? It just seems a bit far fetched considering how all knowing SAM is. I mean SAM was able to fight off the virus from that hacker lady, which I imagine to be waaaaaay more sophisticated than the inexperienced archon, whose species hates AI.

The kett as a whole are interesting. The archon was a snooze fest. All he wanted in the end was power, and he was evil for evil's sake. *snore*

...SAM? I'm confused. Archon kidnapped Scott but then left the Hyperion for the Meridian vault. SAM was still on Hyperion. How was the Archon able to use Scott's implant to control SAM on the Hyperion to control remnant technology?
Any insight? The game doesn't go into much detail.

BW has established themselves as an inclusive company, and there's proof of that in their games. When a company produces LGBT content in their media, it attracts attention of LGBT people, and people who enjoy LGBT content. Thus the percentage of LGBT players can be higher than one would expect. Take a bar for example, not a gay bar, but a '' regular '' bar. They go out of their way to include LGBT people in their advertisement and events, and want that good gay money. Don't you think such a bar would attract more LGBT people than a '' regular '' bar that doesn't go out of their way to be '' inclusive? '' Thus while the bar isn't by any means a gay bar, the percentage of LGBT people going there is higher than you'd imagine. I'm not saying that LGBT gamers or gay men make up a high percentage of ME community, but I just thought that using that statistic is a bit too much and can be deceiving. I don't know what fantasy world you live in where regular straight bars are remotely welcoming of gay people and gay money. For the most part they've been incredibly hostile environments to gay people (which is why we had to form our own bars), and their practices are to basically exclude as many men as possible and pack it with women to create an environment in which a few wealthy men will pay for many women's drinks. Gay men comprise 4-5% of the population, and just like straight people only a fraction of that 4-5% even plays videogames, let alone RPG shooters. You are committing the same mistake by overestimating LGBT presence that led to people being shocked when Proposition 8 passed in California or the Florida Amendment 2 passed with 52% support of YOUNG people in South Miami, a supposedly gay mecca. We have never had the numbers to be politically powerful or financially relevant. Look at the pathetic showings in TV and movies. When we do get something, it's because elite straight people support it, be it the courts which stripped out DADT or the federal marriage bans or corporate leaders pushing for business policy changes. So it's just how it's going to work. We make a case and hope the straight guy/woman in charge is receptive to it next time. Threatening "you're not going to get my gay money" is a drop in the ocean. Gay people can't even fund LGBT content channel that isn't some shitty sister channel of MTV's running garbage reality shows and D-list TV actor shows with shoestring budgets. Agreed. You want equal representation? Get the Donald Trumps of the world to care, but they won't bc they're Donald Trumps.

BW's hard on for deserts is surpassed only by its obsession with cheese--did you find the weird space cheese in MEA yet? But BW's true biggest boner is for the asari, which we're reminded of at every turn: they're better than all the other races at everything, and if Peepee shat in a cup of coffee, and served it up for sale, it would be the new space craze: Peepee's Poopoo Brew.

I just completed my Vetra romance playthrough. I think Vetra is likely my second favorite romance despite the lack of content, which is probably my biggest complaint. I really like how Vetra's romance is centered on her character rather than her ass (as it is for Cora's romance), but even if there's no sex scene, the Vetra romance needs more content! Having played other romances, the lack of content is fairly noticeable. This Nomad moment alone makes Vetra the best I fucking hate asari. My happy couple:

That'd be neat! Speaking of writers, I feel like we should send Lukas Kristjanson a fruit basket or something. Kaidan, Jacob, Liam, Carver and Sera? This guy does not write popular characters. I wonder if you get used to the hate and just brush it off or if it gets to you in cases like these. He did write Joker and Grunt, as well as a few good quests... Oh wow. Hated Jacob. Mostly meh: Carver, Sera (even though her romance was 2nd best in my opinion), Joker, Grunt (kind of just a Wrex clone), and yeah even Kaiden is meh compared to the greats like Mordin.
