Right now I'm hoping for Sara/Reyes to be a thing. If not, then Sara/Liam. Jaal doesn't trip my trigger as much.

Definitely not keeping the default name. So far I'm already feeling like the Ryder siblings are less of our character than even Shepard was, and Shepard was pretty defined. It's not worth it for the name to be spoken in one scene. I'm gonna go with Sara just to see how often it's used. I expect "Pathfinder" to be used more often than not but in friendship/romance scenes it would really cool to hear her name being said. Edit: Well, I suppose "Ryder" would be used as often as "Pathfinder". Maybe moreso.

I think my favorite part of the AI initiative videos is the musical theme they're using across the series. I've long been a proponent of keeping the synth in future ME soundtracks, and if this theme is any indication, they might just be doing that. It sounds very ME-appropriate while still feeling fresh. I love it! Thoughts? I get all goosebumpy when I hear it. I hope it's a strong indication of what we'll hear in game too. Yes please!

Shouldn't we allow a Canadian game to have a Canadian perspective? How big is the Chinese minority in Canada? How does Chinese art portray Canadian culture? Pretty big if you are in Toronto or Vancouver, maybe Calgary. Not so big elsewhere. The game is (probably) made with an American audience in mind though. The audience shouldn't be the point though. If you are going to make a game with characters representing the human race, represent ALL of it. The first game at least had a few East and South Asians.. They were dropped in later games for some reason. Never been an Asian preset though. I would love to see more east Asians, actually. I'd love for there to be a few presets and also characters/LI'so in-game, too. Makes sense that there would be a few in the Mass Effect universe unless there was some reason lore-wise why there aren't any.

I like both play styles, tactical and action. I'm not too fussed if a game has one or the other. I usually play on easy, though, because I tend to enjoy RP, exploration, and completion rather than challenging combat.

Really? Parts of their personality is preset? I don't remember seeing that. Where was that revealed? In this interview: www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/mass-effect-andromeda-interview-ces-2017/Q: Does player-character gender affect the interactions, dialogue, or story? Mike Gamble: Sort of. The story is the same, but the options and voiceover and personality that comes out is different between Scott and Sarah. The writers have gone through to make sure that the responses that Scott says and the responses that Sarah says are different, because they're two individual characters and they're not the same person. Ah, I see. Thanks for linking that. I wonder how much that effects your role play experience? And different in what way? Hmm...

That's another thing. Should it not be for the player to decide how their character felt about stuff like that? Or is this possibly just how the non-player version of the character felt... Bioware has said that each sibling will have parts of their personality preset even if you play as that one. Really? Parts of their personality is preset? I don't remember seeing that. Where was that revealed?

I was hoping we could choose whether we're the science geek or the diplomat nerd or whichever. I'm torn now. I'd like to play male, but also would love to have the archeologist background instead of a military one. *Humming Indiana Jones theme* I don't think Sara is an archeologist. As I read it, she served as military support for them. I'm thinking some kind of bodyguard or protective detail or something? Nothing that I've read says that she has a science background, only that she was thrilled to be serving the scientists.

I'm still waiting to see how exactly the whole situation gets handled in-game. I'm not going to assume the sky is falling because something is presented in a way that I don't like, but at the same time it doesn't really make a lot of sense for a character-driven RPG to lock your player character into one background. Perhaps it's because they don't feel like having to switch the backgrounds for the sibling you aren't playing? Thing is in the trilogy it was a story rpg element that people liked. Just strange that they are removing it. At least we can take this as a sign that our background is going to likely be mentioned a bit more since they don't have as much variation. I actually like that it's fixed, for that exact reason. I don't want EVERYTHING fixed, but where each sibling was assigned as a support role doesn't bother me too much. I presume I can still express how I felt about the experience, how I feel about my family, friends, LI's current mission, etc. To me, having a bit of a fixed background gives my character some depth and makes the role play experience a little bit more rich for me. Not to say that I don't like tabula rasa type RPG's, I'm a big Elder Scrolls fan too, but for a game that is character and story driven, I think having some sort of fixed background fits as a building block for how I want to RP.

Is it?? Totally didn't look like him to me but maybe you're right. LOL They seemed to fix the faces of the Ryder's to match their face models. Sara looks way different then we've seen her last and theres a jump from 1st cinematic Scott to 2nd cinematic Scott. It's cool that they're still fixing stuff, although I am a slightly steamed because now it means I have extra work to do to make my Ryder look like Jon Snow. But that was a gripe that some people had, so it's cool that Bioware is listening to that! Ooh, a Jon Snow Scott Ryder??? Brilliant idea! *pockets that for later*

I'm surprised by the number of votes the first option got, thought more people would be in for the drama! After Alistair (had to lend him out to a chick he really hates to impregnate her with a god baby so one of us doesn't die at the end only to get relegated to mistress status *deep breath*) and Anders (there goes the Chantry!... and that's after I look past the whole possessed by a demon thing) and Solas ( ) I'm all full up on drama, Bioware, thanks. Just give me a nice romance with an unambiguously happy ending, please. To be fair, they also gave us Zev, Fenris, and Cullen who are not nearly as complicated. It just so happens that my cannon romances are Alistair, Anders, and Cullen so I only got 1 non-dramatic ending of the three. Oh well. Hopefully I'll be 2/4 in DA4 for happy endings. My luck, probably not though. *sigh*

Just to sum up my thoughts... - Animations are still poor
- Lines are cheesy with an Avengers joke that isn't that funny 4 or 5 years after
- The human squadmates look like taken from Big Hero 6 (male) and House of Cards (female)
- Man I hope for good amount of customization because male Ryder looks like a budget Nathan Drake or worse
- Another hard-ass Krogan, now with jump-the-shark bone armor
- Generic sci-fi action with absolutely no attempt at capturing the romance of exploring uncharted territory
- new alien species is just space Khajit/Navi variation
- looks barely better than ME3
- BWWWAAAAAAAAAMMMM I AM ARCHONT SURRENDER OR BURN AAAAARGH LETS GIVE IT TO THEM. Michael goddamn Bay.
I just cannot contain my disappointment. I now fully expect Marvel movie tier McDonalds entertainment that won't even work for me as a typical BioWare harem anime dating sim since the characters are ugly. and here i was thinking marvel does good stuff. Yeah, I must be easily impressed and amused because non of the things listed bother me in the slightest.

It does because he's facing away at first but at the last second he turns sideways a bit and to me it looks more like a mohawk... Hmmm.... *watches trailer snippet for the 19th time* Could be...? I saw the spikes at first. Now I do see the afro/mohawk too... He's definitely got some kinda funky hairstyle though, so I still suspect it's him. Edit: Something like this, maybe? Yeah, exactly! I'm hoping it's got some cool colors, too. Like some of the pictures posted here way back in speculation.. .blue or blond or red or something... Would be awesome.

Guys, guys, GUYS!! (and fellow girls) As the camera zooms in you see PeeBee on the left at a work station, and on the right... a human dude with spiky hair. COULD IT BE!!?? Wait... I see more of an Afro than spiky hair. The shape of his hair looks rounded. It does because he's facing away at first but at the last second he turns sideways a bit and to me it looks more like a mohawk...
