There are slowly some Ryder/Reyes fanfic appearing. I prefer Scott myself lol, but there are some Sara ones. The one thing I love about fanfic, if it's missed in the game you can read it fic wise. If it doesn't you can write it yourself. Don't get me wrong there are some awful stories, but there are some totally amazing ones. Andromeda stories are still fairly new a building up. One of the first things I think about when a new Bioware game comes out is how much amazing fanfic I will be reading. Fanfic is life.

I'm glad they left some things open and I look forward to DLC's and sequels. The in-game story was wrapped up well enough to my satisfaction that I don't feel like I've been deprived of anything or sold short.
Das just me tho.

I feel like Gil's baby arc would have been much better off if Jill just said, "hey, if you decide you want kids, I'll volunteer to have yours. We're best friends after all." and then Gil deciding whether or not he wanted to take her up on her offer. Seems much better than approaching it as his "responsibility" to the Initiative. I get that the Initiative will be trying to motivate people to start having kids ASAP but Bioware could have approached that topic outside of your LI's. Scientifically, 20,000 is plenty of people to ensure the continuation of the human race so that narrative really didn't need that sense of urgency.

Made a new Ryder to romance Jaal. I'm playing her much more perky and optimistic than my first Sara. She's got a bit more of a baby face than I was hoping for originally but I'm starting to get used to it and I think it fits how young she is. Link to ME Archives

No you cannot physically knock them down. Taking out the main kett base does shut them down, though. Seems like a waste to me; given that there should be some method of re-purposing them to power Prodromos and other initiative outposts in the area. Really? I took out the base but those towers are still going strong. I must have missed the kill switch somewhere...

Yeah, it's dumb. If the Initiative was smart they would have enlisted lawyers and judges of some kind to help in building the new society, wouldn't you think? Maybe those folks were still in stasis.

The only thing I really dislike about sam is the constant "temperture decrese" and all those things. Ditto. I otherwise really like Sam. I just need a way to suppress the temp and mining constant interrupts. It already tells me these things on screen so I really don't need his commentary as well.

I'm torn. On the one hand, I love my Ryder and I'd like to see her on many more adventures. Also I'd like to see her relationships deepen (platonic and romantic).
On the other hand, I very much enjoy the DA style of a new protagonist each game and I'm kind of excited to see what they'd come up with for all new characters.

Eyyy, do any of you guys read fic out here? I have something I want to ask people's opinions on regarding protagonists, and you guys seem very open minded. I read quite a bit of fanfiction but I'm pretty particular on type and pairing.

Eeehhh... There was that whole bit where his dad wanted to do a blood magic ritual to make him straight so that'd have to change to make his story arc make sense for a female romance. It would have outraged him just as much if his father reached for blood magic as a quick fix for him wanting to simply avoid the arranged marriage in the name perfect breeding: "is that all that bother you son? I thought you were more grown up than that. But if you prefer to be a fool, there is a simple spell that will bind you to the appropriate girl for a few years! Elementary!" (Snaps his fingers). It is what outrages Dorian among other things - his father who taught him to shun blood magic, immediately turning to it as a quick fix for his stubbornness. Dorian also voices derision towards his parents' union while separately, he talks about each parent with some fondness. In other words, there is far more social commentary in his protest than anything sensual or romantic. He also chooses the political cause over romantic love in the end. Being a gay is a facet of his personality, but not at the heart of it. What he desires in essence is a freedom to lead private life as he pleases. He is not Dorian Grey's namesake by mere chance. You're not wrong. That's pretty much exactly how it would have to change for it to work with a female PC. In fact, I can't think of any Bioware character, gay or straight, that couldn't be tweaked to be bi if they really wanted. Question is, should they?

There's some turian woman on Elaaden that you can ask about Reyes and she asks if you know him. And if you've romanced him Ryder says '...do I ever" and she says 'I'll pretend I didn't get the hint behind that one." Yeah, I was hoping to encounter more of that sort of thing traveling around but noooope. Missed opportunities abound.

She may have a bit of a crush on him but I think he's just too old for that. I'd rather see Lexi hook up with the Ryders or someone else she meets. Maybe even that other doc who was looking after your sibling on the Hyperion (forgot his name).

That was some great banter. Keep them coming! That banter is really good, I love them all! Yeah, that was really in character I think Peebee, Vetra and Drack would get along really well with him.. Cora, Liam and Jaal might not be too impressed. That was great! I read it with Nicholas Boulton's voice in mind too. Good stuff Aww, thanks everyone! I'm glad you liked it! And yes, I think Reyes would definitely prefer hanging out with Peebee, Vetra, and Drack. One more for Vetra and Reyes: Vetra: One of your agents didn't show for a deal last week. It was out in Drauliir, he was supposed to be getting me those custom minifacture tools? Reyes: Ah. Yes. That. Vetra: Let me guess--I'm not gonna like this. Reyes: I think my agent likes it less than you do. Have you heard of tavum, that angaran stimulant? Vetra: Yeah... Reyes: He tried mixing it with some...home-made liquor. Vetra: The day before a job?! Reyes: Three days, actually. Vetra: Well, shit. Reyes: Literally. I decided the side effects were punishment enough. Sorry for the inconvenience. I'll have your goods delivered to the Tempest the next time you're in Kadara Port. Vetra: Thanks, Reyes. In the future, if your guys want to get hammered, tell them to call me instead brewing something in the bathtub.
You have a knack for banter! Well done.

Well, in DA2 was everyone bi. And it was so damn boring! I understand that there is a lack of gay romances for both genders. And I am sure it will gets better (you can see the slow improvement in every BW game). I hope for it, for you, guys. But that is still no reason to change hetero in bi Didn't want to offend anyone. If I did I apologize I thought DA2 was the best in romantic department. Create your character, then you have plenty of choices and can actually fall in love as you go, spontaneously, without the replays when you find out that you did not make the match. Yes, DA2 is the only game they had it in, and I am so sad to see gates coming back up. I'll never stop missing how natural and organic DA2 was. I really don't like it when I want to do something in the game, and the game goes: "oh, noes! OMG, this is totally WRONG!" Personally, I want Reyes romance expanded via telecalls, and a couple of visit to Kadara after important missions. For what it's worth, Dorian's story is not so much about sexuality, it is first and foremost about him rejecting the society's control over his personal life. He does not carrry a torch for any particular man when he walks out on his father trying to force him into blood magic ritual to make him straight. His liaisons were flings. In the end, he also refuses to settle into permanent union with Inquisitor whom he appears to love. His story would change very little if he was also attracted to females. He'd still not be the one for an arranged marriage and breeding protocol. He still won't marry the PC. Eeehhh... There was that whole bit where his dad wanted to do a blood magic ritual to make him straight so that'd have to change to make his story arc make sense for a female romance.

Ooh, you got more emails? From whom? I had one from Akksul I never got before when I played post-game. He felt bad for what he did to Jaal and said he might not ever like aliens, but he would try. And he sent an inspiring quote to Sara. Ah, I got that one too but I was still playing my first game so I didn't know it was an addition.

I'm gonna bet this means we're getting more emails from Reyes and maybe Gil, too. I hope that's the case. I mean, I'll always want more but any extra content will make me super happy. I think I got more emails after that last patch and they also updated your crew's feelings about you in the codex entries. Ooh, you got more emails? From whom?

Considering how excited Gil is to be a Dad, I don't see that they'd push a "negligent gay dad" narrative. Wouldn't make sense for his character (is that even a thing?). I think that Gil will co-parent with Jill and whomever he's with romantically. Whether that's your Rybro or some other guy.

Adding more Reyes content would be logical, but a few days ago Tom mentioned the improved gay romances for Scott, saying he had no idea what they planned and he was not returning to the studio, so it's not likely he's recording new stuff. I'm gonna bet this means we're getting more emails from Reyes and maybe Gil, too. I hope that's the case. I mean, I'll always want more but any extra content will make me super happy.

Looks like a crack to me. Figure it's supposed to signal that the air on the planet is really toxic. Only a tiny sliver would have seeped through the crack and it still made it hard to breathe. So when the huge chunk goes missing later, it's pretty much fatal. How can you call this a crack? It's easy to see where the mask is missing because the skin tone is different under the glass than it is where it's missing. Part of the left side is missing. I see a crack, not a huge chunk missing.

I hope thats not all. I'm getting ready to do my second playthrough with a Jaal romance and I was hoping for more "bodice ripper" rather than "teen romance". Jaal is mostly a teen romance, until you consummate. Then you get dirty talk! What I love about it, is both he and Sara are all awkward and youthful when dancing around their feelings, but once they finally confess and make love, they are so comfortable with each other and more mature afterward. They grew together. It's so natural! I dig it. I'm totally in love with Reyes right now but I'm really hoping Jaal will come in as a close second or tied. I love his character much more than I expected so I'm hoping his romance is up my alley.

Have not seen anything really girl-specific so far. It felt really very much about what kind of a person the Ryder is, rather than sensual appeal of a female specifically. I've done his loyalty mission. I don't know how much of a romance is left, but yeah, I did not pick up any gender-specific text from him. Oh it's got quite a bit. He acts like a shy little boy, taking the girl he likes to his room. He steals a kiss, then they lie down on the floor, holding hands and he keeps writing her love letters about her beauty and body, and twirls her in his arms. It's a very girly romance. I hope thats not all. I'm getting ready to do my second playthrough with a Jaal romance and I was hoping for more "bodice ripper" rather than "teen romance".

Personally, I think how he flirts exclusively with female NPCs is a better indication of his sexuality. He is from a culture where you're open with your feelings and where homosexual behavior is not frowned upon as far as we've seen so it's not like angara would hide an attraction. I don't see there being much to indicate that Jaal is or could be bisexual. Yes, I know that there are recorded lines between him and male Ryder but I believe I've heard that such lines have similarly been recorded in the past. I believe Sera is an example of such with a male Inquisitor? Personally, I think it's best for Bioware to do better in the next game and maybe add a NPC romance in the DLC but I would rather that Bioware not change a character's sexuality. I'm not fond of that happening to a character no matter their sexuality. This is rather unrelated but something I've been meaning to get off my chest for a while. I rather like how that story indicates how some aspects of Jaal's personality likely developed such as his insecurity. It's an example of why I would not like to see playersexuality be implemented since we wouldn't have stories like that. So true. Just playing the game changed my thoughts on the potential of him being bi. His romance is definitely meant for Sara, from the flirting based on their matching personalities and her background, to his love letters and mother's talk of children. Reyes though you could never convince me was anything but bi. There's signs. Elsariel Scott had one line. "I love you too, Jaal" and that was just in case. Cora had that too with Sara. BW does this for all characters, but there was no romance dialogue or scenes. Weird that they record just one line though. Like, why bother? If you decide to make a character bi after the fact then you'll have to get the VA to go back in and record more lines anyway. Right?

Personally, I think if they've already recorded the lines for a m/m Jaal romance, then that means they've considered him to be bisexual so why not add it? To me, the recorded lines are the best case for making him bi. Except it wasn't fully recorded nor were those lines implemented. There is nothing that I've seen that indicates that Jaal is anything but straight. There is more that indicates that he is straight as he exclusively flirts with female characters. Your argument could as easily be used as a case for why Sera should be made bisexual since she has recorded lines with a male Inquisitor. The reason for why these unused lines exist is, as far as I know, because the studio do not know what the writers intend ahead of time and so record lines with multiple genders. Apparently this is less expensive because it means they don't have to call voice actors back. Basically, it's simply a cost-saving measure and not an indication of a writer's previous plans in regards to a character. Ahhh, I didn't realize it wasn't fully recorded. For some reason I was under the impression that there was a full Scott romance already recorded but that they just didnt implement it due to timing or whatever. That... changes things then. I mean, it doesn't bother me if they do go make him bi - spread the love, I say - but there would be less incentive to do so if they haven't recorded lines for the romance. Meh.
