I've been dead for most of the day AND THEN BAM. THE CHUBBY PURPLE POTATO IS ON MY SCREEN, TALKING (although we can't hear him ;_; ) The animations look pretty good AND HE IS SO TALL AND BIG WTH. Aaaaaah, can't wait to hear him speak ;____; @beautesombre no, I am not in the new chat! Could you add me in this one too?

EVERYONE! It seems the list of achievements for the game has already been leaked! Apparently it's not complete, but it will be soon. Be careful on the web, some people have already started discussing them. We are using the chat for it, but it's good this was posted here for those who want to avoid spoilers! The chat has been dead for some hours though D:

I wonder if MEA will manage to recapture that ME1 feeling... I can't really put it into words but ME1 had something special about it that I felt was partially lost in the sequels. I mean, of course ME2 and 3 improved on a lot of things, but they felt... smaller to me. For example, no hub managed to recapture the feel of the ME1 Citadel. Maybe it was just the newness of the place and the alien races, or maybe it's just nostalgia. But I hope I get that feeling again with MEA. I was actually worried when they planned to introduce a new species. I thought ME had some amazing creations, so could these live up to that? So far the Angara fit right in to the ME universe and I'm loving it! I think one of the elements that most helped with those special vibes ME1 had was the music. That mix of 80's synth and techno was amazing and it really gave me the feeling to be in a space drama. ME2 and ME3 OST is great, but orchestra isn't the same as those peculiar melodies that immediately make you think "This is Mass Effect". The perfect example for this is "Vigil".

Thank you! Maybe they removed it for Europe? No idea ;_; AND OMG THOSE ANGARA LOOK SO CUTE. And Jaal is adorable, he looks like a chubby potato in the snow ( ´ ▽ ` )

I reckon/hope the geth will be in the game in some capacity. I don't expect the geth to be in the game and frankly don't want them to be. They're so intertwined with the plotpoints of the trilogy that I think they should just be left out. Almost every organic race was hostile to them when the AI was setting out for Andromeda as well, so I don't see how it would even make sense for them to be apart of the AI. Also, evening folks ! They already confirmed the geth are not coming back! Walters said that on Twitter iirc. The geth belong to the original trilogy.

Wait, where were the Quarian mentioned, in the briefing video? D: English is not my first language, so I probably missed it. Interesting to know that the Angara's planet is probably dextro-protein based though!

Oh Drack ; _ ; I think he and Jaal will be good friends, even if they sound very similar from each other! Also Drack as a Krogan has no reason to be mad towards an angaran, while he may be bitter towards Kallo or Vetra due to the Turian and Salarian meddling with the genophage. I knew he was a softy! I was worried they might not get along, but they might not be as opposite as we'd think. Sorry, I meant different! But yeah, they might be similar after all! ; v ; It also be a good way to differentiate Drack from Wrex: Drack being a hidden softie and a wiser veteran would help show he is absolutely not the same as good ol' Wrex.

So, Ash from ME Oddysey did QA and while there wasn't much about Jaal, there were tiny bits: He said he wants to romance him on his first playthrough, "whether with Sara or Scott" - idk if it means he is available for Scott, or if he just said that not knowing if he is available (so don't take it as confirmation). Also, Drack and Jaal have entertaining banter and at some point Drack talks with Jaal about broken heart. SourceAwww! That's so sad! Oh Drack ; _ ; I think he and Jaal will be good friends, even if they sound very different from each other! Also Drack as a Krogan has no reason to be mad towards an angaran, while he may be bitter towards Kallo or Vetra due to the Turian and Salarian meddling with the genophage.

Regarding the name of our Ryder, I will never be able to call her Sara: it's my little cousin's name and it would be so weird to hear her called in the game... especially during steamy times Even if everybody will call her "Ryder", I like to think that will become her Name on the ship after a while, like "Oh yeah, she has a first name, but we all call her Ryder, it's our way to show our love and affection to her". That's the same headcanon I had for Shepard ; v ;

I doubt we will get any news today, it's Sunday ;_; But I sent a tweet to Flynn, asking about the chance to invite our LI to our cabin like in ME2. Kallo mentions something like that in the briefing video of the Tempest, but it might have been a simple suggestion coming from the character, so a confirmation would be nice.

Hi all! Been lurking here since a while before this thread hit the 500 page mark Finally decided to join! I must admit when I first came upon Jaal I didn't think much about it. Then I started hearing about how much people wanted to romance him, and then I too started seeing him in a different light , which has now become a small obsession! I didn't think much of Liam either in the beginning, so I was slightly disappointed with the straight female romances. But then I saw his cute wave in the latest gameplay video, and now I realize its going to be a tough choice You guys all seem so crazy and a whole lot of fun, I think I'll love my time here! I've heard about the spoiler thread, and as much as I'd like to stay away from it, I'm too tempted! Could I join? :') Welcome to this place of Jaal-obsession and love :'D

Morning. Stay optimistic guys. It's only 2 weeks for you. Also there are going to be several hours of gameplay at PAX, next Friday! I am sure that will be our chance to see Jaal as we were promised

Ok I just noticed that on Ryder's helmet on masseffect.com you can see "Ryder" crudely scratched into the side??!? Has anyone else seen this, 'cause it's the first I've seen it mentioned! Iirc soldiers scratch their names into their helmets or weapons in case they die and their dogtags aren't found or are too ruined to be read. That way their body can be recognized. Also, that helmet may belong to Alec! Perhaps it dates back to his old missions and Ryder keeps it as a cool memory of their father.

i dunno man,really..i mean with iron bulls romance you have to be into bdsm to proceed so this might be like that.. Oh his romance scene isn't anything like that! Makes a woman melt. Yeah, I think his romance scene pretty much confirms there is no poly or forced BDSM involved. That dev was probably joking or used the wrong term and many people mistook it for a poly confirmation.
To be honest, I think it would hard for Bioware to make a romance like that: they would have to make two characters who like each other, but who also are liked by the player at the same time.
They couldn't make something like "have a relationship with two characters of your choice" and let you choose and combine them from, say, a menu, because not every character can be into a polyamorous relationship. Also I feel like the majority of the Bioware fandom is still pretty monogamous and they have to strike for the maximum appreciation of their product by the largest number of consumers.

I was thinking that some time ago. Like what if those angara foot prints they find at the crime scene was Jaal's? But we won't know till the game comes out. :/ If Jaal was kicking that much ass solo, that's....kinda hot. Yeah, if I remember correctly the scanner says that the frontal plate of the Krogan has been pulled off with a knife or some weapon. That doesn't exactly sound like something Jaal would do, though, it's way too cruel. Maybe some angaran are against the arrival of the new species from the Milky Way Galaxy? Their world just got a lot smaller now that all these new aliens are here, after all, so tension and rough arguments are to be expected. Jaal joins the Initiative to know better the new aliens, so maybe his Resistance will also be the "kind" faction of his race who accepts everyone.

no Jaal but that's a female angara right Yes, but they didn't even let HER speak Lots of cool stuff, yeah, but still no Jaal ;_; At this point it's getting quite annoying. Our last hope is that they will show him next week at PAX.

I think he is likely an important character. This is a new galaxy with new races, as the squadmate that'll give us a connection to the history and people of these places and as such will probably have tons of dialogue at least. Plus the fact that he's supposedly curious and maybe even scholarly? And the devs are saying things along the lines of "I always take him with me everywhere on every playthrough" and constantly saying that they like him personally and making silly jokes with him. It doesn't feel the same as someone like Liara being pushed front and center as their "pet" because they are acting like silly fans instead of putting him on a pedestal. I was even surprised when Ian confessed he was his fav, but Aaryn's tweet? Geez... he's even charming the devs! Yes, he definitely sounds important. I guess he will be our guide to this new galaxy just like Ryder and all the other races will be his about the Milky Way Galaxy and its customs. I hope to see some scenes during combat or exploration where he explains what kind of creatures we are fighting or yells at Ryder to stop touching the shimmering plants. "Why? They look so pretty!" "They are deadly poisonous, Pathfinder." "UH." Also I wonder what his loving nickname for Ryder will be, if he will have one

I wonder why they are "hiding" Jaal from us so much I mean, either they realized how appreciated he is and want to turn him into the flagship LI of the game like they did with Liara and Garrus for the trilogy... or all this mystery means he is an important character, someone who will influence the plot a lot. Maybe not like Solas, but in a similar way. Although that would be already a big spoiler, because it makes people expect the worst/expect him to be Someone Very Important and all the surprise effect would be gone I'm really confused about this kind of behavior and hyping up.

It seems I abandoned my lurking just in time I've been fangirling about Jaal for days now and I finally gathered the courage to write here! Hello everyone! I was hoping to see his bio/character kit today (maybe there is still hope?), but it might be tomorrow at this point Also I read something about the private chat: may I join to learn more about Jaal, although it's nothing confirmed? I really need anything I can get to stop my thirst ;_;
