Ryder Confirmed to be Brother/Sister

Oh ho ho, I'm tempted!

Yeah. Just look at Geralt (Witcher series), the past made the character really rich but it does not limit your actions in the game (if that were true everyone would finish the trilogy with Yennefer )

As long as he doesn't address them as "Inquisitor," I'm good.

My Ryder is going to be the bartender in Ten Forward.

Same but more free drinks and less actually being a bartender.

I suppose if EDI's voice makes a reappearance, we know to be suspect. ME2 & 3 were just to lull us into a false sense of security. I, for one, welcome our computer overlords.

Well, at least it'll keep the kinkmeme types busy!

PLOT TWIST! Your brother/sister IS your father!

I been thinking that your sibling might be able to have a bigger companion role than Bethany/Carver because they have two actors (male and female) recording protagonist Ryder lines and sibling Ryder lines. So whichever you pick both are used in the game. Where in the other games, the protagonist/Hawke sibling you don't pick voice actors' dialogue are just not use. Am I being clear? I mean either way both voice actors are in the game, so they are paying two actors for two characters. I think that would be more cost effective.

He makes a point of saying our sibling is "out there somewhere", so I really doubt they die. At least, at the start. An easy plot would be: Dad woke up first, Dad went missing, siblings wake up, non-PC sibling goes off to track Dad via their own methods/following one lead while PC sibling looks for him via vault hunting/following a different lead. And they occasionally check in with one another. No one has to be dead.

Now, if Dad is an antagonist in the end, I could totally see them having the sibling side with him. Or they could make it more complicated. Perhaps, the sibling will just end up opposite of you regardless. Like, If you take the more aggressive approaches, which would likely be more like Dad's methods or something, maybe the sibling will prefer the more diplomatic ones, so you'll be opposed in the end, but *you* are the one siding with Dad (who would, by your choice, not technically be an antagonist for you)? And then reverse all that if you take the more diplomatic routes.
