Ryder Confirmed to be Brother/Sister

I'm wondering if the whole sibling thing is just a gimmick for the character creator or will the brother/sister play some role in the story. If family plays a role in the story, I hope it's better than DA2.

"Cerberus, I hate these guys" 

Nah, I liked Cerberus, but we need a new supremacist group with another new angle. It's the moment of TERRA FIRMA...
...but they won't have Earth anymore tho.


If I were a developer, I will try to use the Ryder Sibling the less possible and only in the most important moments. They could use them as Anderson or Hackett in ME3: you play with Anderson at his side at the begining of ME3, then you talk to him after the most relevant missions (plot advance missions) and then you see him again in Priority Earth and the ending. I don't think your sibling will be for long in your squad, the replayability would be odd and you will see too much of the specific default personality of your NPC sibling... which was your main character in other play. If you interact with your sibling only in the most important moments, you can avoid what Hanako feared the most: your former main character acting very strange and off your canon version as NPC.

Another drama point: if we have a Virmire situation, maybe this time you don't make the decision but your father. And obviously he would choose you (because you are the NPC) so your PC will feel horrible because his/her sibling has died (survivor's guilt) and even you can add drama hating your father because of Sophie's choice.

I was watching the E3 2015 video of ME:A,and I've noticed the N7 guy(our father) is on board of the Temepest...and he selects the desert planet.
I was thinking...could be possible,that father Ryder be one of our squadmate?or maybe a playable character?

Yeah...Antibaar is one of my favorite planets in ME,I hope to see more of this in Andromeda.
About father...there has to be 2 options:
1-is one of our squademate
2-possible a enemy(but not from the begining of the game).
And watching the E3 2015 video,the father is very agile for his age.Lets think a bit:I believe,the Ryders brothers are TWINS...and let's suppose they are 25-30 years old.Ok...then the father has to be something like 45-50 years old,but he is in a very good shape.I believe the father Rayder was one of the first N7 operatives ever.

Yes. Shepard mentioned humans livespan go up to 150 years.

More accurately, Shepard says humans are lucky to reach 150. So that is still a rare thing, but yeah human lifespans have increased a couple decades compared to our real world expectancy. 

But as themikefest said, even today a lifelong soldier would be able to do what our father could do in the trailer, especially with the suits we have in Mass Effect. 

Yep. After all Anderson is 49 in Mass Effect 3 and look at what he is able to do. 

Anyway...Anderson looks older than 49...but i've got and ideea:what if the father Ryder and Anderson know each other?...they are about the same age...and they are both N7.

But BW said there will be refferences from old trilogy...who knows...we will find some day

You are right...I also believe that the father Ryder is one who make references to the old trilogy...and the ideea that he meet Shepard...sounds very cool.

Let me kill Sis Ryder
