Vetra Nyx's Sister

Vetra and Syd are really a very typical older and younger sister relationship dynamic. (And btw, it has nothing to do with their background.)

I would see them as a direct reflection of the relationship I have with my sister and also the relationship my cousins have.

The older one wants to baby the younger one and wants to be the leader and the younger one, secretly admiring the older one, will always try to do something stupid, to rebel. But in the end, we all stick together.

It's very complicated.

Eventually but I do want to kick him in his nuts for giving away top secret info and nearly getting us killed.

Another thing that annoys me about Liam is his comment with Vetra about aiming for the head vs for the chest. Vetra comments that its better to aim for the chest even if it takes a couple extra rounds, because you know you hit your target, vs the head because it does more damage. In game, its debatable because hitting the head can down enemies really quickly.

In the Real Life scenario, military personnel always, and I mean ALWAYS aim for the chest. They are trained to aim for that region. Its easier to hit, and can down an enemy just as easily as hitting someone in the head. Sure they die quicker by aiming for the head, but you cant hit the head. Its too small a target. You aim for center of mass. Anyone with military training will confirm this. Its not even debatable, and I don't think anyone in the Bioware Montreal team had any knowledge of formal military training, which is silly, considering the situation of the game.

Maybe next playthrough

:amirite:

I should be sorry, and I'm not.

I don't recall Liam saying he had military training. So I don't think it's a bad thing for his character that he assumes incorrectly about where to shoot Kett.

I'd rather characters have flaws than be all perfect.

You can hate a character but love how they're written. I don't have that relationship with Liam, I actually like his character.

Literally everyone on the Pathfinder team gives their unsolicted opinion about everyone else. Like I said before, the argument that we're debating about started because Vetra gave her unsolicted opinion on Liam's fighting style. And then there's stuff like Cora going after Peebee for not caring enough about the Leusinia or whatever that inane conversation was. I think this is the one Bioware game where the banters actually made me like the characters less.

But, on-topic, dragging kids along to Andromeda makes me uncomfortable because there's no real way it can be their decision and it's not the same as moving them a state over. It's a huge, unknown risk. But, realistically, the Initiative would never have been able to get going without allowing families and they need an immediate upcoming labor force to take over. Sid is a teenager, I think this is explicitly stated, so she's more able to give her consent. I would assume she and Vetra had a serious conversation about it before hand. They're close sisters, no reason to assume they wouldn't. I mean, yeah, it's a non-choice, but hopefully one made with discussion.


Liam has an entire conversation with you about leaving his parents and how he couldn't have left the MW if he had a sibling. Like that's a huge part of the argument between the two, which Liam says later on in the banters, that Vetra's situation made him think about his own and how unhappy he's been with Andromeda.

Yes. Loyal. Many people here probably don't even know what loyalty is.


That's actually a great point. Even with protection, impacts will severely inconvenience you, if not outright (big enough rounds) break your ribs and possibly cause internal bleeding. Go large enough, no plate carrier will protect you, because even the stopped bullet will still give all of the energy to your body through the plate.

You don't even need military training. It's common sense more than anything, but the level of knowledge to end up with this is not insignificant, and Liam probably doesn't have the knowledge or experience about shooting people.

Its more likely that the children simply haven't been brought out of cryo yet because they have nothing to contribute to initial colonization efforts.

There was nothing against children. Just the adults weren't allowed to procriate until the Andromeda Initiative had enough resources to expand and make sure those born after the arrival didn't die.


ps: Someone mentioned asari age above. They aren't kids for one century, more like somewhere between 40-62. Samara mentions Morinth run away at age 40, which was young even by asari standarts, and one Eclipse merc on Illum mentions she is finally outside her parents home after having 62 years. And then there is also Liara who was already a doctor at age 106.
