Expertise (Initiative Story Trailer spoilers)

Xenobiology pretty much of necessity.

(Nice thread title spoiler warning, much appreciated!)

Botany and enough chemical knowledge to make good alcohol out of whatever plant I could use for that. Ryncol will be so last galaxy!

Rycol was never the most popular alcoholic beverage anyway, only krogans could drink it .

I'd go with biology and/or astrophysics given the chance.

Xeno-archaeology! Jeanne-Luc Ryder's gonna be real excited about ancient alien statues, tools, masonry and the like. She donated her small collection of Raloi figurines to a Citadel museum before setting out for Andromeda, out of a sense of propriety - she didn't feel it would be right for her to risk them on such a perilous voyage, and her luggage allocation was limited anyway - but she's eager to uncover what artefacts she can of the ancient civilisations of the Heleus Cluster!

I would like to see someone with training in geology, that would be usefull to look for places to create a colony.

Her expertise is being a Lady Orifice

*raises hand*

Can I say it?! Can I?!

Astrophysics maybe, though anything related to medicine sounds like it could also be useful in gameplay.

If our characters have a science background I'm sort of disappointed that the male version won't be voiced by Jeff Goldblum. In The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension! he played Dr. Buckaroo Banzai, a physicist, neurosurgeon, test pilot, and rock star who saves the world from an alien invasion.

We actually had a tweet in the last two days or so that confirmed non-combat skill options in this game. (Later, when I'm not eating and maybe feel more inclined, I may track it down and edit it into this post.) It can be found in the Twitter thread, for those curious.

I can't remember everything said, but I do recall specifically that some skills would enhance "scanning and identification abilities", more or less. Other skills mentioned were in a similar vein. Those sound somewhat in the wheelhouse of what Lady Artifice is proposing, at least in the sense of better enabling the "cerebral explorer" RP.

Yea, your soaking wet kind folds under azzholes.

Can't speak without permission from your daddy.

You're sweet I'm going to make you his girlfriend.

You always cut in line to talk to me whenever I'm having fun with other forum members.

Is there something dalinne wants to share.  You can tell me anything.  Are they merely paying you to appease me.

What's really going on in dalinne's mind.

It'll be a perfect day when everyone but me thinks like you.

Do you want a part in Krogan and the Wench?
