It's probably not a good idea to get too invested in deciding who your character is or isn't going to romance, unless you plan on potentially adjusting the gender of your protagonist based on the potential LIs. We don't know who is a LI yet or which gender(s) they prefer, so some people are definitely setting themselves up for disappointment. Right after DA:I released there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth from people who were already shipping femme Inquisitor with Cassandra or male Inquisitor with Sera. Vivienne was assumed to be one of the LIs as well pre-release, and there were fans who were quite vocal in their disappointment of how that played out. I agree but it's difficult. I have no interest in Weepee or the bird looking female Turian. I usually romance human females and I like them to be on my squad. Cora seems to be my only option at this point.

I was thinking I might play a feisty Sara later to romance Drack with if he's an option purely because we've not had a Krogan romance yet and I'd be interested to see how it would play out though.

Humanity first for me, too. Then either PeeBee or new Andromeda female, if we get any of them.

I just want them to have accents. Maybe Russian for Cora and Australian or Portuguese for Liam. Seriously, take Cassandra for example--she's seventeen million times cooler than she would have been without her accent. I wouldn't mind Russian accent, though the name doesn't suggest suggest such origins such as they've done with hispanics etc. Agree Sackhoff has a very good voice so wouldn't complain if she was modelled on her. just looked up origin of name Cora, didn't know it meant 'maiden' and the Greek Persephone myth. so is she going to be kidnapped and dragged to the underworld at a climax of the game. I arbitrarily picked those languages since first names don't necessarily have to be indicative of one's background or nationality-- although you are probably correct in assuming that in this case they will be. I would certainly welcome Cora who speaks with a Greek, Norwegian, Moroccan, South African, Hungarian, Korean, Indian etc. accent. Unfortunately, Systems Alliance appears to generally employ only humans with either American or British accents (very odd practice from an organization that supposedly represents the entire human race--the UN really needs to get with the program). All other accents are generally limited to aliens, Cerberus, various goons, and people roaming the space on their own. A bit more variety within AI and especially among our human AI squad mates would be amazing.

I imagine that has partially to do with accessibility of voice actors for BioWare (native English speakers are more likely to have some form of North American/British accent, and those who can do a GOOD accent are probably few and far between). Still, I would like to see more variety in dialect and accents for ME humans. As for Cora, I'm leaning towards human based on her avatar and the fact we always seem to have at least one male human and one female human on our ME teams. Also, it's really, really hard for me not to think of this every time I see/hear her name, despite the different spelling:

Well, I was referring to the fact that the character there is Korra, not the bending. But yeah that would be neat from a biotics standpoint. Ugh, I hope not. The less Cora is like Korra, the better. I loved Korra - both the show and the character. It would be weird for me if Cora was similar just because it would be an odd nerd overlap in my mind, but if she as a similar personality, I'm okay with that. I like fiery characters. I also like more laid back people. Mostly I just want variety in character types. I rarely hate companion characters, there's usually something interesting about them to me and so long as there's not 100% selfish, I usually like them.

The show was okay though had problems, but those can be forgiven due to the real world stuff that interfered with its production. Still pales in comparison to The Last Airbender though. As for the character, she is by far the worst Avatar in the history of Avatars and does the worst thing a character, particularly the protagonist, in a story can do: not grow as a character.

I like last Airbender more too, but still love Korra. I don't think that she doesn't grow however, she grows a lot by my measure. Probably best not to derail the topic with that though: Can we agree to disagree for now? Might have a chance in an off topic thread at some point if we feel like debating the finer points of Korra. Regarding Andromeda Cora, if she is human, I'm curious what she sounds like (don't think we've heard her yet?). I know Liam's confirmed as British, but I'm wondering if Cora will be another North American type or if they'll break the mold. Probably not, but it'd be nice for more variety.

Wait... where does this "inhibited" came from? She is currently visage-inhibited. As for Cora, I'm leaning towards human based on her avatar and the fact we always seem to have at least one male human and one female human on our ME teams. Also, it's really, really hard for me not to think of this every time I see/hear her name, despite the different spelling: Boo. Who you should be thinking of is: Then again, maybe not since she may not live up to expectations.

I strongly disagree about the better villains part. That's a fair point--in terms of villains, I was just thinking of what's-his-face, the one who was voiced by The Joker. Even still, the thing with TLA was that while you had characters like Azula who had interesting character, their ultimate motivation was pretty basic and not much to talk about--global domination. What made LOK's villains so dynamic is that they were a lot more multi-faceted, and they all had more layered, understandable motivation--many of them actually had a point.

I hope she's more like Asami I was mostly referring to her powers not her personality I always come to this forum to get some kind of laugh of the day, because why would Korra be a self insert for fat lonely girls? both Asami and Korra are thin as fuck. Also everyone loves Asami, like who even would hate her? also I am glad they are together now. For the topic Cora is probably going to be a kind of Josephine character, why? because Peebee is the wild and Vetra is the strict, Cora is going to be the middle therm.
