Cora Harper (Official Thread)

Pfft, nonsense. Of course Bioware can do the same character. They've done it several times before, like all the characters afflicted with Carth Syndrome. Plus they wouldn't be the same character since Josephine hates violence and refuses to use it where Cora do to being a squadmate clearly doesn't. 

So there is Wild, Strict and Peaceful?
There could always be a Wild, Strict and REAPER DOOMSDAY DEVICE.

Don't know why but I'm getting this feeling of a tough woman, with clear ideas who likes to play it rough. I don't believe she is going to be a princess like Josephine.

Well, based on my detailed analysis on Bioware tropes for romanceable female characters (who knows, maybe I'll write a paper one of these days), I imagine Vetra will be our tough, no-nonsense, self-righteous warrior woman while Peebee will be closer to the mandatory cute, sort of naive girly gal. Which would make Cora the resident bad girl. So yeah, it's looking like she likes it rough from where I'm standing.

yeah I hope she is too as I generally prefer characters like that. I guess we'll  find out soon enough though. Hopefully we'll learn something in the next info dump whenever that is

yeah was thinking of designing my Ryder's personality around that as well. She'll be more diplomatic than Ashley but will have a bit of a sassy side to her as well when she feels she can get away with it.

I highly doubt Cora will be like Ashley, simply because they are going to want to avoid the new companions being seen as thee 2.0 of the old similar companions. We see this already with some companions being the opposite of their Shepard Trilogy counterparts.

Personally, I don't want Cora to be a carbon copy of Ashley. Ash is unique and my favorite character in the entire trilogy(we all have our favorites).  A little bit of sass in Cora would be nice though, imo.

wright1978 Oh, a little personal trivia. I'm a huge Chuck tv show fan. Yvonne Strahovski was how I discovered Mass Effect. I was planning on romancing her but I thought I better start the trilogy by playing me1 first. Well, I did and discovered Ash. The rest is history. Miranda would definitely be my second choice.  

Haha, see? I barely know/remember anything about it. I'll check it out if I get a chance.

Yeah, no idea what way Cora will go but knowing me I'll probably like her regardless. I can't remember the last time I hated a companion character. I appreciate a wide variety of personality traits in characters, so long as they're well fleshed out.

Worst Avatar in the history of Avatars? Seriously ? Worse than Kuruk, who mostly goofed off and only stepped up in the hopes of getting his wife back from Koh? Worse than Roku, whose inaction led to his own death, the genocide of the Air Nomads and 100 Years War? What, Korra beating the Triads, the Equalists, Vaatu, the Red Lotus and the Earth Kingdom wasn't good enough? Saving countless lives, being instrumental in reforming the Air Nomads and reunifying the physical and Spirit Worlds wasn't good enough ? Even if you don't like Korra's character, you can't deny her accomplishments. Oh, and please don't give me that "she had a lot of help" tripe, because no one achieves great things completely on their own.

We'll just have to agree to disagree on Korra's growth. The Korra of Air would not have been as open, patient, thoughtful, and forgiving as she became by Balance. I find it particularly funny that you you blast Korra for "failing to grow", and deny the slightest possibility for change and redemption for other characters (Solas, Blackwall,* Isabella, Sera, etc.). Or that Sara Ryder having confidence and a snarky sense of humor somehow makes her irredeemable.

*Everyone assumes Solas will be the new Big Bad since he monologued his plan to bring down the Veil to the Inquisitor at the end of Trespasser. Everyone takes Solas at his word, when tricks and lies are the Dread Wolf's forte.  Seriously, no one here has ever heard of a Zero Approval Gambit? Read Patrick Weekes' own Rogues of the Republic series to see just how much he loves misdirection. As for Blackwall, whether or not you think he deserves redemption, his Trespasser Pardoned and Warden Epilogues objectively prove that he was at least honest in his desire to atone. 

You don't like people with a sense of humour, do you?
