Cora Harper (Official Thread)

I'm doing the same without reading the book  I just want to romance her and it's the only way to do it.

I've heard good things about it. I guess I'll have to read it. Hell, supporting these novels might, at this point, be all that's allowing ME from having any sort of future existence.

What's this about Cora and a book? First time I'm hearing of this. I might have to google this.

And an unpopular opinion, but I think Cora is my favorite character in MEA. Drack is great too, but I really like Cora's banter on the Nomad. She is so laid back, nice, and gets along with everyone. It makes her super likable. I know she gets flak for talking too much about Asari, but she does drop it after her loyalty mission. And she even regrets looking up to them so much during Nomad banters. She gets a lot of hate for being a boring human when I think she is one of the better ones.

And while her romance isn't brilliant, I liked it. There is just enough good to decent moments to make it solid. And there are several instances where you can tell she really cares about you. That's all I can ask really.

Thanks. I will give the book a try. Is it possible to read it online?

Ok, thanks. I'll check it out. It would be an interesting read anyway.

Funny, almost every ME2 companion went on and on about their character issue(s), but no one gave them flak about it. Yes, Samara. You're a Justicar. I get it.

Cora Herpes

I like Cora. Yes, she goes on too much about the whole Asari thing, yet the kicker is her being unintentionally pushed off-course by her deceased mentor (Daddy Ryder) and putting you as Pathfinder over her. That, to me, is the actual story, not just "I was a Huntress, Asari, Asari, Asari, Asari, Asari, Asari, Asari, Asari, Asari, Asari". She's going through that conflict as well as being in a position of not having a boss around to give her soldiery orders. On top of that, one of her heroes turns out to have made a not-too-heroic decision and that throws in another confusing wrench. In short, in this new galaxy, all her familiarity is being shot to shit and she has to figure it all out in a heap.

By comparison, characters like Liam are so straightforward and generic - unhelped by his party-banter being obnoxious and rude despite his predictable nice-guy-on-the-ship drivel. Cora, on the other hand, gets on with (almost) the entire crew and has nice banter, with amusing moments as well as serious. She's a good blend - her downfall is she's a 'boring human' in a game centered on exploring the unknown that happens to be full of colourful aliens. It was no different in the Trilogy.

Didn't know there was also books in the mix, but I wager it just adds more fuel to the simmer that is Cora. She's basically my 3rd favourite of the companions. If there were more than two slots, I'd use her more often - she has amusing/solid banter with everyone else and only has issues with one in particular, whereas Liam seems to have issues with everyone out of the blue like a derp-child.

The book adds a bit of a spin to the romance, in the sense of how much SAM may be influencing Ryder's interest in Cora. Cora is one of my favorite ME characters probably because she is a blend of my two other favorites Ashley(ME1) and Miranda(ME2&3).

My one wish is she had some banter dressing down Liam, and Peebee for their stupid stunts during their loyalty missions and endangering the Pathfinder. I really wanted to drop them both on their heads at the Nexus and leave them there after the loyalty missions. As it is Cora always accompanys my Ryder with either Jaal, Drack or Vetra while Peebee and Liam are confined to the Tempest.

I’m replaying it again and I’m liking her more this time and I’m actively disliking drak. Who you pair people up with has a big effect. Party banter tells you more than actual conversations sometimes . This time around drak is just a whiny bitch. Salarian, salarian, salarian. Dude shut up. Your people tried to murder everyone in the galaxy you got off lite. Cora as long as she isn’t with peebee is actually decent. I didn’t use her for games 2-now because game 1 she was teamed with peebee a lot and I came to hate her. Now I only roll peebee out for remnant focused missions. Still not a huge fan of Cora for gameplay reasons. She keeps detonating my primed targets with her lame charge instead of them getting hit with my adept based chain explosions.

Top Ryder is hottest Ryder. 😍❤️😍
