Cora Harper (Official Thread)

Bioware has always recycled characters; a dorky half elven warrior? Khalid begets Alistair. A multi-classed fighter who hates magic for what it has done to him and his family, despite using it? Valygar begets Fenris. A burly, drunken berzerker? Black Whirlwind begets Ohgren. A grim mercenary who becomes determined to save his people? Canderous begets Wrex (even to the point where he kills the old "Canderous" in Fist). A homicidal automaton? HK-47 begets Shale.

Sometimes this is to give the player a sense of familiarity, while still having new Companions. Sometimes it can be to take that archetype in new and/or different directions that they weren't able to previously. And sometimes it can be to deconstruct them, as DA2's Anders/Justice is Bizzaro Mirror version of Wynne (who herself could be a Bizzaro Wild Flower). Examining archetypes from different angle doesn't have to be a bad thing, especially if that character is otherwise occupied or possibly dead.

People found out Liam's face model. Do you think Cora has one?

In profile she has quite a distinctive nose, so it wouldn't surprise me...

The haircut is very similar but the profile (nose in particular) doesn't quite look right...

I'm not execrating you, Hanako, and I'm sorry I've made you feel that way. 

I absolutely never said you have issues with the people who like it, but the with the thing that they like, just as you just have. 

It just seems that way sometimes, depending on how persistently you're expressing your dislike at a given moment.

The problem is that only one of them is actually pretty.

Protip: It's not Cora

Or perhaps she simply got the Miranda treatment.



Funny how they didn't have that problem with Sheploo.

Maybe it has less to do with BioWare's ability to render a woman accurately and more to do with the ridiculous amount of scrutiny we routinely put on female looks...

I'm on the Cora bandwagon. I'm seriously digging her appearance and I'm extremely interested in her initial position as 2nd in command and how that evolves.

I agree on that.
I don't see Sheploo model's identical to Shep at all. I see the inspiration, but the limitations of the engine where you scan the model is obvious. The same as Miranda's model scan.
Shep model's scan is not better than Miranda's. As yourfunnyuncle says, it's more about our scrutiny.

yeah she is quite pretty I wouldn't say she's the prettiest as I've seen prettier but she's definitely not ugly. I like the fact she looks like she's got a rough and ready kind of look abbout her something you'd expect from a potential first officer like she's meant to be so it's all good to me.
