Cora Harper (Official Thread)

I, too, was thinking about ME's armor after our earlier exchange. I'm usually not happy with my party's mismatch gear until nearly level 50. Then, everyone but Tali is wearing Armax Arsenal Predator X armor and sporting full Spectre weapon loadouts. I strongly prefer the ME2 and/or ME3 systems to the old-school RPG system used in ME.

I was specifically, though, thinking of how the Alliance personnel with whom we fought seemed to lack any sort of uniformity, in terms of gear and equipment. Granted, we truly had precious few examples, with so many crew being aliens. Still, Ash and Kaiden never really looked like they were even part of the same organization, to me, aside from being human. (I know everyone used the same, drab body outside of combat.)

It's humorous, now, that we see more uniformity among the Ai civilian personnel. This could just be a matter of prerelease presentation, but I like the matching gear. It makes things look more legit. No big organization, be they military or civilian, is going to produce a dozen different custom armors from which their picky personnel can choose. (There are exceptions, but I'm talking basics, here, keeping logistics simple.) They'll produce precisely the variety they must and no more. I hope the custom, individualized looks emerge as the characters' personalities emerge. Everyone just showing up in head-to-toe custom gear is off-putting for me. (Like I said, I'm really picky with minor details. Nothing escapes my scrutiny or scales, after a hundred or so playthroughs.  )

It's not a big deal at all, but it would be very cool to see it implemented gradually, as I described. My idea is probably more resource intensive than is realistic, though, in the grand scheme of things.

I mostly have two problems with Cora's design so far.
I don't even know how to call it... butt contour? Like the one Tali had or baboons. You got what I mean, it looks silly and serves no purpose other than "look, a butt!"

Can anyone clarify wheather we see Cora or Sarah Ryder at 0:13 in new trailer?

Yeah not sure on the colour scheme but overall good based on limited info and i'm definitely pinning a lot of hopes on her.

I'm 100% sure she will be. She's the one almost everyone from the core audience (heterosexual men) would choose, and BioWare is smarter than that to alienate such a large group. I'd like if she were bi though since I like to play female from time to time as well, yet at the same time I can't bring myself to romance guys. Either way, I'll get my (supposed) blonde one way or another

I was in the same situation like you actually Also tried to romance Alistair and switched to Leliana. My second attempt was with Cullen in DA:I, but once again I just couldn't and opted to remain alone since no woman interested me in DA:I (except for Vivienne maybe and of course Leliana, but they were not a possibility).

And I'd very much like to see Cora finally. There were glimpses of what I believe is her in the old tech demo. She seemed to have her hair in a bun or ponytail of sort (and she was blonde  ). No face though.

I'm not a native speaker myself and I had your explanation sounded as clear as it may be with such an odd and complicated topic. 
It looks like our vision on this is pretty similar, though instead of "there are still things I'll never do, simply because I can never imagine doing it myself" I'd say "there are still things I'll never do, simply because I believe they are wrong or stupid". After all, I can't imagine myself even going to military,  not to mention saving all our galaxy, but my Shep does it easily  .

So, well, romancing someone you're not attracted to in real life is definitely weird. But after this discussion I more than ever want to try. You know, like a mental experiment or something

I'm 100% sure she will be. She's the one almost everyone from the core audience (heterosexual men) would choose, and BioWare is smarter than that to alienate such a large group. I'd like if she were bi though since I like to play female from time to time as well, yet at the same time I can't bring myself to romance guys. Either way, I'll get my (supposed) blonde one way or another

I would think every gender & sexual preference combo will have at least one human character that is a potential LI. 

On that note Vetra may not be one of the LIs, unless ME:A is going to be like DA:I and have a cartload of them. I don't think it will turn out at least that the only female LIs for Sara are Peebee and Vetra. If Sara only has two potential female LIs, I'd bet Peebee or Vetra being one of the two, but not both. The other would likely be a human character.

Yep, same here. Peebe is going to be Sera v2 (not to mention I don't find her attractive) and Vetra, well, let's just say I'd gladly have her as a friend, because I can't imagine going THERE with her.

And Cora's blonde (or at least she was, hopefully they didn't change it)!!! That alone makes her my number one target. Unless she has some major character flaw (in my eyes) I'm definitely romancing her.
