Peebee (Official Thread)

It's definitely a constellation of things that make for the whole 'Space Sera' impression that's going around. I was just saying that I've seen that particular label being bandied about in comments across the web whenever a thread gets going on Peebee, fair or not.



Besides Shiala, I don't really think there was much solemnity in it. After action meeting with the entire crew sitting around us? Embrace eternity. In the burning ruins of the human homeworld while we're prepping for a big final battle? Embrace Eternity (must have been awkward as shit for the injured soldier on the cot nearby). As I alluded to in my original post, I'm just generally weary of the asari so that's why I'm not that amped about PeeBee being the focus of so much of the promo materials up to this point. I'm sure I'll warm up to her as I play the game, so it goes.

Excited for you to find the Nakmor Kesh thread. Enjoy.

Ugh. Don't get me started... Lol.

I'm definitely going to be putting her in some normal armor if we have the option... I think her outfit is fine as casual wear, but for volcanic planets with enemy robots shooting at us? Not so much. It sounds like we can change the outfits to a point so here's hoping we get some practical options for her (even if the stupid breather masks are here to stay, sadly ).

And yeah, I am kinda over seeing her in the marketing. Not because I hate her, but because I'm curious about everyone else and we either haven't seen them at all, or we've only seen them and have zero information. So each time they show PeeBee, again, I'm like 'Nooooo Bioware why!?' I remember following DAI's launch and hating Vivienne a little bit too cause she was on all the marketing - meanwhile the only images we had of some of the other companions were from a far off group pic that had been leaked. Funny enough, in the end she wasn't even that important in the game...

In other words, you liking the fact that not all the women are going to be hawt supermodel types with giant breasts clearly means you also lust after big wrinkly turtle women. Obviously.   

Anyway, I've said this before but I like her look, even her outfit - provided I can put her in armor too!

Idk I guess being a lesbian means I have strange tastes and only "like big wrinkly turtle women" lel

Yeah, the belt to me looks like it's keeping both leg holsters in place.

Putting aside the fear of some people to have another Sera (although her background already differentiate her from that, since she's a scientist/academic), a lot of criticism was and is based on her first pic of her (which actually showcased her with something that look like proper armour ). I doubt she'd get many criticism about being ugly if the first time she was shown was like at the PS4 pro footage or her menu shot.
It might also be the reason why Bioware decided to hold off showing Liam and Cora, if their faces were still not final.

That's what I said, that her background alone differentiate Peebee from Sera.

Looking at those screens of PeeBee, makes me want to rewatch Blade Runner again, been awhile.

I think it has a lot to do with that early video where they used PeeBee's face to demonstrate their facial animation engine. They ran her mug through a quick series of fairly extreme facial expressions, and some observers decided that means she is 'juvenile', 'bratty', etc. It didn't take some asshole very long to make a PeeBee/Shrek meme, which is one of the reasons why we can't have nice things (like facial animation demos - someone out there always has to make developers regret sharing things like that).

Unlike other folks here, I don't think her face has changed much (if at all) since that demo vid. Her features all look pretty much the same to my eyes. Different angles, different lighting, more normal facial expressions make a lot of difference in how a face looks. How many times have we all come out of a character creator and found our character didn't look the way we expected once we see them under different lighting, from different angles, with different expressions?

As for her outfit - they don't seem to be able to design many female follower outfits that aren't deep-wedgie-and-cameltoe tight or exposes skin. I guess I'll just have to be glad it's her tummy instead of cleavage this time.

Well - in the trilogy, armor had points to attach firearms on the back.  PeeBee isn't wearing that kind of armor, though, so... shrug.

For a genius sociologist she sure was pretty stubborn about elf nature.
