Good thing SAM isn't a part of meld. Another huge plus for PB Makes you wonder if SAM could enter the meld if he wanted to? Now I'm curious whether Peeebee would be up for getting SAM involved? Y'know, for the bragging rights of having sex with an AI and as part of a threesome? She does love new experiences, so the idea of an organic/synthetic menage a trois would be intriguing. He can't read Ryder's thoughts so... I doubt he can be a part of the meld.

Eh, I was cheated on by a very flirtatious girl and, while I get what you're saying and why you feel this way, it's not good to be controlling. Yes, jealousy is perfectly healthy. However, it's best to have better communication in relationships with flirtatious people rather than just assume it must be cheating because she's flirting. I'm not certain we disagree actually. I'll try to better explain my point. Not sure if that makes sense the way I write it. If you feel uncomfortable with a repetitive flirty game clearly installed that happens often, it means something is not right, follow your intuition. Something that is absolutely innocent if you are not the jealous type doesn't make you feel that way. I'm actually not controlling at all. I'm nicely making a point I don't necessarily agree or that I'm uncomfortable, people take it as they wish. A relationship includes two folks. Each one of them have feelings, your feelings aren't any less relevant than those of your flirtatious partner. You aren't controlling if you make notice something, or even speak out what you think. It's still communication. Jealousy, meh. It happened only once with my girlfriend, and weirdly enough, she was pleased. I'm not used to show any jealousy to be honest, it's the opposite, hence maybe why. The day I'm always jealous can only mean I'm going to break up with an untrustworthy woman who does shit since I'm not the jealous type at all actually. I'm not the foolish type of guy who accepts whatever the hell his woman does for her own pleasure either to the detriment of her guy. I'll gladly let that to other folks with their disastrous results compared to mine when it's about keeping their girlfriend and having a good and stable relationship that works without being insulted. A part of why my relationships are healthy and stable is because I make it work that way. Flirting with others while you have a partner is a dangerous game, and it is showing that you have not much consideration for your boyfriend / girlfriend, and it could easily lead to cheating as real life confirmed so many times. And I really insist on that. People are human, everyone can be weak at one point, don't make it easier to fall into the trap. I didn't mean that a flirtatious partner necessarily leads to cheating, but that letting her to flirt with other guys was not normal in spite of her nature and was kinda foolish as such game is dangerous and incredibly increases the risks. And yes, a serious loyal girl / guy with principles is less likely to cheat than a casual flirtatious guy/ gal if the latter can't even understand alone that once you are with someone, you have no flirt games with other folks, because it's fun. It's wrong to let your partner having this attitude once you are with her. After, to each to deal with that in the way he wants, as long as you do something for me, but yeah, you cannot be okay with that situation, passive, as if that was a normal thing. Those who act that way are called canards ( negative ), and mostly by women to be honest, tough plenty of guys use it too. Faced to that type of flirtarious partner, It's always the same type of folks who are fucked, with that type of liberale naive attitude that lead them in the wall. What pisses me even more, it's that they do not listen to their friends when you repeatively tell them they shouldn't behave like that. Boohou, don't talk badly about my partner, that's enough of that. She would never do something bad, I trust her. Sometime, instead of comforting them in their unbelievable sadness and surprise with such predictable results, I just wanted to tell them : " dude, really, you had a baffling attitude, you let your girlfriend having fun with all the guys on earth, flirting even before you without ever telling her anything, you think it's okay because she is like that, it's her nature, you allowed her to think that it didn't bother you and it was fine, and you are surprised with her dangerous games she had the weakness one day to finally fall for another man, to cheat on you and finally left after one of these same repetitive flirts you didn't think was harmful and finally left you for a man with who she had that same " harmless " flirty game like you thought ? yeah. " " Duuude, you had all the warnings under your nose, before your eyes, Yon't have the right to cry ! You behaved like a true canard like say women, you should have never fallen in love with a woman who flirt with other guys as if she didn't give you any consideration to begin with. You should have never considered her as wifey material, you should have protected your feelings and never have trusted her as long as she kept doing that game. It was silly. Someone who is wifey material would never behave like that. " But I'm too nice. I remain silent every single time it happens for the same dumb reasons. Tiring. It's like people never learn. Guys can be dumb when they are in love. I'll never be that guy. My girlfriend isn't receptive to guys hitting on her, and she never flirts with anyone. Some tried with her as well, she never answered back, unless to thank the guy in a nice but distant tone. HERE a reaction that is wifey material. She never flirts with anyone, She isn't interested; I NEVER required anything from her, I'm not controlling, it's just that for her, as much as for me, it's NORMAL and COMMON SENSE to not flirt with other folks that aren't your boyfriend / girlfriend if you already have a partner. She is even worse than me, she doesn't accept that I dance with other women in nightclubs. And there are a lot of women like her who think it's insulting. She didn't forbid me to do it, but she gave me the subtle message it was not okay... ___ Once you are in a relationship, the flirt game is between you and your girlfriend, there is literally zero point to do it with other folks. The flirt game is what leads you to do things you would never do otherwise. Everyone can be tempted, everyone can be weak at one point. We are all humans. I never cheated in my life. Why ? Not because I'm a perfect guy insensible to other women, without any weakness, but because I never allowed myself to play a little game with anyone else than my girlfriend.

Last time I checked, Ryder and Peebee were in a monogamous relationship, not one involving other parties. So yeah, your polyamory argument is completely irrelevant when the couple I'm talking about is a monogamous one. And maybe that's you, but once I found my wife my radar shut off completely towards other women. I just think you're being a little overzealous and insensitive is all. What works for each couple is different. Obviously. You don't like it, but there's no need to be so agressive when other people have no issue with PeeBee's flirting. I never post anything on this board to get a reaction from anyone. I post my opinions on whatever the topic is and move on. I'd honestly prefer if no one ever quoted anything I said because I like to keep to myself. But...if people are going to respond to my post then yes, I'm going to defend my opinion to the end. It seems to me that the people who have no problem with Peebee flirting with other characters seem to think they're correct and people like myself who don't like it are the weird ones. But I'm tired, I'll just stay out of the thread.

I'll just stay out of the thread. I don't think you're weird. I think maybe you're a little defensive and think the rest of us aren't good people for not minding the flirting. I think both sides just got their backs up a bit.

I'm just going to say that every couple has different boundaries and limits. And every person is different too. Just because someone is flirty does not mean they'll cheat on their partner; you can't just paint everyone with the same brush. It's all down to communication and respect for your partner's limits.

In DA2 when you hooked up with Isabela, she actually stopped flirting with people, because she wasn't interested in someone else. I really liked that. Too bad it doesn't apply also here. DAI suggests that while Hawke and Isabela are committed to each other, they have some degree of open relationship. This accounts for Isabela being her usual flirtatious self in the multiplayer and Hawke's comments about how neither of them liked being tied down, as well as hoping that Isabela's having fun, but not " too much" fun while they're away. Some fans dislike this inference, whereas I kind of see it as being rather in-character for both of them. It was no secret that Isabela liked to sleep around and Hawke's relationship with her effectively started as friends-with-benefits. It was only in Act 3 that she finally admitted to having fallen for them. Yet despite this, she still initially planned to sleep with Zevran and showed very little jealousy if Hawke flirted with Tallis, only stating that she must ask her permission first. That's why I'm fine with suggestion that Hawke/Isabela may have that kind of relationship, even if it's not everyone's cup of tea. (And bringing this back on-topic, that's why I'm not bothered with Peebee's flirting with other characters when she's with Ryder, as it seems mostly talk, rather than anything actually serious. Jaal even takes a page from Sten and jokingly calls her bluff, leaving her as speechless as Morrigan was)

So yeah, your polyamory argument is completely irrelevant when the couple I'm talking about is a monogamous one and I'm honestly not even sure why you even brought that up considering that everything I've been talking about has been about couples in exclusive, monogamous relationships. And, maybe that's you, but once I found my wife my radar shut off completely towards other women. Ryder and Peebee can be in a monogamous relationship, but they don't have to be. The game actually does allow polyamory since Ryder can simultaneously romance Peebee, Keri, Reyes and (if playing Scott) Avela. You certainly can play your Ryder as purely monogamous, but PeeBee is one of the characters who doesn't lock you out if you're simultaneously going through another romance. Considering that other characters will be locked out to you if you go past a certain point with the other romances, that certainly suggests that Peebee is less invested in monogamy than say Cora or Vetra (whose content ends up being locked out at a point where Peebee's will still be available). That seems to be part of the character design. And none of that has anything to do with how people behave real life. I know flirty people in 20 year monogamous relationships, and much sterner people who have cheated. I don't think one has much of anything to do with the other.

I've been married to my wife for almost 12 years now (1st of July!) and we're both incorrigible flirts. But we both respect and trust each other to the point where we know, and I mean KNOW that it's nothing more than harmless joking and teasing. Hell, she'll wolf-whistle at some guy on the TV when I'm in the room, and laugh when I give her a dirty look, and vice versa. We've been through some rough times. We have 2 autistic kids, we've lost a house in the market crash, we both have stuff in our past that makes things hard at times... We have had every major thing that causes marriages to fail happen to us, with the exception of infidelity. But damn it all, we ain't gonna give up on each other, 'cause we're damn near the only thing (besides the kids) that's good in our lives. I only mention that to say that flirting with people other than your spouse/significant other isn't, in and of itself, anything to worry about. But that's a decision each couple has to make for themselves, where their limits are. I personally crack up when I hear Peebee and Jaal flirting in the Nomad, 'cause I get a very strong feeling of similarity between her and Ryder's relationship as I do between me and my wife. Was that a little weird? That was a little weird...I'll just show myself out...

Felt it was written by someone with disregard for the relationship. That said i don't see any issue with Isabela being her flirtatious self or the mild flirtatious comments peebee makes. It would seem perverse to me for her to feel the need to rain in her natural personality. I also don't think being flirtatious equates to necessarily being open to cheat.

I'm doing her on my right side now (where Cora used to be) and she's joining conversations now, which she wasn't doing before so maybe this was the reason. I'll see how it'll go.

Said something like "She likes rogues. Rivaini rogues only." with angry tone. And Tallis said she'll back off. That is one time when I decided to flirt with someone other than Isabela. I heard about that line and wanted to make sure that people just didn't make it up. And it's there. As for MP Isabela and Hawke. Well, we can't just assume BW decided that Hawke and Isabela are canon. Maybe their canon is Hawke and Anders. Of Hawke with Merrill. That means nothing, but I admit, I cringed a bit when I heard her lines. And Hawke's line about Izzy not having too much fun, it can be interpreted in a lots of ways. Doesn't mean their relationship is open. If that works for you, sure, go for it. But in my game in DA2 nothing ( except Zevran scene, which I could end ) indicated that their relationship is open. There were exclusive. And if BW decided that it's not anymore after DA2, then well, fuck that. I don't like when game makes choices for me. PS: Sifr I think we already had that conversation on the old BSN...

That line is one of a couple of things that always made be though Izzy was more partial to women, rather than a 50/50 kinda gal. I always import a Hawk who has romanced Izzy into DA:I (cos why would I romance anyone else, even in the Keep) and I always thought that 'too much fun' line was in reference to being a Pirate and going on adventures. I think BW meant for it to be open to interpretation, Izzy refers to lots of things as 'fun', sex, sailing, drinking, adventures etc and BW were trying to reflect that in one line.
As for open relationships in MEA, I don't think there are any. Open relationship implies that both parties know that it is open. And while I'm not sure about Reyes, Keri's dialogue suggests your LI doesn't know you are going out with her, which is not an open relationship.

Izzy was very jealous of my FemHawke during that scene. Said something like "She likes rogues. Rivaini rogues only." with angry tone. She said that to Male Hawke too.

And while I'm not sure about Reyes, Keri's dialogue suggests your LI doesn't know you are going out with her, which is not an open relationship. Yeah, Keri's dialogue implies more of a mistress-type relationship (although still implies non-monogamy on Ryder's part), but Peebee has a line on Kadara referring to Reyes as Ryder's boyfriend and then will still enter into a relationship with him/her (at a point when other characters won't) so that suggests that she's at least flexible on these things. Obviously no one's being forced to play that way, so maybe the characters can be defined differently within that specific playthrough. And fair enough (personally I played Ryder as someone who makes terrible decisions and other characters might be reacting specifically to that) but based on what the game shows us across all possibilities, it doesn't sound like possessiveness in relationships is a defining feature for her. Interesting! Wish the one with the longer black coat had been an option in the game.

Interesting! Wish the one with the longer black coat had been an option in the game. That is interesting about Reyes, I haven't romanced him (probably won't unless he grows on me during subsequent playthroughs) so I wasn't sure how Peebee reacted to him. I would've liked the option to be open with Peebee about Keri so it was a proper open relationship rather than Keri being Ryder's mistress, (with the option to not be open as well) Games rarely give the opportunity to explore that dynamic and while I thought the Keri fling was well done, it would've been nice to explore actually polyamory a bit, even if it was just a bit of extra dialogue.

Why does Peebee actually have eyebrows? I know Liara had them too, but they looked so artificial I rolled my eyes and accapted the birthmark explanation. But Peebee's eyebrows look like....you know, hairy eyebrows.
Design choice, because human faces without eyebrows freak us out maybe?

PB seems to be the first Asari with human-like eyebrows we meet. No idea how she got them since her dad is an elcor...

I noticed them a couple of days ago, since you can barely seem them with her Racoon Makeup, but now I'm obsessed with it. Why?

I believe the devs explained it's due to a rare recessive gene from her ancestors or something.
