Scott Ryder 'BroRyder' (Official Thread)

But...but...brown eyes are so boring (I have brown eyes, I should know )

You seriously think we won't have eye color options in the CC?
If it's about default Scott, it's another matter, but we never had that option anyway.

There are other rpgs which restrict backgrounds as well, not just Bioware.

Well, I can see where you're coming from...could we agree on green being a good color?

Sorry, I wasn't serious. I am only disappointed with all the restrictions, so I would not be surprised if the character editor disappoints me as well. Surely only Sara has shoulder-length hairstyles and the possibility to wear eyeliner... Yes, I think men can wear eyeliner too , but anyways... I  no longer think that bioware will give male characters the opportunity for long hair and eyeliner. But you may be lucky with the eye color. I think they'll allow to change it.

Because lots of people would have problems with a military guy who has long hair and wears eyeliner... If it was more accepted in society, maybe they would allow such a thing but I don't want to get my hopes up. It seems very unlikely in a Mass Effect game. I still remember the awful character editor of the trilogy. : (

But his hair style doesn't look feminine or androgynous...I'd like to create a more feminin looking guy... maybe I'm lucky this time, but I just cant imagine it. I wanted to play as a scientific shy and cute nerd, but as it seems this isn't possible, because science background is restricted to Sara. I think it's better I expect the worst for the character editor as well... just to not be disappointed again.

Yes, I'm on console...

Can't you basically choose Ryder's personality in the way you communicate via the discussion wheels at the bottom of screen? I know Paragon/Renegade isn't a system implemented this time around, but in fact is more complex and diverse? I think, @liarashepard regardless of character background chosen for Ryder (if there is no background that suits your tastes in a shy scientific broRyder) you can basically have him respond in such a way with that discussion wheel?

No? Yes? Huhwut?

ON ANUDDER NOTE, LOOK AT THIS EYE-EFFIN-CANDY!!! LOOOK AT HIMMMM LOOK.



If a Sheploo rendition fails, this is easily my plan B. Bioware can sure make some a-ok male protagonist defaults.

/fanbroing over

Yeah, I think people are taking this whole "set personality" thing REALLY out of proportion. You're going to have at least a couple of different backgrounds to choose from, and a bunch of different personalities and characters you can portray either Ryder. That's just fact, and it just sounds like some of you are just looking for reasons to complain and/or feel superior over the company.

Nope, they did clarify the Arcturus and Prothean archives backgrounds are set in stone. But both seems to be soldiers missions. So while the PA one might be more interesting to some, it's not really a scientific background. That might come up with the training choice.

Maybe they aren't expertes, but I still think it's their main area of interests. I suspect that Sara, by working with the scientists, knows more about science than Scott. And since she likes the work with such persons, I suspect that she also deals more with scientific topics, while Scott probably has little to do with it. We do not know one hundred percent how the two will be different, but I think their background profile and the Voice Actor videos are a good reference. My guess is that Sara is smarter, tougher, and more extravert than Scott. Scott, on the other hand, is more diplomatic and quieter. And yes, both seem to have humor. I still think that there are also differences in the way they express it. But that is, as I said, only my strong guess.
