Scott Ryder 'BroRyder' (Official Thread)

albapalacio.tumblr.com/post/153734720841  this one for example:)

I totally thought this dude looked similar to me, with a few minor differences, until I saw the scene in which he and Dr. Lexi tumble to the ground. That was when I first saw the ears. The more I see him, the less we look alike. The only scene in which we even look similar is in that profile scene in which he's looking out into the desert. That's probably good, for the whole "uncanny weirdness" thing.

I'll certainly be using Scott at some point, though he may not be called Scott, and he may not have this face (and certainly not those ears). I thought I might play as BroRyder first, this time, but that will likely be up in the air until I actually exit the character creator. I still feel like I've barely heard his voice, so I'll be eagerly awaiting the next video they decide to share with us. The visuals get better each time, so who knows how he might change between now and then?

I actually prefer making my own characters, but I might roll a default Scott Ryder once. He looks really good--ears and all. I really don't get the ear hate but whatever.

On another note, I'm glad we got to hear some Sara in this last teaser, but I am also really looking forward to seeing more of Scott in the next reveal. I'd like to hear more dialogue to see how he is going to sound in character. The 4k reveal was not enough for me.

So it occurs to me that when we play SisRyder, Scott will have to have some kind of default personality when we interact with him. What kind of default personality or relationship with Sara (or the father too I guess) would you hope for in this game?

Fabulous, just fabulous. 

Great. Can't make 'my' character look like I want, and now not even act or think like I want. 

Them setting up assumptions and predefined things means that we are limited in how we can play Ryder, something I was hoping they'd avoid. I wanted something like the Warden or Inquisitor, not Hawke or Shepard(in later games).

The predefined relationships are likely to be the ones with your father, sibling, and that man we saw running with the PC in the image preview (Liam?) as your friend. Of course, that doesn't imply that you won't be able to change those relationships.

I'll cheer up when there is something to cheer up about. So far every piece of good news has been a double-edged sword or met with several pieces of bad news. I want to like this game, but there is a lot that makes me disheartened about it.

Sure you can. I just did it in DAI. 

I wouldn't call it nearly universal. I saw many people who enjoyed the Inquisitor, at least as many who didn't enjoy them. And many of those who didn't wasn't because of them being unattached but for other reasons, and for many many those were fixed come Trespasser.
I didn't site DAO for backstory, I cited it for the options available to the player, since once we get through the origins(my least favorite part of DAO) the Warden is like the Inquisitor. 

I liked Shepard in ME1, but starting in ME2 and really in ME3 I lost connection to them because Bioware assumed too many things about their character. So if Ryder is like that, it doesn't give me much confidence. Inquisitor is my favorite Bioware protagonist since Revan in KOTOR.
