Scott Ryder 'BroRyder' (Official Thread)

I disagree.  Just because Asari display the external characteristics of a humanoid female doesn't mean they are female.  You literally can't have female without male, one can't exist without the other.  That doesn't mean they didn't realise that such a distinction could exist, but then we humans know hermaphroditic animals where both mates can "get pregnant".  We apply the male/female distinction on these animals if only one gets pregnant (or if one happens to lose its male organ) purely for our convenience, it's nonsensical otherwise.  The Asari already understood the world without this male/female distinction, adding this dichotomy to their understanding of themselves would serve no purpose except only for the understanding other (read sexually dimorphic) species.  The Asari do distinguish between father and mother, but we must be careful here to equate (or translate that) that to male/female.  The universal translate might translate this dichotomy as male/female, but be aware of the possibility that this is due to the incapability of the languages of sexually dimoprhic species to encapsulate the Asari reality any other way.

TL:DR we humans assign male and female to animals for our ease of understanding as well as biological truth.  Those reasons aren't valid for the Asari.

We absolutely can. We do here on Earth. There are several species of lizards for example that are all female and reproduce through parthenogenesis, just like the Asari.

So biologically it is possible, and the lore states they are an all-female race. Ergo, they are all female. 

We now know the history of Thessia. After all Liara knows what dinosaurs are.

My male Ryder will be quietly confident (even if that confidence may be a little misplaced) with a good sense of humor. Mine is a little bit of an introvert but does fine when meeting and working with people, but just likes his alone time. He likes to read a lot. Enjoys science and working out.

his hands are my freakin addiction >_> seeeexy

I'm always be the sarcastic goodie hero, nerdy if they let me, purple Hawke is one of the best character that have ever existed. I'm on the fence if I will customize his face though, the CC in MET was a thing of abominations, so Sheploo all the way, but if the CC of MEA is as good as in DAI I'm in.


I'm only seeing his boobs there  

That is so cool! I love it! Bro and sis hanging out.

Not sure if this has been posted but it's a good interview. I liked the Nolan North discussion around the nine minute mark.  After listening to this, I'm even more pumped to play as Scott Ryder especially when the voice actor was already a huge fan of Mass Effect and Bioware games.

I think you're taking it all a little too seriously....don't think Bioware took the time to truly consider if the Blue space ladies would really have a concept of gender without the other species around them. 

Agreed.

On-topic: I'm not sure what personality my BroRyder will be. I might go for annoying older brother because I really hope we can tease the hell out of our sister and just be a loving "jerk" to her. Other than that, I haven't really decided. Usually as I create my character in the CC, then their personality comes to me.

The way he's sticking out his chest... That can't be a comfortable pose

He also doesn't look that tall ... so big plus for me in for that. Around 170-5cm?  About 5'7"-5'8" ish?

Mmmm.  Moobs
