Sara Ryder 'SisRyder' (Official Thread)

We need Moar Sara n Vetra

That's biggest thing I have issue with right now since I already have names for both twins figured out. It's not huge problem, but something that will surely irritate me in the game when I hear it. You aren't supposed to be Scott, you are Norman! and so on. Kinda my fault though, for starting to plan player characters before knowing stuff like that ^^;

Pffft. I'll just give Scott a different haircut. Then play Sara anyway. Shits and giggles, folks, shits and giggles.

I think I just found hair for my Sara

It is MP character, but why wouldn't it be available in CC? *runs off to ask someone on twitter*

I agree with all your points but all I'm worried about is if bioware will go with the we want to make our mp characters have a unique look to sp characters path

Ooh, I saw that too! I wish they showed it from the front. But the texture looks good and it's a nice deep shade of black - not dark blue-grey like DAI's black. As someone who almost always plays brunettes, this pleases me.

NICE! This gives me hope for some awesome hair physics in game.

I just wonder if I am going to get invested in this not!femshep as I did in, well, femshep.

I guess that was the product of the voice actor and using the same woman over 3 games and ~100 hours, so it is probably an unfair comparison and quite unique.

Fingers crossed eh. Got to be better than the inquisitoress.

1.) And what's wrong with nicknames? It's faster to write Rydude/Rydette than male/female Ryder
2.) Because fiction, escapism and because they can. If you don't like it, there is option to make your own face for the character.
3.) PoV shift? No thanks. And the other scenario, Cora can be be 2nd squad leader if there is mission like that, she is Alec's 2nd in command (and after you take over yours I would assume). And anyway, who don't you wait to see what is the sibling's actual role in the game before complaining

Yeah... wish they did. Hopefully that won't happen again this time with the Pathfinder casual outfit, assuming it's as nice/iconic (they should do a deluxe edition 30-second trailer like they did for the pre-order bonuses to show it off).

Couldn't agree more, so much potential! Well, some people are wondering if we can, in fact, use two hair colours since it looks like Cora has two, but I'm skeptical since companions often have unique looks (what, the main character and hero isn't supposed to look iconic, too?). Here's hoping for that and colour-wheels, though! Depending on what the front of the bob (below) looks like, and if those systems are in, you should actually be able to approximate your Mandalorian! Having a jump-pack helps, too.

You should! It's really nice. And one of the only stylish pieces of clothing I have  I was lucky and got it on a good Christmas sale.

That's a pretty awesome story, 100% accurate or not

So, can we extrapolate from those descriptions that Scott is ambitious and potentially jealous and Sara is geeky and into science? While I'm adamant that not letting us decide these things ourselves is freaking stupid, that being true about Sara would be a dream come true for me - a Bioware protagonist who's geeky and smart.

Apparently that one "doesn't count", no. Like the Playstation demo. Convenient that all the ones that don't count show off more of Scott, huh? And he has not one, but two cinematic trailers, so far. Arguably the most important trailers as well as most meaningful to show off one Ryder or the other since gameplay is identical between them and we usually see them from the back, possibly helmeted and not talking in those. It just irks me.

I don't actually care how many trailers each gets, I just want relatively equal screentime. So far there is still much more Scott than Sara. And for the millionth time: Why not just have both in the same trailer? They exist at the same time!

Same here! And that was one of the most annoying things about Shepard by far (so it isn't surprising that it's also something that overrides RP). It was even more annoying in situations where Shepard should really know these things already, not go "and that is/means?". Like talking to Adams about the upgraded stealth drive. There is no possible way the captain of a ship wouldn't know the basics of their own ship's functions. Especially not an N7. Blarg! And the solution to this is so simple! Just have the protagonist do the exposition instead! Not "And that, Commander, means this", but "Oh, so that means we'll be able to stay in stealth mode longer, I gotcha". You know, paraphrased. Same word budget.

No, you can't. Too soon...


It'll always be too soon...

Oh, that's weird. I thought neither had models this time. Neither of them really looked like models to me, either.

Hmm... I hope we can edit them in the CC this time! A lot of people want to use their look as a baseline. At least we know (almost) that we can use their hairstyles for custom characters, either way.

It's because visors have replaced them for fashion and function Even in Andromeda, apparently (Jaal)! It would be kind of cool if we could attach one to our Ryder in the CC rather than just as a helmet.

Well, to be fair, we haven't seen many characters yet, so it could still go in any direction

It's been ages. What couldn't Traynor get fixed?

Both, at some point. Current plan is to use Sara on my first run, something else after (like for my awkward self-insert).

I feel like stuff like time in the menus and CC shouldn't count towards that time-limit. It makes no sense. Surely it wouldn't be that hard to only make it apply to gameplay.

As you probably saw, bob cut is a thing! My characters usually sport something similar, so this is good news! Well, if I like it from the front. I hope!


And yeah, I'm thinking of being an Engineer, too, to maximize the geeky personality I'll be aiming for. And tech powers are underrated

I'm the opposite. Sort of. I'm also boring like that, but don't use my real name for characters. Not that I'll have a choice this time around, ha. Should be pretty odd for us both to hear our names said aloud by the characters

Perfect gif And yup, this is one of the first things I thought of after hearing the protagonist was called Ryder. Very, very awkward, though I doubt I'll romance anyone at this point anyway.

I don't understand all the N7 marketing related to the Ryder twins I'd actually rather the default white and blue armour for a figure. And no helmet! This, especially with the helmet, just seems too much like a Shepard wannabe. I'd get a Shepard figure instead!



Not sure on the details yet, and likely won't be until I'm in the CC, but I'm thinking of making my canon a redhead this time, since I don't have any (except one with auburn hair). She'll still probably end up being pale with freckles, possibly green eyes, though, like a lot of my characters. If not, black, to avoid looking like my second character, a self-insert with brown hair. But I need to see the CC and RP options to know if I'll even bother with that one.

Don't sell yourself short, those are great! There are lots of different styles to draw in. Also, no matter how bad you think you are, there's always someone worse, like me

Your avatar is awesome and I wish I made it! I like shots of both Shepards together. Or videos, like the VGA ones


I don't mind people not using them in their first posts, but I try to put them in my replies if I respond to them, to avoid clutter. That said, I also spoiler my own sometimes, for length.

Speaking of which, sorry for the huge post! Been a few days.

1. Yes they do have names, Norman and Mandy. But nobody would have any idea who I'm talking about if I used names of my Ryders. I'm somewhat peeved of people using Sara and Scott myself since those are just presets nothing more to me, it's not like people used John and Jane when talking about Shepards. So BroRyder and SisRyder make most sense to me. Female Ryder and Male Ryder are longer to write and too close to Shepards.
