Sara Ryder 'SisRyder' (Official Thread)

Sara looks better in this newest gameplay trailer! It's nice to see the constant improvement of her model.

I am super pleased with Sara in the gameplay trailer. She looks like a real character, not an amalgam of plastic sliders. I noticed a lot of male Shepards stuck with the original John model because he was so well done and he was iconic so his model was used a lot in videos by default. I feel that Sara has reached that threshold, where people may choose to stick with this model instead of customizing a new one. She's very well done. I still plan on customizing, but just saying props, the female protagonist has arrived. It's a forward march from the days of ME1 Jane. Good job, Bioware.

Maybe update the OP with this image? It's more up to date then the one we have now. What do you think SofaJockey ?

Yaaay, bioware finally looked at a real ponytail and it doesn't stick half a meter away from the head

I never could use tails and buns in the trilogy because of that

Few grabs from the intro:

Something about the way she smiles makes me think of a teen who just got their braces taken off, lol.

I hope the huge open mouth smile is optional. Much prefer closed mouth smiles. 

It's not just me, right? You guys also notice that her casual outfit here is different than we saw in a different screenshot, right? I'm referring to the one with Nakmor Kesh.

Hopefully, this indicates we have multiple options for casual outfits, besides the one you can get with the pre-order of course.

EDIT: Wait, nope, it's the same one. Damn.

Can you make it somewhere tropical? Nice, warm ocean. Summer year round.

We need to find our Andromedan Virmire then for our first quest.

Sara... looking good!
Thank the Maker cause I did NOT like default Fem Sheps look. Sorry >_>

Finally, the bob from the front! A bit more swept than I hoped for, but it'll do.

Yeah, not my favourite either, but at least it isn't boob armour. Also, C8 ???

Prepare to be disappointed then We won't see customization that intricate for a long time. A long time /Obi-wan.

This is pretty much the first time we're actually seeing open-mouthed grins or smiles in Bioware games, actually. If they can pull it off, more power to 'em. But this one looks a bit awkward so far. See below:

It would help to see the scene properly, because like the VGA trailer, I can't really tell exactly what her expression is supposed to be, here I mean, I think she's grinning, but it looks like an unusual grin.


Anyway, I feel like I'm the only one who isn't enamoured by Sara at this point, ha. I don't know if I'm just bad with faces, but I haven't really noticed much change, positive or negative, in this trailer or any others. Maybe if someone did a shot-beside-shot comparison? Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely glad she looks like a normal person, but I feel like the odd-one-out right now with all this fangirling happening around me
