Sara Ryder 'SisRyder' (Official Thread)

No, they actually confirmed it this time. They said you can still pause to look around, but your can't use powers or aim.
I'll try to find the tweets/links to it.

If Sara's ponytail does not bounce at least a little bit when she runs I will be disappointed.

The classless system may well eliminate any assignation of stats at the start of the game. My point here is that I want as much control over the character as possible, both during the game and before it starts.

Agreed. I still feel like my Shepard was at times unrecognisable to me in ME3, and Hawke just felt like three different people if you didn't choose the same tone reply all the time.

I guess they're being very picky about what constitutes a trailer, then, since the PS4 Demo apparently isn't one. I wonder if the gameplay will be considered one. The priority should be showcasing them fairly equally rather than straight alternating, because so far it's not even close to even. Again, there's still plenty of time for them to fix that, but still.

Nice idea for the names! I'll miss Meer and Hale Here are a couple of awesome pictures of them someone made, because I'm having a sad


Uh... Cutscenes in Bioware RPGs are rendered ingame, out of necessity (except ones without the protagonist). So yes, this is how he looks, unless he gets changed again. I mean, it's probably on PC with max settings, but still ingame.

Cool idea! One could also name them Alan and Sally

They would be meaningful to me. I'm not saying they shouldn't tell us the stats they currently do (total created characters), but I, personally, would like to know how many male and female characters finish the main story. It's as simple as being interested in different stats.

While I know how to make gifs (lots of fun and useful for my reaction pictures), I just quickly stole that one from the Scott thread

Cool to hear, thanks! That should help my eventual self-insert playthrough as well

I would also like a nice variety of options, but having a fairly neutral option among them is a wise choice, to avoid having to be so extreme if you don't want to, which was a huge problem in ME3 since it lacked a middle option.

Do you have an example of that?

Me too! Though I am hopeful for at least that, since they did have very minor hair physics in DA:I for Morrigan and Sera. And the one shot of her we've seen so far looked like it might have had her bangs move, so... Tentative face.

Ah, the beauty of diversity. I'm not firmly in either camp. I like my character to have a personality, but hopefully one I influence. I found Hawke and Shepard memorable for it. Obviously, they took too much control from the player in ME after the first game, especially in 3. I don't want them to assume things about my character or force them to say/do things, but I want them to actually express themselves like a person with feelings in dialogue. I just choose the dialogue. On the other end of the spectrum, I liked my Warden a lot, despite no voice, because of the wide variety of dialogue options as well as the personality those options had.

That doesn't make as much sense as I intended. Oh well, can't phrase it right right now.

Sounds like a mix of Laura Bailey and Kari Wahlgren. :/

Not sure I'm a fan of valley girl voices...

As for hair, I'm only looking forward for what the modders have to offer. I've given up on that with Bioware a long time ago.

Dashed hope for british accented protagonists... 

I'd wait till we hear more from the actual game. Some voice actors can sound really different from project to project. I remember not being thrilled when Alix Wilton Regan was announced for DAI, because I didn't like her Traynor voice, but I ended up loving her as Inquisitor.

That's your opinion. Again, there are other trailers that Bioware considered cinematic that had in-game models, while others didn't. And again, there are scenes in the trailer that seem to be taken from cutscenes (the 'you are a Pathfinder scene, when he's falling on the floor along the asari doctor, when he's sitting alone). And, again, they already shown to change Sara from the E3 trailer to the GI coverage.

All DAI trailers in the release year shown the in-game models (except one) and they were as cinematic as the N7 trailer. 
The tech demo can be from an older build, or can be the real rapresentetation of the game. We don't know that. 

You can't just watch the first video where she's putting on an accent (which if you went to her work page that I linked she explains) and say you're iffy about it lol. If you go look at more of her work I'm sure you'd feel better about her.

Personally I hated Traynor as my Inquisitor. As a British person it's nice to have a protags accent that wasn't American but like....nah I didn't like it XD

Yeah it was very grating. I think it's probably just because I've lived here all my life and I've never heard anyone speak with that accent, just seemed a bit fake to me? Even though she is British herself XD

Didn't mind her as Traynor but I didn't want her as Quizzi. But then again Sumalee's voice didn't suit my elf.
