Sara Ryder 'SisRyder' (Official Thread)

I feel like DA:I was also an attempt to combine both types, as I mentioned, and it didn't work out so well... for me. Hopefully I like Ryder more. It would be somewhat ironic otherwise, too

I'm excited about more sarcastic options! Hopefully they're funny.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. One vague tweet isn't enough for us to make any conclusions either way. We'll likely have to wait until release to generate any solid opinions about Ryder as a character.

Huh, what are the odds? That's pretty cool. Can you have spaces and therefore multiple names as your "first name" in Bioware games?

I have a rather odd name coincidence too: my name being Ryder I never expected that would be the name of a Bioware protagonist! I still double-take whenever it's used, and my first thought when it is is that people are talking about me. Which sucks when they're calling Ryder ugly etc.  I don't think it'll ever not be weird, and it'll be quite a bit more weird to actually hear it ingame, said by companions and possibly even a romance It also means I have to do a self-insert playthrough, but I have no idea what I'd put as her first name, since Ryder Ryder is... yeah. Could always go with Captain/Pathfinder I suppose. I know I've mentioned it before, but it's just sooooo weird for me

But haven't you said they fixed those problems you had in the Trespasser DLC, or at least made progress? If so I don't see why MEA can't similarly have learned that lesson. 
That's right, you are another friend of mine who shares a name with the twins, though this time their last is your first.

Yeah, I can imagine that being Ryder's voice. Totally. Like it, even.

Yeah, from what they have described so far it sounds like Trespasser Inquisitor with some more predetermined things like family(hoping you can choose relationship you have with them though).
Both. I have two friends, brother and sister, who are named Scott and Sarah and both love the franchise.

I don't know if this has been mentioned before... and it may be just me.. but default SisRyder eerily resembles Allison Tolman from Fargo (the TV show.) Allison is a little fuller in the face but geez I started watching the series this past week and I thought OMG ITS SARA.

(I'd post a side by side comparison but I'm on mobile)

I saw that part of the thread (Google Advanced Search is handy), but Ian has also confirmed that we can pause combat to survey the battlefield. That's all the pause-to-aim feature was before. So either they've done something unexpected with the camera (perhaps detaching it when paused like DAI's tactical camera, or having it snap back to where it was when the game unpauses, or something else creative), or Ian's not actually talking about the thing we think he's talking about.

It may well no longer be possible to trigger abilities or give orders while paused (this would be unfortunate, but I expect it to be the case), but the simplest application of the combat pause would allow aiming just like the ME trilogy did. It's also worth noting that pause-to-aim in ME3 worked quite differently on PC as compared to consoles, and BioWare's typical approach to design these days is to assume that everyone uses a controller and not worry about KBM, which opens the possibility that there will be more ways to exploit the design with KBM.

I don't think Ian has yet provided us with a meaningful answer.

Not liking her face, or the animations of it. She looks really young though, much younger than BroRyder. She'll grow out of it.

I liked the facial animations in one scene, but not in another. I hope, at the very least, that the lip-syncing is locked tight.

I'll admit I kind of like the baby face. I never use pre generated faces, excepting Sheploo and his unmatchable textures. Sara's baby face is pretty good, though. I might actually use it, at some point.

I also like the voice. I saw no point in checking Frydda's other work, since she may have sounded completely different as Ryder. I like her voice, now that I've heard it. I'm glad for that, since we will be spending a lot of time together.

I am so pleased with her mocapped walk and jog animations. No more DA2/ME3 "sexy run," thank goodness!

I'd have preferred there being a few walks to choose from. 

The game would never get finished, though, if they included every single option imaginable. The rabbit hole goes down, down, down...

I liked Sara's build. She looked kind of petite and athletic. I was slightly less enthused when Sloane had the same exact build, but I'm withholding judgment. I'm hoping for more variety than the OT, in which everyone was built on the same rig.

I disliked it, not because it was "sexy", but because I thought it looked fake. Shepard seemed to float through the environment in subtle slow-motion, and her steps thudded like an elcor carrying a tank. It was really weird.

I hated her dude walk in ME2, as well. Her walk in ME, taken from Jade Empire, was the best of the three, in my opinion. It was pretty "sexy", but it was the most believable of the three.
