Vetra Nyx, Maker Bless Sheryl Chee! (Official Thread)

When you look at the bios on the website, Liam has Havoc Strike, so he is a soldier. And Jaal has sniper rifle on his funko pop, which leads to assumption of him being an infiltrator.

And yes, they did atypical squadmate classes before, but they always still fit the general theme of the class.

Of course, these are all speculation so I might be wrong, but it is very...rational speculation

You're not wrong...though to be honest, only info I want now is bio for the rest of the squad, romance info (whether we will get it is questionable), and some gameplay. If we get this, I will be content...and barring that, well, we will have it all after the origin subscription thingie pre-release

Not sure if posted:

So I'm gonna be posting some stuff regarding the romance leaks and Vetra's chances of being an LI based off what I know and what I believe. So if you don't want to know anything about the leaks then don't look at the spoiler tag. I imagine most don't care though and it's not got any real plot spoilers so don't worry about any of that. 

They may not, but DaveLiam, who has a few very good sources seems to think they're gonna try to keep all the main LI's (Squad/crew options.) Balanced, while the flings and such you can find on planets might not be. 

Nothings confirmed but the leaks all seem to lean in that direction. It's agreed upon by pretty much everyone that Liam and Cora are gonna be straight romance options. (Much to my disappointment. I was hoping Liam would be bi. But I'm planning on doing a second play-through with sisryder anyway.)

Since Peebee's confirmed as an LI we really didn't need a leak to confirm she would be bi. If a LI is Asari. You can guarantee they'll be bi. Jaal was also pretty much confirmed on twitter and it seems like he'll be bi too.

While they did claim we'd have more romances than we have before. They never said they'd be fleshed out, so I'm thinking we might have 2 crew members that are full LI's and then a number of flings.

I was hoping to get some good discussion going with all this so if you have a different perspective by all means tell me how you think things will go. I'm always down for some good ol' romance speculation. 

I hadn't even thought of that, thank you. I don't wanna fill your thread up with my romance speculation. 

The reason I get that vibe from her wasn't because of her line in the trailer, in fact when I first watched the trailers (both the gameplay and the cinematic) I didn't think that about her at all, from the way she carried herself in general. It was when I saw this on the mass effect website



that I thought, "Oh, she seems like she could be the caring, more responsible one in the team, kinda like the mom of the group" if she cares more about family and relationships than adventures and exploration in a new galaxy. And her line in the latest trailer seemed to back that up. Of course, anyone could've said that because, as you mentioned, it's obviously a bad idea. And the "family ties" thing could imply a spouse, though it could be parents or siblings. However the "more important than venturing deeper into the galaxy" part makes me think she might be a bit reluctant to join our team because she'd be leaving family behind, and that sounds to me like she doesn't want to leave her significant other. I wonder what it will take to convince her? I'm just speculating, though. 

What also makes me think she might not be romance option is the leaks we've heard about the romances as Ceoldoren mentioned. And if she is the mom of the group, they might be going for more of a "caring friend who is like a mentor for Ryder" thing with her. At first I didn't like the idea of her being the mom of the group that much because I was hoping for something different from her, but I think the idea kinda grew on me. I think she could be really sweet but also badass, and just be a good friend to our young and inexperienced Ryder, being there for them.


PS: I'm not assuming anything. We don't know much about the characters, especially Vetra, and I'm only speculating. The only thing anyone can do at this point is just speculate. There's nothing wrong with that. I want her to be a romance option as much as everyone, but I'm just saying that maybe we should't get our hopes up so much because nothing is confirmed yet, and her not being a LI is a possibility. It's better to be pleasantly surprised than be disappointed imo.

I actually never thought of that, that she might actually regret coming to Andromeda. I like that idea! We know Andromeda Initiative is made up of volunteers, so if after coming (and probably seeing this "new galaxy" for how dangerous it really is) she regrets her decision, it could be interesting to see how that affects her. Honestly, imagine traveling 2.5 million light years and regretting it. That might be why she doesn't get along with Peebee (that was the impression I got as well), since she seems very excited about coming to Andromeda. I get the feeling she can be kinda reckless as well, so Vetra may not approve of that. At all. 

Also lol sign me up for squadmate bickering  I live for squadmate banter (especially in DA) and bickering would probably be hilarous. I wonder if it would eventually turn into a romance between Vetra and Peebee... I'm not really seeing it tbh, but the way Mac Walters said it, "wait until you see that relationship blossom" (it's somewhere in this video iirc) or something along those lines. I wasn't sure if he meant romance or a lot of arguing, but I decided he just meant the latter. But I mean. Why not both? It could be a "you're insufferable but I can't resist you" sort of thing, although maybe that's a bit too much like Iron Bull/Dorian. Anyway, it was just a thought. I think it's very unlikely.

Edit: it is indeed in that video, and it's around 19:16 - but watching that video again I noticed that right before that he was talking about male and females of all species in the game being represented, but he specifically said "if the species has males and females, you will see males and females" he could just be referring to the Asari but idk... maybe he was hinting that there's a new monogendered species in Andromeda? I bet it's the Kett. (but I guess that's kinda off topic sorry)

The Character Kit for PeeBee was released 4 days ago (I think)
The Kits for Sara and Scott were released today.

So I think the Character Kit for Vetra will arrive pretty soon.

Hmm, it hadn't occurred to me that Vetra might be a "team mom" ... though there was something about her voice in the one line she had in the newest trailer that made me wonder if she's a little older than Ryder, Liam, and Cora, now that I think about it. Can't quite put my finger on it. But that'd add a really interesting dynamic to their romance, if there is one, if she's older and more experienced with combat while Ryder is kinda "ready, fire, aim" at the beginning. I could see her taking a liking to him if he actually listens to her advice and learns from her, and maybe she'd gradually find herself falling back into old patterns from the days when she was less experienced and more impulsive, and wouldn't know what to make of it. She could help him grow more mature and she could learn to appreciate the adventure they're all on.

The idea of her regretting coming to Andromeda is intriguing, too. If she left her parents and any siblings behind, that'd obviously be rough on her. Maybe she had someone she was very close to, but they broke up just before she left and she's still in a bit of turmoil, wondering if she should've tried to work things out instead of leaving the galaxy. Could be an obstacle to overcome if she's romanceable. Or maybe the one she left behind was a human and she caught so much shit from her family over it that she pushed him away, and now she sees it as a mistake, and a turning point in the romance could be her accepting that she doesn't have to worry about what anyone else thinks anymore.

Or it could be something as simple as homesickness. Missing her home on Palaven, that little park her parents took her to when she was a kid, the ship she spent the best years of her life serving on, the friends she left behind. If she's been on the Nexus for a while before Ryder arrived, she'd have plenty of time for all this stuff to weigh her down.

Heh ... we wouldn't have to do all this speculating if they'd just release some info on her, already.   I'm expecting to find out that I'm way off the mark on all this stuff, but it would make for a fascinating character. 

Haha, a scene just came together in my head while typing this. While the team's exploring a planet, descending a slope into a valley ...


Heh ... gotta paste that into my notes file just in case nothing even remotely like that happens in the game.   Can always use it for a couple of my own characters ....

So I just registered like several days ago, so I might've missed this being brought up, but about a month ago Game Informer talked to Mac Walters for their podcast show. At one point, Walters mentions that Vetra and Peebee will have an interesting relationship and that we should look forward to seeing how it blossoms.

(Around 18:58)

It's super vague of course, and the possibilities are endless. But maybe since Peebee is an LI, Vetra is an LI too and they can get together if you don't romance either? I'd rather that a million times more than Vetra not being an LI haha.
