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

Bioware also has a history of subverting previous expectations, and a strong, possibly stoic woman who just happens to be gay or bi provides new opportunities the writers can explore.

Awww thats a cute avatar pic Tempest! Where did you get it? Who made it n can I have a link?

I like the idea of a Lawful Neutral, by-the-book type character. It would be a nice contrast to Garrus.

Also, if she is not romanceable by broRyder, she might be enough to turn me temporarily gay.

Wow. I didn't know this. Thanks. I always envisioned Turians as taller (and stronger) than humans. When I saw Vetra's height I was quite pleased (and it is nice to know this was always the intent).

And in ME3 when Shepard goes to fetch the Quarians, if you romanced Tali you get a cute little scene of them flirting. What was odd is that they messed with the camera (made Shepard closer to the camera and Tali farther back) to create the illusion that Tali was shorter than Shepard (which was odd since she is actually taller than male Shepard). Apparently that was supposed to be Canon as well?

Well, your Ryder is going to get his/her neck hurt after talking with a Turian.

There is a moment in the Dec 2nd footage where male human NPC and female turian NPC stand next to each other and are basically the same height.
So either Vetra is a very tall female turian or human men are noticeably taller on average, than human women (this would seem reasonable).

That could be a fun little quirk to add with FemRyder. I can imagine the Ryder twins growing up with him keeping things out of her reach and quickly learning to punch him in the gut and stuff.

Actually, now that I think about it, can paternal twins have a height difference?

Ah, thanks for the info. I love science but I'm absolutely awful at it.

I think all squadmates will be romanceable.
There are so few of them (6 or 7?), that it would feel kinda lazy to make only few of them romanceable, UNLESS there would be some reasonable plot reasons (for ex. given squadmate already has an established relationship with other character, but its very unlikely).

I don't see why every companions needs to be romanceable, or what it would be 'lazy'. It takes the same time to write a romance for a companions or a crew member.
Bioware is extending the romance content outside of the squad for years, betwee ME and DAI. While this game is supposed to have the highest number of romances, they never said most will be in the squad. DAI already shown Bioware is willing to have some romances outside the squad and not giving two options (for straight and lesbians) in the squad even when they decided to increase the minimum number of romance for everyone to 2. It'll likely work the same way in Andromeda.
I doubt it'll top ME2's 6 romances in the squad. For example, I highly doubt Drack will be a romance option.
While I do think Vetra has good chances of being a romance option, basing it on the number of squadmates and Bioware making all of them romanceable doesn't really support it, in my opinion.
