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

Thats an excellent prediction Spat and one I hope is true as well.

Maybe her family stayed to fight the Reapers on Palaven and Garrus told her family about the Reapers and thus they wanted to stay.

Your speculation was something I was thinking, but yours was more detailed. I can definitely see that happening.

I really appreciate that they put in the extra effort for Vetra. It was really obvious how hard they worked on Iron Bull. I didn't know if they said "never again" or what. Just had no idea if they felt that was worth the extra effort on their side of things. I hope they keep this momentum going.

I'm fine with there being casuals, however in Vetra's case, I hope there is more conversational tango going on rather than "Hey space lady, lets bang." and that's all it takes.

Yea I think it has

Also, its kinda funny how 99% of Vetra art assumes only femRyder will hit on Vetra.
I think a lot of us guys will be "attacking" Vetra right off the bat the moment we first meet her

Of course. Just wait until people start going crazy over her voice.

I doubt there's a particular reason. They didn't reveal Liam and Cora's voice either.

She'll have a British accent.

I'm still leaning toward not a good turian for Vetra. In a totally different way than Garrus, of course, as the devs reportedly went so far as to cut squadmates thought too similar to other characters. And actually Garrus really wasn't that bad a turian - he was dutiful, honorable for the most part, interested in the greater good, and was fine deferring to authority provided it had earned his respect. He also tended to agree with the turian point of view on most issues. Anyway, a good turian, with her duty to Palavan and respect for tradition, wouldn't necessary go on some wild foray into the unknown.

Which leaves some intriguing possibilities:

All the 'hippy' accusations in the Tempest thread make me wonder if she's just not into the turian values of military and war. Maybe she likes the idea of joining a more diplomatic effort away from the 'good' turians who want to police the galaxy. Or maybe she's a former mercenary, who would no longer be welcome among her own if she wanted to shift gears away from that life.

It'd be interesting if she were a turian with a very un-turian personality. Someone really snarky and irreverent, or someone very sweet and friendly, or, conversely, violent and reactive. Not necessarily saying she'll be any of these things, but I think Andromeda gives us a neat opportunity to meet characters who don't quite fit with what we expect of their species. And I would personally find Vetra a lot more interesting if she was the opposite of a by-the-book turian, in whatever capacity.

Also, I'd love to hear her speak already. Or at least know her VA. The fact that they're leaving us so in the dark about our squad (which is like 90% of the reason I'm so in love with Bioware games) is driving me nuts!

Stephen Hawking much ?

I think she is going to be a way too beautiful character to make her mute.
I hope they will give her a soothing voice, that will be delightful to listen to.

Sorry Garrus, but now its finally time for Vetra to take the podium.

Here is hoping, that she will be a great successor

It would feel like a waste to handicap Vetra's ability to naturally/fully express herself.
That is my feeling.
Fortunately, we have no reason to believe she is mute.
