Speculate Our Final Sidekick's Species

Bio completely fumbled in part 3 when they made redhead MILF nurse recruitable but not bangable.



Chakwas had to be excluded from our team to make room for the redhead yet there was no screw her option.



Plus she was the only Slavic and redhead in the entire trilogy.  



You have to ask WTH was the dork who was responsible for this mess thinking.

While I may have lost faith in the ability of Bioware to produce a good central narrative in their games that doesn't insult our intelligence, I still believe one thing they do right and are consistently at the top of the class are in creating unique and interesting characters in their rpgs.

Sure occasionally you get some dull characters, but then you also get some of the best characters ever made, ie Mordin, Legion, Wrex.

I am going to guess that Vetra might have some surprises in store for us and while she might end up playing by the turian textbook I'm guessing there will be something unique and deep about her character.

Don't wet yourself so fast.

Asorry are a buncha dipshits who sat aside when Reapers were raping the galaxy.

Turians are men of action and one of the first to go kill Reaps with humans.

It takes lotta practice to be Negan or Zaeed.

I guess Turians are like the east asians of ME universe.  Competent but not super nice with the words.

You wanted a male Turian?

Any new char gets an uphill battle when compared to Garrus.  Not only was he the designated best friend he also had 3 diff games to win people over.

Remmy the Remnant. Did anyone say that yet? I only read OP's first post.

A male Andromeda native and a feminine Remnant programming synthetic. The synthetic one will be the cut companion if there's only 6 .

I want to say the 6th and 7th companion will both be natives of Andromeda, however, what is the likelihood we will get two Andromedans to trust us enough to come with us, and us trusting them in turn? Not that high, which makes me think the 7th will come with us from the Milky Way.

We have a Turian, a Krogan, an Asari and two human companions already. What races does that leave us? Quarian, Salarian, Drell, Vorcha and Volus. The other races aren't humanoid, therefore animating them to the extent of a companion would be too much in my opinion. I don't think BioWare would bother.

We know Salarians are in Andromeda with us. If the Salarian we have seen is our pilot, that would remove him or her from our roster of companions. I can't see there being two major Salarians on board the Tempest. Same goes for the other races. Having more than one major one would be overkill (with the exception of humans).

I don't think the 7th will be a Drell. I don't think Drell will even come with us because there are so few of them in general. I also don't think we'll get a Vorcha companion. They just come off as an angry Krogan, and we already have a Krogan. That leaves Quarians and Volus.

To be honest, I can't picture either of them being a companion.

If the rumour is that we have an AI companion, I also cannot see that happening. Not in this game any way. The Geth in Mass Effect are still looked at with fear in Mass Effect 3 by most of the Galaxy. What, everyone joining the Andromeda Initiative is more open minded to potentially dangerous AI's? Unlikely. And a VI companion won't really be a companion, will it.

So that leaves it to being another Andromedan. I can accept that, though our (Andromeda Initiative) interaction upon reaching Andromeda needs to be met with open arms and without violence for me to buy it.

I like how you reasoned through it all.

It's definitely an Andromedan species. They already said they would include at least one, and even if a squadmate has been dropped since then I can't see a species from a different galaxy not having enough enough material to work with or being too similar to a previous character.
