Reyes Vidal - No longer A Mystery (Official Thread)

I became more of a Cora fan after putting Cora and Vetra together in the squad. They are so sweet and adorable together- it really motivates me to kinda explore their friendship. Their banter, although nothing really exciting, is MUCH better than Liam and Vetra attack fest. (#teamVetra btw)

I loved it----- might've googled "futuristic dress" to find it

Maybe we need an NSFW Reyes PM group.

Rofl. And just like that you make it even better. Sad that you can't really expect people to appreciate things that require some thinking on their part, whether it's just an attempt to make sense of a bug, or the stuff that is intentional.

Wonder how the translators really work, though. This is advanced 23rd century or so tech, it should not do embarassing stuff like translate names. (I'm the one to talk, you know, I can't let go of the fact whenever I see him and it doesn't help telling myself that there are likely to be many people with that name ). It never translates names for us though.. would be fair to know what Vetra means... But then, reyes is a commonly used word, easily translatable, few names are like that.

Edit of my own: and every squadmate is equally guilty (except for Liam, perhaps, and this is like the first time ever Liam's off the hook. he just makes the comment a casual tease. and Drack, who doesn't give a quad, lol) Seeing someone flirting once doesn't justify any assumptions about the relationship between the flirting parties. (i'm not complaining in any way. i love that they comment. It would just make more sense if they commented a bit later when the development is apparent. But as it is, I just have my ryder go "huh. what?" obsessively considering how the hell they got to an assumption like that, (hell, she herself doen't know she likes him at that point) quip something back, and make a funny scene out of it.)
If Reyes isn't romanced, they probably say nothing of the sort, do they?

This is gold. Sara is chill about it as well. Maybe it was just Vetra calling him baroness then which was buggy? Make baron out of it and it's fine?

(Sara is bugged now imo, getting both of Vetra's talks. The other companions don't do that).



Yes, you have to flirt in Tartarus to get the romance banter for the Roekaar mission. The one flirt after meeting Sloane won't cut it.



Ryder's delivery is the same if romanced or not. The squad mates don't say anything. Instead, SAM says he doesn't detect signs of Reyes and asks if they should proceed without him and then Ryder answers "That's not..."


Lol, when does he say that?

This is a little embarrassing, but I can't seem to remember (I played this on my Xbox that's chilling in storage right now)

During the end game, only the Hyperion crashed on Meridian. The Nexus is still up and operational, just minus that Arc.

I'm writing a scene on the Nexus, and there's a part of me thats 99.99999999% sure that the Nexus didn't fall and that it's just the Hyperion because of Captain Dunn, but my memory is terrible.

Fic Update:

It might be because of the new update, but Peebee has a comment about romanced Reyes after high noon!

She comments that the outlaws are nice to her, but notes that "your boyfriend Reyes can't keep them all in check."

It's hella cute to hear about him in just the arena of boyfriend, rather than "he lied to you! RA RA RA."

Made tons of progress tonight... Might I add a post about how much I fucking LOVE Keema? They better not turn her into an Udina... I love her dynamic with Reyes so much and I hope she develops as a character...

PS. Everyone thank you so much for your support. Before posting about planning to write my fic, I hadent't written in ages and all of the comments I got really motivate me to keep going! I'm feeling really sappy rn sorry lmao XD I don't think I have had this much fun writing in such a long time, and thats all because of this kick ass thread! I really hope when the fic drops, it meets your expectations.

Let' just say that our taste in threads matches our taste in men. Wouldn't have it any other way. Enjoying it until Keema gets us all. (And she will... seen the cigar? A bad omen)
(And that picture? yaay)

I concur. Keema in fact sounds downright contemptuous both times she refers to Ryder being Reyes' weak spot. Reyes in turn seems ill-humored by her teasing; he doesn't joke back, just cuts her short immediately. Maybe it's just me reacting against the "this wacky crew sure can feel like family sometimes!" sort of  comments Ryder is forced to make and the general lack of conflict in the game, but I don't see Keema and Reyes as happy friends like a lot of people do.

What I can see happening is Keema predictably moving against Reyes ("take Kadara back from humans" sentiment, perhaps), possibly related to Ryder somehow because she's in the know about them... and Reyes being prepared, because of course he would be. Ah, the DLCs that could be.


Also thread is calm and chill.  :smiles: That makes is cool.

It should be noted that "betraying" one's oppressor is a very different thing from betraying one's benefactor or employer. If someone on a slave ship led a mutiny against the captain, it wouldn't necessarily be fair to assume that they would also lead a mutiny on a normal cargo freighter.

Keema was not being oppressed under Sloane. She plays both sides because in either case she still gets ahead.
