Don't know about permanent but I'm tempted to see if she and Drack can double team some of the enemies given Krogan love a good old fashioned charge as well.

Will she get stuck on top of crates and in walls like Shepard? I love biotic charge but the reality was it often caused me to get stuck.

Depends on how well you use it if your using it like a blunt instrument then yeah that can happen bu generally I try t ouse it cleverly nowadays which does help counter that problem.

Oh, right, I forgot that one. Maybe about 10 years older than your Ryder. How could a male Ryder start something with a woman who could practically be his grandmother? :hithead:

The way some people talk you would think that Scott is a ten years old... xD

For me, her body looks like of a 17-20 yo girl, while the face looks much more mature. The usual bioware noodle arms, idk what people are about now.

The BW voice directer/producer is following him on Twitter, so it's pretty possible this is legit. Still waiting for Caroline to actually tweet it though.

While it's not 100% locked in, and I won't be saying he has the role until either he or Caroline say so, Caroline following him on twitter is about as confirmed as it's gonna get otherwise lol :lol:

Sounds like it's plausible, but following someone on Twitter≠confirming that they voice Mass Effect Andromeda. Caroline could just be a fan/friend of the guy, but it's on Imdb so confirmed until someone proves it's not I guess

Literally days after BW reveals a female companion and people are complaining about her appearance?

They really do have classy, grounded and totally sane fans. No, wait, the other thing.

That's what I mean the face is older than 30eesh. I'm OK with the arms... unlike some other character I've seen.

She doesn't look 20 but she doesn't look 40 either.
I don't think she has noodle arms either, based on the romance shots and a snip taken from the trailer in the moment Ryder tapped her arm.

maybe but I've got to admit I'm tempted to try it. Probably will do it on a less important mission where it dosen't matter so much.

I guess her body is the standard human female body they use for every character that falls into that category. From her face I would estimate her age late twenties to early thirties. That's as good as dead, if you ask a teenager.

Some of the fat comments appears to be apparently based on the romance shot as in my avatar, saying that her arms and torso don't look like of a woman 172 cm tall weighting 61 kg.
It's illogical, since she's clearly not fat, but the arms appear different in some shots.

If AI is on the same level of ME3 there'll be some big problems with combat.
In any case, at least in theory is a good combo with a long range Ryder, since Drack and Cora can work on close combat, with the latter being faster and the former being (likely) a good tank.

yea i can see how in the romance scene she looks a bit different, actually i like how she looks there. i just want for once, a bit muscular female human while still being traditionally beautiful? for example jack,miranda or ashley looking but with muscles:D i hope it doesnt sound offensive:( and mb lessen down the width of shoulders for males? iron bull with his small head compared to his body still haunts me in the nightmares:P and jaal's shoulders seem a bit too wide too

I think the armour might give her a more skinny look. At this point it's unclear which one is correct, we'll know more in the final game, and with (hopefully) different armours.
I don't think Scott, Alec and Liam are too much bulky, although Scott look less skinny now then before. But even for him, when in the armour in the last trailer his arms look less muscolar, so it might be something those armours do. Or maybe they're from two different body sets (I wish this is true :lol:

).
As for Jaal, I think it's better to wait to see him in different shots and animation, although they might've just created a species with bulky men. As far as I recall we don't truly had one except the krogans which are a bit more different then the rest.

Yeah and because generally I like to keep my distance from the enemies and strike at range they might make a pretty good combo for me. I guess it depends on what you're looking for though.

besides bull and that shot of jaal, i rarely have problems with male bodies in their games...the qunari except for bull all were bulky too, but good proportioned, so it looked fine while bull looked weird.

i just hope they would try and maybe change the way they depict female bodies, at least the females involved in the military situations. but after the elves from inquisition, i dont have much hope, they even made the males look like that too( big head, small body), it was horrible.
