Um, no. Spouting religion in the first convo that I have no way of avoiding is a huge turnoff. Not interested from day 1. Plus her voice (no, not the accent, her voice) is annoying.
I can't speak for others, but high pitched voices bother me. It's one reason I'm not a big fan of Sara in this game. Her yells come out like squeaks and I just cringe and plug my ears.

Mass Effect @masseffect Did your female Ryder romance Suvi?
In one of my runs, yes. I quite like Suvi. Still don't understand all of the hate towards her voice. :noo:
yeah I've romanced her once I actually quite like her. It's definitely one of my favourites even if there aren't many moments with her other than the science lab scene and the scene where you have a cup of tea with her in your quarters. She's quite sweet actually and I can imagine Sara and Suvi being all science nerdy with each other. She definitely has a kind of Traynor vibe about her anyway. TBH that's what drew me to her and also to Traynor in ME3 as well in that they both seemed to have something nerdy about them.

(a) Nope, my only playthrough (so far) was with a MRyder ( she would, because her accent is freaking sexy. Scottish English just turns me on, I dunno why, it's weird. And sexy.

I hate this scene so much. At least it's totally optional, even for Suvi fans. That over-the-top, goofy ass awkwardness, along with her at times screechy VO, is one reason I've grown to strongly prefer Scott. Tom downplays the ridiculous dialogue moments with a calmer delivery. Scott always feels generally more ready and professional, to me.

Yeah, Scott's girly scream feels generally ready, ridiculous and unprofessional!
Only Fryda downplays all dialogue moments with a calmer delivery! And Sara always feels generally so much more ready and professional, to me!

I don't recall Scott's girly scream from any of my four PTs. It didn't make an impression on me, I guess. Weighed against 100+ hours of game-time, I'd still make the trade even if it had.
Both VAs did great work. I prefer the writing for Scott, though. His unique dialogue often makes him seem more calm and in control, in my opinion. That's something I'd hope for in a situation like the one faced in-game. Ultimately, it makes no difference, as they're equal in action.
I'm not a fan of most of the the chipper, comedic moments. That's a writing issue, not a VA issue. Fryda's energetic delivery exacerbates it. Tom acted those moments a bit more dryly and sarcastically, making them less irritating for me. Both VAs are great at what they do.

I thought they both did a great job. They're supposed to be twins, not clones. Each actor should have a different approach to their character.
Still, what one person finds off putting another may find suitable and that's absolutely cool. It's a personal preference, not a matter of quality of the actor.
Best Ryder Voice Performance (my opinion) in Mass Effect Andromeda: -The Emotional and Casual options for Scott! -The Logical and Professional options for Sara!
From my three MEA Playthrough's (Level 134) 2x Default Sara Ryder and 1x Default Scott Ryder!

Funny I felt that it pretty much was the opposite. I loved Robert as professional and logical. Though Tom Taylorson also did a very good job with the casual. Can't speak for his emotional.

I've completed two as each sibling, and had one Sara that I had to delete 45 hours into the game due to a glitch on Voeld. I've deleted numerous other PTs after reaching Eos.
I'm currently trying to play as Sara. I've reached the point having my first run-in with the Archon, and of making that first, surprise trip to Aya. I stopped there and started a PT with her brother, to see if I'd feel more invested. I don't, so I may try a bit longer with Sara.
I know there's a good game, ahead, but I just can't get into it. The game really could've benefited from some story DLC. Not only did I maybe play it to much after release, but now the specter of no DLC and never completing the story looms over my every attempt to get back into it. I've replayed the OT so many times that most would think me daft. MEA needs some help in order to make it as appealing. This is the time when devs would usually be producing DLC to round out the experience-- some of it maybe planned in advance, and other content in response to feedback. Believing that we'll never get either is a real wet blanket on the experience.

I'm waiting with a replay until after the patch/DLC schedule. I'll play anything new that comes out, and every so often I'll play to try and finish off the last few tasks, but I'm mostly just waiting for new content. I'd rather replay the game again when it is considered to be finished.
