Your Character

All jokes aside this games already facing an uphill battle trying to regain the disgruntled fanbase that abandoned the Franchise after ME3.I'm honestly among them but I'm willing to give it another chance but I'm going in pretty lukewarm to be honest the best I can say is I'm cautiously optimistic but I am hoping it will be great but at this point I just dont know.

I had kind of the same feeling when I first saw it, but it's grown on me. And I've always tried to play adepts at some point, I like the space wizard idea but... I always end up forgetting to use the powers as my first instinct when I see an enemy is to shoot. lol




There's never an excuse for shitty options. I was just saying that I generally stick to buns and ponytails because that's the type character I usually play.

I think because your willing to give it a chance your already ahead of a lot of people. I don't know how I'll like MEA but I'm optimistic and going to give it a chance before I judge it. Because of this I get called a fanboy or naive however I'd rather give it a fair try and be excited rather than pick apart every piece of information and hope it fails so I'm not disappointed or surprised if/when it does. I honestly feel bad for people like that. How awful it must be to not get excited or optimistic about things for fear of getting hurt is really kind of sad. But maybe that's just me being naive. Lol.

Yeah I've saw most of the trailers but cool scenes of combat don't really tell if Ryder is Military or not it just shows Ryder can fight.We know that their father is an N7 but theres no info on the twins.

My canon DA worldstate is currently populated with 3 pale green-eyed brunettes Which wasn't on purpose!

I'm looking forward to that thread too, especially if the CC is good!

They better. If there's one thing I can't stand, it's regression; I hate it when features are removed in subsequent games. I know they're using a new engine, but that just means they might have to innovate a little. I'd go as far as saying it should be standard in any game with a CC to have a way to save/share your character's looks.

Impossible

Definitely not. You know why? Because DA:I does have facecodes, they're just much longer and more complex than ME ones... and invisible. Otherwise the game wouldn't be able to save faces, which it can (like applying it to Envy appearing as you). Don't be fooled by the new grids, they still have coordinates, just a lot more than before. If you trawl through the game files, you will run into some way your character's face is saved (otherwise PC players couldn't share saves, which I believe they can). It wouldn't make logical sense otherwise. All they need to do is let us see it, or a simplified version of it, and let us input codes.

Facecodes are certainly possible, and at the very least, they should let us save a face as a preset to use later (though we couldn't share them unless on PC ).

So I'm really trying to separate my Ryder from my Shepard. Shepard, in my game, was a methodical Soldier-type. A reserved leader who carefully weighed his options, only occasionally allowing himself to be motivated by emotion or anger.

I'm going to try and make Ryder more of a kid. A brash leader, who's heart is in the right place... but who makes plenty of mistakes and has a tendency of jumping in head-first, without looking at the whole picture. Gonna try and use a class that more resembles that too, so... Either Vanguard, or Sentinel. My Shepard was always a soldier so I want to do something totally different this time.

Same, the things that I like about bioware games before and after release, are people characters and the LIs speculation. I think you can learn a lot about character creation from other people, what you can try to do, to improve yours or do something totally new. I was always meh about self-inserts for example and stereotypical beautiful characters but now I think that has its place too.

Sounds like a good plan! I have issues going full Renegade myself... Stupid Lawful Good conscience. *sigh* Aaaaanyway, I'm really starting to think I'm gonna go Sentinel with my first Ryder playthrough. Kind of tailor him toward being a frontline utilitarian brawler. Someone who takes more chances than my Shepard did, who spent most of his time hunkered down behind barrels and oddly convenient chest-high walls. I'm a weirdo and like my class to mirror my character and vice/versa.

I was wondering that myself. Obviously Dad was Alliance military at some point, but maybe he retired to join AI. He might still be allowed to wear it as a retiree, but in real life that's usually reserved for ceremonial events.

The kids...maybe they went to a military academy or served for a short time or were serving just up to the point of the Ai. SInce they supposedly have some sort of science or tech background, I'd say that have at least a four-year degree. They're young, so the only way I can see them having background like that is to go to the academy. Not sure if they have any actual combat experience.  

Also, the young, inexperience kid inherits the Pathfinder role, rather than it going to a more experienced officer. I think that has something to do with SAM and maybe having to pass that implant/skill/ability to a genetic progeny.

For my first playthrough I'll be playing as Scott. Normally I change the name, but if some lines are pre-recorded with the default name I'll stick with it.

I'm undecided on his appearance... Again, I normally customize the hell out of my characters in RPGs... But in ME the customization options were terrible(especially for guys!), and the non-CC-built default face was better than anything you could make with the CC. If the CC is good though I will be making Scott a redhead.

For class, I'll probably focus on Sentinel, as I'm really enjoying it in my current ME trilogy playthrough. I'm not the best at FPS games, so having powers that don't require great aiming is a must!

Personality wise, he'll be a goody goody -- doing the right thing, being respectful, kind, and charming. I'd like to play him as calm and intelligent, rather than brash and hotheaded. He'll occasionally be sarcastic, but I'm saving my snark-run for Sara... Frydda Wolff sounds like she will nail the sarcasm.

Oh, and he'll be gay.

My female ryder will not be named Sara as I'm not too big on that name.

She'll probably be named Skye.


Skye Ryder.
