Jaal Ama Darav (Official Thread)

Yeah, gathered that much   I just feel that Bioware's being sneaky, and chose to interpret it as a more general "they" as opposed to referring to Jaal as "they". Still a definite "Jaal can be romanced" would be nice so I know whether to get my hopes up or not 

About the "swooning" comments, personally I'm not really swooning over Jaal's appearance. I've wanted an Andromedan alien romance ever since I learned we were going there for the next game just because it would be an incredibly interesting story. You go on a long and perilous journey to a whole new world filled with unpredictable dangers, and you still manage to build that kind of connection with someone who should, by all means, be a galaxy beyond you.

Attraction to cat squids or not, that's pretty cool!

Going beyond Jaal, I think the Angarans will be the main adversaries to the Kett within Andromeda space. Possibly the second "strongest" race in terms of foothold in the galaxy. And I think the entire game will basically only work because the Andromeda races are all pitted against the Kett, and thus desperate enough to ally with the newcomers. Jaal might go with us as an ambassador of sorts, or someone to report back on the workings of the new races while also being one of our guides through Andromeda. If this is the case, I can see the relationship starting out relatively tense because it's one of necessity where he's ready for betrayal/to betray at any moment.

I also think that it's pretty set in stone that our team will go way beyond our "peaceful explorer" mission out of necessity (this is a shooter game, after all). Which I picture causing some rifts between us and the Andromedans and a lot of juggling/compromise to repair and balance. I'd love for us to have a serious crisis moment with Jaal/the Angara at some point in the game. It feels inevitable considering we're the "invaders" of sorts.

It's important to build an accurate anatomical understanding. For science.

A dev confirmed he's male. The female voice you hear is the one behind him. You can see her talking for a brief moment before he blocks her from view.

Do we know his voice actor yet?

So far it's not confirmed by the devs, but on IMDb they have him listed as Nyasha Hatendi.

lol found on twitter:

@miniusgc @sakugetsuu @frydawolff @taylorson @biofanofficial @n7follower abilitydrain @andromenerds who remembers this tweet????😏😏😏

So he wears it in bed, eh?      "All the better to see you with, my dear."   

Just like Garrus and his visor..... I approve                    

I just noticed Jaal has a big chunk bitten out of his left... lobe? Mane? Whatever it is it's scarred and not entirely symmetrical with the right.

I'd like that a lot.

He's got a major Garrus vibe. Sniper, scars, the visor covering one eye and he's wearing blue.
