Jaal Ama Darav (Official Thread)

Thanks for the well wishes everyone! Finally got back to sleep after 3AM and feeling a lot better today!

Hmmm... Garrus was my bro before my lover, so that might be Liam's role this time. I see Jaal more along the lines of Thane for a romance.

Sounds like a good idea! That'd be really helpful. I've got not trouble doing that on the news front - I screenshot everything, and stalk Twitter like a pro - but on the discussion side I tend to get confused. Think I might post a news update anyway though when we get to a tenth page marker, if anyone is interested? Like a summary of any news since the last tenth page?

A kinda news info blast recap every 10 pages or so is a really neat idea if someone is up to the task

I wouldn't be able to do it cause I work irregular hours and since I'm in the UK, I'm usually either asleep or working when all the info comes out

Thank you and it should look better when i have got it coloured on photoshop xx

Well of course I'll be everyone's bromancer (lover ) I'll bromance you all--night--long 

Garrus was never really my "bro" so not sure. At the moment the only similarity I'm sensing between Garrus and Jaal is that they both use sniper rifles.

BLASPHEMY!!!

But they don't have any f--- OH, ok. Nevermind. Eh "to each his own."

lol Sorry never really cared for Garrus. To be honest, he's a bit boring; he's too much of a 'good guy' who's out for justice and wants to do the right thing and blah blah blah. I don't know, I suppose I felt a little like he was "made" to be my best friend and perhaps on some level I resented that because he sort of assumed a closeness that was never really earned. The game assumed you'd take to him as your friend as much as it assumed you'd take Liara as your lover. I don't like when a game scripts stuff like that for me. The characters seem inauthentic. However, that's old school writing (scripting the best friend and the girlfriend for the presumed straight male player) and I think BioWare are far past that now. I don't think we will have a "bro" character; I think we'll have lots of interesting characters who are unique individuals in their own right, including Jaal! 

As for Jaal, I think because of his very alien nature he will be aloof and a bit distant from the rest of the crew. He will be a consummate outsider. Garrus was never really an outsider; humans and turians were already familiar with one another, though there was a bit of political stiffness still there. 

Okay I know this is totally, completely off-topic but I'm gonna jump into this conversation to say that I also think shallura will be canon, they've been hinting at it and that "you need to rest" scene pretty much confirmed that I think? And also the whole space mom and space dad thing they've got going on. Although I'm kinda worried they're going to go for Keith/Allura because of that whole scene with the - holding hands in space and whatever, you know the one I'm talking about. I'm also a huge klance shipper so the whole Keith/Allura thing has me worried, I hope that was just nothing but how else do you explain that scene? Why would they put that in the show? It was obviously romantic, so idk I really hope they don't go with Keith/Allura because it would ruin two of my ships, one of which has an actual chance to become canon. I also find the idea of Keith/Allura kinda cringy idk why

(Also Shiro is my son and I love him very much) 

I don't get why it's considered weird or sad to have romance in an rpg game.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
