Tbh the impression I got from that news was that we could A) choose to be a racist piece of shit? pick sides between compnaions knowing it'll cause trouble. Because iirc it said that the way we interact and the dialogue options we pick could cause tension, not our decisions in missions etc. That's obviously a given, because of course different squadmates will have different opinions on how to handle a situation. Could you handle being mean to Jaal? Okay first though is "never - I'll defend him to the death!" But, tbh, IF (big if) he is a jerk/idiot/rasist/blah I would kick his ass, no matter how pretty he is. I dont think he WILL be like that, but every thing is possible.

I had issues with him, but I couldn't do it even if I wanted to. I would only be mean to Jaal if he attacked my crew and I for no real reason.

I'm not one to pick on other character threads, but I swear... yes we may get teased for having a big thread, but the Cora one... omg I can't even... ofc I had to go now and peek that thread. What the hell is problem with some people? They have a nice female LI coming, they don't have to worry about getting a LI that matches their sexual orientation, yet they are so entitled they keep nitpicking and whining about this characters perfectly normal looks. They feel so entitled they think they deserve to get a Marilyn Monroe for a LI, in a bikini. And no jaw. Jawless Marilyn. Photoshop that, neckbeards! And when you come here, everyone is happy to get a nice, colorful alien as a LI, black eye-whites and all, everyone is just ahhhh and ohhhh, did you see the eyes? Some of us might make a soft comment now and then hoping this alien swings both ways, but no bitching, no moaning, no whining. And this is about a colorful alien. And those idiots have to whine about DAMN JAW! How fucking spoiled can some people be. Are these the same men who think they deserve to date a super model, even though they still live in their mothers basement and get 20 dollars a week as a pocket money. And are over 40. Sorry but my kindness has limits. I voiced as much in that thread. Mod got mad and said that people were being personally attacked in the thread now. They really just need to delete that damn thread... do something so the whiny man babies shut up. So sick of hearing "my womenfolk aren't attractive enough for me, make moar pretty!"

I want all my squadmates to be happy and get along even though I do love drama

*sigh* the mods are fine with that stuff in the Cora thread as long as no one irl is attacked. We are the problem for not accepting "criticism" and now I know why Jaal's thread is so big. Fans of other characters have stopped by to talk about them without toxicity following them. I'll just share my thoughts of her next month here under a spoiler tag or something. I peaked into the Cora thread and was all *ugh - I should go...* Meh I rather stay here with you guys. *hugs*

It would certainly be more fun to play if you could make some enemies among your crew, just to spice things up. But I probably won't manage to do that again, good thing there is youtube to watch others insult our squadmates for me.

As I said in that thread once after 2 pages of that stuff "Benefits of being the main female human lead. You get your looks, not your personality picked apart until the next one is brought up."

Well, considering that Garrus had no value in innocent lives so long as the job got done... there could be a personality flaw in Jaal that we may have to alter... change his perception on, or some such thing. And it's possible he could be a little space racist considering the Angara haven't had interaction with the Milky Way races before. But maybe he doesn't know he's being offensive. That could always be a thing. Characters are always going to have flaws, I think in this case it's just a matter of whether or not his flaws are tolerable, and if not can they be tweaked with a paradigm shift?

Fact: The Angara don't have blood. Just pink-purple glitter running through their veins. Because they're so fabulous (especially Jaal) So the Angara are literally walking glitter bombs. XD Right, now I want an "angara" LUSH bath bomb

Do you think Jaal will be one of those that is ok with you being with another (at least until things get really serious like for isabela ) or do you think he's going to be possessive at the start?

I would only be mean to Jaal if he attacked my crew and I for no reason real reason. The strange thing is, as mean as Javik sometimes (often) (always) was, he was my topi choice companion after Garrus in ME3. For Javik I have a lot of sympathy and I can understand why he ended the way he is. Just imagine, being the last human... And some of his trolling was... I dunno... He made me giggle... And with a lot Paragon choices he actually said some good things. Also I'm complete T'Sovik trash XD Little blue prothean babies. XD Yeah, with Jaal I mean, if he is just a simple asshole. But, tbh I doubt we will have any character who will be just a arsebisquit without reason. I'm more worried about Liams "anger issues" than Jaal even though we know next to nothing about our purple Sir.

Yes! I was wondering that ever since they said it, but they also said "are they really ok?" meaning they will act cool with it, but secretly are hurt or angry. Hmmm... if his race is all peacemaker stuff and open-mindedness I could see him fine with it, but if he falls in love, I could see him not being fine with it.

Here's one for you guys! Choices we make in the game can cause squad tensions. How would you go about involving Jaal in that? lol Jaal: *looks angry/upset about something Ryder did* Ryder: Aww, time for kisses!!!! Problem solved

I think we've had the racism thing with Tali though, with the geth. But yes flaws are important and can lead to great character development. I have no idea what Jaal's would be, though

I feel like Jaal would be possessive af. Not in a creepy or annoying way though. I really want to be able to have a polyamorous romance in this game, but I don't think it'll happen with Jaal.

Do you think Jaal will be one of those that is ok with you being with another (at least until things get really serious like for isabela ) or do you think he's going to be possessive at the start? I could really see it either way. A possessive Jaal imo would be kind of cute. What if it's both, though? Like... he's okay with you having a fling with another, because he doesn't think he could be serious about a human. But then he starts to demonstrate a possessive side. Like, if he stumbles on you flirting with the other guy (let's say Liam, for example) and he gets really jealous and starts getting aggressive toward Liam. And when you confront him about his rude behavior toward Liam, he gets apologetic, and explains that he feels angry when he sees you smiling at another. Demonstrating flirtatious behavior with another, especially a male of your species who could give you whatever you could desire, especially human children that were the product of both of you. And you have to explain to him that what he is feeling is jealousy (and maybe a little envy). Like, how cute would that exchange be?

Could you handle being mean to Jaal? Gonna go with yes because sometimes a good ole fight works to liven up the relationship in a story (not so much in real life lol). Imagine quarreling with him and having to go through several missions before he finally comes to you and stiffly apologizes; you have the option to respond in several ways: a. immediately cave and jump into his arms, gushing your own apologies, b. return your own stiff apology, c. tell him it's not enough, keep fighting.

In fact I've only slept with two characters in the same game ONCE! My Hawke had a fun fling with Isabela then moved on to fall in love with Anders. I guess it's hard for me to get into the head space of a character who would do that, even if it's break up with one and move on to the other. I'm too much of a romantic!? ... perhaps.

Holy Crap, I've barely paid attention to the Character section, and Jaal's thread is nearly 200 pages.
Jaal is becoming too powerful.

We always were able to influence our companions. With Jaal it could be anything but I totally expect him to have flaws. If they are big enough to warren my intervention remains to be seen XD But that sounds interesting. Him not actively trying to be an ass but maybe being weary and just come over as pink dick... (okay sorry I apologize but I couldn't resist XD ) So the Angara are literally walking glitter bombs. XD Right, now I want an "angara" LUSH bath bomb *shut up and take my money* What if you fooled around with both Jaal and another LI and they know, and are tense because they are fighting over you?

Ohh. I'm, usually not a fan of triangles but this.. sounds... interesting. I need to hear more about this. For science.
