Sure but "turian bad boy" is basically your "average" guy for every other species I mean he was a cop... who gave up being a cop because cops were too corrupt lol Not exactly. While he was disgusted by the corruption, his major reason for leaving C-Sec was that regulations blocked him and prevented him to act quickier/as he wished to stop criminals. Fair point but he was still annoyed he was being prevented from ENACTING JUSTICE *cap unfurls in the wind* Hardly a bad boy

This reminds me a bit of Cora. A bit, although she seems more proficient in bending the rules for the good of others, compared to Garrus. At least from what was stated in her profile.

I found if I played the Paragon route with Garrus, he really did want to bend rules to help others. It was sort of odd having the option to make him a Paragon/Renegade though. Now that I think about it, Jaal might be our Garrus-like Sniper, but I think he looks like he might bend the rules just to get the job done.

Hello! I beforehand apologize for my bad english, but I wanted to add a comment about Jaal's name meaning. There is not only a hindi word, but a somali one - and it translates as "ally/friend"! Let's hope that THIS IS the right meaning! I don't know for now how to add picture but you can test it in google translate

Garrus was "an all around turian bad boy" While I hope Jaal makes me smile and giggle now and then I am not so set on any specific type of character for him. But, if (big if) he is a romance, I really hope they made him a slowmance... Hidden glances and all that shit. Gosh I want some real nice build up. And then finally, romance scene! BAM FEELZ EVERWHERE!
*Stands to give ovation* Yes! So much this! I am all for this too, as long as the romance scene doesn't happen right before the big finale. I'm pretty over that formula. Slow buildup, BAM, then more convos. About stuff. And feelings.

I think because Solas' story is not done yet, we won't get another one so soon. I think what could make Jaal disappointing is if his romance in temp or he does like Fenris and backs out of the relationship before it gets too serious.

Thinking about it now, I think it'd be pretty cool and immersive we get some nasty comments from some if we decide to romance an alien. After all, let's be real, I'm sure most of the people sent to Andromeda are rather young for a reason. But heck, why should that stop us? After all, if we were smart, we'd have brought over a whole sperm bank just in case.

Personally, I'm hoping, though at the moment uncertain of, a sort of, star crossed lovers type of romance with Jaal.
I'm just thinking about the wider context of Ryder and Jaal starting to have feelings for one another.
Because let's face it, both are naturally going to be in a very unique position in that they have never crossed paths as species' before, and there are so many unanswered questions, about everything, not only is there the natural feelings of uncertainty regarding one another.
From the humans perspective, are the angarans peaceful? From the angarans, something similar, do the humans wish to coexist peacefully, or are they invaders like the kett believe.
May there be huge controversy among the other angarans if Jaal falls in love with a human? A voice in the trailer that could be an angaran hints at a possible scenario such as this playing out.
I love those sorts of romances, a sort of, forbidden nature to it. This idea of the angarans forbidding Jaal from being with a human, but his love for Ryder knows no boundary.
I'm also hoping we get a great new love theme in Andromeda. We had I Was Lost Without You which was beautiful in ME3, but to accompany my theory on the possible star crossed lovers romance between Ryder and Jaal, I'm hoping for a love theme along the lines of...

Poor Lavellan and Solas I'm afraid that it will be "a fling", though it don't seem too logical to me, after all alien-human "romance" might be dangerous (as Mordin stated with his remarks), and he is a squadmate and a whole new race so better full-mance... But in time we will see For now I just will hope

Slow buildup, BAM, then more convos. About stuff. And feelings. I'm totally with you. Im just replaying ME2 and lets face it, the Shakarian scene is rather awkward in its timing. I mean, the frikking collectors just abducted my whole crew and there we stand with silly music and stuff. Jeez, I love the scene itself but I wish we had gotten it earlier and that there had been some more stuff afterwards. I'm like that idea that all the banging is not the conclusion of the romance but more... the end of courtship and the beginning of the relationship. All that requires of course that Jaal is in fact interested in a (mono) longterm thing.

We see quite a few on the Nexus so it might not be uncommon. We aren't the first humans to arrive there. What could make your idea sort of work is if Jaal doesn't like humans at first and refuses your flirts, then things chance if you progress with him.

And if you're essentially the ambassador for all humanity and become a huge figure in your own right by beating whatever it is we fight in Andromeda, that's a match that would undoubtedly make waves on both sides.

Yeah status could play a huge part in that too! But for all we know he could be a big flirt and is all over you when he sets his eyes on you, and always tries to seduce you.

Also, say the angarans are like the asari, and that they have significantly longer lifespans... that tragic side to a romance between Ryder and Jaal would be interesting to explore, since Ryder would have a more organic role in the romance as well other than the key initiator (via us). This fear from Ryder that Jaal's love for them wanes over the years.
Sorry, I am such a sop for a good, complex, breathlessly epic and sometimes tragic romance story.

Rynnju To be honest, when Ian said "ALL the bang" it sounds like the Angara are very sexual creatures. Even the joke about not removing the monocle during sex tweet was favorited.

But who knows, maybe they have one of those "royalty/leaders also must be military leaders" cultures.

Yeah it would be great if we are just in dialogue with a LI, not even expecting this particular conversation to be any different, your just picking the head or professional branches cause maybe there isn't an option for heart in this particular conversation, then out of the blue, the LI says something that is incontrovertibly romantic, a clear professing of deeper feelings that we totally weren't expecting
