Jaal Ama Darav (Official Thread)

Definitely, but part of me is thinking Bioware will just create a common enemy and Jaal will just be like "We must work together to bring down this foe."
Come to think of it have we had any squadmates that joined the PC purely out of interest and not to stop the Big bad/mini baddies? 

Obliviousmiss, I'm probably in the minority here, I have no interest in sexing him. I'm more so interested in his species/why he wants to work with the Pathfinder. Plus, this race looks pretty cool tbh. I like new shiny things.

I have no idea if I'm going to be interested in him, but he seems a likely LI so I'm keeping an eye on him. And this thread is quite nice and fun to read

*Sweats* >_>
I just... think....he's hot.........

But also, I really love interspecies relationship tropes - like what tensions it could bring and how the characters involved navigate them. That's what initially drew me to romance Garrus, the fact taht they fit so well together was a huge bonus . On top of that I have this weird hang up of my PCs never dating within their race/species if I can help it (with one exception, but that one doesn't really count). Ah, I think my reasons are a little shallow U_U

But yeah, he's mysterious, part of a new race we haven't seen before and his introduction has piqued my interest. But I defs wanna see what he's like in game before I get too invested.

For me... it's because he's pretty. I really am that shallow, yes.

But I must add that the idea of getting to meet a new race and form connections with them, à la Pandora style, has me hooked.

Jaal is one of the only entirely new elements revealed so far, and I think everyone was looking forward to new aliens. That was most of the reason going to a new galaxy was exciting. I personally find it hard to get jazzed over the same old Milky Way races and for a while I was worried about just how much "new" we were going to get. Jaal represents that newness for me, since he's going to be a squadmate, a sort of voice for the new race and galaxy, and possibly a LI. I'm interested in all the Angara as a whole and the Kett too, but Jaal is a solid, named figure to get hyped over. Plus I know I'll get attached to him because I get attached to most of my team in BioWare games.

As for romance, I plan to go for him because I've wanted an Andromeda alien LI ever since the announcement that the game would take place there. It just so happens that I find Jaal's design appealing too, which is a nice bonus. But I would have romanced a Kett if we had a Kett squadmate LI even if they're more "alien" looking. I just think it's an inherently cool and interesting dynamic and, unlike many it seems, I'm not all that concerned about the looks of the person my character in a video game is banging.

So that's what it is for me! It's really no wonder this thread is moving fast even taking away attraction to Jaal. There's so much more to speculate here than there is with any of the other revealed squadmates, who are already familiar other than us not knowing their particular personalities and personal stories.

No alternatives. So far Jaal is the only male alien we have seen. Even if he is not a romance, he is more interesting than, well, the only other male character who is not related to the PC. I derive a no small amount of enjoyment from virtual love life, and I prefer it to be as exotic and as much removed from real life as possible. So, no alternatives so far.

I honestly find him quite visually attractive. I've always been attracted to things different and I find the humans, well kinda too "mainstream"(do I use that right? english is not my first language). Reason why in DA I prefer the elves over humans and in ME aliens, they're new and exciting and more importantly different.

I'm weird I know. In irl if there were aliens around like in Mass Effect, I would definitely go for one.

Forgot about this reason Everyone here is so nice!

This thread reminds me of the Solas thread from old bsn. I approve. 

Even so much so that the devs would drop in quite often to tease us
