But also, I really love interspecies relationship tropes - like what tensions it could bring and how the characters involved navigate them. This too!! I love human/elf relationships as well as human/dwarf (and human/qunari) in Dragon Age. To me this is like one of those. Now I've never romanced an alien before but I'm looking forward to Jaal as well as maybe Vetra and Peebee. Ah, I think one of my fave convos between Merrill and Hwake was when they were discussing having kids. And I like to imagine and elaborate on the parallels between Lavellan and Iron Bull along cultural/racial lines as well. It's always fun to see two people from wildly different backgrounds growing closer despite (or sometimes because of) how different they are. Oh and another aspect that draws me in a bit is that Jaal appears confident and (dare I say) badass, so i think that'd play well off of my Ryder's softer personality. |

It certainly also has the explosive page count that both the old and new Solas threads share!  .. is it March yet?  Nope, still 47 days to go. 42 if you get the trial through early access...  Only problem is I'll have to pace myself and set a timer each night for two hours or something. Else I'll end up blowing through those ten hours the first day, and spend the next four staring despondently on my computer waiting to play the rest... |

Following this thread has been a pure joy so far. It's so nice and welcoming.  |

The few times I visited the Solas thread were always positive experiences! Even so much so that the devs would drop in quite often to tease us  I miss Allan Schumacher's trolling so much! |

*waves* Hello, everyone  Been lurking for a bit and finally had to make an account (I need to join in on the Jaal lovin'). I seriously can't wait to meet this guy, although with so little info I'm worried he may not actually be my cup of tea after all lol Then again, between the stylish coat, piercings(?) and lack of concern for invading personal space, at least he shouldn't be dull Personally hoping he has a wicked sense of humor. ps: sorry my icon is so similar to a few others', but it's not as if we need to see less of that face, eh? |

What attracts me to Jaal? A lot of it's been covered already; he's attractive, looks Garrus-esque (which is a bonus because Garrus ) and tbh I'm dying for an alien m/m romance, so I'm hoping he's going to turn out good. Though mostly it's because of him being a new species. He'll be uncharted territory and along the way we'll get to learn about him and hopefully about Andromeda and the Angarans. But mostly I'm just shallow and too busy dabbing my forehead whenever I look at him because hOT DAMN!  |

*Passes bottled water around*
I bet this thread surpasses Cora's thread by next week.
And as soon as the slightest bit of actual info on this guy is released, BSN is going to collapse under the sheer weight of this thread. Watch.

If Jaal isn't bi I'll be very disappointed, Scott needs himself an alien bf. Playing for hours with an angle on him just to be turned down doesn't sound fun  Can't decide if I hope there's more info/leaks on romances or not. |

I guess now we can hope that someday BW will release a Jaal's profile (though even if they are it will be close to release of the game itself or even past release... it seems that they love to keep secrets about him)

 Just fled from a foolhardy rabbit hole spiral into the Political Discussion thread. Never again. Need some cheering up and reaffirmation in humanity. *plants blanket fort in this thread and runs off to find some beautiful Jaal fanart on tumblr* It's best to never go there.  I shall not be making that mistake again lemme tell you Just fled from a foolhardy rabbit hole spiral into the Political Discussion thread. Never again. Need some cheering up and reaffirmation in humanity. *plants blanket fort in this thread and runs off to find some beautiful Jaal fanart on tumblr* Stay and be warm here, my chum!  aww thanks, yeah this thread is the best It's best to never go there. Aw, it's not so bad. I do post in there on occasion. You just have to approach it like... visiting a landfill. Sure, you'll wade through a whole bunch of trash but on a good day you might find something kinda cool. Just make sure you breathe through your mouth. And shower afterward. Burn your clothes just to be safe. @princeenigmatic :  HUGS FOR ALL JAALICLE CATS Just fled from a foolhardy rabbit hole spiral into the Political Discussion thread. Never again. Need some cheering up and reaffirmation in humanity. *plants blanket fort in this thread and runs off to find some beautiful Jaal fanart on tumblr* *big huggles* *makes a pot of tea* *soothes Prince* There, there, you stay out of the nasty thread of politics... Come stay with us in the delicious Jaal and Liam threads where it is safe, warm, and welcoming! aww thank you, and don't worry I will never be going back there. Its like Omega. Once was enough If Jaal isn't bi I'll be very disappointed, Scott needs himself an alien bf. Playing for hours with an angle on him just to be turned down doesn't sound fun Can't decide if I hope there's more info/leaks on romances or not. *please be bi, please be bi* |

Also relatively new, and a long time lurker on most everything! Jaal got me immediately, too. I wasn't swooning per say, but it was definitely close. That monocle visor is really something. I also like the unknown, and he's striking my fancy something fierce. My husband thinks I'm insane, but finds my love for Garrus highly amusing. He doesn't make fun of me so long as I leave him alone (he's got it bad for Miranda, Jack, and Tali) with his... interests |

I found this old video where Bioware talks a bit about (I assume Angaran) architecture.
Nothing new, but I thought it was interessting. They mention that they are peaceful and their home has an "aura
of welcomeness".
It starts at around 20:40
Edit:
Here is a better version of the video. I just noticed the other one cuts off a few minutes at the end.

For me about getting interested of Jaal, well I'm interested in aliens in ME in general and human-alien relations as well relationships. And Jaal to me looked like well-designed and intriguing alien from the first sight. Somehow I found him quite pretty and even feminine in good way, I was first bit wondering about his gender. Then their race as far as we know seem pretty interesting as well and I really like the nature angle if that comes true.

This is funny to me because you know the moment we take Jaal out to battle, he's going to be picking off fools left and right with that sniper rifle. Such peace! Much welcoming!

The way he talks about them (assuming he really does mean the Angara) they sound like some sort of space-eco-hippies. I like that. |

Howdy Jaal! Just wanted to join in an earlier conversation about what attracted everyone to Jaal. I personally found his monocle really funny. The actual hotness of him-took a few more looks to see, but my interest in him was set already from the first look. I haven't been a big fan of the alien romances thus far (mainly cause they haven't been very appealing previously), but Jaal is very handsome. Plus since Liam has been labeled "bromance" I am guessing Jaal is the only team romance for M/M. (lame) I am uncertain if he'll be my first romance, but it looks that way! I am still interested in seeing what the human M/M option will look like though and what both guys personalities will be like. |

Can't decide if I hope there's more info/leaks on romances or not.
