Well considering this is a completely new story and no one really knows what we have in stoer except those that are making the game that is that's understandable. I've been tossing a few names around in my head but I think I've settled on a name for my first Ryder. It'[ll be the asme name as the person I'm going to base her look on assuming the CC gives me something good to work with but only time will tell. I don't really know my Ryder's back story yet as that'll depend on the options but I'm looking forward to getting started. I still have issues figuring out my characters even when replaying ME 1-3, haha. But I'm very excited to play about in the new CC. Hopefully no mods or headcanon required to make my character work! Now if only I could Settle on a name... at least I have a first consonant settled on. Yeah I was thinking about 4 names Jessica, Katie Rachel even Sam as well at one point. I might still use them on future Ryder's but for now I'm thinking on going with Lucie.

The only hing I definitely know is that I'm going female Adept first. Hpoefully show Cora how to really use biotics as a weapon.

Probably be playing default Scott first. Funnily enough, I was planning on calling him Scott before the default names were actually revealed. Now that we know people will actually call them by Scott/Sara, it's even better!

I will play as a male. Because I'm male. and also I dont want to know what 10+ years of non shaven bush/legs feels like. Although I'n totally hoping people mistake me for Moses when I get off the ship.

Although I'n totally hoping people mistake me for Moses when I get off the ship. Let's hope cryosleep means suspended hair growth. This poll is further evidence that the BSN is a cluster of outliers. We have a bunch of PC-gamers who intend to play as Custom Sara; while the final stats will undoubtedly reveal that the faceless horde played predominately on consoles as Default Scott. (Maybe the stats won't be quite that specific.) I'm not complaining, mind you, just pointing out the obvious.

Custom SisRyder named Riley. I actually like the default appearance so I may have one play through with the default. But character creator is not to be wasted.

Default Scott then default Sara. I skeptical about the custom since the old faces didn't look as good as the default. Would be cool if you could take the default face and just change eye color and hair color/style.

I'll be playing a custom female, Eve Ryder, first. I'm not the biggest fan of the default names becoming such a predominant reference for the protagonists. It seems to lead to a strange sort of confusion between the fans and developers, like one Dev saying that different characters will have different levels of romantic interest in Scott versus Sara, and then a thread popping up claiming that the remark meant the romances aren't gender specific. I will probably make some lousy pun for the name. If I play the femRyder, which I won't (could never take femshep seriously, sorry), I would name her Rooster Ryder. Not sure what I would do for the dude. Also, since both the defaults look like poster children for a hippie commune, I'm going custom. I have a thing for battle scars.

To be completely honest, I thought I was going to make Scott my canonical choice, since I'm a male and I like to romance the female characters. My canonical Shepard was also male. But based on what little we've learned about the twins' backgrounds, I'm now leaning towards playing as Sarah. I find her experience with Prothean research teams to be more aligned with my interests than Scott's military background. I'm not sure how much control we'll have over these careers, but if Sarah is considered the "scientific" one, then I'm absolutely going with her.

I going to play as a custom Scott Ryder. It's easier for me to get drawn into the story that way. I might keep the default name this time though since it will be mentioned in game.

Oh, most definitely a custom character. I actually feel as though I have a really hard time talking to people who play RPGs with defaults, lol. Why would you ever do that?
That being said, I haven't decided on which sibling to play as. I used to play most RPGs as a guy, and then do a second playthrough as a female character while picking basically all the opposite options. Lately, I've been playing as a girl more and more often. Especially in games that aren't super story or character focused, like Bloodborne and the like.
I liked Scott's voice in the trailers a lot though. He sounds really smarmy and Nolan North-ish. Sara sounds fine, but it hasn't been giving off as much clear personality as Scott's.
Leaning towards Scott.

I'm definitely going with Custom Scott. I was originally going to change the name (still might) but I might stick with "Scott" for my first playthrough just to see how much it gets used. If it does get used a lot, I could always let everyone know here (without spoiling anything!) so they know what they're missing, or not missing at all.
Frankly, I don't think it'll be too often. But I'm curious!

But even then, in Fallout it was one character, and he only said it with one inflection/tone/etc.

But people keep mentioning that Scott/Sera will have their names called out in game. I thought they meant the twin that you aren't playing as. But they said for the player. I'm confused af! But it made me very curious. I think it would be a cool feature, but I don't know. The way I figure it, someone will have to test out this theory, and I don't mind being that guy!

I won't be doing so on my first playthroughs but possibly later on I might.
