Dr. Lexi T'Perro (Official Thread)

I would definitely like to see someone who takes her duties a bit more seriously than Dr. Chakwas.

That's right Karin, I see you. Knocking back the Serrice Ice Brandy when we aren't looking

I'm pessimistically believing number 3 is most likely. What I would like is more number 1. What I think would be really cool is if she could be found at camps around the planet you happen to be exploring at the time. That way she is closer to where she may be needed for the mission, rather than you having to hoof it back to the Tempest if anyone gets badly injured.

That could be interesting. Since we are able to set up base camps on the planets we explore, perhaps she and a few others can be found at one of those or even just certain ones like the Keeps in Inquisition. That or since the people were only able to see the first hour of the game I believe, perhaps sometime during that first quest she is among the people who rescue us and tends to the wounded on the field. 

 It was said it carried humans. Last I checked the asari and salarians aren't human. Does that mean there is humans on the asari and salarian ships? Is it because all the human doctors realized the trip to Andromeda was foolish and  didn't want any part of it?

Maybe the lexi asari is a scientist and has nothing to do with being the ships doctor. If not, my Ryder will be careful not to injure her/himself

It carried the human civilians that were going to Andromea, yes. The GameInformer people mention how DR. Lexi is an exception to all the humans you see in the beginning of the game. But just because Hyperion is the human ark doesn't mean only humans are on it since the crew of the ships like Tempest have to be aboard as well. 
If they serve as crewmembers for ships on those arks, then yes there most likely are some humans on the asari, salarian, and turian Arks. 
There are almost certainly human doctors as well, but perhaps Dr. Lexi tends to us because being the Tempest's doctor she is the most familiar with our medical file. 

I'm curious why you are so against an asari being the medical officer. I know you are all Humanity First and what not, but just because they are an alien doesn't mean they aren't skilled. Did you not like having to have say Mordin be the ship scientist in ME2 and not want to use his counter to the Collector swarms? 

Hanako while I absolutely hated liara for being a writers pet my main issue was the inconsistent personality she was a little too Bipolar in my opinion.

Yeah, I was not a fan of that at all either. When we encounter her in ME2, Liara was so different in terms of personality it made me question why even have her be the character in that role. 

Well, in terms of being a writer's pet I think Dr. Lexi is safe since other than a brief mention she hasn't  come up in the marketing at all. PeeBee seems to be their new Liara in that regard.

Agreed. As thebobzilla84 said I would have loved if we would have been able to recruit her as a part of the Normandy crew. I've never killed her. 

Yeah, a few aliens being aboard the Hyperion is nothing new. They can be filling out roles, offer new perspectives, help form camaraderie between the races and the ships, etc. This is a joint project, so it only makes sense for the ships to be joint as well, even with the majority being devoted to a single race per ship. 

Yeah, that has been a problem among both the Mass Effect and Dragon Age team. They assume everyone will read the book, so they leave things unanswered. When confronted about this, they just say the books/comics/etc answer that. For the expanded lore stuff, I hope they go more the Paragon Lost way. Paragon Lost took something that James Vega explained in Mass Effect 3, and expanded on it. You didn't need to watch it to understand James' past and mindset, but watching it enhanced that. Hopefully between the complaints about some of the expanded material, Bioware learned that lesson and will have the game explain everything while the expanded material merely goes more in-depth. 

That's true. Just because they are being shown a lot doesn't mean they are crucial. After all with Dragon Age: Inquisition they showed Sera, The Iron Bull, and Vivienne a lot in the promotional material and yet those three characters were the least connected to the plot of the game. 

I'm hoping they do that in the 15 minute video thing Bioware said they'll be doing mid-February. Have some of it showing discussions in the Tempest, which will give players a better understanding of the dialogue system as well as be an opportunity to introduce us to crewmembers we don't know much if anything about. That or show the beginning of the game since it does the same thing. Either way, Dr. Lexi is there. 

Yeah I really liked ME1 Liara which made me really dislike her change in personality in later chapters. I understand why her personality changed, but I would have vastly preferred her remaining like her ME1 self. 

I'm getting a familiar feeling about PeeBee. That's one reason I'm really excited for Dr. Lexi since she will most likely be different than PeeBee in many aspects.

Yes for more like Shiala hopefully! I loved her.

Honestly, I'm curious about all the MEA characters that haven't had much spot light or any insight given.

Because my Ryder rather have a human doctor heal her/him.

If these ships leave at the same time. Arrive in the same area of Andromeda, why would there need to be an alien on the Hyperion? I'm curious what the reasoning is for that. The Hyperion arrives much later in Andromeda for whatever reason, but no one expected it would arrive late. Why use an alien doctor when they're most likely human doctors on the Hyperion?

I am as well. I'm glad we learned about our squadmates a bit, well most of them at least but the rest will probably be revealed soon, so now I want to learn about our crew. In past games, I've liked them as much if not more than the squadmates. I hope after they finish doing the info blurbs for the squadmates they do similar things for our crewmates so we can know a bit about Kallo Jath, Dr. Lexi, Reyes, and so on.
