Suvi Anwar (Official Thread)

I agree with natural being better. I mean, I prefer it when girls just look beautiful without half a tonne of stuff on their face. You then love them the way they are.


Oh, explains! I haven't gotten that far yet with Suvi's romance.


But DID they change her?

It feels like there's a conversation missing somewhere, because as is, Suvi's a bit inconsistent. She obviously talks to Kallo and Lexi about you, and she's not shy in front of the Tempest crew. In the lab scene, she says she suggested "going out", presumably to Vortex or something, so you wouldn't think she's hiding your relationship in public. The embarrassment over a public hug, then, seems weird and if I were Ryder I'd be a bit hurt by it and I'd *definitely* ask why. Romanced Peebee says "No PDAs!" and this could simply be the same thing. Of course, then Peebee grabs you and kisses you in front of everyone at Meridian to stake her claim, so she's inconsistent, too...guess it's the theme of the game 

Yay, gratz!

Katy is a sweetheart.

Fully agree.

Still not sure how they could put Suvi in the ground team. Maybe if she has to go with the team for some reason and wears an armor for the duration. Temporary squadmate.

I don't think you'd need any justification, since we've had squadmates before like Tali or Kasumi, who aren't soldiers. If anything it would make more sense here, since the Initiative is supposedly a scientific/exploratory venture. Frankly, it's bizarre that the Pathfinder team didn't have any scientists on it in the first place.

We already know she's training, and anyone can put on some armour and install some omnitool apps for tech abilities. She doesn't have to be a front-line fighter or even like fighting, because fighting isn't all you're there for.

Me too! It was sweet, and relatable, and I loved that it involved a lot of emotional bonding and intellectual attraction. Just imagine how awesome it would be if she had more content!

Also, Dubi, haha

Suvi-dubi. It's like shooby-dooby, but with 100% more Suvi. It's groovy! Not exactly related, but I occasionally use the portmanteau couple name of Savi. Sara/Suvi.


That would be great. She's my favourite character and romance option in a Bioware game, so her lack of content makes me even more sad.

At the very least, Cora's VA tweeted that she's in the studio again, so we'll get at least one DLC. Presumably, Suvi will at least be in it. I hope. Even one more nice, friendship/romance scene would do wonders for her, considering what little she currently has.

I see your point, Ry-dur

Though Peebee was a scientist to an extent, and the original (Alec Ryder) team probably had a few scientists, with the Ryder siblings, Cora and Liam forming his combat element.

I could see her becoming a squadmate if the sequel starts of with a "We're just exploring, yay, scientific and stuff, the worst we encounter are Roekaar/Kett stragglers and wildlife!" tone, and then shit hits the fan, and Suvi just stays a squadmate rather than becoming one despite it.

Let's face it, she's training to defend herself, not to be a combatant, so just joining the ground team out of the blue seems much less likely than simply staying a part of it despite things suddenly being all combat-ey.

It might also make for a great, great tutorial. Ryder is the experienced Pathfinder hero, so learning everything again makes little sense, but if roles were switched and we play Suvi for the tutorial, with Ryder showing her things, as promised... *absent look*

We need Hugdromeda.

Also awesome avatar. Hehe.

There better be. I'm just wondering whether on ship (forget off ship, they're at even more of a risk in that) romances get as much content as squad romances. After all, we do spend a lot less time with the crew than the squad. It could be Suvi-centric though. With science. Also one of the ways to sneak her into the squad. Think her being temporary for the DLC in MEA, or becoming a permanent MEA squadmate in a post-main-story DLC, and then they can sneak her back on the squad in a sequel. Still should be one of the characters whose strong suit isn't combat. Maybe with Suvi, you can avoid Remnant puzzles, or something like that? Get hints when facing puzzles? You know. A trade off, you're not bringing a squadmate who has the brawn to blast her way through a firefight solo, but someone who has the brains to make your non-combat job a LOT easier while being able to cover you in a firefight.

*Gasp* Someone actually used my first name

I actually hope the next game does start out like that, and not just so it would make more sense for Suvi to be a squadmate. I want to just explore some stuff, for a while at least. So much of ME:A's marketing (as well as the in-universe sales pitch) was about that, but we didn't actually get to do a lot, since most places we went had been discovered already or were occupied. Even on a smaller scale, most places on the map you don't find - you follow a waypoint to get somewhere. Plus, at the end of ME:A, Ryder can say "Now we can finally do what we came here to do: Explore!"

And she could go through a nice character arc (something she didn't have much of outside the romance) if she "didn't sign up for this", but sticks with it, sticks with Ryder. I think she definitely would.

Good idea on the tutorial, as well. I like immersive tutorials, as well as tutorials where your character doesn't suddenly forget how to do things they were just doing last game

Quick, someone make art of Ryder teaching her things.

Shhhh...

I love science, but yeah, it would have been cool to see more of her interests/personality than that. It was clearly intentional that she has trouble focusing on anything that isn't science - even Sara - since Sara says she's "a little jealous" and you can literally tell her to put the omnitool down. But I think the problem is simply her lack of content not letting us have time to see more. More scenes like the tea scene. And I'm always up for more sweetness in my romances, definitely. Let's have something sappy.

Before launch, I said it would be cool if she was a gamer (of "oldschool" RPGs, perhaps? ). We've never had anyone with that hobby, and considering how popular it is now it would be neat to see, and I think she'd be a good fit. A scene playing something with her like Gil's poker game would be an idea.

Strangely enough, Remnant Sudoku gave me hell I love puzzles in games, and I'd like to think I'm usually good at them, but for some reason (lack of practice in Sudoku, I suppose), I could barely do them at first. Even handed over my controller to a friend via shareplay so she could do it for me I felt really dumb. On the other hand, I guess I learn quickly, since by the end of the game I could do the more complicated ones without too much trouble. Huh.

I didn't use any decryption keys, but I didn't get the achievement. I didn't find enough puzzles, which is odd because I check everywhere

Another Andromeda wasted opportunity: whatever game it is that you play with Drack, Kesh, and Vorn. Mini-flamethrowers! Role-playing! I was all ready for at least an Inquisition-style scene, but it's literally just

"We have all the pieces, let's play!"
*fade to black*
*quest over*

I think unfortunately if Suvi was any kind of gamer she'd get compared to Traynor even more than she does. (Comparisons I don't really agree with, since their similarities strike me as generally surface-level.)
