Suvi Anwar (Official Thread)

Salarian male/female imbalance is a cultural imposition rather than a biological phenomenon. Fertilized eggs produce female offspring, while non-fertilized eggs produce males. If they wanted a more even spread, which would not only be highly practical for an expedition such as the Andromeda Initiative but would also give more freedom-of-opportunity to both females and males of the species, all they would need to do would be to fertilize half the eggs.

Personally, it seems pretty obvious to me that the reasons for not seeing many females of various species in the original trilogy were thought of because Bioware didn't want to make female models*, rather than the other way around. This is a new start and a fresh chance to fix that, both in-universe and without, so I hope we see more female salarians and krogan (although it looks like we still won't have a female salarian as a main character).

*Which ended up being completely backwards anyway, since salarians seem to have zero external sexual dimorphism and krogan have very little, so it wouldn't have actually been very hard at all to include them in the first game. It's also backwards for turians, but in a different way: They are not a sexist species on paper, but we still ended up seeing 99.9999% males of their species. Only humans and quarians have had much diversity so far.

Anyway, on to the topic.

It's not the same bob. Here they both are:


They are similar; both swept under and to the left, but not the same. Also, they look more different from the side/back where you can see that ME:A's bob has more loose strands, which might look like bedhead to some but I rather like it

Anyway, I would actually be 100% okay with them porting over all of DA:I's hair... as long as they also make a lot of nice new styles (and remove the sideburns from them). I'd encourage that, even, since it would mean more options for us without much effort from them. Doesn't look like they did, though.

Lastly, the DA:I bob is almost the only one I actually like, so I wouldn't consider it part of DA:I's terrible hair.

Poor Cullen

Suvi has a Scottish accent? Love those! And when I hear them it's usually from men, so that's cool.

*Interest increases*

...Oh. And it started off so well, too. I can see the appeal of exploring a religious scientist as a character, but not sure how I'd like them as a romance option (and I know we don't know if she even is one yet). Being religious wouldn't necessarily be a deal-breaker in a relationship for me, but I have a hard time seeing such disparate worldviews working in tandem. Ingame, it'll depend heavily on what kind of dialogue options Sara has, too.

Especially considering her religion is probably not a real-world one; there isn't much logic in transposing current religious ideas onto it ( ideas that are becoming superannuated even by the standards of most religious people anyway).

For whatever reason, reading "the divine intelligence behind all of creation" made me think of her as being part of a Reaper cult Although, could you imagine if that was the case, on a meta-level? We as a player would be horrified since we know all about the Reapers, but Ryder wouldn't.

I know I might be the odd-one-out since I'm a non-alcoholic (and I also know you wouldn't personally have to get alcohol if you went out for drinks), but I would find it much more interesting if they did something else to get to know each other. Even just gazing into space and discussing the universe would not only intrigue me much more, but fit very nicely into her character, it would seem.

Also really hoping this doesn't mean (if she's a romance) that she just instantly falls for Ryder and/or that the romance might be more of a casual fling type of deal. I currently expect to romance nobody, but I can't help but hope there's someone cool.

Huh, this'll be the first time hearing her in something else for me. Will be interesting to hear her do a Scottish accent rather than Irish.
