If you have such a problem with "strong women," give all the strong women to lesbians. Problem solved. They're ours now! I second and third this motion!

The OP is so incoherent that this has to be a troll. It comes across as the ramblings of a mad man.

I don't understand the obsession with Sara Ryder. In MET and all Dragon Age games, all the trailers and covers showed maleShep, malequisitor, maleHawke, etc. And that was perfectly fine. You can play as female if you want but canonically we all know it's male. Female companions became just as bad. Dragon Age Origins and II were fine. Leliana and Merrill good girls, Morrigan and Isabella bad girls, nice and easy. In Mass Effect 1, both Liara and Tali were nice girls. Here comes ME2 with MIRANDA and JACK, both horrible women. Miranda is mean and Jack has a potty-mouth. Jack is also bald and barely wearing anything. Like, wth? And you have characters like Vivienne and Samara who refuse to romance me in any way. Like I just don't get it. Based on their personalities, I'm not sure I'm gonna like Vetra or Cora. No, canonically it's "the grey warden/the inquisitor/shepard" - no gender given at all (!), so nope it isn't canonically a male character Also Miranda isn't mean, damned she has issues and is insecure (just like, you know, millions of people out there!) if you help her out you learn why (more so if you romance her!), same for Jack (even worse issues!)! Vetra I might like, as for Cora? We'll see (I think I might like her, once I've convinced her that it's ok that I've taken her place (she was the pathfinder-replacement after all and in the end you get the job and she's not incapacitated or dead)) As for "strong female characters" - as long as they don't start making weak male ones (or dumb male ones) to make the women shine even more (or pander to SJW-Stuff, which IMHO they have not really done so far, thank god!) As I've once said on the old BSN: I don't want a male or female hero - I want a hero who just happens to be male or female, no special treatment for either gender etc. (!) Same for companions, don't make the male ones look like incompetent fools (and the females like they can take on the whole galaxy alone) and I am fine with it (!) Note: I disliked not being able to change Vivienne in DA:I (not to mention romancing her)...her pro-mage-circles stance isn't my cup of tea (mage oppression is like racism in a way: You were born black (or: With magic) and now you are a subhuman monster and we have to discriminate against you...sure mages are more dangerous than the average normal person, but that still doesn't make this RIGHT! Mages mostly only act up BECAUSE OF THE OPPRESSION they suffer!) greetings LAX

Kaidan, your icon is amazingly distracting for some reason. Every time I look at it, and then I get confused, and then I figure out what's going on, and then I'm like "Why?" and then I'm like "Teehee." And then I forget whatever the hell my joke was going to be. Anyway, it's obvious Sarah's canon this time around, because Liam is a major-league hottie. Unless he turns out to be as straight as a U turn, in which case Scott is canon. T'chuh! Came for the feminist discussion, stayed for the entrancing Kaiden icon. What was the topic again?

Miranda was a woman not a girl.
Anyways, I found her extreme insecurity deep down inside hyper feminine.

Any dissent? *before anyone can dissent* Motion passes. A team of modders and fanfic writers will be formed to convert Cassandra, Vivienne, Morrigan, Miranda, Jack, Kaliyo, Akaavi, Kira, Bastilla, Aribeth, Imoen, Viconia, and any others I've forgotten before 0500 GMT on March the 21st. Meeting adjourned.

Is this something that is really up for debate... or discussion? I'm calling Troll Post, but stilling continuing.
I doubt it has anything to do with 'strong' character. I would assume they're going for a more realistic route when it comes to any characters they design. The majority of female characters that Bioware has produced have been pretty well written. Just because you don't approve of them, doesn't mean otherwise. Of course everyone is welcome to their own option, but of course they should continue making them. Fans loved each character named for their own reasons.
Characters like Vivienne, Samara, and even Cassandra were made out to be very powerful and independent women. Just because they were not romancable (omit Cass), does that make them bad characters? Jack's character is likely designed the way she is, because she's insecure and has been through some shit. Her physical appearance and off-putting behavior is just a defense mechanism.
Point here being? Bioware almost always nails it when it comes to designing realistic/relative characters. Is everyone going to like that? Of course not. Is it going to change? That's up to them to decide, but I don't see it happening.
We've been given characters who are: insecure, promiscuous/reckless, strong/independent, sweet/innocent, intelligent/dorky, etc... I don't really see the problem here lol. Maybe I don't even see the point of this thread.

Oh this is funny... - Mass Effect (DA) is not a 'banging simulator' so if Vivienne or Samara have other considerations that preclude their interest in you, that's their choice.
- I'm unclear about where you are seeing this 'obsession', Sara's 'trailer time' has been equal to Scott's (though Ryder is canonically female).
- Miranda and Jack were both interesting characters, more interesting characters, please.
- Cora and Vetra have barely said a dozen words in the trailers, it's far too early to judge surely?
Sorry, but... Do you mean Sara Ryder exists, canonically? Or that the 'new' Pathfinder is female? The former is certainly true, but is not the second up to the player?

Personally I am ok with that but I think Isabela was not in question to being with.

So you want them to dislike you and want you to go away so they can get a "real" man instead? Sure, if that is what float your boat. I rather have interesting companions.

It's interesting how quick people are to wield the X-phobic brand when someone happens to disagree with them these days. But I'm not, thank your for your concern. I just happen to be sick of double standards - if the same thing had been told about Sera, who plenty of lesbian women disliked for reasons that are their own and that I will not judge, by men, that she would be converted...yeah, I don't think it would have been the same.

Sorry if i misinterpret you, but I'm 99.9% sure: No, no, it's my fault, I've spent too much time on Tumblr where people have the same kind of speech without a hint of irony and I've just returned to the BSN recently. So basically: (I used to sport the same haircut a long time ago, so it's even more fitting. )
