Keri T'Vessa (Official Thread)

The only thing that worries me about that is that she is still listed as a "fling" option. I am all like, she is not a fling to Alex! I've also been dropping subtle hints that it's time that Mass Effect explored the idea of having serious romance options that are not squadmates. I like the idea of permanent romance not being tied to being stuck on a ship with someone, let alone the lack of professionalism in romancing a squadmate. My Ryder isn't a cad and she would never romance a squadmate, and I don't think she should get short changed by the writers in the romance department because of how she wrote herself while I was playing.

Keri is supposed to be Diana Allers 2.0, but her dialogue is so much sweeter, and her backstory has so much more substance. I've enjoyed playing with this character in my fics so far. I also really want to Bioware to expand on the being disowned by her family storyline. Dealing with this when it comes to someone in my personal life, it would be nice if this wasn't just a gratuitous nod to people who might have trust issues because of that kind of betrayal.

The other thing I would love for them to expand on: She is in the best position to be Shadow Broker of Heleus. Honest regardless of what answer choices you gave her (she put herself through hell for Ryder whether you support the Initiative propaganda machine or not), she has the trust of everyone so long as your Ryder gave her honest answers, and she could easily wield that as a weapon. Especially against Tann.
