All this "you aren't qualified" and attitude from a woman who has presided over a complete disaster and been unable to establish a single colony.
Ryder lacks enough attitude, at least early on. I don't want Addison's respect, I want her to shove off.

She's not the only one who deserve a punch in the face needs a Renegade style interrupt.

She needs to put a little less make up on. I get that they want us to feel like we are juniors so we just have to learn to rise above it, but yeah you could use an interrupt or two on the people that are really rude.

What Addison needs are better facial animations.

What Addison needs are better facial animations. I think the same applies to almost everyone in the Andromeda Galaxy, but she certainly needs a better dialogue than "My face is tired".

She's not the only one who deserve a punch in the face needs a Renegade style interrupt. I've counted at least six times where I could some Renegade enlightenment. Like these "Wake up my mom now!" protesters. For Shepherd's sake, I woke up soldiers to fight Kett on this goddamn radioactive wasteland while you are sitting in comfort on Nexus. One more word and I will wake up your dear mommy, give both of you rifles and send you running after kett in a desert. Ryder is such a wimp at times.

One more word and I will wake up your dear mommy, give both of you rifles and send you running after kett in a desert. Ryder is such a wimp at times. I hate a lot of minor characters from the Nexus, they literally done nothing to help you or the Initiative find a home or colonize a planet. They treated you like an arse, and demand you must do things for them. They vent their anger on you who haven't done anything to them, and is possibly their only hope. As much as I can sympathize and understand their frustration. It's impossible to use logic to explain why wake up a non-essential person, when the resources are tight and the Nexus is barely keeping it together is not that simple. I've wanted to see a dialogue like "Ok, then explain what make your families so special? There's a lot more people who's dying to see their families, but they have enough patience and sense to wait. Are you going to volunteer to help the colony on the frontier or do some extra work for the Nexus in return, if I woke your families up? Did you pull your own weight or any weight at all? No? Then bugger off! Bunch of spoiled freeloaders. If this is an RPG game with expanded dialogue system. You can bet one of the option is possible for Ryder to grow a spine and scold them.

I love Foster Addison. She's the first character who didn't seem to think the sun shined out of Alec Ryder's ass. I 100% agree with her "You're not really a pathfinder until you've path-found something" bit. I liked her poetic skepticism, and the fact that she left a cushy job she was satisfied with in the Milky Way is honestly hilarious. First character that didn't seem like a total cardboard cutout to me.
The Friends of Foster Addison Bandwagon will grow... mark my words!

Overall I found her to be a pretty reasonable, all around well rounded character. She annoyed me on my intial encounter, but wasn't an insufferable ass like Sparatus in ME1.

I wouldn't exactly renegade-interrupt Addison, but I would like to give her a piece of my mind about people questioning me five minutes after I got here, while said people sat on their asses for over a year getting sweet fa done. She's welcome to criticize me if I spend 14 months bumbling around without results, but not before.
By her own logic, she's no Director of Colonial Affairs before she's actually directed some colonial affairs...

I'm glad Addison doesn't "think the sun shines out of Alec Ryder's ass", I agree.
But she doesn't have to be a bitch about it.

Addison, that bald chick who told me to go to hell, Director Tann, Addison's assistant, the human doctor who wants me to collect plants. They all could use a nice punch to the face. Andromeda is full of assholes.

I 100% agree with her "You're not really a pathfinder until you've path-found something" bit. In the exact same way you're not a colonial affairs director until you've managed to start a colony. She's not even remotely close to a position were you can be smug about anything, and there should be a dialog option that acknowledges it.

Look at it this way, Your the Heads kid, 20/22 odd years old, Not supposed to be a path finder (Cora was) And at best, you had some alliance training, Not an N7, not an Asari trained commando, Just a kid with a rifle.
I'm suprised she didn't just airlock everyone right then and there

The funny thing about Addison is that at some point she turns into your fangirl and even starts asking for inspirational quotes. I cringe every time, lol. Guess that was meant as character development.

Speaking of Addison and Tann. I find it highly amusing that both characters weren't so different, and she shared authorative/controlling trait, and a level of incompetence with Tann more than she realize.
While she constantly decries about Tann's over-controlling way, his interference in her department, all while questioning his competence. She's basically done the same thing as him, when trying to delay the departure of the Tempest via red tape, authorize the creation of satellites that can override Initiative protocols and procedures, also arm exiles to use them as supply escorts. Both of her decisions backfired as the satellites are being used to steal outpost supplies, and armed exiles immediately turned pirate.

Ha, don't even get me started here, because "I" in "AI" clearly stands for "Incompetence". I do fear however that writers didn't realize how dumb some of their characters and problems are.

Heh, I'm tempted to call the Nexus's leadership (specifically Addison and Tann) as the Council 2.0. or slightly less insufferable version of it. Granted, I do enjoy the politics plot or how each leader has their own motivation, even Kesh who's more compassionate prioritize her peoples' interest first. With that being said, I share your fear as the writers don't seem to know how to write a "flawed" character properly, and they underestimate the problem that was cause by those supposedly flawed characters.

Actually, that's the crazy thing. In ME you had Udina and Anderson where one was incompetent while the other had your back. However, here, Tann may be a racist obnoxious incompetent jerkass but he has your back. Addison? She talks smack about your dead dad HOURS after his death and then throws shade on you yet is ostensibly more competent than Tann.
Screw it, I'm with the racist Salarian.

I remember video about his VO where he was described as obnoxious personality wise, but still trying to do something good. Guess that fits him good enough, but that doesn't neglect the fact that I wanted to scold him (and of course couldn't) for his screw up with krogans.
