When playing for the first time, I developed a bizarre expectation of getting to choose Ryder's personal home settlement at the end. Well that doesn't happen, but if it did, which planet would you guys choose for your Ryder?
My choice is Kadara, since it's the planet with the best (and possibly most diverse?) climate and a fair bit of settlement already. I really liked all the houses dotting the landscape, especially since a fair bit were inhabited by regular settlers. After solving the gang rivalry it should be a lot more peaceful too, and the Pathfinder doesn't need to worry about outlaws anyway. I romanced Reyes and on the next playthrough I´ll probs go for Vetra, and Kadara seems a good fit both.
Meridian is probably safest location and the environment looks lovely, but I think I'd get vertigo from seeing continents in the sky instead of, well, sky. Prodromos is probably the most popular choice for a common colonist, but I'd hate to live on such a barren world.
Elaaden and Voeld seem like the worst choices, desert and ice desert respectively. How are they going to get anyone settle on an ice hell? On Elaaden you could maybe hope for sense of security from the Krogan neighbours, but it's still terrible. I could see this causing more tension on the Nexus in the future as more people get thawed.
I would've made a poll, but I don´t have poll privileges.

I think that could be a fun DLC, getting to set up a homestead for your Ryder. Picking from your colony worlds.
I for one would actually pick the Nexus. I always looked at my character as a space bound explorer, uncomfortable with being stuck on the ground. The Tempest is his real home, but on breaks I totally see the Nexus. If I had to pick one planet I would choose Meridian first and Kadara second.

I think story-wise, Ryder will end up on Meridian.
My favorite world design was Habitat 7, I would love to see those floating rocks out of the window of the Ryder's solitary cabin there, and set a rock garden around Alec's grave and take care of it...
I would also consider Kadara for a Reyes romancing Ryder, but maybe he actually will try to settle somewhere else, so Reyes has a bolt hole. heh. Where though? Havarl is another world I love very much, but it feels like an Angara sanctuary, so it will have to be a room with a balcony and a view of the waterfalls on Aya. :)

I would pick Kadara or Meridian. I can see my Ryder being attracted to the danger of Kadara. I see that place becoming a sort of lit up Tokyo. Meridian would most likely be the seat of power for humanity so I can see that place being developed faster than any other location.

Give me Meridian any day (I'd explore the shit out of it while "off duty"...and I'd find a way to strap some sort of gun to the Nomad and the Tempest (taking one from a Remnant ship sounds like a good idea, while I might strap one of them large Remnant bots (the biggest normal ones, not the builders!) to the Nomad )...hell, I already have a room there (daddy's cabin!), just seal off the corridor for some more space (work-bench to tinker with guns and armor etc.) If that doesn't fly? Well, I'll join the Krogan (I think Drak would approve, as would Kesh), they after all will at least not stab you in the back (like the people on Kadara!), no they will be upfront if they don't like you (but after helping them that seems a non-issue ) greetings LAX ps: I'd also take that space-station that we get to before Meridian (If I can live their more or less alone - well: With people I invite there! - then that sounds even better! I'd still keep daddy's cabin on the Hyperion though!)

First choice would be Nexus, definitely. If Nexus is not an option, then Meridian. Meridian is pretty cool tbh.

I actually thought about this quite a lot during the last few hours of my first playthrough. I liked Kadara the best, so I wanted my Ryder to settle there.

Meridian easy. Havarl is super pretty but you'd have to deal with rabbid alien dinosaurs. I don't think some salt or a picket fence would stop the Enoch from getting into my rhododendron. And frankly, the other planets are shitholes. Especially Voeld and Elaaden. I could live without SAM giving me temperature updates every time i went to pick up some milk.
Eos and Kadara are alright i guess but bleh, too sandy and too piratey.

Eos with Cora, in a comfy, prefab house on the shore of the lake, with a nomad car park. With Zap as the house dog. And Drack as the cranky grandpa who keeps the runts in check with terrible stories of the Rachni wars. And Peebee as the airheaded auntie who must NOT be left alone with the kids. And a repurposed Architect as the fake monster of the lake, to make the children wonders: in truth, it is the house alarm. And pray to whatever divinity you honour it catches you before lieutenant mum and pathfinder daddy find you. Jaal and Vetra will teach them how to shoot and pick apart any tech. Liam… dunno, he can come for the festivities, I suppose.

One thing that I find really annoying is that most of the planets are one big ecosystem. Like Eos and Elaaden are both just big deserts. And Voeld is just an ice planet. I would love to explore a planet that is more Earth like with various ecosystems on it and we go back and forth between different drop zones. It would feel more realistic to me.
I could see my Ryder settling on Meridian or the Nexus foremost. If he had to settle on one of the habitable planets, I'd probably see him settling on Eos. It feels like the one that he has a special connection with to some degree. Like, just him and Gil lounging about on the second floor of a pre-fab building just on the outskirts of Prodromos.

none. As soon as Ryder sees hab 7, he/she immediately grabs the steering wheel, turns the giant car around to head back to Earth. The hab 7 looks like crap and that green crap doesn't help either. Dad tries to stop his kid, but the kid smacks him upside the head knocking him out saving his life. As he/she starts to fall asleep in the pod, Ryder smiles knowing she will back home soon.
My Ryder would takeover the kett stronghold, on Eos, making it her place of residence

I Ryder would probably choose Voeld out of all the options.
The reasoning is because I like snow more than anything. Plus you can go skiing whenever you like and throw in some ice skating and sledging to boot, what's not to like. There's also the mystical intrigue of the creatures below the ice.
The only downside is that the Kett are everywhere but you can just pelt them with snowballs to keep them away .
If the environment becomes too tiresome then Ryder would take a holiday to one of the other planet settlements for a day or two.

I always looked at my character as a space bound explorer, uncomfortable with being stuck on the ground. The Tempest is his real home, but on breaks I totally see the Nexus. Ryders were born on Citadel after all, so Nexus would feel like "home" to them (strangely the game never comments on that fact). Besides it has best climate and best of what Initiative has offer. It can move from time to time as well, so "landscape" is never same.

They talk about it a bit, when you ask the coma twin what they remember about the MW, parents, etc. I remember Scott saying he played laser tag with turian and salarian kids. It's really striking how different a growing-up experience the Ryders had compared to any Shepard.
On topic: For my Scott/Vetra game, they'd probably live on Kadara but keep a small apt or something on the Nexus. It IS Pathfinder HQ so would probably be spending quite a bit of time there and not want to live on the ship while doing so. They have the where-to-live conversation (well, the start of it) post-ending at Meridian.
For Sara/Jaal, again with the Nexus apt but possibly live on Havarl close to the clan and wacky (creepy?) mother-in-law.
For Sara/Reyes (not played yet) her main home would be the Nexus but she'd keep a place in the hills of Kadara for Reyes to escape to when he got tired of Tartarus.
For a romance with either Cora or Liam, Eos seems the most likely place to end up.
For Peebee, the Tempest, always moving around.

I assume my Jaal-romanced Ryder would spend at least part of her time on Havarl, but also have a place on Meridian. She fought to reach it/save the cluster, so she's earned a land claim.
For my alternate run with Liam, Meridian/Nexus would be a fine fit.

My first Ryder who romanced Reyes would definitely settle on Kadara. The Bro Ryder I'm playing right now probably wouldn't mind Voeld. With the vault active, the planet would eventually start to warm up a bit and start to resemble Scandinavian fjords or something, haha, and that's not too bad.
For me personally I'd choose Aya. It seems like the most tropical, and I love water and beaches and palm trees.
