Make PeeBee the Commando and Cora the Arkee-ologist. It would make sense to have an actual Asari talking about being a Huntress every ten minutes and a chubby faced white woman, with that haircut, is probably better suited to a leather mid-rif and acting like a 15 year old white girl in her spare time. These roles should be traded and PeeBee should be the Asari and Cora should be a human. As the biotic god intended. Still complaining, I see. Still whining about complainers too I see. :Ryncol:

i think Cora is perfect as she is now Well, she's not perfect, but she's not bad, either. I like her professionalism. She does tend to blather on a bit about the Asari huntresses, but it's no big deal.

Peebee is what Liara should've been like in the first place, not the socially immature virginal school girl that she was in ME1. Oh dear lord no. Liara in ME1 might have been little more than a walking codex entry but I'll take that over PB any day. I consider PB alright, so therefore, she is(the same principle applies to Liara, but in reverse).

I like Liara more than Peebee, but I agree. The way Liara was written in ME1 was painfully bad. The only thing the character had going for her was that Tali and Garrus were not well-written either. The ME1 cast, with the exception of Ashley and Wrex, didn't develop interesting personalities until later games. Sadly they killed ME1 Ashley and had her replaced with a benign clone that was better off going down with Udina. And the only way to get ME1 Wrex back is to not cure the Genophage and blow his corpse out the airlock. *Salutes the memorial wall* Ashley suffered from Chris L'Etoile leaving Bioware. Can someone please bring that guy back?

Hmmm... They should have just went with the other pathfinders as squadmates. We'd have a pragmatic Asari commando, an Ex Spectre, that Salarian wasn't bad either. This actually has some merit. Me likey.

Nope. And Mac Walters has me muted. So everyobe else gets a "fix incoming." while I'm left to contemplate lifes mysteries. Like how come the Asari is a white girl and why is the white girl an Asari? *Snips Ryncol* Because the chars in MEA are lazy rehashes of previous BioWare chars. Cora is a cross between Sera and Miranda. Peebee is a Liara/Sera hybrid but the reverse of Cora. Naturally, that's why they have these two bitch during missions. (for the record take these two on Coras loyalty mission, it's comedy gold.) Wait, what? Cora is nothing like Miranda or sera. More kaiden and jack. Peebee you're spot on add she is she has near everything Sera has but the annoying parts.

She was total subdued waifu in the medbay closet. ME2 and 3 ultimately made sticking with her the whole way through more rewarding, but ME1 alone was pretty flat.

These roles should be traded and PeeBee should be the Asari and Cora should be a human. As the biotic god intended. Hmm, I actually like that idea as long as t the voice actress for PeeBee stays the same since it is better suited for a human style of talking than an Asari. At least what I've grown accustom to hearing that is PeeBee's a maiden, which is essentially a teenager. Dr. Lexi comments on this, at one point. Also, for some in-game reasoning, her dialogue is being filtered through our translator. She may be using asari slang and metaphors, and these are being rendered in "Human" for the human crew. Uktimately, she's just supposed to be sassy, rebellious and a bit silly. Dialogue is the easiest way to convey that impression. Christine Lakin's VA, and some good writing and development, sold me on PeeBee. Much to my relief, I actually really like her.

Naturally, that's why they have these two bitch during missions. (for the record take these two on Coras loyalty mission, it's comedy gold.)Cora's nagging at Peebee drove me nuts when we were driving around Kadara. So I'll take Peebee on Cora's loyalty mission and so Peebee can tell Cora a thing or two. This is actually a cool idea. I'm now looking forward to learning whether PeeBee has any snark or opinions to offer. I'm focusing strongly on biotics for this fresh (not NG+) PT, so we'll have a Biotic Assault theme going.

The ME1 cast, with the exception of Ashley and Wrex, didn't develop interesting personalities until later games. I know I'm in the minority in feeling this way, but I thought that ME1 Kaidan was good. He was the seasoned professional. He was perceived as quiet and subdued due to migraines, which I can confirm is definitely a thing (withdrawing for pain management, that is). He was willing to talk, though, and had mature perspectives. Kaidan always feels like a friend in ME1, and only gets better. I agree that ME1 Wrex and Ash were very good. I miss ME1 Ashley. ☹️ I have mixed feelings about Wrex's later writing. He was still Wrex in ME2. In ME3, he somehow became the comic relief character. I guess "Citadel" is to blame. It annoys me, though, and threatens to cheapen the character. Garrus really had a great opportunity for growth, but just wasn't well written. (More accurately, he just wasn't written at all. His content was very sparse.) Fortunately, he took all of those ME1 lessons to heart and became awesome by the time we met Archangel.

Well as long as they personalities as well or they'd have to give Cora one to begin with. Without her annoying Asari Huntress shtick a miasma of pure suck would follow her around. A giant black hole of tedium and depression threatening to engulf anyone in her general vicinity, Goths and Emos would outright disintegrate leaving nothing but a pair of smoldering Dock' Martins and gauges. The last thing you'd see was her stupid ventriloquist dummy face with her creepy ass smile before you curl up into a ball, clutching at your chest, searching the hollow void where your soul used to be.
Though i admit i might be a tad biased, i just really fucking hate Cora, i don't know if that comes across.

Maybe not his personal story but I really liked his insights. In ME1's team, Kaidan was the brain and Ashley was the heart (+good looking chick ).

I like Cora, but I think they should have moved the discussions you have with Lexi about dad's memories to her. Could have given Cora a bit more meat.

I thought Cora was mostly fine, but I think PeeBee definitely should have been a human, simply because she uses far too many English idioms. They could've easily handwaved it by say, making Kalinda a human, so it would make a lot more sense for her to say half of her dialogue.

Well, I think Cora had some serious mental problems. Her constant talking about her time as a huntress shows that she struggels to find a new role. She always looks to others to tell her what to do. Towards the end of the game she finds her role and ackknowledges her problems. It was a believable transformation. That makes her interresting in my opinion.
But hey, that means you have to actually think about the character.
