The same place Liara got them? Liara drew hers on I was going to say that PB might have too, but looking at the last trailer again, it doesn't look like it...that's just weird

Providing that a lot of people misspell Sara's name as Sarah, it bothers me. The complicated scheme of having your named brother and sister in your game, while in the other game you can rename and customize that character is not to my liking, so I just going to disconnect Sara-as-a-sister of a M!Ryder and Scott-as-a-brother of a F!Ryder from the idea of the potential protagonist. This is why I specifically do not want to use Sara and Scott as an alternative way to say "the protagonist", and keep it reserved specifically as an NPC name. Because if I use it as a protagonist name, it would be like playing Tali or Thane Shepard. Check out this : Team Briefing.At 1:40, you can see Scott and Sarah side by side during it. Sarah is spelt with an H. Bad Bioware changing their minds! I know I'm confused too, so I'm using Sarah for the time being but I half expect in the game for it to be Sara again Damn, I didn't notice that...damnit Bioware, stop changing your mind! (There was also Khet -> Kett and Costa -> Kosta)

I plan not to change my Ryder's name, but I can see why you would not want to call them with default names.

Well his favorite ability is Havoc strike, an ability only the Turian havoc soldier had in MEMP. I'm guessing Liam is our soldier oh, I didn't know that, the engineering studies totally misled me then I'd have bet on the krogan being the soldier knowing the vanguard is Cora... Maybe Drack is the adept then.. or the engineer, who knows . I'm thinking soldier: Liam (Havoc Strike being soldier power in ME3) vanguard: Cora (Biotic Charge, 'nuff said ) infiltrator: Jaal (what, he has sniper rifle on Funko ) adept: Drack (He looks like shaman to me, and ME3MP krogan adept was shaman) engineer: Vetra (who better calibrate than engineer ) sentinel: PB (We've seen her have both tech and biotic powers)

I'm thinking headshape/eyes shape/lips etc will be based on Ryders too. If not, we could end up with hilarious "mama Ryder milkman scandal" results where the kids are for example, completly white while the game script makes Alec an asian. I personally hope it's just preset, eye color and skin tone...I love Alec's default look, but I want to play around in CC, so I hope that if I just mess with default preset it won't change Alec

The proper way to refer to your player character with gender specificity. Sara and Scott don't work outside of pre-established Mass Effect conversations. Just like I can't throw "John" out there in a regular conversation and expect people to know what the hell I am talking about. Not even in a conversation about a male protaganist in sci-fi shooters in a galaxy ruled by a multi species conglomerate. John Shepard, John-117? Please specify. Plus RydHer/RydHim throws banging into the name. Banging in a game where most people seem concerned about nothing more than who you will be able to bang. I thought we settled this ages ago - the accepted nomenclatures are Rybro and Rysis, as well as BroDer and SisDer. Well, reading this thread, apparently nothing is settled But it doesn't matter, because we understand each other anyway

"Good" is good. "Lawful" is not good (or more good), it's just lawful. Put too much emphasis on the latter and you get Judge Dredd. Or Samara to use a ME example. This. Garrus (chaotic good) isn't less "good" than, say, Samara (lawful good). They both kill "evil" people without a second thought, they both believe they are doing the right thing, they just have different ideology (Garrus's do what you believe is right and screw the rules vs. Samara's justicar code)

Cora has Biotic Charge, Liam has Havoc Strike...combine that with Vanguard Ryder and it's going to be terrifying Oh my god, I know, right? My interest in her just shot up beyond "Mildly intrigued" to "MIGHTY NEED". Some of the most ridiculous fun I ever had in Mass Effect was Vanguard Shepard, Wrex and Grunt in the arena in 3 on insanity. If that can be my playstyle THE WHOLE GAME, she'll have to be the most unlikeable character ever to not be on the short list of #1 Spacebros. Damnit, Bioware, I NEVER hung out with the human squaddies routinely. Why must you tempt me so with melee goodness? I have no strong feelings about her hair, beyond hoping something very like it is available to Ryder. IT HAS TWO TONES HOLY SHENIKIES PLEASE LET US HAVE SOME FUN WITH HAIR COLOR THIS TIME.IKR! Imagine: various awesome hairstyles, color wheel for hair, highlights ...no, wait, don't imagine that, disappointment if it's not implemented it would hurt too much >.<

Okay, Time to flip this topic on its head xD We don't know how long Alec was working on SAM, or how. So random thoughts I got while reading this thread. Imagine about 15 years before Andromeda. So the twins are young etc... Sarah: Daddy! Can I play with SAM? Alec: Daddies busy honey. So is SAM. Sarah: But I wanna play and Scotts been a grouch! Alec: Ok fine. SAM can you entertain Sarah while I finish this? SAM: Of course Alec. What would you like to do Sarah? Sarah: Hide and Seek! SAM: Ok, I have activated an orange light in this room, can you find it? Sarah runs off and begins looking the room for the light with a giggle. Sarah: FOUND IT!!!! *Sarah jumps on Alecs back* It's here Daddy! *she taps his wrist, where his Omnitool is glowing* Alec: Very funny SAM. SAM: Time with your Children is good Alec, and you have had a trying day. I would advise you relax and spend some time with them. Alec: Perhaps you are right. Shall we get Scott and watch a vid Honey. Sarah: YEAH! *Sarah jumps down and runs off to find Scott* Alec: Pick a vid from their collection SAM. SAM: Already done Alec. It is ready for play in observation room two. Alec: Thank you Sam. Goddes, why are your posts always so adorable *melts*

Rydude, Rydette and Rydad ...precisely because it lack the double entendre that both Bro/SisRyder and your proposition posses Though I tend to use Ryder if gender is irrelevant and Sara/Scott when talking about specific characters

Spirits, please no! Tali (Liara and Wrex to some extent too) was walking codex entry in ME1, I had enough of those...if you really want that, make conversation with them on certain topics unlock those codex entries I can see instead of him spouting facts, he can tell war stories like Zaeed did which covers different parts of krogan history. Like for example he can tell a story about "how he landed on some toxic world and stomped a Rachni Queen into muck" and that unlocks the Codex entry for the Rachni and Rachni War. That is pretty much what I had in mind, no exposition, just let them be their own person and let conversations with them unlock related codex entries. And Zaeed's stories are awesome, I never get tired of them Spirits, please no! Tali (Liara and Wrex to some extent too) was walking codex entry in ME1, I had enough of those...if you really want that, make conversation with them on certain topics unlock those codex entries I think I remember one of the developers saying they're making sure to avoid the info dump romances. I was actually fine with it because I was interested in all that. Especially when you consider that Tali was the only Quarian in the 1st game, but I can see why other people would have a problem. That is a relief However, don't take this as me disliking characters that spout exposition, I don't mind them, but it would be much preferable if they were NPCs instead of squadmates...let squadmates be unique and interesting personalities instead of glorified codex entries

I like the idea of a Lawful Neutral, by-the-book type character. It would be a nice contrast to Garrus. Most turians seem to fall in this. Garrus himself said he wasn't a very good turian, because he wasn't very "by the book." Vetra is probably going to be the complete polar opposite of Garrus, just to avoid comparison. So I see her being lawful neutral all the way. Wouldn't polar opposite to Garrus be lawful evil (At least I see Garrus as chaotic good)? With his dislike of rules and evil people, his nemesis would be someone evil he can't lay a finger on because they are technically following the law. I'm still hoping for complete chaotic neutral rogue...though that will probably be Peebee ...but I will probably love Vetra no matter what her personality is like (unless she's like Vivienne )

Maybe he is one who reflects on the past of the krogan? Wrex was a krogan who focused on the future, from seeing the krogan as having none to giving it his all to grant them one. Grunt was a krogan who focused on the present, not really caring about things other than what was in front of him like his next fight. I think you've got this one exactly right @hanako! How better to introduce who the Krogan are and where they came from to a potentially new Mass Effect audience than a grizzled old-timer. He'd be pretty much be a walking codex entry. Hopefully they give him some interesting abilities for us grizzled Mass Effect veteran players to utilize. Spirits, please no! Tali (Liara and Wrex to some extent too) was walking codex entry in ME1, I had enough of those...if you really want that, make conversation with them on certain topics unlock those codex entries

Actual reason: Because playing as someone in their 50s is still unpalatable to most players.
Game reason: Something bad happens with father + that AI implant plays some role in Pathfinder selection. Does the name "Geralt of Rivia" tell you anything? I hear he is quite popular But in all seriousness, I don't dislike playing an older character, however if I have a choice I prefer either young protagonist or one with ambiguous age. on topic: why do I think we become pathfinder? I hope we have to prove ourselves, being special is starting to be tiresome

An issue with this is that if this does end up being another saga with the same characters people won't be able to romance them in the next game if they change their minds. Of course you couldn't romance any of the ME2 romances in ME3 unless you were carrying over so it could still work. They can always pull up a Jacob. Only good Jacob is a dead Jacob

Between Drack's brute strength, Vetra's calibrations and my good looks, no one will be able to stand in our way You can distract them while Drack kills everyone on his own. Vetra will be the moral support while she calibrates. Win every time. Pretty much

That could work...lacks the blue hair, but I guess her head is already blue sooo (I just thought of Chloe from Life is Strange whe reading that ) If Peebee has a vibe of Chloe for LiS will be veeery complicated to me to decide LI, definetly. I shiped Max and Chloe SO HARD Also, someone said Peebee reminds him/her to a happy Jack. So your connection with Chloe is not so far IMO Ha, I would love to see asari Chloe!

[ PONDERS] I bet Kallo's some combination of the two. He knows what to do, he's very smart, and he's flown the Tempest for a long time. But flying in practice/simulations means nothing when you have to have actual combat. I doubt that he's STG, because we've seen that before. So I think he's green in that aspect. A part of me expects to be having a lot of conversations after escaping certain death. RYDER: Hey, now, wasn't that fun? KALLO: Why would that have been fun? You were almost caught in a pyroclastic flow! RYDER: Well-- KALLO: From a volcano erupting acid.RYDER: ... KALLO: So? RYDER: Your flying was fantastic.KALLO: Ah-oh? Th-thank you-- wait a moment-- Reminds me of "Truck!" "I know" "TRUCK! Aaah....you're enjoying this"
