As any theory which involves TIME, I'm sold and I love it. 
As any theory which involves TIME, I think in terms of narrative could be a complete DANGER for the next game's plot . Once you put "time" in scene, that easily can evolve into a sort of "deus ex machina".

However, regarding to the gravity well you mention (referred in the first cinematic trailer) it would be AWESOME if we can see the Andromeda's past through some gravity wells. (Like Flashbacks but lorewise where you can watch the beginning of Kett empire, first Angara, etc.)

I think it's perfect.
Her VA sounds like a mature interesting person with Courtney Taylor's (aka: Subject Zero) vibes. Like a happy Jack.
At the same time, she is kinda young (what she says, her attitude...)
She is young for Asari standards (200-300 years) but really OLD for Human standards.
So, I think her VA encapsulates that double nature (a young mature, an old young...) pretty well.

Or it's just me fangirling, I don't know, I LOVED JANE IN THE WALKING DEAD SEASON 2 OKEY???? 

Well, I'm glad to see even with different theories all of us agree the "YOU ARE SPECIAL" treatment is kinda overused. 

And I agree with you fialka , maybe we end up like the Pathfinder waaaay later in the game.
The problem is we know we have to be the squad leader of missions pretty soon in game. So... what kind of justification they will use? 

DAMN IT IGN! YOU ONLY HAD ONE JOB!!!

Yes! (English is not my first language so probably I lost a lot of content, but) the way I understood the briefing only the Pathfinders have the ability of switching and using all profiles regarding the implant.
However, if all the crew already have connection with SAM through implants (but we don't have the Pathfinder program installed) it would be easier if Dad Ryder orders SAM to download the Pathfinder Program in you.

I don't know, maybe it's me trying to avoid the "special snowflake" treatment. If the five Pathfinders have that profile switching, at least Playable Ryder wouldn't be so special as Shepard (I touched the Beacon) was.


Anyway, I'm really enjoying all the comments and theories 
In addition, ivory Samoan I think you are right when you point out that maybe we get the Pathfinder position late in the game, the same way we know we will use the N7 armor at some point.

I didn't know where to post this. I looked for a similar topic in General discussion and also in character's subsection. I didn't find any.

I read some theories here in this forum which tried to explain the reason why we presumably end as the Pathfinder instead of Cora: SAM choosing us, our father KIA or MIA, space magic, the power of parent love...
I've been thinking about it and this is my theory:


What if DadRyder transfers SAM to us in order to save us during the first mission?





The first mission usually is the "tutorial" one. There are two possible escenarios:

1) Reconnaissance mission. Our father goes solo to Habitat 7 and we go too with our squad. Maybe we lead or, presumably, Cora leads or squad. 

2) Before that reconnaissance mission there is some kind of accident (as Gamespot pointed out) maybe we end on a planet relying on ourselves, maybe Liam is also there. We try to re-establish communication with our father, and he tells us he is also on the planet looking for us.



The thing is at some point during that first mission (where tutorial shows us how to shoot and use basic soldier powers) we find an enemy we simply can't defeat. Maybe a big space bear/ Feid. Liam (and Cora if she is also present) are down and we are on our own. Dad Ryder is trying to instruct us through the comm, but he quickly realizes you won't win or survive to that fight. For example: you are a soldier by default and you run out of bullets. You have no melée weapon yet.
Your only way to survive this is with another profile (adept, vanguard, engineer...) but you don't have the skill.

That's why somehow he transfers SAM to you. He gives you the program in order to save you.
That way also you as a player learn the basic of that profile change Pathfinder implants allow. Tutorial.
Thanks to this, you survive to the fight. However, the communication with Alec Ryder is lost. When you arrive to the rendez-vous point, there are signs of violence and his helmet. He is MIA and pressumed dead.

Also, as SAM successfully was transfered to your soldier's implants or whatevs, you are in fact the Pathfinder instead of Cora.
Maybe at first that is only a title because Cora still in charge. Maybe in Nexus nobody approves what your father did (in order to save you) although without that decision you and your team would be dead. 

Also, bonus points if Alec Ryder is not dead during the game, you slowly realize that and also more bonus if he keeps something of SAM technology and he goes rogue on his own.



Well, this was my theory.
If you don't like it I have more

Jules de Jongh was Faith's voice in Mirror Edge 2: www.imdb.com/name/nm0209035/ 

Gary Carr is that Jazz guy from Downton Abbey???: www.imdb.com/name/nm3338149/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1 

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 

EXACTLY!!!




Also, great cartoon TV series too. The plot and characters were amazing  
Even the hundred plans Xanathos had  

YEP. 
It's a fashion I had the last days tho. I usually stay with my avatar like forever (unless someone else uses the same picture, then I feel I had to change it). 
But now I intend to be less active in the forum (expect for the Twitter Thread) so fortunately I will stop my avatarlypse... for some time 

Maybe there is some kind of improvisation in the middle of the Dad crisis.
Maybe Cora is not around and we are forced to use our Dad's implant in order to survive the first mission, and then... well, you are technically the Pathfinder because the installation of the SAM implant has been completed.
