I love Scott, but Shepard was pretty "meh" for me. He was way too machismo, too much of a "typical stoic space marine" type, both in appearance and personality. I love my casual Scott. He's cute and sassy. He loves adventure and he's going to find a way to enjoy the trial by fire he's been thrown into. It's fun. With the right character, I feel like ME:A has a light, pulpy feel, like space Indiana Jones. I actually really like him as a protagonist. That's a main reason I hope they actually salvage this and continue with Ryder in a possible ME:A2. I feel the same. I'm not finished yet, so this opinion is subject to change, but my favorite character so far is my casual Scott.
My hope for MEA2 is to have a bit of a time jump so that some of the characters have excuses to be off doing other things (or to have developed more interesting personalities and/or new motivations to be doing things) while making room for newer more betterer people.
Yeah, I hope they just replace a lot of the cast, like the trilogy did. I think it was way over sold to me that the current cast is definitely going to stick with you. Even like Jaal says he turned down a role he wanted in the Resistance, but he only commits to sticking around "at least for now". It definitely seemed to me like they were just explaining why people would be around for the DLC. I think it would flow fine with a year or two jump having people go off to do their own thing.

I kinda wish that once Edmonton team (the one that works on the Secret IP and was making the OT) is free they'll have a new assignment: remaster of the OT. With their capabilities they can fit 3 games in one without cutting content, with nice transitions. And maybe do something about their romanceable characters, like making Kaidan be from the start, or not killing off Thane, or finally having some gaylien. Also, endings fix somehow so they can continue in the MW while still not knowing that the AI existed and that they flew away. I mean, I know it's not happening, but I can dream. That's a nice dream. :sob: I made myself sad again. I'd rather they just took ME:A sequels away from the C team and gave it to them. Then they could make a new game in the series that doesn't go through multiple resets and delays that also gives us two m/m squad options, like DA:I, instead of going back to when we possible had no options at all.

But Jill needs to remain un-burned, un-frozen, un-fallen off a cliff, un-hit by a bus/the Nomad/the Tempest because she needs to stay with Gil's son/daughter/nephew/niece so he can continue to be an engineer and live a fulfilling and meaningful life as a gay man outside of his ability to produce a child. I mean, it's not really like he couldn't live a fulfilling life as a gay man with her dead. Being a single dad wouldn't keep him from hooking up with someone. If anything, it'd be easier than with Jill looming all the time. Gil actually seems to like the idea of being a dad in the friend path. Jill seems to be the only problem.

I already got attached to default Scott, derpiness aside, so I'm not really invested in the CC anymore. He's 10000x nicer to look at than Shepard, that's for sure. I love Scott, but Shepard was pretty "meh" for me. He was way too machismo, too much of a "typical stoic space marine" type, both in appearance and personality. I love my casual Scott. He's cute and sassy. He loves adventure and he's going to find a way to enjoy the trial by fire he's been thrown into. It's fun.

Peebee gained like +1000 approval from my Ryder when she used her renegade interrupt at the end of her loyalty mission. Still kinda wish there was some gating for the zero-gravity scene but oh well. This is just one more thing Reyes's D can save us from! I locked in Reyes and Peebee didn't ask for sex in the zero gravity scene. I do like Peebee more than I thought I would, though. I thought she'd be ME Sera and I didn't like Sera at all, but Peebee is cool. She was one that went really well with my casual Ryder.

I'm not really that mad about Peebee's loyalty mission. But I took her everywhere and she annoyed me whenever we fought Architects. All, "don't let it reproduce!" Like, PeeBee. You have been here throughout this entire process: there is nothing I can do about its reproduction and this is a relatively low threat part of these tedious battles. So just chill. Like shut up. This is very annoying and you're making it worse. Other than that, I liked her well enough~ Meanwhile, Jill laughing maniacally in the background as you can't stop it from reproducing.

My thing with the cast.. I don't really like them or dislike them. I like when characters have stronger opinions about the world and are more ingrained with certain factions. Everyone in this seemed so uninvested in anything but just surviving, which isn't interesting enough to me, on it's own. Only Jaal and Drack felt like their stories were facets of the world, for me. I did like both of them and generally found myself happy to help their respective causes, but I wish more of the characters were like this. I feel like DA have always delivered that better than ME, for me, though.
But this is also why I liked Reyes so much, his plot was wrapped up entirely in basically what I'm talking about. Just too bad he couldn't be recruitable and the Exile plot couldn't be expanded a bit more.

Reyes' dick can save the universe? Is that what we are getting at here? If so I'll have to take back my stance of never devoting a whole run to him. Honestly probably would do so anyway, as much as I love Gil-his romance has too many emotional triggers for me. damnit Jill! Yeah, I'm close to finishing my first run and decided to romance Gil. I had alarm sirens and flashing red lights going off in my head at the kid talk, and was horrified that I couldn't immediately shut it down with an "oh god everything here is trying to kill us, why are we even discussing this right now???" Yes, everyone needs to hop on that morally ambiguous space pirate D so we can save the universe from the Jillpocalypse. This is your real duty as a man. She was misleading you all along.

I guess Gil is lost to me, then, but I promise that Reyes and I will have non-reproductive gay sex furiously until this threat to Andromeda has been averted. You must waste your sperm inside of each other's butts... for humanity. "Reyes, it is imperative that we bang immediately." He's an incredibly ambitious man. I know he'll take our mission very seriously.

Also taken from the Gil thread, apparently they usually do sex scenes behind the fade screen. Dorian had one too: IMO, Dorian is still the hottest guy Bioware has made. There's a lot that annoys me about him, but he is fine. ![:whistle:](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/KsWEGtwHLHUtTuiWt0OV.png)

I love Zev, but damn I wish he'd stop talking sometimes. lol Like, bb, you're adorable and I love you, but stop. Don't tell me you like women more, don't tell me about all the people you fucked and killed, don't tell me your romantic gift to me is something you stole off the corpse of a dead guy you boned. Just stop. Zevran was ruined for me when the glitch caused him to forget about the Warden and he boned Isabella much to my displeasure. It's funny how the lack of gay content forces me to go back and really look at the many times the gay players have been shortchanged by BioWare. It's a shame really.
Still-didn't mean to go off topic, but Zev talk drew me in-and my salt is high right now.
I think it's fine. All these threads go off topic once in a while. lol I never got him having sex with Isabela in DA2. Does she have to be in the party, I guess? I have Morrigan as my canon DA:O LI in some saves and I know he'll ask about "getting to know me better", but Anders shuts that shit down. Which I'm happy to let go. I'm not pushing my luck with Vengeance on the crazy ex front, is all I'm saying.

I guess they probably didn't use it because you can see their Ken doll crotches from certain angles. Sex scenes are way down the list of what annoyed me about their decision making, so it wouldn't really change my salt level, though, I guess. I've yet to meet the infamous Jill. This thread has got me hyped for my run in with the Wicked Witch of the East. Unless, she is a Gil romance cut away in which case, I'll have to youtube it. Nah, you'll meet her. I did friendship path with him, no flirts, and I still got the line from him about how she was going to harass me about "my duty as a man to breed" and met her. She didn't really actually say anything about breeding to me, though, at least. At least not that I remember.

After viewing that video it raises an interesting question. Whose ass is better, Dorian's or Gil's? It depends on if Gil stays with us or in the final dlc Gil leaves us to be with Jill and the baby. Cause then both ass's are dead to me. Sorry my salt level is a bit too high. Hahaha. That is a good answer. I'm still mega salty with Dorian, too. I just can't deny the DA team did a great job on dat ass.

Zevran was a depressing creep, IMO. If Reyes ever lets someone have sex with him thinking they'll spare their life, well, I'd probably be a bit more forgiving since I don't hate his hair. I'm a monster. I love Zev, but damn I wish he'd stop talking sometimes. lol Like, bb, you're adorable and I love you, but stop. Don't tell me you like women more, don't tell me about all the people you fucked and killed, don't tell me your romantic gift to me is something you stole off the corpse of a dead guy you boned.

Ah yes, Atton, I used to love that guy as well, shame I couldn't romance him as The Exile. It's kind of off topic here but what I really liked about Atton was, whatever insults Kreia threw at him, he didn't really give a fuck about it. That kind of guy is really attractive for me haha. Anyway, back to Reyes, I love how my Scott interacted with him. When Scott asked whether finding the cargo is actually about one upping his ex-gf, he said,"Ryder, are you jealous?" and Scott replied,"Just answer the question." with annoyed tone, it's a cute banter. (And Umi's cringe comments were hilarious lol) Also, in the storage room, when he accused Reyes using him as distraction to go through Sloane's stuff... And this... this "Charlatan" who's supposed to be that ruthless underworld leader, didn't know how to explain himself properly to his date. I think he really cares about Scott, but... people change. I wonder if he'll be still this way in the future... My brother told me that if I romance him, I'll be disappointed and upset when he ll turn out to be just using me as the Pathfinder, that he'll backstab my Scott to seek better opportunity... I don't know. Time will tell, I guess. Reyes just doesn't seem like the type to do that. There's a lot more to him as a person than just being a criminal overlord. (See this tumblr link for what happens if you break up with him, since none of us will ever see it lol rosewaterhag.tumblr.com/post/159160772345/i-told-him-to-tell-you-earlier-but-he-worried ) Plus, can you imagine the salt if one of the two m/m options turns out to backstab you no matter what? It'd make the salt over straight Jaal look like nothing! OMG, I shouldn't have clicked that, I'm going to cry.

It's hard to say where they go with Reyes. I think reception absolutely could nudge their response. There's been a lot of bad press for the team having unbalanced LIs, especially shorting m/m characters. I think that does somewhat influence whether they'd have one of 2 options for gay Scott turn into a super villain. The DA team also said they made Solas straight to avoid a "depraved bisexual" stereotype, though it's unclear whether the ME team would be as aware of something like that. I think, if Reyes is a popular characters and with backlash they've gotten in the past and currently for shorting both gay male options and straight female options, they might pause to really piss people off by shoehorning Reyes into the role of JUST a villain.
They've also had way more evil characters become very dedicated to player characters. Zevran is one, honestly. Zev is way more dark on the moral grey scale than Reyes, from what we saw. Bioware usually doesn't do hard good or bad with major characters, anyway. Reyes might do some things not everyone will like, but I don't think they'll put him wholly in the villain role. If anything, I think it would just be something it's up to you if you could forgive, like with the Anders romance. I know I have a large capacity to forgive morally grey characters and I heavily gravitate towards them. I love Anders and have ran away with him in every DA2 play through. I still have hope for Solas, of all people. I think Reyes won't disappoint me. lol

DON'T click the investigative (question mark) option before rejecting Gil, I did that on accident and felt like a massive jerk afterwards. lol Right?!! I felt terrible after pressing that, didn't mean that to happen. I just always press the question marks. But yeah I didn't plan on Reyes at all and boom. It's always fun to see as people progress start arriving more and more hahaha. I was lucky that I saw a video of the Reyes meeting with that wink before playing, so I knew what I wanted going in.

Post by caladrius on Apr 4, 2017 2:46:45 GMT
I think Zev and Reyes have really different motivations. Zev doesn't really seem that ambitious. He took out a bunch of the crows leadership because they were fucking with him, but he doesn't really seem to want to lead anything. By Inquisition (if romanced) the word is that he's finished up getting untangled from the crows and he's just traveling with the Warden and looking for the cure with them. Reyes came to Andromeda "to be somebody". He takes the initiative to build a whole merc empire because he thinks he can do better than the current leadership, which it actually appears he may very well be doing. Zev wants freedom from the crows and that's basically it, besides to just be with the Warden, if romanced. Reyes has big ambitions and a plan to get there.
The other thing is that a lot of people have picked up that Reyes isn't exactly as smooth all the time as I think we're at least supposed to believe Zev is. Sometimes Zev was cheesy or sugary, but I don't think the writing is intentionally so. lol Reyes is sometimes corny and the writing knows it's corny. From the way he was playing it very cool when we met, I feel like Reyes is actually smooth with most people, but not when he's really attached. Keema tells you he talks about you all the time, even the Collective Asari that apparently NEVER MET HIM can tell he has a thing for you. I think you probably are the exception, more than that he's generally awkward, in full context. It's cute, though. I like that you bring out a side of him that most people probably don't get to see.

Whats the context for the Gil images? Is it leaked new content? Fanmade content/flycam footage? I'm genuinely unsure. Flycam images I'm guessing. Yeah, the source says it is.
