I'd be down with that. ONLY a woman protag. No male. And then use those other resources to make other parts of the game better.

But this are you a dude or a chick poo poo is stale to me. Cut that tie with the original series. Or have a hanar protag. Or an asexual robot.

knowing bioware they could never make an asexual robot.

They seem to be meeting you half way by having the non-MC Ryder play a role in the story

Legion and the geth in general are asexual. Also all the robots in KoTOR and TOR. Edi's really the only exception here.

And I really hope Ryder's head buddy is to or poo poo'll be weird.

Anyone else a bit disappointed that they went with the m/f protagonist again? I mean, I'd have preferred just one, don't care which sex, and another party member that is voiced and fleshed out. Having duplicate characters with a different voice and one with boobs doesn't really do much.

What are you on about? You aren't deciding whether Ryder was born male or female at character creation, you are choosing to play as one of the two twins, and the other twin continues to exist, talk, and be a character. They are not intended to be duplicates, and the other is presumably fleshed out, though they are not a full party member but probably more like Traynor or Joker.

Honestly them getting kidnapped/killed by the Kett is pretty much a forgone thing.

No worries, incest involving gods (and by extension demigods) doesn't count. Neither does bestiality. Thanks Greece!

If you can't romance your sibling then Bioware doesn't know what the fans want. Because everyone would do it at least once, just for the laughs.

As far as I recall in BG1/2 the player character and Imoen have different fathers and different mothers, and are only 'siblings' in the sense that your fathers were possessed by Baal at the time of your conception. Incest-by-divine-lineage doesn't count :colbert:

Your sibling will come hang out with you in your room if you don't have a romance by the end of the game. You'll hang around and shoot the poo poo and they'll ask if you're thinking about settling down with anyone when it's all over, and you'll get all wistful.

your sibling will get a real job while you're busy galavanting around, settle down with someone and successfully balance a good career with raising a family
the epilogue will be a tense conversation with your dad demanding you to justify your poor life choices and lack of grand children.
