As someone who unironically enjoys boning make-believe chicks in video elf games (AKA a Bioware fan) I must admit this video is a bit of a let down. Seems like the choices are Space Sera and Robyn. Bleh.

Maybe I can at least gently caress the Krogan.

They said there are more fuckable people than in any of their previous games, and that there are a bunch of non-party members you can have your way with.

So, according to the latest briefing, Cora is second in command to Pathfinder Dadryder.
We already know that he bites the dust, thus making one of the twin Ryders Pathfinder.
But, shouldn't the XO become the new person in charge if the top dog dies? Nepotism!

ASARI EYEBROWS

Going by the briefing video Scott and Sara will have different backgrounds as a replacement for the psychological profiles (war hero, ruthless, survivor). Scott has more military and combat experience, while Sara is a turbo-nerd.

Her character assessment in the background of the video says she is supposed to succeed the pathfinder. So, it's going to be something like she caves under pressure or is responsible for Alec disappearing (and no one will follow her).

She might be the Cerberus double agent who murders dad-Ryder and the Saren figure of the game.

Let me tell you about Mhairi in Dragon Age: Awakening. It was like if Jenkins from Mass Effect 1 had had a full marketing push as a party member. A pretty small Kojima-esque swerve, it was awesome.

to be fair when you look back on her trailers they're literally only from the first mission of the game

It's very good that the Ryders are customisable, I don't think much of the default look for either of them.

Sequel hook: There is event that is going to come up that at the end of his game that cause a bunch of humans to die instead of the other aliens (had to shut down that section of cryo-freeze, etc) and she is gonna pull a Illusive Man "Humanity First" bit in the new galaxy.

real talk: the last DLC for this game is going to be another Ark arriving, only this one is a last-ditch effort from the Milky Way races to survive the Reaper War. It's gonna have every species that didn't make it on the first Arks, will be infiltrated by Cerberus, and will arrive exactly one week ahead of one, possibly more Reapers

Well they could. But if she does turn traitor it has to happen after Ryder becomes pathfinder, so that can't be the reason for her being passed over for promotion.

It's gonna have a Shepard clone that Cerberus produces after the starting of ME2.

Pretty short but you get a decent look at all of the announced party members.

I already hate every party member they've shown. Except maybe the Krogan. I hope we can leave them out in space somewhere.

Surface to Air Missiles are usually somewhat large. But if you have a hole wide enough, go ahead and gently caress one.
