I actually like Jaal's space poncho and I'm going to be disappointed if Quarians do appear in Andromeda and they don't have similar ponchos or hoods like that.

I think the reaction would be one of general puzzlement if Bioware characters started looking like normal people wearing functional work apparel.

Only thing I can think of is that entrance video where she tackles Dick Ryder and lands on top of him and it's quirky! Spork!

But yeah, other than that, I got nothing.

Goons latched onto her right away with a burning, fiery hatred. And I given we've only seen stuff that is about as harmless as popcorn action movie stuff it doesn't make any sense. There just isn't enough out there to make a judgement about whether the character is bad or not. I'm chalking it up to goons hating everything, especially women who aren't on a pillow case.

It's worth noting that a lot of goons instantly turned on Cora too while just labeling the male character boring.

Mainly her outfit and this blurb from her character bio

quote:

Peebee walks to her own daredevil drumbeat and has an unrivalled thirst for adventure. She’s pathologically independent but manages to maintain a loose, even friendly spirit. Bored with the Milky Way, she would have done anything to join the Initiative – flirt, favors, fudged credentials. But to her, she was just hitching a ride to the great unknown.

I kind of miss the ugly ships of the 70s-80s. The millennium falcon looked like it was actually slapped together by scrap from several different derelict ships that somehow worked, however, I doubt you could do that with poo poo made by some SUPER SECRET OPERATION to colonize space. Like maybe in the sequel they could pull that, but here? Nah, you need to make another ship that could look good as in game model in your office.

The Homeworld series still has the best spaceship designs in video games and those designs were inspired by Peter Elson and sci-fi covers from the 70s. Clunky and utilitarian, spiky and sharp, cobbled from garbage, or smooth and refined from millenia of hiding and prepping. Sleek is boring.

So she has that going for her.
