Is it just me or is she a bit cliché?

Howso?

Hopefully she will live longer than Mihari... Who I loved but who had an awfully short life...

In hindsight, I can appreciate Mihari as the prank she was.

I kind of expected Mhairi to die early since her VO wasn't in the cast list.

I wasn't really interested in her, but the more people hate her, I find myself liking her more. I dunno, I think if she didn't have that headband or that glare in the concept art she'd look pretty good, imo.

People hate Aveline? Why? We don't know anything about her--how can they hate her?

Because she isn't a skinny supermodel perhaps.

Her appearance is too much for some people. Some people have the wildest issues.

I very nearly replied to that with a really unpleasant stereotype and generalisation about the way the average gamer sees women. The fact that I'm not sure it's untrue in this case is worrying.

Aveline and Isabela have the exact same body model.

Don't companions now have 'unique' body models.
Hence Aveline's slightly larger arms.

Seeing her in such light armor when she's supposed to be a knight of sorts, I'm not sure what to think. I understand there needs to be some suspension of disbelief when I'm playing a video game, but this is a little like Miranda toting a machine gun in high heels.

I still like her design though. I'm intrigued by her already.

She does change into armor but it's a bit spoilerish so they dont show it.

I think the design looks terrible frankly, especially the concept art. Nothing unique about it at all, on any level, and it's just not good design either. The story of her character is pretty cliche and tired as well, nothing interesting there that I can see.

Just not feeling it.


That's absolutely shocking, considering how everything else about DA2 so far has lit you on fire.


Well Mr. Cranky Pants I actually think I've been quite fair... Isabella I liked, as well as the bearded dude, and I said so.  I love the location concept art, I love the change in story and have backed you up many times on those changes.  I'm just not feeling the art style mainly, and I worry about the PC port quality, but otherwise I have tried to be very positive.

She is lesbian, now where is the gay man?

Her husband might disagree.

The cynical part of me wonders if she was given a dead husband just to nip that particular line of thought.

I think my New Vegas thread probably just gave the impression I am being very negative, but that's not really true.  I do worry about some of streamlining and PC version issues, but overall I still expect the game to be amazing.  I was disappointed in some of the Mass Effect 2 changes but as a sci-fi shooter with an epic story it was still an amazing game.

There are definitely some comparisons that could be drawn, though Brienne is very much all about her unrequited love and her lack of self-esteem-- Aveline's very different from that, even if she is an equally no-nonsense sort of female warrior. I think Luke's done a great job with her.

Thats brilliant as I was hoping she was a Brienne-esque character except without all the 'unrequited love, lack of self-esteem' thing.

Oh, and who'd Luke write in Origins?


I wasn't the owner of any of the folowers in the main game, if that's what you're wondering. I joined DA:O relatively late as I was busy with ME1 and some background stuff. The big characters were well underway, so I wrote busloads of little people and polish throughout, as well as Leliana's Song after coming back from ME2. I get around.

I like Aveline's look. I'm glad she's not wearing a bra made out of dental floss, or strips of leather, a la Jack or Morrigan.

Bethany and Isabela? No, I wouldn't think so. I'm just saying they have the same body model.

He's Canadian, so more like the BioWare Hockey Puck. Gets passed around a lot and often comes flying in for the finishing goal.

But he's been on DA2 for the entire project, which is nice. And all the writers got to pick the followers they wanted to work on, which is a bonus (as that doesn't always happen).

Interesting!

May I whomever was her main writer(Luke?), why he wanted to write Aveline? What about the character did he find appealing?

Well, she could still be wearing a bra made out of dental floss under her shirt, you never know. :P

By the way, is this now the official "Aveline discussion" thread? Or does that still need to be created? Also, what ever happened to the Bethany support thread? It just vanished into obscurity one day, it seems.
