A cross-dressing bisexual arsonist libertine! Kill it with fire!

This paragraph made me laugh.

I had assumed that was the case. It would be more than passingly odd if it weren't.

If there's a letdown to be had, I'd rather it come now than later.

a female mix of Malcom Reynolds and Han Solo? an explosive pairing to be sure.

That strikes me as a little bit odd given how idealistic Mal was. At least in the back of his head. Han, on the other hand really tried hard to not care, and just couldn't help himself from caring anyway. Isabela on the other hand just ran away. Or at least she did in DA:O.

So did Hawke.

And he ends up a champion, sure. But what of the motivations? What of what's going on behind the eyes?

now that would be giving away story spoilers, and those are something a developer holds very dear until the game is released-

Well this is in the context of a Mal/Han inspired hybrid. Makes me wonder how that will work out when what was going on behind their eyes seemd so different.

Who someone has had sex with doesn't determine who that person is, or isn't, and if you think it does your an idiot.

At the very least it tells you what preferences that person has when it comes to picking sexual parthers. It that isn't part of "what that person it"... well, that seems pretty odd. And definitely wouldn't go as far as call everyone who doesn't share this view an idiot.

I'm going with Mal/Han influence with Inara's sexually liberated attitude.

Definitely Mal/Han. Not so much the Inara, because I find her extremely dull. I almost want to say there's a bit of Zoe in there, because I love Zoe , but I can't. That would be deliberately misleading. Zoe is very much the military woman who takes orders and carries them out well and Isabela is... not.

Zoe and Sten staring competition. Go.

No wait, this is the Isabela thread.

Actually, I'm wondering if there have been any memorable women characters in the vein of Mal or Han Solo. Which would mean I'd have to find a way to describe those two and then see if that applies to any other characters. Roguish. Brash. Charming. Cynical. They're your bad boys that girls like because they're not really bad.

I know we were only talking influences, but it does make me wonder about Isabela being an analogue to those type of characters. Or if gender brings certain perceptions to that type of character that people really can't visualize a woman counterpart to Han Solo.

I guess Scully doesn't count - too cerebral...hmm. Assorted incarnations of La Femme Nikita...nah, I don't think they quite have the required combination of Han/Mal characteristics. Wait, FIONA from Burn Notice!!! She's brash, bold, clever, charming and is certainly cynical (in my opinion). She also likes weapons and blowing things up, and she thinks quickly on her feet (admittedly I don't think the last season of Burn Notice was the best, but hey it still has Jeffrey Donovan *drools over J.D.* and Bruce Campbell!).

I think there are a lot of female tv characters who kick butt on the same level as Han and Mal, but they usually don't really share a lot of Han/Mal characteristics. I'll stick to my choice of Fiona. Oh wait, why didn't I think of this before!!!! I think Starbuck (katee Sackoff) on BSG sort of fits the mold.

Maybe the influence was really Chewbacca. Oh... no... that just... I probably just opened up a can of worms there but I can't bring myself to delete it.

Now I find myself wondering if I'm putting too much into it, or if it's a reference to something you know that I don't.

...are you guys allowed to tell us if Isabela is romanceable for femHawke?

idk she is with male hawke in both trailers, and has history with men.  I wouldn't mind her being f/f but i have a feeling that f/f experience with isabela was a one time thing.  i think she was just happy to finally see another woman, she was a ship full of men.

but we dont know mch about her yet

I think it's pretty safe to assume that Isabela is romanceable by both genders. Hell, there are already thousands of female wardens out there that can testify to that.

I hope Isabella isnt the only F/F LI in the game.  I have a personal dislike for piercings, way to much jewelery and tatoos. 

The lip piercing makes me vomit a little in my mouth, and she wears enough gold on her neck to make MR.T blush.  I bet it  weighs about 30 lbs.

Since it's not on OP I assume no one's posted this?
(Relatively) New picture of Isabela, Jack and uhh Commander Hawke out:

Judging by the screen shots so far, Isabela must be used to being top-heavy.

uberduber, don't.

 I'm being serious! She has no freaking pants on! I saw the cutscenes. I can already see Fox all over those pictures. "It's nudity! A bum! close your eyes!"

Quit overreacting, she's wearing a bikini bottom if I recall. 

[TrackerTrem]

I know she was in a brothel but the location of the question shouldn't matter. If you met an exotic, beautiful woman at a gentleman's club and asked her ''that'' question after playing cards with her do you think she would say yes?? I know many people who would say," I dont know you well enough." And yes it speaks to Isabela's character, even if she has other qualities.
