I just wanna say, liking your display pic - most badass character in the history of anything - ever!
I have to wholeheartedly agree with that statement.
I know it took guts to come out and say it

What kind of companions would you all like to see in Mass Effect: Andromeda?
Gimme a Krogan Scientist (!) - like that guy that made Grunt (maybe not as anti-social and driven, more like a Krogan Liara!)
and I'd like a true Asari Commando (an Asari that thinks more like Liara's "father" than a traditional Asari)...I'd generally love characters that aren't exactly like the stereotype that's been assigned to their race (so a Turian that's not thinking like a soldier with rigid tactics, a Salarian who doesn't like spies etc.) 
greetings LAX
for the sake of curiosity, why?Can I romance a male version of myself? Someone EXACTLY like me but in a man form?

OMG she looks like my Alaskan Malamute exactly on the spot! I assumed "she" because mine is a she lol. But damn they could be twins xD

That's brilliant, she's in the category of dogs who look like wolves , they're my favorite.

Because I'm perfect! Or perhaps because it was a joke..... 
Ok I was confused a little. My bad.Because I'm perfect! Or perhaps because it was a joke.....
A female Quarian who is an infiltrator and happens to have an M-7 Lancer (because they're collectors items).
That new pose puts more emphasis on Tracer's ass than the "offensive" one, but the professionally outraged tumblrinas that complained about the first one are fine with it. And they were fine with Widowmaker and Hanzo having the same "look at my butt" pose that was unacceptable for Tracer.

To be fair, the original argument was not that all "look at my butt" poses are bad, but that Tracer's in particular didn't make a lot of sense for her character. Knowing very little of her character, I can't comment on that either way, but I imagine that this whole situation may be akin to EDI's out of place cameltoe.
The new one, though more sexual, is apparently a reference to the pinups that many WW2 pilots put on the sides of their aircraft. According to feedback that I've read, this makes a bit more sense for Tracer seeing as she's a pilot herself.

Tracer is a playful, feminine character. Standing with her butt facing the "camera" is no less out of character than an actress striking the same pose on a red carpet.

I can believe that. I never found the original pose particularly egregious anyway.
However, I do think the new pose is a bit more fun.

Sure, it's a better pose. But there was nothing offensive or out of character about the old one. It was just another case of internet losers looking for things to be offended by.
It's a good thing they did whine though. We wouldn't have the new one without them.
I'm all for alien squad mates and romance-able alien squad mates at that - but I'd rather personality and character be fleshed out first instead of having races inserted on to our team to 'fill a gap'.
even though I want a badass female turian really, really badly
I want a cunning, slippery sleazebag character for our team. Don't much care about the race, as long as he's a little underhanded with morals more in a grey area.

I always base my Warden off Guts - a dark haired/ 2 Handed Greatsword/Berserker/Reaver ------ although I usually add a beard and a ponytail
New series coming out this year so hyped.
Having Gooby or Dolan in the team would be nice. They're both forms of alien life after all.

In fairness, I remember a great deal more whining/outrage/offence about the pose's removal than there ever was about the pose in the first place--and the new one does seem a mite less generic, at the very least. Besides, this is actually my favourite Tracer pose:
As someone with a perpetually messy fringe, it really speaks to me.
I suppose my biggest problem with this whole dumb controversy is that, now, whenever people think/talk about Tracer, it's all about the stupid butt debate that never needed to happen in the first place. I feel like it's kind of overtaken all the other aspects of her character--she's gone from, 'hyperactive cockney tele-spammer(with a nice butt)' to 'butt pose girl', at least so far as more or less every forum and comment thread on the Internet's concerned.
How about being able to kiss your LI whenever you want when on the ship, you could do this in the camp in Dragon Age Origins.
Or when you have established a romance rather than call you by your title or last name, they call you my love, or something similar.

1 - It was sex, not kissing
2 - There isn't any recreational component in reiterating a series of 3D animations that show your achieved love story
3 - Customising the dialogue-lines vocally costs money and it's very unnecessary
I think they should (based on what I've read with the fan desires and interests and overall style present) have like a kind of focus on making more of the "cute, advisory" characters, male as well as female LIs for a kind of alpha focused male/female Shepard, sort of like Josephine or Kelly Chambers not central in the same way as some characters.
It's not that they "literally don't have a role" but simply that they follow in that sort of format.
I think in general having characters that are kind of disinterested from the main of quests and such in ME would not be a bad thing in this case and in fact better fit the kind of overall dynamic I see present in ME games. Moreover, I think it stems from a style of game that goes all the way back to the origins of the company as a sort of back and forth between two kinds of competing personalities a bit.
In many ways, it's basically just asking for more "Samantha Traynor/Kelly Chambers/Josephine" like characters, male and female. I don't really think Cullen fit that dynamic because he was less of an advisory type and more an active commander who just happened not to be commanding.
That dynamic, to be more clear, is I think one where the partner is generally kind of the (well, at least perceived as) "purer" contrast to the kind of reckless get stuff done Shepard or main leader, there isn't as much overlap between their interests and desires. That isn't to say they aren't interested in each other, but rather that they come to each other from kind of "opposing worlds" so to speak.
More often than not, that character has been female, but I think it could be male as well, and I think in general, both kinds of "advisory" characters reflect a desire on the part of the Bioware fanbase and developers. Moreover, there are other media which represent opposing dynamics and thus would be perhaps a better reflection of their desires and interests.
Ahem, anyway, I think one important thing is that certainly isn't the only dynamic present in media, which is why then it's probably ok for Bioware to give this option since it seems to me to be where their interests are and have centered around those things through their history, as well as the kinds of things they are looking for in games.... whereas other games/media present their own perspectives which is more appealing to people who want the different things and that's ok as well.
I think personally as stated I've kind of found the notion of "romance" in a lot of media in general not typically the kind of thing I'm looking for, regardless of it's precise dynamics, but I think if developers/fans are creating/getting a thing that is meaningful to them that is a valuable thing there, and it's not as though I don't find it.. well it's something one it's own for sure. I still watch movies with romantic elements and shades of various kinds.
