The "N" specifically denotes completion of a certain special forces program within the Alliance military. It's not just meant to distinguish between military and civilians.
Wiki: >The highest grade of training, N6, provides actual combat experience in combat zones throughout the galaxy. If the trainee survives these scenarios in "admirable and effective fashion," he or she finally receives the coveted N7 designation. N7 is the only ICT designation that may be worn on field or dress uniforms.
>There is little shame in failing an N course - the training is so extreme that even qualifying for N1 elevates an officer to a position of respect.
No idea what C8 is but I don't think the Ryder twins achieved N7 or even applied for N1 at all.

Brayden Myers
Best waifu.
Luis Green
Is Vetra's sister the cookie turian?
James Wilson
No, they are just far cousins, she decided to join the 'Love Train in Space' that is MEGSEV instead of the whatever ark
Brandon Hall
>preload for ME:A already starting
Then why the fuck is the release date so far away.
Easton Bailey
It's just two weeks and some change.
Game will leak way before that and when it does I'm going to look at the romance options.
I played different Shepherds based on romances, choices and classes, I'll do the same here.
Wyatt Gonzalez
>yfw the multiplayer test was canceled because they're just releasing the game early instead
Brayden Howard
Xbone always preloads weeks in advance.
Landon Jones
It sounds like neither of them were particularly good soldiers. Scott's story says he was in guard duty and had to watch other soldiers go off to find glory on missions while Sara seems like she was mostly geeking out and annoying the science team.
Ayden Rodriguez
They're just throwing letters and numbers together at this point.
Could also be the amount of cocks sucked.
Connor Davis
>geeking out
Leave my general now.
Grayson Carter
I think they still recieved normal alliance training, and we also know that both siblings recieved informal training from Alec, probably for years, I'd say it puts them above average alliance soldiers at least.
Chase Hughes
No.
This. It's just a design that looks pleasing enough to the eye and is close enough to N7 for marketing purposes. It has as much meaning as the second barrel on weapons.
Benjamin Martinez
I WANT TO FUCK VETRA'S SPIKY TURIAN VAGINA!
Angel Stewart
Same. Do you really think it's spiky?
Julian Gray
Nope, that just says nepotism and special snowflake status.
Ryders are under 25. Shepard was N7 at age 29 and apparently that's unusual to achieve that rank that young.
They're NCOs at best. Pathfinder nomination is due to nepotism, no doubt.
Jack White
Why is Sara's default expression a wide eyed smile? Does she have autism?
Aaron Gray
people who like the games after 3 have autism
Chase Martin
She sure is
Colton Sanchez
3 was unironically far better than 2.
Jayden Price
It's probably rough but not spiky
Justin Rivera
Why is Grunt a Kroganlet? I thought he is supposed to be perfect but he's the same height as shepherd.
Aaron Wilson
Every character is about the same height in-game due to engine limitations.
Benjamin Jackson
Anyone want to make a Mass Effect 3 multiplayer clan with me?
Justin Howard
There's probably some kind of cartilage up I'm there
He's a week old when you meet him and his loyalty mission has to do with him going through Krogan puberty
Hudson Ross
>PLAY MASS EFFECT 2 >FEMSHEP IS SUPER CUTE AND THE LOVE OF MY LIFE >START UP MASS EFFECT 3 >SHE'S FUCKING UGLY
>playing as femshep See there's where you fucked up
Christian Robinson
Fuck you bitch motherfucker Femshep is way better in 1 and 2.
Hudson Cruz
ok
Colton Cooper
Holy fug, I don't remember Mass Effect 3's gameplay feeling this different. It's probably just going to take a bit of time to get used to it, but it feels weird as fack.
Isaiah Sanchez
Vetra a cute
Aiden Torres
Gross, remove IMMEDIATELLY!
Wew. I just can't handle how fast /meg/'s moving now.
Austin Collins
to me it looks more like she's making some kind of duckface, but by pressing her lips together and forward really hard.
Landon Baker
Probably weird scanned face shit, I imagine Ryders made in the CC won't look half as retarded.
Dylan Walker
Just saw the new gameplay vid, desu sis ryder's bum is shaping up to be the phattest in the ass effect series.
Lincoln Fisher
>I imagine Ryders made in the CC won't look half as retarded
lol
Carson Smith
In terms of resting face in general, the animations will still be weird, I'm sure.
Adrian Wilson
>still giving money to biojew
Zachary Martinez
It isn't really that fat, but the funny belts and the suits they use produce a gap between her legs and ass and push the buttocks upwards. I bet when they aren't in combat gear it'll look normal. In any case, it's kind of surprising that bioware is actually going for that, I expect tumblr outrage pretty soon, like with Tracer from Overwatch. And of course, they won't be able to legally publish it in Ireland...
Angel Diaz
>And of course, they won't be able to legally publish it in Ireland... what do you mean? is it to lewd for catholics?
Carter Gonzalez
Nah, Tumblr doesn't care about objectification if it's subtle, I actually imagine they'll be rejoicing because Femryder has the flat chest plate as the default armor rather than the boob shaped ones
Ryder Diaz
The Irish can't handle asses
Jaxon Clark
Hell I like that because I'm autistic about boob-plate, its illogical.
Nicholas Brown
too much ass is gross though.
Hudson Hernandez
From a pure aesthetic point it looks stupid too
James Collins
So I just beat ME2 as an Adept and I absolutely loved it, but I'm finding it kind of awkward to play in ME3. Everything is so much faster in ME3 and I'm finding that while I cast literally like 4x as many attacks, none of them feel as impactful.
Singularity feels odd, and my favorite combo was Pull, and then Throw to send them off a ledge or way into the sky but that doesn't work too well in 3, it just seems to make an explosion.
I'm planning on playing it a bit more to see how I feel but I'm actually considering restarting (I'm only an hour in) but I'm not sure what class I want to play, any suggestions?
I played Vanguard the first time I beat this game, and I'm playing on Insanity if it makes a difference. I was thinking maybe Soldier but I'm not sure how satisfying the shooting will be compared to 2.
Sebastian Turner
Exactly. An actual thought out armor design not only looks better but is more logical. There are other, better ways to make an armor design feminine (hips usually)
Lincoln Adams
Those explosions are your bread and butter, Adept becomes OP as fuck when you figure out everything that combos and what combos will do a ton of damage.
Carson Morris
Sentinel. Liara's singularity + explosive punch destroys most ennemies while being hilarious. Explosive shield is baller too
Jace Davis
Being Soldier is definitely not as satisfying as in 2. In 2 I'd go out of my way to use sniper rifles/shotguns, but they just don't have the same kick in 3.
That being said, shooting shit in slow mo is still very entertaining.
Angel Gray
engineer. All those dank power combos.
Sebastian Martinez
Yeah, they already feel pretty overpowered but they just aren't as fun to use as they were in ME2. In ME2 I'd pull someone 20 feet into the air and then throw them straight down into the ground 1 shotting them, or launching them 100 feet into the air. It was amazing.
This just feels like I'm a mage throwing out fireballs and shit making explosions, nothing interesting.
I just found an Assault Rifle and so far it feels really awkward. There's zero recoil and it looks like a toy. I spent quite a bit of ME2 using a Sniper after getting the Weapons Training and it was fantastic.
Thomas Sanchez
...are you Irish?
Blake Stewart
Its the fucking fishgun, it'll always feel like ass.
Benjamin Mitchell
I'm just worried that Engineer will have the same problems that Adept is where nothing feels satisfying. The big explosions from comboing my biotics just feel weird and not very fun to use. I don't need to actually aim it at all, it's just Pull, Throw, Pull, Throw, Pull, Throw and they detonate for a ridiculous amount every time.
Blake Ramirez
No, but asses like kim kardashians are disgusting
Adam Lee
Gimme PeeBees saggy boobs NOW !
Ethan Hernandez
I ended up sticking with the Matlock simply because it did the job without any of the avengers shitty aiming.
Isaiah Hernandez
stick with adept, it's worth it. the explosions and damage get crazy and believe me it IS satisfying.
Gabriel Brown
Engineer has more Utility via Cryo and Combat Drone so it offers more playability in that aspect. Overload and Incinerate are going to be your primary uses though. Most combos will come off of Incinerate. I personally find the tech combos more satisfying visually and also because their original intention isn't to make someone fly like Throw so it makes more sense.
Jaxson Perez
I think I might stick with Adept but there's a small part of me that really wants to try Infiltrator.
Asher Walker
Engineer is going to have liberal use of both Overload and Incinerate but they have more interesting options imo through Sabotage, Combat Drone, Sentry Turret, Cryo Blast, etc.
Joseph Price
*unsheathes Kai Leng's katana*

LEAVE
Isaiah Baker
you didn't check if it was a hologram
Carter Jones
"There's tons of alien sex." What does it mean?
Thomas Miller
I don't give a fuck if it's a hologram, my blade is enchanted so that if I strike someones hologram it kills them instantly.
Jaxson Campbell
That there's tons of alien sex
Hunter Jones
aliens have lots of sex while Ryder sits in the corner masturbating
Isaac Thompson
game features the weight gain fetish, to satisfy the landwhales and deviantart fetishists
Ayden Gutierrez
Fem Ryder is ugly.
John Taylor

disgusting
Aiden Mitchell

Landon Stewart
>a faggot on /v/ with a dad at Bioware told that Vetra was only for straight males Hope Bioware won't do that mistake
Chase Cruz
The hornet isn't that bad
Jonathan Harris
How come the character with a rogue-ish personality is always bi?
>Isabella >Guy from Jade Empire >Zevran >Iron Bull >Felicia Days character
Mason Torres
So what's going to be shown today?
Jaal Bio, Jaal Character Kit or Video On Exploration or Initiative Video?
Jace Hughes
can you imagine the shitstorm on tumblr
Eli Flores
bioware can only rehash the same few characters
Carter Young
>tfw a straight male
I like the sound of that.
Easton Lopez
Shit like Blackwall, Garrus and Fenris are fresh air. Usually the straight relationships for females are a goofy virgin, no personality, dead wife or the cliche rogue. Inquisition went back to goofy virgin and cliche rogueish 'I talk about sex a lot'.
Wyatt Green
TUMBLR BTFO
VETRA A PURE
Oliver Lopez
rogues are usually the more morally grey + carefree type, so it kind of goes without saying that they'd usually be bi.
Nicholas Rodriguez
Dude, people are already freaking out and in denial. I saw a post a couple days ago crying about how the if Vetra isn't lesbian it is homophobic.
When it turns out she likes the cock in any way, shape or form people are going to go thermonuclear.
Jayden Stewart
Yes.
If Scott can't have Kaal or Jallo and If Sarah can't have Vetra people are going to be pissed enough to badger the writers on their twitters.
And really it's their own fault for dancing around the question so long and teasing much diversity many options wow and not being upfront and honest.
Gays want the aliens, Bioware. I've seen very little asking for Cora and Liam and BW is teasing Gil for gays when that's not really keeping people happy since he sounds very close to Steve.
Dylan Martinez
Typical Tumblr.
It's not homophobic but it does fucking blow she can't be for both Ryders.
Ethan Peterson
Don't worry user, the most reliable romance leak we have says she's bi.
Tumblr will still whine about it or pretend she's a lesbian in a stunningly regressive display, but the rest of us can be happy.
Adam Morgan
>"To continue (didn't know how much room I had left) All of the characters and unknown characters can be changed in their opinion so they can eventually fall for you; it's hinted at by multiple Developers that if someone is stated that they're only interested in this sex, they MIGHT be able to bend their own personal beliefs ONLY for you as your character and no one else. There HASNT BEEN ANY clarification on who these characters are or if it's ALL of the companions or characters you can romance torwards
You can ALSO lock yourself out of a romance no matter your sex due to your choices or opinions and interactions with the companions. They want this to be a way to reply the game so you can make different choices; there's no indication as to when you'll be locked out
This user could have been full of shit but all things considered I think I prefer this option and it would make waifufags/husbandofags satisfied.
Especially if it said characters are Jaal and Vetra.
Logan Howard
>tfw after the OT asari don't even feel all that alien
Sounds like the same shit as DA2, but with a layer of complexity on top.
Aaron Diaz
I assume male turians have dicks so if she likes that then it goes without saying she'll have preference for a human male.
When people were like 'how can an alien have a preference about the gender of a human". If Garrus prefers to stick it in a female Turian it's not out of the ordinary that he'd choose a female of another race too.
Mason Ward
I'd say interspecies is more like an extreme form of interracial, especially when almost all races have the same male and female standard as us. I could totally see some people still caring about gender and some not, sexuality can be really weird.
But of course that doesn't fit easily into Tumblr's fetish for gays so out the window it goes.
Ryan Garcia
I have little stake in the fight, but I feel for Vetrafags and Jaalfags that want him to be a bi option.
I'm just one of the Kallofags who really want him to be an asexual romance that's available to both Ryders.
Cooper Mitchell
Want THEN to be bi options, Whoops.
If Vetra IS an option for both then great.
Nathan James
We're all gonna make it brah
Liam Gomez
I wouldn't mind that.
Mason Thompson
>ywn open a space brothel in the Andromeda galaxy. >ywn sell fresh milky way puss and dicks to hungry native. >ywn never take control of the angara governement by making them addicted to salarian cloaca. Why can't is there still no space brothel game.
William Taylor
There is a rumor that Vetra's writer had to fight to make her bi, cause people in BW wanted her to be straight. Isnt it a little strange? Char's sexuality schoud be a writer decision
Jack Russell
I suppose they have quotas or some shit, but if that's true and she's bi I'm relieved
