No childs?
So you know in every ME you can "romance". But i would like to see some ways to get children with other species and then have them as companions to play with. Would be a fun way to make romancing mor...

Mankind has a long history of being a race of stumbling fools. I am too rational to fall for your wall of text regurgitations of "it's been done so it's ok" argumentation.
Your empirical approach only shows that humans can be persistent, not that it's a good idea. We are a screwed up race as it is. Look at the world and then try to convince anyone we are an advanced, enlightened species in this universe. Even just saying it makes me laugh.
A poet once said: If fifty million people say a foolish thing, it is still a foolish thing.
I firmly believe in that.
Now I don't think we are going to even remotely see eye to eye on this, so I think there is wisdom in agreeing to disagree as the saying goes.
Fair enough. It's kind of a case of Not Smart/Recommended vs Don't Care/Beats The Alternative. I did enjoy the debate though.
This would actually be interesting for the next game. Ryder can decide to start having kids or not, and wind up supporting unrestricted childbirth or Nexus control of reproduction, with significant impacts on the game, kind of like backing Mages or Templars over the course of DA2, with the possibility of one or more colonies revolting/attempting to secede along the way over this and other issues (see Browncoats thread). So you could back the Initiative being "smart", cautious, etc. about reproduction, and I could support the colonists going for it all out, and we could each take the consequences of our choices.
Anyway, if we're going to be quoting poetry, I think I'll go with Kipling
Oh, East is East and West is West, and never the twain shall meet,
Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God's great Judgment Seat;
But there is neither East nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth,
When two strong men stand face to face, though they come from the ends of the earth!
-from the Ballad of East and West
But to-day I leave the galley. Shall I curse her service then?
God be thanked! Whate'er comes after, I have lived and toiled with Men!
-from the Galley Slave
So i see this posts with people arguing: is is safe to have kids in Andromeda and where is it safe.
In the first MEA no it isn't, not only it isn't but there is no place to raise them this is why we have birth control to begin with.
But after we have made new colonies which are getting bigger an safer, made the planets good for life growing and finally got control of Meridian, the planets are actually pretty safe to start repopulation just like the game tells us in the end.
So I think childs will not only be normal to have but a natural continuation to the story, as to someone saying well there are still Kett around well.. the Kett will always be around so you suggestion is for Milky Way species to keep fighting to die until the extinction? There will never be a 100% safe place for children's but this doesn't mean not to procreate and repopulate, after all Arks came to Andromeda with around 20000 lifes on each other so we can't hope in a miracle that someday Kett will suddenly disappear.
We made the Helius cluster safe to be able to live and repopulate and I think a child won't be a distraction to Ryder and his loved one, on contrary it will give them a bigger reason to keep fighting and make a better home the kids, otherwise no one should have babies because they would get distracted from their mission, after all even in real life a baby gives you a reason to keep workin and fighting to guarantee him/her a better future.
P.s. Not really a fan of childrens being rise on the Tempest after all it is a work place (maybe a visit some time 🙂)Well, debating things is fun but once I see that people are basically repeating their same arguments without any movement I lose interest, even if I'm one of the parties involved myself. 🙂 I just realised I was repeating myself as were you, so that's why I decided it was enough for me at least.
Nice poetry though.

As for Ryder, the other LIs, and presumably Ryder twin, they live on the Tempest, so where else are the kids going to be raised?
The Tempest is one of those places that is both a work place and a place to live (like shops that have apartments on the upper stories), especially for Ryder, who has this fancy giant room.

Thanks! Maybe we should start a poetry thread. Did you ever remember who wrote your poetry?

Yes, it was Anatole France.

Well it depends how you see it, sure now in MEA sure no one has a "house" but this is because thei didn't really had a lot of choise to be honest 🙂, But in the next Andromeda things will change i mean every colony is growing, they have great plans for Meridian and Ryder even has a entire planet named by him/her 🙂
In the current game it is impossible even to think of childs so ask for them is pointless, but in the next Andromeda would be awesome, don't really care where if on Tempest or some other place.
P.s. F..k Keri, that girl is like "i told the bartender to look out for you know who (your LI) and let us know if he/she is coming" then you are forced to cheat on your loved one, and after feeling like sh..t i was like "Nope thanks" reloaded the game and i still have that quest unfinished. So yeah... F..k Keri 🙂 (until they fix it)
