Andreja's weird.

[The Nameless]

She's constantly telling Sam that she doesn't get why he wants to avoid fights, but damn, she's negative whenever I decide not to avoid a fight!

[Lyric]

In my experience, she always "likes" when I take the options to avoid violence. I'm not sure in what context she would ever dislike it unless the objective was to save the life of an innocent or something.

[The Nameless]

(sigh) really? Just put her and Sam on your ship and listen to them chat. Her expressed views are completely inconsistent with her likes and dislikes when you're out adventuring.

[LeftPaw]

She is hard to understand. Sometimes I can't make out if she likes something or hates it.

[The Nameless]

Honestly, it seems like they decided to reward the player for avoiding violence and punish the player for not avoiding it, regardless of whether or not that made sense with a given companion's personality.

I just managed to hook up with her, we are on a similar wavelength I guess.

I couldn’t figure her out.

I don’t take companions, I fly solo in these games, but she’s the only member of Constellation that I feel like you don’t really ever get to know indirectly through scene dialogue, quests, etc.

Everyone else you can get a good feel for and understand their personality and their basic background even when going it alone, but not Andreja.

Also, what is that accent? I honestly can’t peg it. Is it some form of Slavic/Central Asian? But then her name’s Andreja which kinda sounds like the Latin American “Andrea” but then they throw a “j” in there. And you look at her and she could be believably Hispanic (w/closer European genetics), but also could pass as Southeastern European or lighter skinned Turkish or Central Asian.

I think it's a fictional accent they made up for House Varoom. Vroon? The snake worshippers.

I think she makes a lot of sense really. A lot like my character, she wants to be a conquerer and a warrior, a hero. But only in circumstances where she has the moral high ground. So talking well and deescalating before it comes to a fight is often as important to her as the fight itself. She sees that as a kind of strength too and as a better way to assure moral purity if a fight does break out.

It would be a mistake to characterize her as a mindless barbarion who just wants to sate her blood lust, to fight and kill. She does want to prove her superiority in combat against villains. But if the villains can be stopped without violence, that speaks to her higher ideals.

Her vibe is a kind of martial artist philosophy. Her body might live for the fight but her mind and heart strive for peaceful resolutions. To be able to fight and destroy, but to have the restraint not to whenever possible. That is the way to her heart.

And, once again, her background chatter with Sam Coe doesn't fit with that at all. They need to change her conversations with him to fit that. Actually I'd like it more if they changed her likes and dislikes to fit her chatter with Sam, but there's no way they'd ever do that much work. Or... I dunno, maybe it would actually be less work? I'd expect them to take the easiest option, whichever that is.

Oh. The easiest option is to say "screw it" and do some little phantom "fix" nobody will notice instead. Of course.

[Redhalo]

Just know that her and Sam have a thing going.. I have caught Sam in her room more than once, and that's after I married her!

[placeforpets]

She is the worst companion
