It is possible that this was a bug that reverted Sara’s face model to a different, potentially older build, which feeds into the (unproven) theory that BioWare intentionally ‘de-beautified’ Sara Ryder. In short, she looks more like Jayde Rossi, the actress whose likeness Sara Ryder’s character model was based on.įor now, it is currently uncertain how the French streamers came across the ‘Sara Ryder Prime’ character model they ended up with in the video. Her complexion is also less oily and more touched up. Sara’s nose, lips and ears are all much more subtle, and her jaw is also less pronounced. For one, her eye color is completely different. The differences are, quite frankly, staggering. The small video below flashes back and forth between both face models. Instead of the default face we see in the CC menu, we are instead treated to a different, more polished version of Sara Ryder, which can be seen on the right side of the picture at the top of the page. After browsing the character creation menu for a bit, the player backs out of the menu and instead chooses the ‘Sara Ryder: Quick start’ option when starting the game. In the video, the player cycles through different character customization options, where we see Sara Ryder with the default face we are all accustomed to, which is shown on the left side of the picture at the top of this page. It is important to note that as the video was a stream, no editing could be done to alter the character models. According to Reddit user Endorphyn, changes to Ryder’s default face can be seen when comparing shots taken from a French streamer’s gameplay video during the character creation process. Given the definitive statement above, it is strange to see that different versions of Sara Ryder’s default face have been popping up within the game’s early access period.
Despite increasingly virulent criticism from certain parts of the internet, however, BioWare has gone on record to state that there would be no character improvements made for the game’s day one patch. One of the most consistent focal points for the negative feedback has been in regards to character facial animations and the overall facial design, chiefly that of female protagonist Sara Ryder.
Mass Effect: Andromeda is still one day away from launch, and already BioWare has been receiving insane amounts of blowback based upon feedback from those that were able to play the game early via EA Access or were provided review copies.
