BioWare has released the notes for an upcoming patch toMass Effect Andromeda. In addition to the standard litany of bug fixes, the patch addresses 2 big bugaboos via fan feedback: character creation and romance options.

Two new heads were added, one male and one female, as well as a new complexion option and a greater range of available skin tones. All hairstyles for both sexes have been unlocked, and they have added a new bald option. Players will now also be able to change their looks mid-game while on theTempest. You can also now choose to keep the default Alec, rather than having his appearance be based on your customRyder.

Scott Ryder can now pursueJaalas a romance option. Scott Ryder did not have a same-sex squadmate available as aromanceoption, nor could the achievement for completing three romances be achieved with only male same-sex partners. As the angara have expressed their fluidity in how they perceive gender, according to BioWare it was a natural fit to pair Scott with Jaal if desired.
