That's sweet of you, and I'm sorry in advance to Thane's fans(of which I am one) if I was too scathing in my remarks. To be fair, though, my Shepard romanced Liara in the first game, then played through without romancing anybody so I could have adorable turian forehead kisses in the second.

I like Thane and all but he as a LI comes off like you say Final Fantasy crap and not the good ones(4 to 6).

Honestly, IMO Bioware dropped the ball on all the romances in ME2. I can agree though that Bioware made the female romance more Male-Player Friendly. The Liara/Kaidan/Ashley romances in the original game was done much more better, especially since the romance actually tied into the story at times.



Of the female romances, Garrus' came off the best IMO, but that was mainly due to the hilarious dialog and their past history. Jacob's could've been good but he just wouldn't open up which I found to be especially bad for a romance. Thane's was overly melodramatic.

[Miss Yuna of Atlanta]

Garrus and Tali had the best romances in the second game to me because of the past history between them and Shepard.

[scotchtape622]

If you don't like the romance, just stay loyal to Kaiden/Liara.

I think people make too big deal out of Jacob and this Prize thing.



I think the bigger problem is that Shepard comes off very poorly, female wise.

Jacob romance is the worst of the bunch. Avoid it like the plague.
Watch the youtube video for the lolz if you want, but that's all I'd recommend.

No it isn't. Jacob's romance is well-written and well-paced. The actual paramour scene is extremely campy, but that's a minor scratch on one of the game's more well-written subplots. The worst of the female player's romance subplots is Thane. There are two scenes of sappy, artificial dialogue culminating in a vomit-inducing festival of Final Fantasy-esque melodrama. I am fond of Thane as a character, but the writing staff dropped the ball on his romance subplot.

The worst of them all, though, is Jack. Again, I adore her as a character, but the transition from "I'm a dangerous, angry head-case" to "oh god, I'm so vulnerable, Shepard, hold me and protect me with your mighty penis" is shockingly abrupt. I don't understand why it's so slapped together. BioWare's writing staff usually excels at pacing.

I like this post .

Well I don't.

I'm male and I didn't like any of the female romance options. But I haven't tried Thane yet.

any form of romance is lame (waste of time, pointless, confusing... how can one guy date 4 different people at once without 1 to all of them not having problems? sounds stupid. )... especially bro-mance, lame (gay).

I agree

[LJScribes]

Miranda/Jacob = over sexed one night stands
Jack/Thane = the dramatic and emotional most likely short lived relationship
Tali/Garrus = the taboo best buds but this could never work for all sorts of reasons but lets give it a shot.

I'm actually really interested in the possible Samara Romance in ME3

I think the romances for both sexes are centred around certain tropes.



Tali: for guys with a hero complex

Jack: for guys wanted to save the girl

Miranda: for guys wanting a strong woman

Jacob: for girls who like the nice guy

Garus: for girls who like the bad boy renegade

Thane: for girls who are into the tragic figure



Personally, I couldn't go for Garrus or Thane - they're a little too alien for me. But guys are stereotypically more interested in looks. Jacob seems pretty hot, though. However, it seems few girls are into the nice guy so I can see why he's uninteresting.

I hated, HATED, the female romance options in ME2. Thane is OK, but the only remotely appealing one is dying from a terminal illness. Great.

A lot of girls don't like Jacob because he kind of treats you like he only wants a booty call. I mean, he calls you 'the prize', basically.

So... sleep with him and then send him into the tunnel as the tech expert?

[Kitteh303]

@AwesomeEffect: Exactly. I went to talk to him to be friendly, then it was like "WOAH, wait, what? o___o I don't want this! HALP."



@Whatever: Good idea.

This is Shepard we're talking about. Shepard could date every possible LI at the same time and would make it work. Shepard just needs a lot of charm or intimidate.

I changed my mind. I'm doing my first femshep play through, and in my second conversation with Jacob, it was shep was trying to seduce him, no matter which option :{

I say we just install a stripper pole in the armory.

I have probably posted here already, but I'll say once more I'm in favour for more female oriented female romances.



Personally, I prefer ME (1)'s romance scenes anyway. They're less oriented for a specific gender and have more substance. But that's just me.

[Tokion]

Yo OP, I'm really happy for ya, i'll let you finish but Jacob has one of the best lines of all time! Of all times~! In all seriousness, a good female romance option is to stay loyal to Kaiden from 1. There might be a special "priize" when ME3 debuts to remedy the lack of good human romance in ME2. ;D

p.s. Digging up a 4 months old thread...heavy risk...

Got any more memes?

In ME1, when FemShep would talk with Kaidan, I got the impression that she was just getting to know him on a personal level. Only after they'd been through a few missions and talked at length together did things become romantic, and even then they continued to talk about other stuff. With Jacob, FemShep basically propositions him right off the bat, and he says 'yeah sure, but not right now'. I don't get why they didn't go at it right then and there. It's not like anyone's going to walk in on them. Jacob really doesn't give much of an emotional connection, and neither does FemShep. It's too bad, because Jacob is attractive.



Garrus probably is the best female LI in ME2. I especially like his line "I don't have a fetish for humans or anything..." But it only feels more weighty because of his history with Shepard in ME1. Their interaction strictly within ME2 is pretty limited (finish those stupid calibrations, already).



I haven't done the Thane romance yet, but it seems pretty emo from what I've seen. I like Thane, but he's too fish-eyed for me to think he's shagworthy. And what was that about his skin chafing Shepard's? Ick. I get a "Twilight Edward" vibe from Thane, for some reason.



Kaidan and Liara are still the best FemShep romances overall, in my opinion.

My psycho renegade Soldier did this very thing. He volunteered, and she had already hit it and quit it.

Garrus-"I'm confused, and this is awkward, but I want to make it work."



Jacob-"You are my prize."



Thane-"Have I ever told you you remind me of my dead wife?"
