This thread seems quite lenient in way of spoilers.

Personally, I'll romance humans before aliens. We have enough problems with fluid contact between two humans. Other species is just asking to open up a few cans of worms.

Garrus: Dextro is a no-no. You are basically asking to die for a shot with Garrus as Mordin so bluntly puts it. That said, Garrus' nervousness is a bit amusing. The guy tries so hard to get a grasp on his place in the galaxy, yet he gets thrown for another loop when you hit on him.

Thane: I kinda feel bad for the guy (due to his condition). While a bit more compatible (least you won't die), still not my choice for a romance option. I prefer to be a friend to Thane rather than a romance option, though I would pick him before Garrus.

Jacob: More interesting than people let on. Unlike the others, the guy doesn't throw himself at you, and you have to present yourself to him to get his attention. Guy doesn't crack at all, even when you put the pressure on him. Least he is straight up with you when you do crack him though.

Kaidan: The way I saw him, he was throwing himself at you from the start, albeit more along the lines of a breaking ball or change up. I didn't like how he did complain quite a bit. Really did not like his disposition at Horizon. That did it for me.

Liara: Now she threw herself at me on the second conversation. At least Kaidan tried to be subtle about it (and FAILed). Kind of bugs me how she doesn't seem irked at all for whatever you say/do. But she is sweet and caring when you need her to be such. And if you feel it's not meant to be, Liara takes it in stride and won't be bitter about it. If I had to pick an alien, it's Liara by a long shot and then some.

Moving on to the ladies.

Tali: Dextro is a no-no. I don't wanna die. And I don't want her to die either. Grunt says that salarians, asari, and humans are too squishy, and quarians not so much. Hence she may be thicker skinned (not mentally speaking) than lenovo-DNA species. That said, she threw herself at me like a fastball. An okay option if I feel like risking hers and my health for a relationship. Part of me suspects she has no hair.

Jack: I feel a bit bad for her once I really get to know her. I just wish she had hair. I just wonder about her sex life and if she's clean or not.

Miranda: Yes, she comes off initially as an ice queen. Almost put me off entirely until she opened up a bit about who she is. And once she really does open up to me. I do like how she wants me not to BS and admit that I do admire her looks along with her personality.

Ashley: Not as much an ice queen but she takes more time to open up to you. Like how she's straight up with you when she does open up though. She still has the nerve to tease you every now and then though. Kinda pissed me off at Horizon though.

Getting back to the topic, it's the physiology that gets me. I'll still prefer humans to romance over aliens because they're physiologically not compatible. The exception being the asari. That said, still a grain of salt due to cross-species fluid contact opening up a whole new can of worms.

Re: Garrus and dextro



We CONSUME dextro...in our diet...people aren't falling down dead left and right over it. As Mordin very jokingly stated, there is the possibility to have an allergic reaction, including something as severe as anaphylaxis (which would likely be rarer than milder possible allergic reactions). But that possibility also exists when you eat a peanut butter sandwich or get stung by a bee (both of which are more likely to cause a reaction since they are levo-based).



Our bodies pretty much ignore dextro acids...our systems just plain don't read them as we are levo-based. Now...there is always a possibility that were we introduced to a complex enough chain of dextro molecules, we could, theoretically, have a reaction...but I believe it was also stated that such molecules would not likely be made/found in nature. Still, again, the possibility is open that one's body could "malfunction" and "read" the dextro molecules and you could possibly have an allergic reaction of some level of intensity, up to and including anaphylaxis.



So what does this mean? Get an allergy test, then enjoy sugar-flavored Garrus and the chafing. Mordin recommends lube.





On topic:

For me, it's primarily driven by personality, followed very closely by The Voice (which belongs to Brandon Keener, voice of Garrus), and then looks. Turians are very awesome looking, imo.

Well, let me begin by saying that I find the question a bit weird.

First of all, this is a fantasy game. We go blowing up space stations, and nobody's asking "why do you do that? it's not something you'd NORMALLY do". Well, yeah, it's not something I engage in after lunch on regular basis, but I can't speak for others, of course.

Asking, "why do you romance aliens or [insert another sentient, sapient and consenting creature in a game]? It's not normal, it's weird!" (forgive me for adding the last bit as an assumption, but that's how it sounds like) sounds about to me the same as asking "Why do you go around the galaxy blowing up space stations and killing geth? It's not normal!".

It's a game. It's supposed to be a fantasy sandbox where players can engage in activities they couldn't otherwise, or wouldn't dream of otherwise (I play a renegade Shepard, but I don't kick puppies and leave people to die because they were mean to me IRL). Of course, there's also games that match our physical world reality and are supposed to imitate it, but in those games you rarely meet romancable aliens anyway, so it's a moot point here. It could also be a book, or a movie or some other form of pop-art/entertainment where all this happens, but I won't get into that now since we're talking ME. Let's just make it clear that the platform of the fantasy sandbox doesn't matter.

Anyway, why my Shepard romances Garrus? He's a great character and I love the story of them two. I don't watch soap on the TV, but the XX chromosome demands I get my out-of-this-world relationship drama kicks somewhere (I'll keep my RL relationship drama-free, thanks), and alien-loving space opera fills that demand just perfectly.

Though, to be completely honest, the "alien" thing is just a technicality as far as I'm concerned. As with all games, I tend to overlook if the character is of another "race".. if it's a cool character and meshes with the character I'm playing, why not? If it makes for a good story, why not?

Would I start a romance with an alien IRL? Even with my favourite Garrus? No, I don't think I would. I'm quite happy with my lot, and happy to keep my imaginary sandbox as it is.

I guess the bottom line is, where do you draw the line between reality and the fantasy world. The setting of the question in this topic sounds, to me, a bit like there's no clear distinction made between the fantasy sandbox and the reality, at least in the romance department. I guess it's the "what makes people fall in love with an alien other than a human?" thing that makes it sound like that. It assumes that everyone "falls in love with the alien", instead of enjoys playing out a story of their character romancing that alien. I'm not my Shepard, it's a character I play, above all. (not that I judge or care for anyone else's preferences; I'm just speaking for myself personally)

Another addition... saw some comments about dogs and cats on the previous pages. Yes, many animals do not engage in "romantic affairs" (bad euphemism) with another species, because they're driven by the instinct to reproduce more than the willingness to have fun. Dolphins and many apes are another matter, but let's stick to species fully comparable to humans now, right. Such as the aliens we got in ME. All have high-cultured civilisations, technological advancement etc. so they're a bit different than most animals in that sense. They're way beyond the levels of basic needs (check out Maslow's hierarchy pyramid for a basic idea of this). Simply put, they're on equal footing with humans and not "animals" in the sense that the word is used in common language. This gives the romance quite a different starting point than you'd have when "romancing" a dog or whatever (even if it was in a game, as far as I'm concerned; the dog doesn't consent still).
Anyway, I hope that analysis makes some sense.

Wow.... bluewolv1970.

I disagree with every negative point you made about Ashley. You seem like a nitpicker and are really stretching the facts here about Ashley. So here, let me help clear your mind from your unbridled bias and hatred for Ashley who, I might add, is one of the most realistic characters in Mass Effect.

1) She blames Sheperd for not contacting her after he came back into the world of living. Any person in a relationship would be angry if their thought to be lover returned but didn't bother contacting them and instead became buddies with known terrorists. Getting from being revived up to Horizon was not a single day event. Shepard had plenty of chances(That Bioware never gave us) to contact his former LI and reassure them that he lives and that a certian situation is forcing him to work with Cerberus to save the galaxy. Instead Shepard stands there like a lump at Horizon and doesn't even try to explain anything or show much concern for Ashley.

2) Ashley DISTRUSTS aliens, she doesn't hate them. The stain on her grandfathers record still haunts her and she had no problem adjusting to an alien crew in Mass Effect 1 after you talk to her. The only one she clashed with was Liara(Especially if you're a male that is romancing both) because she saw her as a threat to gaining male Shepards affection. Liara is just as guilty since she knew Tali loved Shepardmale) during Mass Effect 1 but chose to say nothing because her hands were full fighting back Ashley.

Also, Wrex was a risk to the mission at that point. He was almost beyond reasons. If you weren't charismatic(Paragon or Renegade) or didn't get him his family armor than he was going to try to kill Shepard and join Saren because of the believed genophage cure. Ashley even tells you ahead of the time that if she feels that your life is at stake than she will act. Thus her killing Wrex even if Shepard doesn't signal her and continues to attempt, but fail, to talk sense to Wrex.

3) Did you not play Mass Effect 1? In that game she only saw the darkest side that Cerberus had to show. All the intel the Alliance has on Cerberus is nothing but bad marks. Why should she be open and understanding to a known terrorist group that has killed innocent aliens and humans to forward their agenda. Not to mention that said agenda is to put humanity on top and have aliens only being useful if they can serve a purpose that humanity deems necessary.

Further, she was just stateing what the Alliance believed which was that Cerberus, a known terrorist organization, was doing underhanded things and might be working with the reapers. Why would she question her intel? Especially after seeing what Cerberus has done in the past. It's very believable for her to assume that Cerberus might be controlling Shepard or outright lieing to him.

The last time I checked TIM never let Shepard anywhere near anything important outside his ship. Shepard is never brought to the testing sites or the such. All Shepard has is TIMs word and that isn't enough for someone who's seen the worst of Cerberus.

Ashley is right to throw the word traitor since Cerberus is a terrorist organization that the Alliance has been fighting for years. Joining them is the very definition of betrayal.

Basically you're just biased and uninformed about Ashley and her views. You also seem to like it that some characters, like Tali, instantly forgive you and fall into your arms instead of making much fuss about Cerberus. Not even Garrus said much at all after the initial recruitment conversation. It's like everyone but Ashley and Kaiden suddenly forgot that Cerberus is full of terrorist that even has Jacob(Employed by Cerberus) showing distain to them.


Garrus is appalled that the colony attacks by the Collectors are going unanswered because of the bureaucracy in the Alliance and the Council. We already saw Garrus becoming more disillusioned at the bureaucracy of C-Sec by the end of ME and total disillusionment in ME2 so this leaves him with little to convince that working with Cerberus is the right thing to do. He's already a rogue mercenary by the time you meet him on Omega, so what more do you need to convince him with?

Tali's feelings for you coupled with disillusionment from the Admiralty sending her and her team to die for research data is enough to have her be less concerned with duty and more concerned with the real threat. There is little to convince her into joining you either. At first they question your judgment but you can reassure them that you are doing it for the right reasons and then they follow.

Personally, I like Ash and agree she is very realistic and she's the only human LI I like. But to be honest, I think this should have played the same way with her as well. She also goes through disillusionment from the fact that the Council, whom she can be persuaded to accept (a major change in her character), backstabs her. She chooses you over duty and risks mutiny and treason for the right reasons. But the fact that she refuses to join you or even believe you (despite actually being there and seeing Sovereign first hand and speaking to it) just because you are working with Cerberus after already going through such a change is just pure abandonment and thus I prefer Tali or Liara over her as a male Shepard (which I usually play as) LI. Sure she sends an email apologizing but that solves nothing. I may be a little harsh on Ash considering Liara has a DLC going deeper into her story but unless there is some serious reconciliation on both parts with the option to either forgive or leave her for good and expressing this, I have very little respect left for Ash as a LI.

first,thanks for answering my questions patiently even when you find them weird...

well,for me there is difference between  "blowing up space stations,killing geth" and "why do you choose A instead of B" even though they both are NORMAL things to do in ME universe.

Alien and human LIs are both optional while " killing geth" stuff not. You cant beat the game without "killing geth,saving the galaxy"  but you can without romancing any of those LIs."killing the geth"is something you must do,and "choose aliens over human" is something related to personal tastes which,in my opinion,is related to how BIoware writes and presents them which,is not meaningless to discuss.

i think there are some reasons to explain why almost everyone finds jacob boring while Tali enjoys a large popularity. i,as a fem player,experienced all 3 romances with jacob,thane,and garrus for the sake of having every possible outcome, and i think the writer intended to make jacob a popular character due to the length of each conversation with fem shepard compared to those of garrus' as well as thane's(it also explains the weird autoflirt ),but unfortunately he failed,and he failed for a reason.and  i'm interested in figuring out why he failed:devil: .i maybe naive, but l kinda hope those answers--why they prefer A character to B character--- could give BIoware some ideas on writing better characters,especially on human characters :)

edit:my questions focus more on "why so many players prefer aliens to human" than "why do you yourself prefer aliens to human personally"

You are in space! Try the cuisine, know the aliens, love their ladies!
The universe is open-minded and my fem-shep has Kelly and Liara as romances in ME2, why limit oneself to just one species and person?

1what makes people fall in love with an alien other than a human?Is it just because of thier well-built and interesting personalities compared to human characters?

2.Then If Bioware creates a krogan/volus/hanar character with an incredibly interesting personality ,will you ever consider romancing them?

edit: 3.also,if a human can mate a turian/quarian/drell/asari,what're the reasons that a human cannot mate a krogan/volus/hanar?

4.what do you think about making feron an LI(mainly for fem shepard,i guess) in ME3?because i kinda find feron interesting..XD ....tho kaidan remains my favorite LI.


#1. Because they're more exotic. A farmer who spends all of his life growing turnips and likes talking about the nuitritional value of cheese wouldn't be a very interesting character, but toss in that the farmer is actually a krogan and suddenly he's cool. Well... I would think he's cool.

#2. No, though I do admit to being curious over what a female turian looks like.

#3. Easy; they just happen to be a species that isn't compatible.

#4. I'm not quite sure who feron is, though between ME1 and ME2 there are plenty of LI options. I'd much rather Bioware flesh out the existing possible relationships more than to add a new one in the third, and presumably final, game.

And..............what happens in space, stays in space so.............everything goes really.
Even Legion at some point (If Amy can be with Bender in Futurama then Fem-shep can do it too).

Alright, so do you mean "why does the character choose to romance an alien" strictly within the ME world and not like "why does the player pick an alien romance for the character"? I make a pretty severe distinction here, for a reason. The answers can be very different.

To answer the first question (the latter was answered previously)... well, romancing an alien IS normal in the ME universe. It's not the standard that everyone does, but it's seen all over the galaxy and people's reactions to it vary from acceptance to (probably) hatred. So I don't see why Shepard wouldn't romance an alien, if s/he fancied it. If we look at it from a strictly "in world" perspective, it comes down to Shepard's preferences, which can be pretty much anything in that time and place.

Anyway, my Shepard's have different reasons for different romances. One went for Garrus because he's stuck with her through everything without ever questioning her for real, and they're both kinda lonely, without too many friends and about to die a horrible death, forgotten by the rest of the galaxy. They both want a bit of comfort and it's only natural for them to fall for each other at that point. MaleShep went for Tali for the same reason.
The humans in ME2 just seem hollow compared to the aliens from ME1, at least my Shepard(s) won't trust just any Cerberus officer who wants to shag him/her. Kaidan/Ashley could be a different deal altogether, but then we get into the preferences again.

Does that expand the answer?

In real life romancable space aliens don't exist (yet). ME gives the opportunity for fantastic and otherwise impossible interspecies romances to happen, why not seize it and romance them?

Alright. :) That bit I elaborated in the first post. I can't, of course, speak for the entire community of players who pick alien romances, but it's one answer among many.

Yes --- thank you. That is one solid element I would take into account, everyone else had at least a moment of sanity and gave Shepard a benefit of a doubt but this one in particular starts to rant about Alliance this and whose a traitor. Calling a man, especially a military man who has a record like Shepards a traitor and not knowing where he stands is a very deeply wounding thing to say after giving more to the Alliance than I would say Ashley had.



Upset is one thing, total disregard and blatant vileness is a whole other story.



However I also realize the situation was fixed and written that way too which is why I also agree that some reconciliation..either a DLC or a plot fix must be done because someone took a big hit job on Ashley ( or Kaidens) character.

There's nothing wrong with romancin' the alien ladies...  Just ask Kirk.  Image IPB

Also, FemShep has no choice really, shes stuck with Thane ( Ewww, just no! ), Garrus ( He's like a brother ) or Jacob ( Boring  with a fixation on the Priiizzzzzeeeeeeeee ).

I romanced Garrus, Thane, and stayed loyal to Kaidan, I cheated on Kaidan with both of them and I never romanced Kaidan at all just Thane or Garrus because, as a player, I want to see what the outcome of all this is in ME3. Mainly I romance, Garrus alone (no cheating on Kaidan) because Garrus' romance is my favorite, feels more natural (they started out as friends and it evolved into something else) and Garrus is my favorite character. Image IPB

As a character my Shepard feels closer to Garrus than anyone else in her life, despite the fact that he's a Turian. They're a perfect fit personality wise. And if you talked to Kaidan in ME1 he'll point out that aliens are a lot more "human" than most people believe, that the differences between aliens and humans are superficial.

For me, it's the personality and their voice.

I didn't romance Tali for my maleshep in ME2 just for the sake that I want to see her face, I romanced Tali because I adore her personality, followed by her accent.

How about because the humans so far are butt ugly (Except Miranda.)



Depending on the character is depending on who I romanced. My first Shep I saw Liara attractive since Ash was a butt. Second Shep took Liara to cause Kaiden was a butt. 3rd and 4th Shep I forced into Ash/Kaiden to see what was different.



ME2 i've tried Miranda and Tali. Thane and Garrus, going for Jake next. Jack and Ash just didn't cut it for me :/

Humans in general are attracted to the novel and exotic (which are the aliens in this case). Same reasoning goes behind creating a character in an MMO or w/e game.

1 Answer: Because their personalities, their fearlessness, and loyalty once I wanted to romance garrus sense 1 and only choose Kaiden because I couldn't and I wouldn't choose Liara for Fshep. Kaiden tried to be nice and sweet but it didn't come across to me as he wanted his personality was not good Garrus was better. Tali is just plain strong, sweet, and the perfect talented girl once you get past the suit issue. Romancing her because she can provide the perfect grounding, balance, and support structure.



2: Answer: No would like to be friends with interesting aliens but not LI for those choices Turrian biology slightly more safer then a Krogan.



3: Answer: The volus would die not as in a get sick way but an implode sort of way secondly the Krogan would kill you the hanar....its a fish need I say more?



4. Answer: Did consider it when I spoke to him and I concluded no image he would be so damaged he might actually want to recreate that damage with him doing it to you! No thankyou! I thought him and Liara where a couple I was wrong maybe she could be with him my Fshep so not picking him.



An alternative maybe a salarian I was shocked anyway when Mordin asked if I liked him but after consideration if it was a unique salarian maybe. But I'm just fine and happy with Garrus and Tali as LIs I really would rather see my relationships with them gain rather then throw in more LIs maybe for the players who don't want to compromise on what their love should be they should open up that dating service to curious players on Omega where you meet have dinner and try each other out!

 3.also,if a human can mate a turian/quarian/drell/asari,what're the reasons that a human cannot mate a krogan/volus/hanar?

Humans and Volus cannot survive at the same atmospheric pressure without suits.  If, for instance, a Volus took off it's suit in  Shepard's cabin, it's skin would rupture.
