PC Gamer: How are the romance options compared to previous games? In Mass Effect 1 you only had a few, and then Mass Effect 2 had loads.
Casey Hudson: It had a few more. In this one, we don’t really have new characters that are part of the romance stuff in the way that we did in Mass Effect 2, where we introduced a lot of characters. So this is more about how you, if you’re a new player, how you start these romances with the existing characters. If you’ve had relationships with previous characters, then it’s your opportunity to resolve those. And again, it’s in the context of a ‘World War II’-type setting, so you don’t really know if you’re going to survive, or what kind of a world is going to live beyond the story. So it’s kind of that situation.
But we also have some interesting things happening, where you’ve got Ashley and Kaiden from the first game, you’ve got Liara, and there’s sort of a love triangle there. And then we gave people a bunch of new characters. People said “Well, I just want my Mass Effect 1 characters, and I’m not interested in any of these characters.” But then a lot of people had romances with those characters, and now the fun is bringing back some of those characters from Mass Effect 1 and putting them back in the mix, and looking at what you did in Mass Effect 2 and bringing some… interesting scenarios around those things.
PC Gamer: It must be a nightmare, because if you think about all those combinations of who you might have started dating, stopped dating then started dating somebody else, you’ve got to figure out how they react to each other in every case…
Casey Hudson: Yep – it’s fun! (Laughs) I think sometimes when we do certain things, it makes players realise what kinds of things are possible, and then they think about a different level of meaning in terms of why they’re doing things, in terms of how the characters relate. So even something like: if you had a Mass Effect 1 romance and you didn’t have a Mass Effect 2 romance, so you stay true to the character from the first game, there’s a scene where you look at the picture of that character, and that’s essentially the romance scene in Mass Effect 2.
I think when people realised that we were thinking about that kind of thing, and that we were going to reflect those kinds of decisions, then it’s like “Wow, the game actually knows that I didn’t cheat on my Mass Effect 1 love interest. So if it knows that, then it probably knows other stuff that it will reflect. Then that means I need to think about that stuff [when] talking to characters and making decisions and the like.”
PC Gamer: So it’s all existing characters… I’m just trying to think what gay or lesbian characters that gives you. That would leave Liara?
Casey Hudson: Well yeah, it’s going to be similar to Mass Effect 1 and 2. Like I say, we’re not introducing any new characters that are going to be love interests. There’s some new characters, but generally it’s going to be the interplay between the characters from 2 and the returning ones from 1, and then Liara as the one that’s… either asexual or omnisexual, depends on how you look at it.

Even Casey Hudson doesn't know how to read Mass Effect's own codex. They really need to define the asari sex once and for all because there's all these contradictions floating around. >.<

Also, a love triangle between Kaidan and Liara? I guess ME3 will allow you to start the romances in ME3 if you didn't in ME1.

Better, yes. But he's clearly dodging the 'gay' part of the question. >.<
ETA: Kaiden won't be an issue for my canon Shep, not that she ever showed interest in him. But I'm curious as to how they deal with a love triangle when the galaxy is about to be destroyed. >.>

That's never going to happen. Though, someone needs to ask if FemShep is gay/bi for romancing Liara.

if we stay in game...gay is of no consequence...but Kaidan does bring up a good point in ME1 cuz they are FEMALE and femshep must have been attracted to ladies in the first place. i can dig that.
omnisexual works, not specifically Liara..but asari in general)....asexual...nah
and i squashed that love triangle crap in ME1 between Kaidan, Liara, and my Femshep. if he cant be a man and move on after i told him he is out...then wth dude?

@doody: Agreed. Humans are very physical and, as such, a FemShep has to be attracted to the feminine form to find Liara attractive. It's logical. Liara's sexuality or sex isn't the issue here, it's FemShep's.

Maybe, but it's written as "we also have" and not "we also had". So it seems like you could start a VS and Liara love triangle in ME3. Or do it again, for the second time if you played ME1. I wonder if they'll reference that?

That's what I thought at first, but then he says, "And then we gave people a bunch of new characters."

A FemShep who is attracted to Liara most assuredly has a thing for women, though whether she's a lesbian or a bisexual is left for your imagination to fill out.

(shrugs) Maybe he simple means other characters can be thrown in the mix. Like say, you can also start the Tali or Garrus romance in ME3. I don't know.

I need my "Chudspeak to English" dictionary, but I misplaced it.
Also, that Shep in the article pic looks like mine...that's exciting at least. Though, that hairstyle is uber-popular so that means squat XD

Still, it would be pretty funny:

It's a wonder how many people misunderstands or dance around the whole "Is Femshep bi/lesbian for romancing Liara?".

CHud is - above all else - a diplomat for his company, and based on Bioware's stance regarding gay characters in Mass Effect (not talking about DA or any of their other games), I think that even if he were asked the question directly, he either wouldn't answer it or would probably give another "she's not really a female" answer again.
Regarding the "love triangle", I think he was talking about in regards to the fact that you could potentially have romanced Liara in ME1, started up a romance in ME2, and then re-kindled your romance with Liara in LotSB. I'm just hoping that if that's the case, sparks are gonna fly!

Now I'm getting images of Aethyta turning up at Shepard's doorstep after he/she hurts Liara by cheating on her.
