What characters would you prefer were not made romanceable in ME3?

I'm not talking about obvious ones like the Rachni Queen or the Elcor diplomat, but characters that actually have a following that wants them romanceable, and that could concievably be made a LI as fan service.

Top of the list for me is Joker. He's a great character and  I can undestand why some would want him as Shep's boyfriend, but the character was written as having a bone disease that would make shagging Shep uncomfortable, if not downright unhealthy. Curing him just so FemShep can consummate her relationship would be incredibly lame.

Samara would be a close second. She's a great character and *may* have been my Shep's first choice had she been romanceable in ME2, but now having played that game to completion I think the route Bioware went with her was much better. She's more interesting because she refuses to act on her desires, and because she ultimately resists Shep's advances.



That is a great scene, and I wouldn't want "In another time, another life" to mean "In Mass Effect 3."

I would also have preferred if Garrus & Tali were never made romanceable, but the cat's already out of the bag on that one.

Everyone.



Serious answer: Shiala, and Parsinni. Since I'd rather they spend resources on the major characters then two minor ones.



Also Samara and Morinth.

Hehe elcor diplomat.



I would say Joker could be romanced... and by romance not a night up in sheps cabin... or... uh... on the bridge in front of the crew. Maybe like a cute one... (okay that sounds cheesy)



No biotic god romance... >_>

No Joker, Parasinni, Shiala, Samara, or Morinth. In fact, the only new romanceable characters in ME3 should be the new guys on your squad.



Sorry, ladies, I love Joker, but he's family.

No Joker(he is taken by EDI ok...) no Legion. No more secondary characters like Kelly.



and no Urz.

Also not Joker just because I don't think he could physically survive a night with Shep.

Aside from the obvious, not even remotely humanoid species like the Reapers, Collectors and rachni, I wouldn't choose anyone to not be a romance option. It would be nice for everyone to have their favorites as an option, because I know it's annoying when you don't like any of the options available. Just... no romance traps.

Why not Joker? There are people in the here and now with his condition, and many have and deserve to have a love life

Also, theres more, much more to romance then Shagging. Shep and Joker have been side by side through it all and it'd be a great romance to end the Shepard series.

Joker is "married" to EDI now. Just look how shepard and joker interact throught both games. They are best friends forever. There is not a slightest hint of crush there...from either shep or him....Of course they could retcon it just like Tali ("she has been awestruck since you first met...") but Tali was actually planned as rommance option for ME1.

Or it could just start out as friends first, like the Garrus romance.

Best friends often become more than that. Plus Jokers that reserved that he certainly could be harbouring feelings, he just wouldnt give that away so not to be vulnerable. Sorry but Tali becoming a LI is more random lol, if they can make that possibly they can definitely make Shoker possible.

Hmmm... I can see what Namira is saying because Garrus and Tali's romances were based on friendship and familiarity, and in my opinion, that is the best basis to form a relationship on.

I disagree that they should not have been romances in ME2, because they turned out to be popular, despite them both being a controversial (in the ME world) option for Shepard to have a relationship with.

I also like how their romances are based on trust, friendship, and personality rather than anything shallow.

However, with Joker, I simply don't see him as the kind of person who would have a partner. He seems (relatively) content with his love for flying.

And perhaps the Internet. ;)

Mordin. I love the guy and think he's awesome, but I enjoy having a blatantly asexual character (and sapient species) as part of my crew. Hope he sticks around for the next game.

Also, why not Joker? Death by snu-snu need not occur: Shep can be gentle. Image IPB

Tali becoming a LI is more random? Really?
Joker could have been LI in ME2.But it really feels "too late" for it to start in ME3...Then again we had total random stuff like Kelly...Maybe if you didnt rommance anyone in ME1/ME2 he could be avaible.Still it would be damn weird.There is not a slightest hint that he might be interested...Just for example fire up the "SR-1 gets blown up" interactive intro.Look how shep and Joker interacts with Shepard.

Listing his disease as an obstacle is wrong tho. Is love really all about sex to everyone nowadays?

I think if you select the second top option when Mordin does one of his conversations after his loyalty mission, he makes a remark that if he could experiment reproduction (or something like that) with a human, it would be shepard. Image IPB And that's the both male + fem shep.

Seriously? I totally missed that. Image IPB Well, as long as it remains totally scientific, I have no qualms with it. Image IPB

Exactly. 10/10

^ WOW! I never knew that about Mordin!
And yeah, I don't see why Joker's brittle bone disease should be a reason for no romance dialogue. But I still couldn't see it. There is no dialogue to suggest he is attracted to Shepard, they just to talk to each other like buddies. He is an attractive guy, but at the moment, I couldn't see him as an LI.
Edit: Thankyou Null. Glad you approve Image IPB

I honestly dont remember Tali acting interested. Garrus, yes. He mumbled to Shep at times, hesitated, though true he did that for both sexes but now is female only.

Oh and i disagree about that too. Tali and Garrus are fun romances, they definitely were right in getting those in.

I dont think its too late. Perhaps the desperation of the situation could make Joker take a risk and confess his feelings before its too late.

Tali states in ME2 that she watched Shepard since ME1, but stayed on the sidelines. But in ME1, you are right, she doesn't say much, she seems too shy to voice her interests.

With Garrus, he has a phenomenal respect and a very deep gratitude towards Shepard in ME1, which as a femshep, can be interpreted as showing interest. Especially his 'thankyou' dialogue. That was really sweet.

A risky confession in dire circumstances would be really sweet, but if that was the case, then I think joker would have done that before.

But, thinking about it. Shepard did die to save Joker when the Normandy was blown up...
