It really pisses me off that even talking to a romancable character once can trip a flag. I mean, yeah, you can be a total ass to them to prevent any flirting, but seriously. I shouldn't have to choose renegade options to talk to a someone without them thinking I'm into them. Seriously, can't I just have a friendly conversation and get to know a member of the opposite sex without any romantic interest? This could have easily been fixed by leaving the Paragon/Nuetral/Renegade dialogue options on the right side of the wheel, and then adding romantic options on the left side of the wheel. WHY DIDN'T THEY DO THIS!? WHY CAN'T I TALK TO LIARA IN ME1 AND GET TO KNOW HER WITHOUT CHEATING ON HER IN ME2!?

That's why there's a flirting icon in DA2. No more ninjamances.

because they want the main character?

Pretty Bioware games have the option for the main character to say "no, I don't feel that way" and ath ends a relationship.

You do know that there are icons which tell you whether you're flirting or not

I don't think Liara is in Dragon Age 2. You might want to go to the Mass Effect board.

At least liara in ME1 i can avoid romance with (ash was trouble, had to blow her up to stop it)

I also managed to avoid a romance with:
Garrus and miranda.

Okay, I gotta agree with this one. The second time through ME1 I tried very hard not to romance either Liara or Ashley... I was able to tell Liara 'we're just friends', but somehow (still not sure how), I still managed to romance Ashley.

The option to be nice without flirting would be awesome.

What Shepard goes through happens to me all the time. You're friendly to a girl... and WHAM! They try to pull a move on you. It's only natural too so I don't get worked up about it. Just let them down easy and try to continue being friends, same in ME.

I agree with chrono. The should have just left Paragon, Neutral, and Renegade off to the right and put romance dialogue options on the left. That way you can be nice to someone on your squad without worrying about getting your bones jumped.

It just seems logical. I would like to go into ME3 and have, say, one romance with one character across the first two games, but still be on friendly terms with the rest of the squad members of opposite sexes without having them be all jealous that I didn't choose them. I mean, maybe one of the characters developing an unrequited love for you would be fine and actually add an interesting aspect to the story, but... ALL of them? C'mon.

But then there's no element of surprise. It's supposed to be a relationship simulator. What if you knew the way to defeat the Reapers? That would ruin the game now wouldn't it. Same here.

Solution: Go to options and turn "Irresistible Charm" off. There, problem solved, now you're an ackward mess of a personality that not even Tali will get near you.

Perfectly reasonable action with a perfectly reasonable effect. Good for you.

We need one of these in ME3, damn it.

At least ME2's pickup lines were, for the most part, absurdly obvious...

Thane: So that's the sad little story of my dead wife.
FemShep: Great!  Let's have sex!
Thane: ... What?

Unfortunately, Jacob broke this rule, where the only way to not flirt with him was to not talk to him or to play as a dude.

Relationships are not as difficult to predict and prevent/instigate as Reapers. =]

I disliked how being nice to Ashley meant that you were romancing her.

Or how talking to Liara once means that are rumors on the ship that you're an item with her.

I disliked the romance traps in ME1 where the LI would ask you (I know Kaidan/Ashley is an example) if you like them, and all of Shepard's options are "yes" in different ways.

Ninjamances make me mad. As a female player I have this problem with Jacob, Thane, Kaidan and sometimes even Liara. :| You have to be reeeally careful about what you click. Somehow Kaidan always thinks my Shepard is coming onto him or giving him "Mixed signals". It's like it's forcing Shepard to constantly be hitting on him even when she isn't saying anything suggestive or romantic.

Then there's the problem that Jennifer Hale's voice acting goes all weird and horny when she says certain things to Jacob that seem neutral on the dialogue option wheel.
