It's the story and the action yet it seems there is far more attention devoted to romance threads than the former.

What is up with that?

In ME2 it was all about the action for me. I didn't even romance anyone in all my playthroughs, except for ME1 playthroughs.

the romance is part of the story.... all of it is equally important.

well...why do you think 95% of all movies ever made have romances in them ?

It's an optional part.

People like sex and romance. It's hardcoded into them. Blame evolution.

Propagation of DNA, different in ME.

Agreed, now let's hope people get the idea and stop making those threads.

I'm not a fan of romance, but that's pretty harsh. You're killing off some great characters, and will lose some great scenes in ME3.

I'm serious about the comment I made in the other thread. I'm on hotwire.com right now......

And I'm sure as hell making sure NOBODY gets to romance anyone.

Meh, I found the romance stories better than the crappy 'Collectors are kidnapping human colonies, 'cause Humanz R Speshul, Oh No!'

I had a problem with Ash's suit. This was addressed.

I was wary that ME3 might have less rpg features. This was addressed.

I was angry that ME2 forced me to work with Cerberus. This is no longer the case.

I was worried that Legion might not have enough of a role. This was addressed.

I was worried we might beat the Reapers with an Independance Day type virus. This was addressed.

I was worried that we'd be forced to use the thermal clips again. Bioware has said they will, but I can overlook this.

Most of my concerns have already been addressed. So why the hell can't I talk about romance options? Why do people assume that those of us who talk about romances are focused on these to the exclusion of everything else? It is possible to follow multiple threads and have more than one concern, you know.

For me its not so much the romance, but more the characters themselves (like who are the rest of the squad members etc) and for me the characters are just as important as the plot; and whilst the combat in ME3 looks great, there are only so many times I can talk about it.

The story I will agree with - the action "meh" - there's tons of games I can play for "the action" and while enjoyable, the linear "pew pew" missions of ME 1 and 2 are inferior to games like Fallout where you can solve problems in several ways. Shepard has one - "Attack" (I'm not interested in arguing which game is better - I enjoyed ME 1 and 2 and will purchase 3)

I find "romance" to have merit to a story - sometimes, great merit - but I've never seen a video game use romance as anything more than teen boy wish fulfillment.

Romance could give a "face" to the reason you're fighting. "Soldier who is just doing this like a robot because that's what a hero does." is very bland. Giving Shepard momentum is important - and romance could be "part" of that momentum.

That being said - my Shepard has not romanced anyone and though I will admit it's partially due to having no s/s romance available - I have found the non-romance Shepard to be very rewarding so far.

Because - as Wrynn says in DA: O: (I paraphrase) "There may come a day when you have to choose between your love and your duty... what will you do then?"

Nah, we're just tired of all the arguing over the romances.

It's an optional part.

And it's optional to buy the game at all.

Honestly, i can't see why people should be bothered by it. Don't want it, don't do it, that's why it's optional.
It's like complaining about jelly on your cheese sandwitch, you don't have to eat it.

Shepard IS a Soldier and usually they dont pursue relationships while theyre working(Shepard saving the galaxy) and when you know that every day could be theyre last.You dont want sucha complicated situations while your doing sucha dangerous work.Most logical is to me that when Reapers are destroyed,then you would pursue Romance and that stuff not at work.This is only my opinion tho and every people are different who have their own perspectives about this kind of stuff.
