No, not Chakwas.

What other doctors do we know?

And honestly - I could be wrong, but there don't seem to be any new major squadmates.

Even the old squadmates pop up randomly here and there, appear and disappear, are separated from Shepard for some missions but not for others.

So I wouldn't be surprised if most of the romances aren't with "squadmates" per se (except maybe for the VS, but even they seem to be drop in an out of the squad).

To be fair though, most of the romances required you to talk to the crew on the Normandy for ME and ME 2. So the VS and Vega are probably both romanceable since they seem to be the only constants. What gets me is what they'll do with the non-constant members. 

If we just get cop oup romances I'll be annoyed. I'd rather not get anything at all. I know that sounds terribly childish on my part, so I apologize if it does, but I think if we're just getting a static romance with characters I don't care about (read: anyone that isn't official crew, Joker, and Chakwas) then I'd rather that they would have spent their resources making something else for the game.

...and now I sound like ReconTeam.

Joker for o/s and s/s romances. I have at least two Shepards that may require his services. My renegade Shepard still kind of wants to throw him out the airlock for that whole, "No! I can still save her!" stunt he pulled.

You know, I was pretty ready to forgive him for that until the Collector Ship trap and "I'm not losing another Normandy." REALLY JOKER? That's the tack you're taking here?

But yes, he would be a fairly ideal male counterpoint to Liara.

My beef with Joker is his, "Hey, Commander! Just like old times, huh?" That is the first thing he says to Shepard after getting him/her spaced. As far as I'm concerned, it was HIS fault that stupid line was the first thing I said to Ashley on Horizon. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Maybe he apologized to shep for killing him off camera  I want an actual spoken apology and if he disobeys my orders for anything ever again he's out the airlock with Miranda.

Can't be Mordin, he's ace.

It's quite possible the VS or Vega etc are still options, they weren't in any of the things I read.

It's just that... there were no other names mentioned as important squad characters outside of individual planets or missions.

Bioware could write amazing, detailed romances with, say... the Normandy shuttle pilot, Lieutenant Cortez. Or the doctor I mentioned above. It'd have just as much depth and detail as any of the ones from ME/ME2, except that you couldn't take them on missions.

Or, heck, a random character from any of the hubs. There's a bunch to choose from.

I don't think they're 'cop-outs' (although I'd love to have a squadmate option like the VS) - they're just romances with characters who stay in one place, or who are on the Normandy.

Note: all of the above is speculation. The leaks said *nothing* about romance.

I'm not saying this Doctor is a romance option, necessarily, but it looks like she can come onto the Normandy. 

She may sound French.

Max out the persuade option as fast as humanly possible. It looks like Shepard's ability to persuade people of stuff literally decides who lives and dies.

Oh, super. I was just thinking there wasn't enough morality-rail-roading talkjistu in ME2.

Michele? 

She doesn't seem to be that important. Though maybe we'll actually get a conclusion to Armistan Banes then. <_<

And Elite is correct about the romances. NOTHING. i only skimmed which is why I'm confused about Michele but I did a look up on key terms like "love" "romance" "James" "Miranda" and "Jacob" (theres something about him that NOBODY has mentioned yet).

The problem I have with this is that they ALREADY struggle to write proper romances for the IMPORTANT characters and the only thing making THOSE romances worth it is the fact that we get to know said characters and become attached to them through each mission they join us in. This is just my opinion of course, but I just didn't care for Kelly. If she had been a male, I STILL wouldn't have cared enough for the character. She just didn't feel crucial enough to the story for me to become attached to her, especially since you can basically choose to skip anything relating to her. With the actual crew you HAVE to get to know them and really get to understand them.

It's possible the situations could be resolved through somrthing else than morality (verbal sparring, maybe?) - but it looked like there were lots and lots and lots (and I mean lots) of occasions where you needed to make people see your way. 

From diplomatic negotiations to armed standoffs... with allies and enemies.

Well if it comes to that, I imagine I can just replicate what I did in ME2 and tweak the import bonus from a tiny puddle of morality points to an unrelenting cascade that washes away entire villages, but that doesn't really fix my bigger gripe regarding characters activating some dormant resiliences to bullets just because Shepard gave them a blue tinged talking to beforehand. As if 'select this option to win the conversation' wasn't eyebrow raising enough, 'select this option or Character X dies' is pushing it just a little too much. I suppose I'll just have to see how it works at the time.

But anyway, time and a place. S/s romances, huh? They sure are great.

Hmm. If Dr Michel ends up coming aboard and serves as a s/s romance, I may have to import that Garrus-romanced playthrough first. Achievement unlocked: lust and uncertainty triangle.

This. First thing I'm doing is maxing paragon and renegade so I don't have to be locked out of options that are perfectly reasonable but 'OH NOES I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH PARAGON/RENEGADE!'. It was dumb in ME1, it was dumb in ME2 and it'll be dumb in ME3.

Psh I'm so not maxing out persuade seeing as who said victim is.

actualy - I desagree with this.  in ME1 especialy you could easily have squadmates on your ship that you never spoke to or didn't take on a single mission.  in ME2 - you would have one conversation due to loyalty mission and that's it  (you didn't even have to chat with them about upgrades, once you did their loyalty mission - their upgrade shows up as availabel automaticaly at the research console)

furthermore, I had more conversations with Kelly then I had with Garrus.  and Garrus was a full LI.

just saying

Not maxing it makes situations more interesting across several different playthroughs. I mean, always saving someone is rather...dull. Then again, I'm the guy with 18 different Sheps so....

Psh I have about 20+ so I agree with you. 

Though I will never let Garrus die ever. 

It hurt my heart when I let Mordin die for me "You Should've Worn Armor B****" import.  But...he should've worn armor!

The ability to take a persuade does not force one to click it. Any time I run Main!Shep through ME1 anymore it's as a NG+ with 12 ranks Persuade, it's still not like Jeong ever makes it off Feros alive. Butcher!Shep sells out Tali at the trial without so much as a second glance at the red and blue IWIN buttons on the left side of the wheel. All maxing Persuade does is give you options. It doesn't guarantee you a "perfect" playthrough if you don't want one, and doesn't force you to take persuades if they don't make sense for your character.

Not maxing Persuade, however, can easily guarantee you not get a perfect playthrough even if you do want one, and will often force you to not take persuades even if they did make sense for your character.

I'm not sure how that even constitutes a choice. Why would you ever not give yourself the options? This is the s/s thread, isn't that our whole thing?

LMAO. Figures. Everything is leaked but the s/s options. 
Fuuuuuuuuuuu 

[FoxHound109]

Worse yet: this leak will mean that Bioware will become even MORE tight lipped about the game, and ESPECIALLY about romances, since they basically very little cards to play with right now.

[Ryzaki]

See if they had spoiled every damn thing like ME2 no one would be worried right now.

"LOL THIS SPOILER!" 

"dude Devs told us that weeks ago. You late." 

"Uh..." 

"Laaaate." 

Also if those spoilers are true I hope to god a certain someone isn't a s/s romance option. They clearly think my Shep is a monster and they can go kick rocks. ****.

Yeah, I was thinking this. It's a huge disappointment from that perspective.

Word. In that choice the odds are completely stacked against them. Something like 99% against them.
