I can't believe vega won't be a LI, for one reason : He is oversexualised.

Otherwise, Jacob was a failure in M2, and they know it. Vega could be another attempt with a human.

And one of my femshep alone will be upset if she hasn't anything in M3. Oo ( Yeah, It remains Kaidan as Li, but I have got Ashley in my playthrought and not Kaidan. )

And there is no indication that James swings both ways.


Except for his nickname for manShep... And the fact that he says "Your loss" if Shepard tells him to quit. That's totally flirtatious.


Or just slightly offended that Shepard doesn't like his endearing nickname for him.

Plus, there was the whole gender-ambiguous Shepard Off-Duty post that implied that James Vega is a romance option for both Shepard.

I don't see anything relevant in it.

I'm pretty confident that James Vega will be a bisexual romance option. There's no evidence that he isn't. :P

Except that guy who already has a build of the game. Although I'm starting to doubt his info. Still, there's no evidence that he is. All we've got is some flirting from the leaked script, and that's with women.

Yeah there's no proof Vega's an LI let alone a bi LI.

Still if BW pulled a douche move like this I'd be pissed. Dude Shep does not need that many new options if they're gonna skimp out on giving FemShep and Gay Shep less options.

SPOILERS (kind of, I'll try to be vague)

My reasoning for not believing Vega was a romance option at all since the script leak has to do with his career aspirations, and regs. I also can see Vega being a "bridge" character into a new Shepard-less Mass Effect game. People can't complain that their LI has apparently abandoned them if he never was a romance option.

I guess I'm just remembering how things went with Varric in DA2.

"You still haven't canceled your pre-order? Okkkay...try this: Vega is not a LI at all" - this is what seems to be BW logic.

It is possible however. In DA2, Aveline and Sebastian, that was just flirt and that's it. Maybe the mass effect team just thought it was a good idea and didn't think about the issues it would bring lol.

Ugh.

They can't just use someone new? What's wrong with using someone new? >_>

Just reread the blog. If there's no James romance after all, then the script is not as unfinished as it seemed...
That, and the Kaidan introduction is identical to the TLK files from the demo.

Ok so according to the SA guy we have now in terms of new romance (counting Diana):

LesbShep: 5 or 4 (Diana, Kelly, Liara, Samantha - Ashley)
Straight DudeShep: 4 or 3 (Diana, Kelly, Liara - Ashley)
GayShep: 2 or 1 (Steve - Kaidan)
Straight FemShep: 1 or 0 (Kaidan)

wait, what ? :blink:

I'm sorry I can't belive what I'm typing :?


Hang on...Ashley is now officially Bi for Fem Shepard?

Ugh. I didn't mind the script overmuch but some parts were downright horrible. (like a certain relationship that I will not name.) If that's kept exactly the same...:pinched:

My point is... there's only one romance scene in the script with Kaidan. The femShep one.

His nickname for male Shepard doesn't matter.
If you're getting the idea that James flirts with male Shepard or vice versa, you should read the actual script. The popular blog on livejournal is misleading because it puts together lines that are actually separate.

Flirtation =/= romance, too.

And in the most epic part of the trilogy straight FemShep has a good chance to be lonely....I find this funny even though I'm upset over Vega news

Female Shepard would only have no options if Garrus isn't a new romance option.

It's not a hundred percent sure but seems very likely at the moment. (That's why Vapaä wrote number x or number y ;)
Edit: Ups Vapaä,you already answered :)

That was only in the TEST file which was an older version of the script. The s/s romance could've been added later.

Sort of.
There are lines that indicate a new Tali romance. And what's done to Tali could very well be done to Garrus. You know, Team Dextro, ME2 carry over squad mates, and they're also useful for equalness.

I haven't found any lines for Garrus specifically, but considering how long it took for someone to find the Tali new romance lines, it's possible that we just haven't found them yet.

Frankly Vega has a higher chance of being a romance than Garrus (a new starting one I mean).

Plus...what's with the Kelly mention if he's not a romance? Something doesn't add up.

Considering the SA guy says that Vega brushes off flirtation:
If Vega is a romance option, that likely means he isn't for male Shepard.

Because if he's going to be brushing off flirtation, it's going to be male Shepard. Because Vega is very much a woman lover according to the script.

They may have just scrapped his romance - which makes sense considering that there's barely any romance content in the script to begin with.

You mean the one we're reading is the older version?
Still, everything we've seen so far fits it perfectly.

Or SA dude could be wrong or they could've added it in afterwards.

Wouldn't be the first thing he's wrong about. He sure in hell wasn't right about multiplayer being necessary for the best ending.
