The tweet responses felt vague and possibly dodging the question. The new options that they mentioned could largely just be F/F options (of which there are 4 you can start in ME3).

Something needs to hurry the hell up and leak. <_< Game, guide whatever.
I know i wont resist temptation and romance Cortez, but im glad there is at least one person in the normandy that understands proper military conduct
Why couldn't it have been some prudish lady like Diana or Joker or something?

To be honest with the amount of errors the DA2 guide had it wouldn't surprise me if the source is reliable and they've just misprinted it and thats why a few are missing.
Unless we get to see screenshots I find that list not very believable. It contains zero new information, makes little sense (why is there Jacob but no Jack; no new options for straight FShep, )
Vega is a new option for straight FemShep.
If you want to decide it isn't romance without sex then you are welcome to. I disagree.
Also think about it:
straight Mshep:1 new girl willing to sleep with him
gay Mshep:2 new guys willing to sleep with him
lesbian Fshep: 3 new girls willing to sleep with her
straight Fshep: 0. though luck I guess.

When the game comes out. I'm going to get it and the book on release date. So yeah.
(What? I can't stand for getting the game shipped late. That'll irritate the ****** out of me).

I'm getting mine on release day as well. The shop said they'd hold one for me.
Wish I was American though, another week and a bit....
I'll probably ask someone to PM with the options. I'm not hopeful for a new male for FemShep at this rate...

2 new gay options für male shep sounds like there have already been some options in the previous games o.O but these are the first two options...straight fem shep still has more options. kaidan, jacob, garrus, (vega, thane)

Again. I still think he counts as a valid romance. If you don't, that's fine. From my perspective though both straight MaleShep and straight FemShep got one romance.
I read somewhere else that the list we just saw is the list available to new players. As that those with ME2 save files will still be able to finish off their ME2 romance.

No, if straight femShep offed Kaidan on Virmire, then she has no one. AFAIK, you still can't start a romance with the ME2 LIs.

I thought the dev says there would be new ( was hoping straight) options for single FemShep? If Kaidan is dead who can my single Shep romance in ME3?
Ah man, she will be forever alone.
I mean if the Vega 'romance' is good enough that will be fine with me, but I was hoping for at least another male option. There's a new woman for Sheploo.
I always assumed Diana was more of a fling not a full out romance. If I remember correctly in the leaked script can't you have sex with Diana while being romantically involved with someone else on the ship?![]()
At least Diana fans can have 'sex' with Diana, Vega is a no-go.
I just thought there would have been at least another kind of option, even if it was a male crew member. Just seems odd.
I don't think we have definite conformation yet. Unless I see a scan of that book I am inclined to be skeptical. After the charade with Klace and getting my hopes up once a week and then plummeting right back down again I just don't know anymore.
I am reposting this gif Saber posted in the Vega thread because this is honestly what it feels like.

It looks to me like Diana is missing a lot of casual build up of the romance but has a lot of opportunities to have casual sex. Whereas in the case of Vega he has that casual build up of the romance but does not have any opportunity to have sex. Again this is what it seems like I am just speculating like everyone else is.
I am honestly okay with no sex scene. I'd rather be able to see the romance grow and hold off the sex for later than the later like Diana's is portrayed.
Like Ricvenart said early I would not call Vega's romance similar to Samara's because she doesn't leave hope for the player. She says in another life time. She can't break her code for Shepard. With Vega it looks like you can be in a relationship with him but it just doesn't have a sex scene.
Having no sex doesn't mean it's not a romance. You can choose not to have sex with any of the romances in ME1 and Liara and the VS still acknowledges the romance. Just in this case it is Vega that is saying not right now but doesn't mean he wouldn't have sex with Shepard later. It is refreshing to see something like that in ME when the romances especially in ME2 are "when are we going to have sex" oriented, I respect that.

You can't start a new relationship with ME2 non-squadies. But that still leaves Garrus (and quite possibly Jacob)

Straight MShep: 7 romances (old and new), 3 flings (one of them deadly) and one quasi-romance (Samara). 11 options in total.
Straight FShep: 4 romances (old and new), 1 quasi-romance. 5 options in total.
Gay MShep: 1 or 2 romances (only new). 1 or 2 options in total,
Lesb FShep: 2 romances (old and new), 3 flings (one of them deadly) and one quasi-romance (Samara). 6 options in total.
I don't care for new femshepards in ME3 since they can easily choose Kaidan as VS and it's their problem if they don't. And if it's imported ME2 fsheps Kaidan is always alive. I don't get how is it much more unfair than gay Shep not having any LI for 2 games.<_<

Kaidan can be dead for male gamers as well...so male gamers has only steve and female gamers get garrus and maybe jacob and vega. you can't say she get's no one.

SNIP
I dont mind no 'sex' I just hope for any kinda of intimate scene, even if its just a look or a hug. I loved the KoTOR romances which had zilch body contact.
I just want to see whether Vega has enough dialogue for me to feel that I will enjoy it. Samara's wasnt enough for me personally, neither was Sebastian's
I'm glad that I have Kaidan for one FemShep. I'll probably romance Samatha/Vega but theres no one else that gets my interest.

Hopefully I don't have to wait that long to know who's romanceable for who. D:

Awesome.
Yeesh. Yeah that seperate release date thing is not cool.
There's still hope! I hope the devs weren't referring to new romances being f/f options when the player asked about new male options. >_>

Sweet. Looks like I have to play ME1/ME2 twice in the next week, and then play ME3 at least 10 times before I'm satisfied.
