From what was said earlier today it sounds like there are two opportunities for a scene throughout Steve's romance, but I guess we'll have to wait and see


The agony of waiting... :(  It's the truth of all realities.

That sort of unbalanced stuff makes me uncomfortable.  I mean I get (but don't like) that the "pandering" to the dudebros is expected, still this sort thing is unsettling and goes beyond that idea.

Bull****.


Is it more like; "We have fans that we want, and we know what those fans want." And I'm betting they don't include us as the fans they want.

I guess I'm lucky to have never read the scripts, I don't know what was or wasn't there and what is and isn't there now.

There was definitely some heartfelt stuff from Steve that I'd be very disappointed to see absent from the final game.

Could just be his opinion but at the very least I doubt they're going to be on the same level as the squad mate romances.


Well undoubtedly they probably won't be as deep and emotional as the romances with characters you have come to know through 3 games. Sam and Steve you have to crunch into 1 game and there's prolly not enough time to get on the same level as the other characters. But yes, it's his opinion that the romances are weak, and I for one will reserve judgement till I see it in action. Steve is my second playthrough anyway.

Yeah... they seem to be making a lot of people angry with ME3 (moreso than DA2 even), and not just us s/s people. I have to wonder exactly what group of fans they're trying to please.

Things like this make me feel like we're getting trolled. But my heart (and previous experience) knows that we're not. We're just getting screwed over.

Cortez is going to be my first playthrough.
So yea. I'll withhold final judgement but my expectations aren't set high right now.

By the way? For those who wanted F/F with Ashley, you apparently get one "conversation" with Ashley after she's recruited.

Honestly the only romances I've liked in Mass Effect have been Jack's and Kaidan's. I'm a little biased on Kaidan's but I think the other ME2 romances were "weak" compared to Jack's, specifically Tali and Garrus.

In the end, I'm just glad that s/s stuff is there at all. It really is a great thing to have, not matter how small.

Collider if you keep bringing me this kind of bad news I might just hate you on an uncontrollable instinctual level.

One could make an argument that getting screwed over after being promised something is exactly like being trolled.

This, it's been a long journey but I am really just thrilled that my Shep can finally just admit he's gay.

To be honest all they promosied was that there would be new options for Shepard, s/s or otherwise, not specific characters or romances of the same degree.

ONE conversation? *facepalm* That has to be different for male Shep right, like if he actually romanced her, he gets more? Cause if she only had one conversation with either of them, that's awful.

I have to admit I am one of those people who honestly think that if they couldn't do anything better than a half-a***ed job then they shouldn't have bothered in the first f***ing place!

Sorry about the language but I am raging here.

Agreed, especially when stuff like the f/f shower scene is tailor made for the typical straight male gamer stereotype.  I might enjoy it but it wasn't made for me.  Don't ****** in my ear and tell me it's raining.

Wait, wait, just ONE conversation post-recruiting. For the whole damn game?!

Romance or not, that's awful, and doesn't jive at all with the "deeper more meaningful relationships" bullcrap that's been spewed out regarding ME3.

It's a party riot.

We scream angrily and fling gay porn at passers-by.

I think we should all take a break from the forums, calm down, and occupy ourselves in other ways till the game comes out, there is nothing more official then playing it for yourself and sitting around seething about things we cannot confirm just seems like self-torture.

I always thought the saying was; "Don't ****** in my mouth and tell me it's raining." But hey I loved your version too.

Making drinks from homemade hooch and calling them Molotov cocktails. Am I on the right track?
