The information about Ashley seems especially bizarre since I just played the Demo, and everything in the Demo strongly suggested her as the main LI for FemShep. From the character creator screen where you choose between Ashley and Kaiden and it talks about the 'bond' you have formed, to the time when you're reunited and Ashley looks at Shepard with such desire, its all extremely strongly implied that she is an LI, why on earth wouldn't she be one? Given that it takes more time and effort for them to make any given LI 'not' available to both Shepards than it takes to make them available to both, they must have had a reason to make that extra effort to prevent us FemShep players from romancing Ashley, but I certainly don't know what that is. Especially strange given how strongly they imply that you can. Its definitely disappointing.
Agreed completely. When I first heard that the VS would be a s/s option, and then after playing the demo I was really excited for the romance, but then to hear 4 days before release that it's only Kaidan? Talk about having the rug pulled out from under me. If I had known from the beginning that she (and Kaidan both) wouldn't be available, I would have said "well that sucks, oh well" and moved on. But hoping and waiting for so long only to find out at the last minute that she's not (and he is) is what has me so disappointed. Maybe after I give it a few days to settle in I won't be as upset, but right now I can't say I'm looking forward to the game even half as much as I was.
