Who are the new romance options for Male Sheps? I play my renegade shep as a jerk who doesn't care about what people's feelings. After cheating Ashley with Jack, Miranda and kinda with Tali he needs new lives to ruin.
What a jerk, I am so not telling you!Your optionare Kaidan and Cortez, a fling with Allers or restarting/startting a romance with a squadmate from a previous game.

This mentality makes no sense to me, because you would probably be complaining just as much if Kaiden wasn't available. It just seems greedy to tell people to "get over it" because they have had an iota of fanservice while you haven't had any and suddenly do. It's lame. The main reason why most people are confused and annoyed that Ashley isn't an option is because Kaiden is this time around. So how come they can logically justify Kaiden going from exclusively straight to at least bisexual and they can't do the same for Ashley? Because there have been more female LI's in the past? Because they decided to add Chobat as a bisexual bootycall that almost nobody wanted? I don't see how that's relevant, especially since the people who wanted Ashley as a S/S love interest were never saying that Kaiden SHOULDN'T have been an option.

But that goes back to my orgiinal question I posed, that you didn't answer. If a human female were to act as a "father" for an Asari child, does that make the human woman in question a hermaphrodite? By the explaination you give your theory it seems the answer is yes.
But surely the act of communting telepathically or engaging in some sort of telepathic bond shouldn't radically change your brain gender (this is of course purely hypotheothical, as telepathy as yet to be proven).

I cannot romance Kaidan to save my life! Lol. I'm trying to do this with a maleShep and I am failing. I'm not getting any of the romance options, whatsoever. Any tips?
For reference this Shep is an import but has not been involved in a single romance... not even briefly. Made specifically for Kaidan. Is it because he's mostly renegade and isn't always super-nice to Kaidan? Agh... frustrating. For now I'm just setting this run aside because I have no idea what I'm supposed to do.
did you talk to him at the cafe after he rejoins you?

You have to chose paragon options to advance a relationship, even if you are a renegade otherwise. In most cases, this will not affect your allignment.

Did you visit him at the hospital, bought him present and still expressed that you like him (even if in Renegade way)? I don't think being a Renegade would lock out the romance, unless you pick every single Renegade option even the ones that are blatantly super-rude to him

Lmao. I just kicked Diana out of the Normandy. After she told my Shepard Kaidan was staring at her or somthing alike, I had the option to tell her "get the hell out of my ship!" and she was like "what did I do?" and my shep was "You know it". I'll just always recruit her to see that, hilarious.

I have a question for FemSheps playing with modded file and romancing Ash.
Can you progress the relationship til the romance scene at the end of the game or is it just at the beginning of the game and in the hospital that femshep says things that MaleShep would have said?
I'm curious. I tried myself, but it didn't work - maybe I missed something, since I kinda rushed with the game.
I'd appreciate any help.

As far as I'm concerned people need to get over not being able to romance Ashley with a Fem!Shep. Lesbian romance has been in the game since its conception because of Liara, and don't you try feeding me the "Oh well she's an alien whose race are all female so the concept of a lesbian doesn't translate to them.," line. Bottom line is that in Mass Effect 3 both male on male, and female on female relationships were given one main party LI and one supporting character LI. Lesbian romance was given Liara for the main party and Traynor for the supporting characters, and then I lucked out as a gay male and was given Kaidan Alenko (drool) for a main and Cortez for a support.
Just be happy that homosexual LIs are offered at all is what I'm getting at really, because goodness knows there are some ignorant fans out there who would have rather seen them never get off the ground.
Lol. I don't like her either, and I was gonna do that but I wanted to try and see what could happen, and it was worth it.Criz-Zone wrote...

I never even let her on my ship
actually by accident so to speak; when she asked to be allowed onto the Normandy I rejected because I thought she'd probably go to Udina or Hackett, so they'd order me to let her on bord, which I could have accepted as long as she knew I didn't like her <_<
alas, that didn't happen, so no reporter on my ship

Well, I won't get over with this. Liara was never appealing, she rather pushes away if you look at her in sexual way, but it's just my opinion. And I know that in ME3 there are Traynor and Allers for lesbian romance, both are uninteresting. It's nothing compared to Cortez.
I know it's good there are some homosexual LIs. I just find it unfair, that they made one VS homosexual, leaving other hetero. Especially when people asked for both to be romanceable for s/s. To be honest I really could buy a DLC if it would make Ash available for s/s.
But, I won't be angry, try to yell at anyone because of this. In the previous games you could have modded the Shep that she romanced Ash. Sure, there were some bugs, like somewhere in the game there was a MaleShep voice once or twice. No matter. Because you still got Ash if you wanted. And there were recorded lines for them too.

Well lets face it. If Ash was made a same-sex LI we would still complain;
- Ashley and Kaidan are not the same character, shame on BioWare for treating them so.
- There are more female same-sex LIs than male same-sex LI, the ME team are bias and not representing the gay/bi/lesbian community properly.
- I don't think that the romance was done properly.
- Continuity error.
- It's just fanservice. Not every character should be romanced by both male and female Shepards, that isn't how it works in real life.
- While we're at it, why not make every LI bi.
Do I need to continue. We are the internet crowd, if we weren't b****ing we would be silent.

I don't know if they'll ever make it possible to have a different ending, or set of endings - I guess it depends on the value of satisfying fans versus defending their own vision.

-Their personalities are entirely different, even without bringing orientation into this. Just because they go through the same actions does not make them the same character.
-I think the vast majority of people who have been hoping for a lesbian LI would not count Liara as a s/s one. In either case Sheploo has way more LI's than Femshep so letting Ash be romanced would work to even that up.
-Possible, but from what I have seen of ME3 only the VS and Liara get decent romance arcs.
-Given that both VS's were written as bi in ME1...not having Ash be bi seems to me the bigger continuity error.
-As long as the romance is well developed and thought out it can surpass being fanservice, just throwing a romance at you and claiming it exists is more fanservicy than having a full one. *Cough*Tranyor*cough*
-I did not mind that in DAII, best way to make everyone happy.

There's no 4th ending, apparently.
Bioware are making DLC for ME3. Michael Gamble (some kind of a producer, I can't really be bothered checking) said that they are working on some very interesting things, and that it was frustrating having to weather the fan rage when they had things in the works.
I presume Bioware were surprised by the fan reaction, again.

(I'm struck by just how fantastic the other 99% of the game that *ISN'T* the last five minutes is - I just can't believe the quality of storytelling they had going for so much of this amazing game turned into... whatever that was at the end.)

I have a question about Steve if anyone can answer. It contains a spoiler about the ending so if someone doesn't want to know don't read ahead....
.....in my playthrough Steve died during the final stretch as he was shot down by.... I think it was a harvester, not sure. Anyhow what I want to know is, does this always happen no matter what? I never got to the part where you go hang out with him at the club so I'm wondering if he died because I didn't "complete" his friendship or whatever. Can anyone enlighten me?

Is it a conversation, or is it one of his "barks" (where they just stand around and throw some lines out)?
Is the "wake me up" thing part of a conversation, or is it also a bark?
I can't believe I was paying that little attention, but I guess it's to be expected from skipping side quests. :-)

And about the endings... I was actually pretty satisfied with the ending. I was into destroying Reapers and Shepard sacrificing. And it did. Pity Relays got destroyed.
Now I wish they'd do more DLCs.
