I wish they'd tell us already. Part of me was ok with it being a surprise...now i just wanna know. I'm thinking of just giving my number to the 1st person who plays a Jokermance hopeful so they can text me an answer asap. That'll decide the order of chars I play.

I want to know too. I'm actually a bit conflicted if I should cancel my pre-order for a collector's edition and just get a normal copy because I'm not sure it's going to be as epic as I hope it will be.
How would you people react if they announced that there would be Jokermance in ME3? And how would you react if they said there wasn't going to be a romance with our favourite pilot?

If they announced it was in the game, I'd be quite happy. A little conflicted on who to play first (FShep/Garrus, or my Single Shep for Joker), but very happy.

If not... disappoint, Bioware. I is disappoint. I certainly won't rage!quit, but there will be that teary eyed 'awww' moment.

Took leave of these forums a while ago, but since I just played through the ME3 demo, I thought I'd pop in to say that JOKER IS HERE TO SAVE THE DAAAAAY~

At least that what he just did /D I was out of ammo and he just swooped in to save my butt.

I <3 U JOKERPOO.

And my holding out for him all this time must be worthwhile. IT MUST.

I know! I finally finished with Annabel's PT - she's holding out for Joker. All that work...it HAS to pay off!

BTW: Love your avatar. XD Because if there is no Jokermance, direct intervention WILL be necessary! :devil:

Don't cancel! You get cool stuff! ...Sorry. I like stuff. XD

How would I react? Well, if they released the LIs and Joker was one of them, I'd call all my ME friends and squee and scream with them.

If Joker wasn't a romance, I'd honestly cry. A little bit at least, mainly in frustration. I honestly believe Joker is a diamond in the rough considering a possible romance.

If Joker is available, then I'd move my Quinn playthrough up to 2nd and cry tears of joy and infinite happiness <3

If he isn't....I just hope we get a chance to grow closer in friendship with him. He'll still be Quinn's best friend and unrequited love. Oh, and I'll cry tears of infinite sadness...don't put me through that, BioWare, please! lol

If Joker is one of the LIs, I will probably squee very loudly and start laughing hysterically out of happiness.

If not, I'll be really sad. :(

I'll find out which on my first playthrough, I just started a new Shepard on ME1 and I'll take her through both games in the next 2 weeks before ME3 so she's ready on release day. Hopefully she won't end up foreveralone. :/

If Joker is an LI I will be bloody thrilled.

If he's not...I will be disappointed at the wasted potential, and will probably delete my save file for MacKenzie, who I made specifically for Joker. It just feels like if the game won't let her be with who she should be with, I will keep her permanently in my head.

This. Annabel was made for Joker and Joker alone. No Joker romance? She'll stay in my head. Doesn't feel right for her to go through an entire PT when her interest isn't available.

But she's also my Subject Zero - she is going to be my first Shepard I play to see if there IS a Jokermance. So...good luck, Bel. I'm rooting for you. Hard.

*snip of Badass Shep*


You are a braver soul than I. Mac still hasn't gotten to Eden Prime. I initially created her for a different romance path entirely but my characters take on lives of thier own once their faces get made and Mac just looked at me in the opening cut-scene, pointed at Joker and said "That guy - me and him are gonna be best buds."

And I said "Really? That guy? I mean he's funny and everything but..."

And she said. "Yes, that guy. We're gonna go through a lot together. And it's gonna give us a pretty solid friendship. And then I'm gonna get wierd squishy feelings for him and it's gonna freak me out. Deal with it. Now go play as a different me until you know for sure this is gonna work out. And write about it!"

So I listened. Mac is being saved until I know that Joker is a sure thing. And I'm writing a Mac/Joker fic (link in my sig for first chapter) and hoping like mad it actually plays out. Because as much as I can provide it with my own imagination, I'd like for the possibility of a romatic relationship between Shepard (of any gender) and Joker to exist in the game, because I think there is so much potential there. And if I can't get it in the game, I don't want to play that character through to the end, because it will always feel like something in her life isn't quite right.

Ehh isn't that like real life? Sometimes the one you like isn't...available or interested?

I'd actually like to play through a forever-alone Shep just for amusement but I don't have the patience to ignore romances plots through three games I don't think.

But I don't play video games because they're like real life. I get enough real life IN my real life. I play video games to be the all-conquering badass of the *insert appropriately large locale here*. (Or, you know, the Sims).

I have a handful of Sheps. None of them are romancing the same person. They're all romancing the person they chose. (I know that might sound strange, but as I said before, they sort of become their own people, the intentions I had for them don't always play out). If I reach a point where I can't make a decision that suits a Shep's character, they stall out. I've deleted almost as many Sheps as I've finished because they didn't feel right. For Mac not to be able to romance Joker won't feel right. So if there is no Jokermance (and I am truly grasping all the straw at this point) Mac will get deleted.

I'll still play the game with all of my other Sheps, and I'll probably enjoy the game with them all. But Mac will end up a sort of "What could have been" character, because I wanted something that the game wouldn't allow her to do. And I'll be a little disappointed that I didn't get the opportunity.

And now I'm off to think happy thoughts...

I'd be so happy if it turns out Joker is romance-able. I have a fairly long history of not being able to romance the character I like in games, particularly Bioware games, going all the way back to Baldur's Gate 2, so I really hope that I don't have to add Joker to that list :(

So...are the Reapers real then? :P

I'm only teasing, I promise. I understand what you're saying - sometimes real life does get in the way, and it sucks. But as Meggers said, most of us don't play video games to experience real life. I have enough real life, and it's quite overwhelming. If BioWare decides to add a dash of real life considering Joker, I will be sad because as many of us have said: he has so much potential as a romance. It also kind of hits home with me a little because I'm sooooooo much like him. Despite that, if BioWare just wants Joker to be another Varric, I'll embrace it as gracefully as I can. Platonic relationships are sweet. ^_^

Hear that, EDI? PLATONIC.

Tbh, Suicide threats are lame :c
I understand that you can get disappointed over something, but threatening to kill your life, even as a joke, is low. Really low. |:I

But ye, moving on.
...I haven't seen Firefly. Lots of people are making references to that movie but I cba to watch it c:

Like Meg and Phantom have already said, videogames are about escapism--nobody wants to play a game in which they go to school for seven hours a day or work in a cramped cubicle from nine to five. We play because we want those elements in our lives that are missing or at least in short supply. People love Skyrim because they get to use magic and slay dragons and be a part of a greater goal or purpose--not because it reminds them of what they do every other hour of the day.

Mass Effect and all other games with RPG elements capitalize on this need/desire, trying to hit all the target areas: danger, action, importance, relationships forged on trust and skill, and, yes, "romantic" interests. Because they try to reach as large an audience as possible, it is a wise marketing strategy to compensate for all possible preferences. Hence the prolific spectrum of existing LIs and even wider peripheries of rumor. Is it realistic to assume that everyone on the Normandy will fall head-over-heels for Shepard? No. However, Shepard is not necessarily *interested* in everyone aboard and therefore will only pursue the character that the player feels is right. For some this is Garrus or Liara or whatever--many of us do not have Shepards who are attracted to those personalities/characters and instead find Joker's more appealing. That doesn't mean that everyone wants Joker--it is a select group of customers in the same manner as Talimancers are a specific category. Some people like red, others like green.

Preferences exist in all aspects of our lives and sometimes ours do not coincide with those of people we would like to be closer to. Thankfully, in videogames that are designed to please and fill the void with wonderful escapism, we can be mentally satisfied and our imaginations [rainbow gesture] get more activity than what we'd find in gray reality.

I'm not trying to be mean or lecturing or pompous--it's just that I already have to deal with the whole "not available or not interested" issue far too much IRL. I play ME to have fun and be happy.

 That video was awesome. As much as I disagree with spite-dating, that could be pretty funny.

And it does get quiet in here during the week, probably because 1) It's the week and people are busy, 2) There are fewer regular contributors to this thread than some larger threads (eg: Kaidan) and 3) If no comment comes to mind with the current posts, and nobody says anything for say 6-8 hours, then people who can't think of comments won't be posting either, so there are no new posts, and so it continues.

In other news, I'm working on Chapter 2 of my Shoker fic. And by working on I mean it's still in the theory phase of development. If anyone is interested in Beta-ing for that I'd really appreciate it. Currently the action is still in ME1 so I'm not expecting it to be particularly spoilerific.
