It is a good argument, you just disagree with it. It isn't a troll argument, the development of those two characters together forms another subplot which Mass Effect is loved for. Romancing joker would interrupt this in the first place. Plus, would you really want to make your ship pissed off and jealous? I have a feeling the romancing of those two corresponds with the complaints about not being able to romance Kelly. But again, I bring up Donnelly. Romancing Donnelly would interfere with the already in place subplot of Donnelly and Daniels.
Not everyone is going to be open to falling into Shepards arms and again, answer the question of compatibility. Shepard is a warrior, Joker is a pilot and he expresses his distaste of ever being a ground unit even if he were physically capable. Even if you try, how much humor does Shepard actually express? Yet in comparison, EDI is an artifical intelligence built around ship piloting which is Joker's first love and she adopted his humor as well as other factors of his personality. After being freed she developed her personality around joker. In a way, she is perfect for joker. Yet how much connection does Shepard really get with joker compared to someone who is ALWAYS around him? In a real life situation, do you think Shepard would have more connection with the team members s/he was fighting a war with or his/her pilot? Sure his/her pilot has always been there and is an important asset to the team, but while you're away on missions Joker is with EDI every waking moment and again, she adapts (and it hints) intentionally to his personality. So not only would it interrupt the in-development subplot, it wouldn't be very logical, would it?
Of course it could be implemented, but it'd lead to personal drama between Shepard and EDI and considering EDI is still in development of her personality, it wouldn't be a very good storytelling tool. And again, you can't expect everyone in the galaxy to fall in love with Shepard. It would take away immersion by making every single person open to Shepard and not eachother. The fact that crew members can form friendship and romance bonds between eachother simultaneously with Shepard is more realistic and immersive to the experience of the game.
So before you go off dismissing an argument as bad only because you disagree with it and not because of the context of the arguement, please, "read more carefully."
Just saying "Joker is with EDI" isn't an argument. It's a statement of finality. It's one we've heard since back when ME2 came out. It's just not a valid argument, even now that ME3 is out and it can actually happen. It's just about as valid as "Garrus is with Tali." Um, not necessarily.
How your build your Shepard's backstory can determine their compatibility. I think Joker would have a lot in common with a Spacer Shep. I also headcanon that my Shep was a fighter pilot before going to N7 training, so she switched careers before the Blitz. So saying that Shepard wouldn't, under no circumstances, have compatibility with Joker is over-generalizing.
You also bring up that EDI is in the beginning of developing her personality...why would this be a good time for her to be in any romantic relationship? I know that we've said for years now that having EDI in a romance with anyone would be a questionable idea. She's linked in to the Normandy's systems...what if she and Joker had an argument? A bad day? Not sure I'd be comfortable with someone who
controls the entire ship having a hissy fit over her boyfriend. You also say that EDI and Joker are always around each other...well, Shep and Joker have served with each other for longer than EDI has even been "alive." Joker risked his Alliance career (something he worked very hard for), came to work for Cerberus because of Shepard, he is incredibly loyal to Shepard, and there is a strong friendship there. You can't deny that would be a good foundation for a relationship.
Not everyone can fall head over heels with Shep, no. However, straight females got screwed on LIs in ME3. If you Virmire'd Kaidan and didn't romance Garrus in ME2, you have absolutely no straight options. None. I'd buy this argument if the LI situation weren't so skimpy in the first place. I don't know why they wouldn't give us more options versus less.
Besides. BioWare knew about our desire to have Joker as a romance option, and not only decided not to give it to us anyway, they decided to give him to the plot device robot. That smarts, no matter which way you look at it.
Edit: I dun wrote grammar good. XD

Retour en haut
. I really enjoyed all the shameless flirting with Vega too, and that also lead to nowhere.
