This.
Regardless of whatever issues I have with their "romance" itself, in the end what bothers me most is that it really feels like a big troll attempt. Because there's no way the writers wouldn't have been able to predict the fan reaction, knowing how sensitive people are to LI stuff and knowing how huge the fanbases are for those characters. This isn't like Miranda/Jacob, which at least has some basis in history of happening (and I'm not saying anything will happen between those two, it was just an example). This feels forced and added in purely to bait fans. And on BioWare's part, that just seems really childish. I don't want to offend the writers, because I do appreciate all that they have done for the series, but it's my honest opinion.
Yes, it might make some people happy. But it will most likely make even more people upset, and I don't think it's worth it.
I suppose we can hope that they took it out of the final script, but I kind of doubt it. Maybe some PC players will find a way to mod it out of the game, because I'd really rather not have to kill off anyone just so I can avoid something that makes me uncomfortable.
There wasn't that much dialogue in game for their "romance" so maybe it won't be that noticeable? I would prefer it not be possible in any game, but at least I can avoid it with a Garrus/Femshep romance.
I've noticed quite a few people do like this pairing, but I don't like it when they show their support for it by being hostile to the Shepard romances, which I've seen happen quite often. I think some people are disenchanted by the Shepard romances (Garrus/Femshep and X/Manshep) because of the immense fan support and I guess it can be upsetting when other romances are "pushed" to the sidelines. But taking it out on something that other people love is awful and then promoting Garrus/X just because it isn't with Shepard is just mean. Anyway, my point is that I'm just expecting this big explosion with fans where one side is really strongly against this pairing and the other is really strongly for and they'll be all this name-calling and ship-sinking:pinched: Of course, that happens on the BSN regardless...
